isn’t. *is in own little world where its always summer*

And the whole time I thought it was still June…. Lol

Someone needs to start a picture thread…. I would do it but I don’t feel important enough yet to have the honors…. Heehee

how is it that you can be watching music videos on youtube and somehow end up here?

Man I have had one heck of a day. Gave Abbie her Heartgard and she suddenly looked eerily similar to when we got her her rabies vaccine. She started gagging/coughing, throwing up, collapsed on her side and she wouldn’t move, she then lost her bowels and her gums went white. Seriously thought I was about to watch her die right there in the front yard. Luckily she was able to at least throw up the pill so the reaction wasn’t as severe though. Not to mention I gave her a hefty dose of bendryl as soon as I noticed she was reacting. As soon as we pulled into the emergency vets parking lot she started coming to and we just turned around and took her home to sleep off the medicine.

Luckily, she is back to her old self again! I guess we can add Heart worm preventive to the thing she now can’t have *sigh* frontline, vaccines, and Heartgard. Who knew everything that we are supposed to add to our dogs to keep them healthy have nearly killed my dog.

Other than that my day has been awesome. I can’t believe how quickly this year has been! Just yesterday we were talking about how it’s already August, what the heck!?

You’re just no having much luck with Abbie, are you? I’m just glad she’s alright.

So this’ll be a crazy month in that I’m doing the 31 Day (nail art) Challenge. Everyday I’ll be following a challenge prompt. So it’ll be exciting to see if I can keep up with this.

I’m also working on my coursework portion of driver’s education. It’s about time I get this done! I’m a few years overdue. I only wish they’d update their videos from the 90’s. The information isn’t all right and the videos are so blurry that you can’t always tell what they’re trying to show you. It’s a bit ridiculous.

HAPPY SEPTEMBER, EVERYONE! We’re this much closer to Winteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Yey.

Thank you she sure has had bad luck with this stuff lately. She’s doing much better. I just don’t know how to prevent heart worms. It’s a real threat here and she had such a reaction. *sigh* maybe dose her with Benadryl before giving her next dose. Or even taking her next dose at the vets office… I just don’t know with her anymore. Things she has never had issues with seem to cause problems with her now so I’m quite hesitant to try anything with her lol.

So I’m trying to figure out a next trick to teach Brevin. I want to keep things simple until he gets a little more calmer to work in the more complicated tricks. We have worked on leave it and he has mastered it. Right now he knows sit, lay down, roll over, shake, spin, leave it, and making eye contact with me and not the darn treat anymore lol hmmmm maybe army crawl? Or perhaps dancing? Decisions decisions on what to train a 13 week old puppy… I can’t wait until he is 5 or 6 months old. I’ll be able to get real creative!

Abby is a dog I guess? What breed is she? I’ve read that dogs of collie-breeds can react badly to f ex milbemax and ivermectin. Poor little one =(

I just popped in here to say that the American President arrived in Sweden today. My bunny Bam, who is named after President Obama is very excited and happy.

Abbie is a chihuahua/dachshund mix. She never had any issues in her 4 years of life until recently.

Poor Abbie. I’m sorry I misspelled her name. Does the vet think it’s some kind of allergy? Allergies can, as I’m sure you know though, develop at any time in a person’s or animal’s life. A friend of mine had a dog (who recently passed at the age of 14) that had an awful reaction to the normal DHPPi-vaccine and never could be dewormed etc. He was a big black crossbreed between Labrador, bordercollie, G shepherd and Newfoundland, and collies have a certain gene that makes them react badly to some meds. But that’s not known in dachshounds or chihuahuas. I hope she’ll be okay.

I wasn’t making any sort of joke about President Obama, he is in Sweden now and we’ve never been visited by an acting American President before. I realize not all Americans like him, but in our country he’s of course very much respected. Bam doesn’t realize he’s here, of course, THAT was a joke. I was just a little happy about it, I hope I didn’t offend anybody.

I just let Oscar out to play in the living room. Two minutes later, he peed right on the carpet! He has NEVER EVER peed anywhere but in his litter box before! I can’t believe he did this! I bet he’d clean up his act pretty quickly if he knew the price he’ll pay for this in a couple of months…

My September is off to a rough start…I guess it was asking too much to have a nice month to follow terrible August. The 6 work days I missed due to diagnosing the blood clots in my leg and getting medications has really hurt us financially. My husband is having emotional difficulties so I have been pretty much alone when dealing with that drama. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday and it was a milestone so we went all out for her and had a great time. It falsely made me think it would be a good month. But this morning when I arrived at work my phone notified me that I had a Facebook message. It was my grandfather telling me that our 17 year old family cat, Bart, died last night. I started bawling like a baby. My grandparents have his mother (still) so we have had him since he was born and I was only a little girl at the time. When he was 10 he chased the wrong raccoon and needed all kinds of surgery to put him back together (his foot was literally held on by a little piece of skin). My grandparents have always said that the only reason they spent the thousands of dollars and risked the surgeries instead of putting him down was because they couldn’t face telling me if he died. I guess they still can’t lol (my grandmother by the way is super mad that Pops told me over Facebook). He was 30+ lbs and I always called him my fat pumpkin or basketball. This was him a few months ago when I accidently woke him up by switching on the bathroom light.

Ugh hopefully this month starts to pick up from now on. I just have to think positively because the clots are now diagnosed, I am throwing a birthday party for my husband and best friend next weekend, and Fall is now here.

Personal health knowledge base now expanded… Who would have known arthritis can become infected and turn septic especially if you have neglected a tooth abscess and bad dose of bronchitis… New blood pressure meds prescribed with antibiotics and a stern raised eyebrow over the bifocals from the doctor… Next it’s Blossoms turn… Little Miss Grottybot had to have a butt wash last night and whilst trimming the fur I noticed there was some swelling and inflammation. It has settled today and she is chinning everything and trying to be like her much loved Daddy Piglet (Bloss is such a Daddy’s girl). Blossom obviously does not realise i am not cancelling the vet visit to have her teeth and botty rechecked especially as she is going to be spayed soon. I guess I’ll be getting the stink eye again, lucky she doesn’t wear bifocals or have eyebrows.

Aww Roberta! (VIBES) Things seem to be pretty hectic over there!

Well…this year is going by crazily fast!
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW Yaaay! Apollo got $40 worth of stuff ordered from the Busy Bunny store! He was pretty spoiled today, since I couldn’t wait to let him have his willow and grass toys! Naughty mama! ;P

Tanger went into GI Stasis … Ugh. We found him this morning refusing to move and refusing to eat. He felt so crappy he wasn’t even fighting us when we picked him up. We gave him a dose of sub-qs and carted him right off to the vet.

Needless to say – his teeth still work fine. My boyfriend has a wound on his shoulder from Tanger biting him while force-feeding and I he just broke my nail in half and punctured my thumb on both sides while I was trying to give him meds..

Ugh… and I always wondered what would happen if a Tan got sick… now I know. I need a body suit with lots of padding.

Thanks, LBJ. He has seemed to FINALLY perk up a bit today… He really had me worried there for a stint because he just would NOT eat. We, of course, were doing fluids and force-feedings daily. But this morning he FINALLY decided he was excited about his morning salad. Thank goodness! We have cut back the force feeding but he is still getting fluids and the meds the vet put him on – Reglan, Benebac gel, and we had him on Lactulose for two days. Have any of you used Lactulose for your buns?! This is the first time I had heard of it (we took Tang to a different vet).

Oh lord, LBJ! LOL.

Hahahaha, lets hope so! Shockingly, Tanger isn’t so bad to do the fluids on! He just gets really angry at us and bites the towel the whole time which is fine as long as he’s not fighting me and knocking the needle everywhere! Simba was much worse with these fluids… but then again maybe it’s because we are a little more experienced and a little less nervous!

You should post a picture of your friend!! I would love to see what she looks like (I think you said it’s a girl?); this lovely beauty that has captured your heart!

Back from a visit to the vet for Piglet and Blossom, only $90 for two bunnies and vaccinations…. Blossoms grotty bot is from stress and should be OK… Just have to keep up the botty wash and trims. Let the speuterthon begin !!!!! Pascal is up first as he is easy with his neuter and whilst he is stabilising I will get the girls done starting with Nermal and Pipi then Pepper and Blossom. Piglet looks so cute with his Spring haircut (need to get photo’s)… We still have the feet to go but once mutual grooming went from licky licky to bitey bitey we decided it was time to leave it be and schedule the rest with the mass bunnicures next Sunday…

UGHHH! About a month and a half ago we noticed what looked like a flea on Kern, after trying to find it and having no luck we decided just to hold out and check him everyday and moniter that we dont find any more. He never itched and we could never find any on him so we figured “ok just one flea must have come in on our clothes.” We have been checking him ever since and never found any more. Last night I was laying next to him and seen the evil thing on his cheek, tried to grab it and it burrowed its way back into his fur. I mean he would be infested by now if it was more then one right? Like a month and a half and they should be jumping off of him. None of the other animals in the house have any fleas, including my bunny Bleu and our roommates four rats. Going to the petstore later today though. Haven’t decided if we should pick up a box of Advantage or just get a flea comb. Yay fun!

LBJ, she is absolutely freaking GORGEOUS. That is so COOL!

 Man I have been absent lately lol So I decided to just throw in the towel when it comes to trying to find a solution to my medical issues. It’s not very encouraging when I go in for the 4th time and my Dr. has yet to remember me! I do not feel like he even remembers me or my personal concerns that I am having the past couple years. I don’t like how he just gets on the computer, reads my files, and then asks me the same darn questions over and over again at each appt and we just do and say the exact same thing every appt. I feel like it’s my first appt over and over again and we aren’t getting anywhere. I feel like I’m just going in circles and getting no where so you know what? I’m done wasting my time with all of this *PFFT!!* At least my heart doctor remembers me after only my first initial appointment. She doesn’t have to look at my file or anything because she asks about me and such. I actually feel like she is getting to know me on a personal level and genuinely cares and listens. 

Oh, and I’m having to rehome my female angelfish. She has been laying her eggs every two weeks and she always, always ends up fighting with her partner, nearly killing him every time. So I have to rehome her I feel absolutely terrible about it and I hope she goes to a good home that takes great pride and care for their aquarium as I do with mine. I would hate to give her to someone and then she suffers but I found someone who has a 55 gallon set up and I think it will be good home. So she is leaving today *sigh* 

Kern has been shedding a lot lately too. Its impossible to keep the fur off our fluffy microfiber couch. “We can get this couch, we dont have dogs or cats, we are just gonna get bunnies” We said 5 months ago when deciding between the big brown fluffy couch or the black leather…. Yeah didn’t realize bunnies shed as much as they do Tonight I decided to ignore my responsibilites of cleaning and just let it go. There is just gonna be Kern fur on the couch tomorrow

Sigh… just got back from the vet with Simba. His resp. infection came back it seems. We did some bloodwork and will get the results back on Monday or Tuesday.

Todays my birthday though! I’m the old 25 years old… ugh!

I hope you do go… Maybe meeting a few of them in a social environment will make you feel better about how you deal with them during work.

Mean while, hillarious incident of the morning, Luna-(tic) my sleek 6 yr old black cat being pursued through the house by an “On The Loos” Starsky rabbit who had escaped his play pen… Luna was convinced she would be eaten when all Starsky wanted was to get up close to the cute kitty he had been bonking noses with through the Xpen..

Hahahahahah, oh Lord Roberta. That’s hysterical!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! All I really want for my birthday is healthy vibes for my Simba boy though!

((((((((((((Vibes))))))))))))
For Simba then!!!!!

Thank you, Lions!

I always feel extra bad when Simba is sick. The poor little man has lived the first four years of his life all over the place, left in the middle of a schoolyard with an umbilical hernia all by himself, almost euthanized at a shelter, never having a home to just care and love him and really give him a forever home worth having. It really saddens me and I just want the rest of his life to be easy-going and perfect for him. Not that I want any of my other little bun buns to be sick but my Tans have never known anything but plush carpet under their feet and we managed to get Nora out of that pet store very young. I want my little Simba man to never know anything else but love and happiness for the rest of his life.  He’s felt too much pain and lonliness to ever need to feel any more hardship in his life. 

Tanlover, Happy Birthday and healing vibes for Simba! Is he seeming any better yet?

LBJ, how did the work thing go?

I’m not up to much this September until uni starts again in a week or so. It’s gotten cold and rainy very suddenly the last few days here in England!

IT IS OFFICIAL,, YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/TranquilityTrail

Congrats LHM, Shana and Clover!

Just saw that this morning, Mike. Big congrats to you all! We will need pics of course!

LBJ, I doubt that you are unlikable. You mentioned that you have anxiety, is this in general or did it just start after you were told you were controlling? Are you having trouble sleeping? (These are more rhetorical for you to just think on, you don’t have to answer.) The reason I’m asking is because your words are sounding very similar to what my husband has been going through. He has a history of depression and anxiety from when he was a preteen, but had been fine for years. Suddenly he started getting very upset about everything his coworkers and bosses said. It was the exact same games they had been playing the whole 3 years he has worked there, but it suddenly started really bothering him when before he just shrugged it off. He is a great worker, but his coworkers and one manager have a habit of tearing him down if he doesn’t do what they want, like if he refuses overtime they will start trying to get him written up for mistakes he didn’t make and then he has to prove that it was not him. He stopped sleeping and was having anxiety attacks to the point of crying on his way to work every day. I finally talked him into going to see his doctor and the doctor gave him sleeping pills and a low dose antidepressant. The antidepressants take a few weeks to kick in, but it was the sleeping pills that really made the difference. Within two days he was back to his old confident self just because he was finally sleeping. No more anxiety attacks or feeling worthless at work. It has been two weeks now and we are both so relieved that he is back to normal because it was affecting our relationship as well (this was going on while I was in and out of the hospital). He has decided to stay on the antidepressants for now as well just to be safe.

LBJ, they gave you anti depressants for anxiety? I scheduled an appt with my doctor to talk about social anxiety and I wasn’t aware they give you anti depressants for anxiety. I guess anxiety and depression can go hand in hand though. I’m going to PM you. I have a couple of questions.

Yeah, you need something else for anxiety. Anti-depressants won’t do it.

For many anxiety disorders, such as OCD for example, anti-depressants are the only chemical treatment available. The chemical causes of both anxiety and depression are very close and that is why many people with one also have the other. The biggest problem with anxiety disorders, from a psychological perspective, is that unlike other mental disorders, having one anxiety disorder increases your risk of developing other anxiety disorders. Interestingly enough, this is the only category of mental disorders that this is true for.
Haha one thing I love about this thread is that one minute we are talking about our weekend and the next we are onto something as complex as psychology!

Oh and LBJ, my point was more that if it is causing you to lose sleep maybe you should look into a sleep aid (natural or prescription) because that helped my husband’s anxiety even before the antidepressants had a chance to kick in.

I understand that completely! I was really worried when my husband was put on the sleeping pills and the first couple nights I kept waking up throughout the night and checking that he was still breathing! I don’t sleep well either. I used to have really bad insomnia when I was a kid/teenager, but that has settled over time. But when my life is stressful (like now), I wake up multiple times a night from weird dreams or nightmares. And it really sucks since the most sleep I can get at night due to my husband and I’s schedules is 6 hours.

LBJ, try not to stress about people at work! I’m sure you’re not ‘unlikeable’ or a b*** or whatever. I sometimes get the feeling the people at my work don’t like me, and I know how crap it can feel, but I have to remember that it is only work.
And yay for your doggie!

I missed a few days from being here —

Simba’s test results for pasteurella came back negative (to the shock of everyone)… but we are trying another dose of anitbiotics in case it is another bacteria. At this point though it’s beginning to look like a CT scan may be in our future with him… It’s really difficult to tell if the meds are even working though since he’s so back and forth with the nasal discharge. It’s there, disappears, and then comes back days later. So no one is sure if he’s responding to the meds a bit or if he’s really just not responding at all and this up and down pattern is normal for whatever is going on.

I’ve been mega-stressed as I had three exams and a paper due this week also. Sigh. I have one more exam to get through tonight and then I’ll be home-free for the weekend! Although I have a ton of other homework to catch up on from ignoring that while I studied for my exams. ZZzzzzZZZzzzzz.

Hi everyone! I have missed BB so much. I haven’t been able to get on because of my buys schedule and the site would say that that “site’s verification could not be found” on my Mac. At least I’m able to get on through my tablet. =]

The buns are doing well. I feel horrible because they don’t get nearly as much time out as they deserve. School has me freaking out. The program I’m going through is just insane. I’m taking 16 credits this semester and we have to do mandatory 7 1/2 hours in a classroom each week. I missed the first two weeks since I didn’t have the money to get finger printed until later. So I’m having to do 10 hours a week to catch up. And work has been scheduling on days I need off in order to do my hours. -.- I have no free time to do homework which is stressing me out big time. But the buns make it all better. Ian has been a massive cuddle bug. I’m so happy because Hugo is starting to warm up to us. He’s always been so shy and hot/cold with us. Except, he’s starting to become more receptive. Every time I go over to his cage he now comes running while doing head binkies. It makes me feel really good that he shows us that he loves us.

Work makes me want to strangle people. Not the customers. Despite how ever much they may be rude to me it honestly doesn’t bug me. It’s my co-workers that drive me up a wall. They all act like teenagers and talk instead of doing their work. I’ve been branded the b**** on floor because I have asked them to work. So no one except the older cashiers, who do their work, and the managers like me. The others don’t talk to me and give me rude looks. -.- As bad as it sounds it’s just making me want to push through my school program even faster. I just can’t deal with their attitudes. I’m hoping that once I get my degree I won’t have to deal with such childish behavior. Maybe I’m just being niave though.

Sooo. Hugo just did the most puzzling thing. Our night light for the big buns blew so we took Tohka’s night lights and put them out there with the Ian, Skips, and Hugo. Not wanting to leave Tohka in the dark we put him out there with the big buns (we haven’t been able to get the cubes for his pen yet). Hugo who’s normally so placid and calm went all hyper. He tried to jump out of his cage to get to Tohka. I have no clue if this is a good sign. He at least didn’t have his angry tail going. It just makes me hope that they will do well together since Ian seems to hate Tohka.

Tanger has this reaction when he sees a new bunny – except his response is the angry response. Tanger always gets so riled up about a new rabbit that he will start attacking the others he’s bonded with! Bunnies are such interesting (and weird) little creatures. They react in such different ways from us humans! But really… if you think about it, it’s probably all the same concept!

Sorry to hear everything is so crazy, Skipper. I have been on and off as well. I’m working full-time and doing school full-time and I feel your pain about how stressful it is and how you have NO time. Sometimes I really feel like I’m not spending enough time with the buns also so I’ll go in with them when I’m trying to take a break… or spend a few extra minutes when I’m feeding them. Or I’ll hold Simba while I do some homework. Fleury I have to be reading, not writing, if I hold him since he’s still a llttle riled up about being held but he’s getting so much better!! And of course, Nora can be held during homework also but she’s still a baby and gets antsy and curious very quickly. Haha! Let’s not even talk about how everything in my house is a disaster right now though!

TL you have no clue how much better you make me feel when you say that your house is disaster! I thought it was just me. I’m glad to hear that Fleury has been so much better with holding! Nora is turning into such a pretty little girl. =] Her new “adult” coat is beautiful. I wish I could hold the buns while doing homework. The buns just end up trying to eat my book. >.<

I’m glad to hear that Hugo isn’t the only bun who acts silly. We’re planning on putting Tohka next to Hugo so that he gets used the little one. =p

Hahahahaha. Yeah, Simba is about the only one who doesn’t get all antsy and move around the whole time. He’ll just lay right there and give you a little nip whenever you stop giving him lovins. Nora will sit for a bit and then gets really antsy and nosey about what you’re paying attention to that is so much more important than her, LOL. Fleury is really mad at first but once he calms down.. then he’s much better and will even snuggle a bit! Although as soon as he realizes what he’s doing – he’s all about digging into your lap again to make sure you don’t get any ideas about him actually LIKING the canoodling…

Don’t feel bad… mine is LITERALLY terrible. My boyfriend is going to the football game with his friend for most of the night… so I’m going to attempt to get some cleaning done. One of my friends offered to come over and help… which will turn into us probably either getting NOTHING done or us getting it sparkling clean! LOL. Let’s hope for the 2nd… it’s so depressing though. Whenever I manage to get it to look like a house again then the week happens and it’s back to a disaster again because I’m so busy. Oy!

I’ve never posted in this thread before…but I’m so glad this forum exists! I’m sat in my bed watching my bunnies chilling out and grooming themselves and they’re just so adorable. My BF told me I was weird because I said when I’m work I daydream about them and get happy thinking about how cute they are haha. I can hear that it sounds mental, but I can’t help it!

I hope you’re all as mental about your bunnies as me!

Oh ya…definitely mental over here! Bromley is getting mad because Odie has taken to ignoring him. When I first put their cages side by side, they would spend a lot of time nose to nose and trying to chew the bars away that separate them. Well the novelty has worn off for Odie, but not Brom! He will plaster himself to the side of the cage and nose bonk the wire to try to call Odie over, but she will just keep doing her own thing. What is a 7 month old bun to do? Obviously throw a temper tantrum and flip his litterbox over! Ugh after I cleaned his cage he right away started flipping it again so I have zap strapped it to the side of the cage. He is not happy with me lol. Fingers crossed that he doesn’t realize he can chew through the zap straps! My mom laughed so hard when I told her what he did because Merlin used to do the same thing before he got old. Odie is still doing great though…no accidents outside of her cage and she is so fearless! She is very independant and would rather hang out with the cats than us humans, but she does demand attention. I just wish she was a little more into being pet so that I could get a good groom done on her…I forgot how bad a shedding rex is!!

I hear everyone about the tornado homes!!! I leave my house for work at 7:45 every morning, sometimes get home at 6 (unless I have dinner with my parents or have shopping to do), and then have to leave again at 10 to get my husband from work, returning at around 11. I am lucky to get 7 hours of sleep and being so go-go-go just means I am exhausted all of the time. I don’t have the energy to go home and clean up, so Saturday is our mass clean up day. Its the few times I am thankful that we live in a tiny duplex! Plus my husband and I have a war with the dishes. He is one of those people that use a million dishes in a day and I usually only use one cup and maybe a plate, so when we moved out it was decided that the dishes were his chore. Well he isn’t very good at completing his one and only chore. And I would forgive this, other than he doesn’t leave the house for work until noon so he spends a good 3 hours each morning watching cartoons. GRR! But I was told that my hours are going to be decreased to 4 days a week in October so that will give me an extra day to take care of everything. It will suck not having the money (and that puts off my bunny castle again), but it is probably for the best since my health isn’t the best still. Plus I am a temp worker so I could get that 5th day back after just a couple of weeks for all I know.

So today I took Brevin and Abbie out on a fishing boat for the first time like EVER! At first I wasn’t going to bring Abbie along because she is 4 years old and never experienced something like that and I wanted to take Brevin because he is young and might as well expose him to different adventures! Well at the very last second I decided to bring Abbie too. Boy did Abbie have SOOOOO much fun! She loved the wind blowing in her hair and how when the boat would skid across the waves and make little splashes! She would excited whine when we approached a crab pot because the float they were attached to look like large floating balls and she wanted to fetch them. So every time we would approach one she would try and hop out of the boat to get it! I didn’t let her of course because I didn’t want a wet dog in my lap. She seriously looked right at home in the boat and she acted like a pro when it came to balancing and running around on the boat. She was having so much fun! So I’m glad we took her

Brevin… He didnt appear to have fun. He didnt appear scared or anything… He just didnt seem to interested in anything we were doing lol he chewed on his dingo most of the time or sat in my husbands lap when had the motor running so he could balance easily and look out but I think he got bored after awhile and was excited to reach land. We will still bring him along next time but perhaps bring a toy to entertain him lol he seemed so indifferent to anything that was going on and just didnt care!

so apparetly super-typhoon Usagi killed 25 in china over the weekend. that was one badass bunny.
why did they pick that name? its like selling yellow grenades and calling them Mr Smiley.

LBJ: What kind of birds?! I am a crazy bird lady….well crazy animal lady is closer to it!

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!

Pascal is at the vet today being neutered… I felt dreadful leaving him… He was so upset and frightened… He had his snack packs and the girls at the vet are all lovely but he was not a happy camper and had to share the presurgery room with a whiny poodle…. Big separate cages a good distance apart mind you but it was still a whiny poodle…. Took Pepper to my other vet last night as she was not eating yesterday morning… Had recovered by the time I got home and was given a clean bill of health by the vet… Have to watch to make sure there is no gas occuring over the next week or any other issues if so she has to go back for some probiotics to be on the safe side..(Which is fine as I am now on Rescue Rates for most of my bunnies due to fostering and rescue work)
Mean while I wish Pascal neuter was done already so I could go and get him…

Yeah I really feel you about work, I liked my job before but most of the people I liked left and then we got a new store manager and it's all just gone downhill from there… ugh.

In better news though, Mako really opened up to me today I can tell she's pretty used to people as today I sat on the floor and she was climbing all over me and occasionally "puddled" herself next to me to get pets and then licked my hand. She's super inquisitive and definitely confident.

Man I need to catch up on here! Work has been so crazy. I’m co fused as to why they are not hiring more people because they have me working 7 days straight, 1 day off, then ba k at it 6 days straight before my next day off. I hope anyways as they keep filling in my days off with extra shifts without even asking me first! I asked when we will be hiring and she said the end of October D: I hope sooner because I do have a life and don’t wanna spend 80% of my time at work lol

Took the day off work (which is why I’m prowling the forums lol) since my poor car was a victim of a hit ‘n run. Another resident driving a U-Haul van got too close to my parked car, scratched the passenger side, broke a tail light, and tore up the rear bumper. In the midst of the carnage they dropped a hubcap. Plus there were witnesses. One of which was their neighbor.

What irks me the most is that the person just drove off without taking responsibility. U-Haul will notice the damage upon return. I now know where that person lives as do the police. All in all I’m just glad to see other people being so helpful to me. Plus I got to sleep in this morning lol

Oh also, I’ve noticed Abbie is starting to thin out on her, used to be, very fluffy hair. She used to be extremely fluffy and I’m noticing little clumps of hair coming out and her legs and toes don’t have as much hair as they used to have. I’m really hoping none of this is connected to the fact that she went anaphylactic on her rabies 2 months ago and then severe reaction on her heartguard 1 month ago… I’m just hoping this is her just shedding an unusually large amount *sigh* my poor baby has been broken

Justwild – oh no your poor cat! is he/she okay?
NBO – let’s hope it’s just a heavy moult, try not to worry!

I’m a bit stressed at the moment because uni is about to start again, and I’m back in my part time job, so from next week it’s all go. Also I’m paying rent on my house for the first time ever and it’s so expensive!

And LBJ – how was having the owls?!

LOLOLOL. Tessie just gave me a heart attack. When you said cat I was like “SOMEBODY HIT THE CAT??!?” because when I read it, I read car. But low and behold – it was car and not car! I was wondering how they left the light behind if it was a cat. So many odd scenarios just went through my head!

Pascal is home, he was very quiet last night but this morning he took some salad and now he is in his poo and chew tray,,,, I think the worst is over.

Tanlover – I did the exact same thing!! hahahaha
Roberta – That’s great news! I’m sure he’ll be back to his old self in no time.

My mum was telling me that she saw a poster when she was out for a lost giant lop eared bunny. We were saying how sad it was as it probably won’t stand much of a chance in the wild if it isn’t found. I feel really upset when I think about it now! I can’t imagine how sad i’d be if my bunnies were lost, especially as I know they’d excitedly run up to the nearest animal/human expecting to fed and not considering any danger! I’m so glad they and the other bunnies on the forum live such happy, sheltered lives :3

Happy international rabbit day everybody!
I was going to post some pics of what the bunnies did on the special day, but no one seems to be able to post photos, so they might have to be posted a little late.

Haha my car (or cat) will be okay. Insurance will pay for everything, it’s just a hassle dealing with all this.

@Annabel: I like to think that if my bun was lost he’d somehow manage till I could find him. Hopefully find some wild rabbits to help him out. My first bun BB was allowed to hang out in the backyard. Sometimes she’d wander off to a neighbor’s yard. She’d either come back on her own or I had to herd her back. One time I found her just chillin with a bunch of wild cottontails. BB had all white fur was twice their size but there they all were. Surprisingly none of the wild rabbits dashed for cover when I walked up to call BB home. So I hope the giant lop returns home safely!

Wow, I never really thought a rabbit would just return home if it gets out. Whenever I let mine in the garden they just dive straight into the flower beds and I feel like if my garden wasn’t enclosed they’d just be so excited by all the new surroundings that they’d wander off and forget to come back haha. That’s adorable about yours hanging out with the wild bunnies!

Hi LBJ, Many reasons they will reduce to the extreme… Seasonally they are bringing in more relevant products for the season and pending production on that product… They are changing the packaging and pushing out all of the product in the old package (even within date range) the store has experienced problems with stock take and ended up with way too much of one item. The particular flavour has been permanently discontinued and they want space to launch the new flavour or range of flavours…. I have picked up some pretty awesome stuff ranging from tools to food because the store did not want items in discontinued Packaging on the shelf. There was even a lawn mower marked down 60% because it was in the old box… Oh and our local supermarket recently reduced all of its frozen Gluten Free products by 50% as they were bringing in their own Branded product and wanted to move the competition off the shelves for the launch.

Hey guys! Just wanted to quickly ask you all what you think about this brand of wood stove pellets. Do you think it would be good for litter usage?

Ooh thanks for the heads up, I’m not vegetarian but I enjoy eating vegetarian foods when I can. Good stuff, always tastes better and more guilt free than the real thing lol

Back when I had rabbits that lived in the garden, they would occasionally escape and they'd always come back. Usually the next morning they'd be there chilling in the garden  
Mind you, they didn't go very far, usually they were just next door (Where there was a dog! Yikes!)

In other news, I just commited my first forum faux pas by posting on an old thread – I didn't know it was old! oops 

p.s. Shouldn't this become the October thread?
