Apollo's Acres

We're back from camping. Ugh it was damp, it wascold, I am so glad I'm home. I've decided the next time we go campingI'm going to see how Christa likes it. We took Otis once and it was anightmare. He was just not himself, thumping, throwing stuff, just nota happy bunn. I had to take him home because he was not enjoying it atall. Stormy is just too skittish to even think about taking himcamping, I know it would upset him to much. We'll see how Christa andHopi take to it.

Spring, every time Otis gets his ears tangled like that, that song goes through my head.

Di and ME, :bigtears:both of your responses are so sweet. To be honestI'm not over Apollo, and I really don't think I ever will be. I stillcry more days than not. But then people say things like you both didand I smile. I'm so glad I was able to share him with so many.

I was going to wait awhile longer before I did this but in light ofwhat I've been reading and hearing I think now would be a good time.

I've set up a photo album for Apollo. I put into it over 1,000pictures. You can leave comments also. The best part is that thepictures will always be there. If you go to the site you will see youcan also download the pics, so if you see one or two or a few that youlike please feel free. All I ask is that you send me a pm here and justlet me know what they will be used for. I just don'twant tosee him entered in contests for cash prizes or sponsoring something I'mnot comfortable with. I hope you understand.

That is a beautiful memorial. I know it has to be hard on you not having him around anymore.

Tina, I sat this morning and looked at every photo and cried and smiled.

Apollo was simply the most gorgeous rabbit ever, and not justthat. His personality really shines through inthosepictures.

My favorites are the outdoor shots. The natural light reallybrought out his beauty. His eyes were extraordinarilybeautiful.

He captured so many hearts. He'll never be forgotten.

Binkies, thank you. It is hard, but I am so gladI am the picture taking nut that I am. I have so many awesome pics ofmy big guy.

Laura, I really love his outdoor pics too. I also really likethe ones that have people or animals with him. To me those show howawesome he was with everyone and every critter. I just wish I couldhave gotten a picture of him kissing the piglet at the fair.

We finally got most of the bunny and people gardens planted. Wouldn'tyou know it we have a frost warning tonight so have to go out and covereverything up.:growl:I was hoping to get pics of the kidsoutside today but will have to wait until the ground is dry and it'swarmer.

Thanks for taking the time to show us thosepictures Tina, I so loved seeing the wonderful boy again. I stillremember having tears running down my face when I heard he had passedaway,:tears2:love you Apollo.:hug2:

Hi Tina!!! It is so good tohave you back!!! I have thought about you, your peoplefamily and bunny family many times. I see from the picturesthat your bunny family is doing really well. I hope that Daleand Jer are doing well also. I haven't taken time to gothrough the memorial for Apollo yet, but one of my favorite pictures ofhim was the Elvis pic. My favorite story was when you weresick and he would come check on you. Oh ,and the time youtook him to the ball game and the people got upset because they thoughthe was a dog. Didn't they think that you did something to hisears?

Yes, he was one special bunny!! I am sorry that hewas with youjust a shot time. Sometimes life doesnot seem fair!!

Do you have any other critters? I always enjoyed your animalstories!! Feel free to share if you have anymore. So good to see youback!!!:bunnydance: Beckie,Trouble and Trixie

Bunnys Rule, awww that means so much. I know itsounds kind of selfish but sometimes it helps to know we are not alonein missing Apollo.



Beckie, Yes a woman at Jer's game thought Apollo was a dogand got very cross thinking I had done some cruel surgery to make hisbig ears stand up like that. The look on her face when I picked him toshow her he wasn't a dog but a rabbit...priceless.

Dale and Jer are doing very well, thank you.

We did add two special needs kitties to our family. We added toadorable kitties to our family. The family we got them from left outthe problems they both have. We found out once they were here forawhile. Dusty can have anything but the cheapest cat food. Everythingelse and he vomits for hours.

Skreechy has some brain damage so requires a lot of extraattention to keep him safe and happy. He gets lost in the house andwill cry constantly. So we have to keep calling his name so he can findus or go get him. He was hyper-sensitive to touch, he wanted us to pethim but after 5 minutes he would cry and couldn't handle it. He'sgotten much better about it now.

I'm going to get some pics of them up some time this week for sure.

Pics? :waiting:

Weekends here are usually pretty busy and we are gone or outside most of the time.

I took a few pics of Dusty and Skreechy I just have to upload them, I'll do it tomorrow.

Here is one of them snuggling.

Dusty & Skreechy-Brotherly Love.

Your kitties are soo beautiful too!

How sweet!

Awww!! That is sooo cute!

I haven't talked to you in such a long time! I hope everything is going well! :sunshine:
