Beezille's Buns

[fuzz16]

So, I fell off the forum for a bit and gonna try to make a comeback. For those of you who don't know me, I am Brenda! I am a 20 year old single mom-kinda! Just got an apartment with my boyfriendand it's great to be on my own, again.



My daughter, Charlee Ann, was born July 14th, 2008. She has a birthday coming up soon, and the terrible twos has already started!!!

I have two bunnies currently, Sebille aka Sebi-a holland lop. And Fallow, my sweetheart 3/4 flemish giant 1/4new zealand cross. He is a sweet boy and been through a lot. Attempts at bonding him and Sebille are going slow, but he longer attacks the little boy. Mimzy was recently lost, who was bonded with Fallow. They were a love at first sight bonding.

Sebille is VERY tolerant of everything around him. Very good with his litter box and he goes to work with me and has a fondness of kids cuddling on him, not so much adults, but definately loves the kids

Mimzy was my french lop, here she is with Fallow. RIP miss you girl

And my tolerant giant who likes sleeping in bed, not eating his veggies, and cuddles

And also, a rehabber has been helping me raise a wild bunny. She took him to te vet and what was thought to be a fractured leg is actually not, but due to head trauma he will always be a bit funny, walking in circles and such. Every now and then his ear will stop start bleeding again so he still has some rough spots ahead where he may not make it. He is eating grass and hay and now she is talking to me about options for long term rehab due to his head trauma he will never be able to live out a life like a wild rabbit.

So now she is doing research about places for long term rehabs. The bf has become very attached though and so I may try to get liscenced to rehab him and keep him here with me. Please don't flame me for this, she said other options the rehab would do is let it go anyways, or feed it to the predatory animals. So right now it's still up in the air about the fate of the baby bunny...and if your curious about his coming to me. A customer who knew I had rabbits asked adviceabout him after her husband ran over the nest with a lawnmower and I told her the chances of survival were low. She brought him in and asked if I could do something to help...I'm a bleeding heart. Bf said he didn't care. His name is Honda (were big into cars) and he was named that cause he doesn't work right. Kinda a joke but it suits him.

After looking at the cute sweet face of Charlee Ann in the first picture, terrible twos, from her?

 

[fuzz16]

YA!!! you would never think it...but she has come to like punding on the ground with fists and heels and doubling over squeeling like a stuck pig. lol. ugh....

been a stressful week though. between having my own apartment and living with the bf and work and had the baby shower this weekend im exhausted. worked 8 to 1 and had the baby shower 1 to 4 then back to work from 4:30 to 8. ugh! i came home fell in bed...

remember the terrible twos:X charlee is a sweet looking little lady tho!

good luck with the baby bunny - there are a lot of people who would have just let nature take it's courseray:

 

[fuzz16]

normally i would have..i grew up in the country...i grew up seeing animals killed or die and it never bothers me. its hard convincing myself its ok to care about wild animals sometimes, but once i do i dont stop. ): baby is thriving though and during run time he came and laid in the niche of my arm and stomach. ill miss his baby stage.

 

[fuzz16]

OH! forgot to mention...brought home Fallow finally today! I havn't seen him in about a week...lol...he has been at a friends and she tends to love to much and feed to much. SO! Fallow is going to start working out hardcore. I missed him though, havn't seen him a lot the last month and I'm sure it's been hard for him loosing Mimzy then moved to a strange place. Him and Sebi are hopefully going to bond. *fingers crossed*

 

[Wabbitdad12]

I bet he missed you too.

 

[SweetSassy]

I'm so glad things are looking up andworking out for you. You deserve it Love the pic's.

 

[fuzz16]

Dave, my friend kept saying he'd miss me. During run time she said he'd just look around the room really confused and after searching he'd go back to the cage and lay down. Possibly looking for Mimzy to, though.... ):

I am dog sitting my sisters dog (who I have joint custody over) and our friends dog. These two mutts don't freaking stop! So annoying playing 24/7. Hook hangs out by the rabbits all the time just staring, and Daisy tries to play with her. Lol.

And also...woke up waaaay to early!!! I got up at 5am cause dogs had to pee. ugh...taking two big dogs down a two flights of stairs. NEVER AGAIN! I shoulda waited the 5 months before an apartment became available on the floor level!!

Keep trying to charge my camera batteries but nada....and phone fell in the toilet so I have no way of taking pictures. GR.

 

[fuzz16]

Weeeelll...the bfs dad didnt like me as far as I knew because he thinks I am a bit controlling, but he is also a very controlling guy who thinks women should do everything and more. But he was in a good mood today, bought us a entertainment center for cheap-20, a new matress and egyption cotton sheets and pillow cases and bed skirt, a nice suede comforter with two shams, and a couple of those fancy pillows simply for decoration....i dont know why but their 40$ a peice!?!?! so his dad spent 700$ on us today. And tomorrow I am supposed to go to nebraska furniture mart and find a bed frame and dresser and night stand-matching set- that I like and to let them know. UGH...I would rather them spend a grand on paying two months rent. haha. Oh well though, it's super nice of them. And meaning the bf broke his back, the matrss should help a lot.

Annnnd...added a new member to the family. We have "OUR" first pet. Meaning my buns were mine and my cat was mine (shes not here yet) and the sometimes resident dog is mine...he wanted an us pet. So I found one!!! Pictures tomorrow, I'm exhausted. Still unnamed, though...this is where its supposed to get suspenseful!! night

 

[fuzz16]

Welcome to my family-who I will try to bond with Sebs...no name currently.

 

[fuzz16]

Charlee went to the dr today...about every month she seems to be getting ear infections. This time the infection was oozing out. I had a nice dr this time who wasn't rushing me or anything, even talked to me about my wrist problems....i have a cyst and he told me to smash it, with a bible of all things! he said another option is using a needle and syringe to get it out, ill go that route. lol.

So he said if the medicine doesn't start working in a week, call him, not my dr, to talk about tubes for her ears. ): scary.

 

[SweetSassy]

I haven't looked thru your blog but is that a new rabbit? Boy or girl? He/ She is beautiful! I love the coloring and long ears.



Very cute pic's Your daughter is so cute. My 2 smaller kids had tubes in their ears and it's much better than dealing with ear infection after earinfection. It's a really quick procedure. I hope she feels better.

 

[fuzz16]

i got him memorial day still deciding on names though...my friend wants to call him dumbo...lol. but i have a trend goin wit weird names. I was thinking ace, but it just doesnt fit his nerdy personality.

best part of english lops so far...he trips on his ears then gets really upset and thumps then grooms himself like nothing happened-like cats do when they miss the ledge or something lol

ya ive heard ood things about tubes, so im seein that as a solution to all the problems weve had lately with her.

also...he told me to drain my cyst witha syringe and needle cause its growin between my wrist joint, pushing it apart, causin immense pain. on top of arthritis which im now takin arthritis pain meds for...im to young for this

 

[Myia09]

What a beautiful english lop! So handsome!

 

[fuzz16]

thanks im hopin really hard i dont have a bad experiance with him, so far hes great, a little skittish still, but with the dog in his face i understand.

i also chickened out on shoving the needle in my cyst. i didnt wear my brace all day and im paying for it right now

 

[Bassetluv]

Oh gosh, where to begin? First, just wanted to say you have a beautiful little girl! She reminds me very much of a little girl I used to babysit many many years ago. I read what you posted about ear infections; my son was plagued with them as well, when he was little. I can't recall what age he was when they began (around 2, maybe?) but it seemed an infection always came on in the middle of the night, and always in the middle of the week. He went through antibiotic after antibiotic, until a specialist recommended tubes in the ears. So he had that done as well. Unfortunately for Stephen, the tubes didn't work, so he finally underwent surgery to have his tonsils removed, and never had an infection again after that. From what I understand, however, the tubes usually do work well (it seems my son was a tough case). I too, remember having ear infections when I was little, and treatment way back then was a bit different. My mom would warm up some oil and put it in my ear canal...it didn't really help, but the one thing I can recall vividly is the pain associated with an ear infection...it was wicked! Hopefully the tubes will clear up Charlee's infections quickly. Oh, and I agree with what SweetSassy said...procedure for putting in tubes is quick and quite routine.

And I have to say that Sebi is one of the cutest bunnies I've seen! I love his fuzzy look and Holland-ish markings (not to mention those eyes!).

Annnnd (jumping in glee)....another e-lop in the forum!!!!!! Woohoo! What a good-looking little guy too. *Waves at Mr. No-name* :biggrin:

 

[fuzz16]

Id be to afraid to use any oils in her ear or medicine that the dr hasnt approved. once a week a put some ear cleaner in their to break up the large amount of wax build up though. she always grabs it and says medicine. lol. and its a lot better now...but if it comes up i think i will be adament about tubes after what ive heard and read about it.






I LOOOOVE Sebi. He goes to work with me and will sit on the counter for hours and lets little kids cuddle on him and he is great about using his litter box. He really loves little kids, though. Never bitten but sorta has that whatever diatant attitude my last holland had. And yes...his eyes are definately beautiful. Which is how he got his name. Sebille means fairy lol. He tends to be at the butt of the girly jokes around here



AND THANK YOU! I have been wanting an e-lop since before I got my flemish almost two years go! They always seemed so far away, though and I could never afford the trip or flying them here. He's from a breeder in Iowa. Hes such a doll and I'm so happy to have him join my family!!!





The more and more I think about names for the elop, i wanna name him Ace..but still not sure. I would love to call him Aaron after my friend who passed almost a year ago in a week...but if anything happened to him after namin him Aaron id be heartbroken

 

[Wabbitdad12]

My daughter had chronic ear infections about the same age as Charlee Ann. They were also affecting her speech development. The dr said it would be like trying to hear someone talk underwater. I am a big fan of tubes for the ears. They kept things drained and she didn't have anymore infections.

I see your another victim of an e-lop. Beautiful bunny, I love this look, I've seen it in my Daisy Mae many times, its the what can I get into that they don't think I can get into. Like Bassetluv said the "e" in e-lop stands for engineer so watch out!

Charlee is so adorable! How is the little cottontail doing? Does he have a name yet?
