Well I decided to start my blog about my buns, now I cant say for sure that I will keep it up because downloading, or up loading pics is as quick as plucking your eyebrows as oppose to waxing.
An introduction to my buns, Belle is a female Dutch who turned 1 in fed 2007, and Sooty was 3-4 years in 2007. Belle was found on craigslist , her owner could no longer keep her due to allergies that her husband was having. To tell you the truth my craigs list posting would have read.........."free to a good home, one husband who is allergic to rabbits , so home that he goes to should not have any buns" :laugh:. They had her only four days when they posted about her. We emailed a few days until I could get there to pick her up , and we traveled 1 1/2 hours into the heart of Downtown Philly. I lived in Philly for 28 years and would not travel to center city unless my life depended on it, I would litterally have panic attacks thinking about having to go down their, so needless to say my hubby drove,lol. We brought her home and she was in a store bought cage. We , well I , teetered back and forth what kind of houseing she was going to have, one option was a cage with a pen around it, or a NIC cage? She stayed in the cage at night and then I opened it during the day and she had the run of the pen, but I saw all the rabbits on RO with their cool cages I had to build one.
This was my Belle when she came home, she looks ssssooooo little.
This was Belle's first home a cage with a pen around it.
This was my first attempt of a cage, dont ask me what i was thinking with no coroplast on the bottom????? I dont know if i was just waiting to get the coro or I thought "my" rabbit would be different,lol.
We had Belle a few months and decided to get her a MAN :wiggle I was on Petfinder, or craigslist looking and looking and looking. I answered a few adds but nothing "felt" right, I decided to just sit back and wait for "THE ONE". While on Petfinder one day I saw the most pathetic picture of a black lop, with his head hung low, on a wire bottom cage, with a description that said that he had a hard start to life, I would later find out how hard. I spent the next one to one and a half months looking at his pic, and pulling it up every morning to see if he finally got adopted. Finally I called just to ask if he was still there, and he was!!!!!!!!!!! Well within two days i was bringing him home, I had to go fill out an application and wait 24 hours, to make sure that I still wanted him, and OOHHHH I did. While at the shelter talking to the girl who was in the small animal room I found out the vet office that had him and brought him in, so when i went home i called them and asked what his story was. Here is what I learned. Someone was driving by and out on the curb with some home furnishing that were out on the trash was a rabbit hutch, with Sooty in it. A sign on the outside that said "Likes pop corn, pizza and ice cream" :headsmack The vet office took him in cut his teeth, got him back to Sexy Sooty status, and spent a while trying to find a home for him with not much luck. They did find a home, that in hind site they should have never have let this woman take him, the woman brought him back saying that he wasnt acting right. She was housing him outside in a hutch, in the dead of summer :nerves1. When he came back in to them he had mites , so again they worked on my baby got rid of his mites and got him all better. After looking for another home they had no luck so off to the shelter they took him. Now that is where I come in. He came home with me and it was like he knew he belonged thier, he was ssssssoooooooo comfortable, he wasnt afraid of anything. The vaccum didnt bother him, the cats peering in at him did not bother him, the kids and dogs didnt bother him, and he flopped like he lived here all his life.
THis was one of the first couple of days home, could he be anymore relaxed.
This was his first pic, I dont know if his head is just too heavy to hold up?
Then after Sooty got nutered it was bonding time, ugh i was :nerves1
This was the begining, Sooty looks llooonnnggg in this pic.
And this is the end result, it is not always this lovey, Belle is a little aggressive and we are working on that. Sooty is obnoxiously submissive, to the point that he is annoying in wanting her to groom him. I see why he humps her,lol, hence the nickname HUMPERELLA.
This leads us to today my buns are nic cage with pen attatched bunnies, I often get jealous of the free range bunnies. Due to my house it is not possible for them to have access like that. My dogs, my cats, my paparrazzi kids. So today we let them out in the living room for some roaming time and I enjoyed it so much , it was so nice to see them exploring and looking around, and I even caught Sooty doing a binky, and if you know Sooty he doesnt Binkie often. It was a little hairy at first because the kids where like the paparazzi is to Brittney Spears, so they went upstairs after a little bit and my older son sat downstairs with us. Here are some pics of them outside int he living room.
BUNNY BUTT, not only bunny butt but running bunny but,lol.
Sooty coming out of his cage looking at me wondering why I was taking a ton of pics.
Taking a break from exploring and hanging by the front of the cage.
Sooty went over and sat next to my oldest, thought that was so cute.
Sooty hopping around the floor.
so that sums it up for now I love taking pics, but hate uploading them so i dont know how often i will .
