Okay, George is back.
Hecalled me the other day, the first time in a couple ofweeks. (He had sent me an email asking for a copyof a pic I had of him and his bunny Howard, although he signed itHoward). Apparently he had been hospitalized, I'm still notsure what that was all about, but he's taking psych meds, so that'sgood.
The sort of bad part is that as I suspected he would, he ended upbuying two bunnies from a pet store.
I can't really blame him, none ofthe rescues would let him adopt.... But the really bad newsis that he has an unaltered male and female. And he won'talter them. He says he'll keep them apart, but it'sgoing to be tough.One of themis quitepossibly the cutest bunny I think I've ever seen.Ihad to invite him over, really wanted to check out thebunnies. He's still here, my roommate doesn't seem to mindtoo much -- althoughI think he would like George to changehis clothes, it's probably been a week or two.
This is Tommy, he's a young purebred dutch -- and definitely a cardcarrying member of the Dutch mafia. It's his way or thehighway. Definitely not a cuddle bun.
He's supposed to be three months old, but he looksolder. He's a good size and his man bits are firmlyin place.
This little girl -- and she is little, all skin and bones, poor thing-- doesn't have a name yet, but she's a pb American FuzzyLop. She's a sweetheart! She comes to the window ofher box and I think with a little time, she'll be a kisser and agroomer.
George is keeping them in two very large cardboard boxes with holes cutin them. It's not as bad as it sounds, they've got lots ofroom, they're out of drafts. When it gets too messy, he justgets another couple of boxes. He's got them stacked on hiscart.
He regrets getting them in a lot of respects. When he gotthem, he was on a 'mission', and couldn't think of anythingelse. Nobody was around to say, 'not a good idea,George'. He would have listened.
Buton the positive side, he's as expected, very protective of them, andthat's why he's taking psych meds. He says he has to 'keephimself together' in order to take proper care of them.
I've given him hay and pellets (although honestly, the guy is gettingway more money then me from welfare, especially sincethe:censored2: is still collecting rent from welfare bypretending to be living at my place). I don't knowhow long I can lethim stay, though.
The only other thing I really don't like is that he reaches in to pullthem out of the box rather than let them hop out on their own, sothey're becoming cage aggressive -- or 'box' aggressive I guess.
I just wish I would have just gotten him bunnies from Craigs listrather than holding off and looking for just the right situation forhim. At least I could have made sure they were sturdy andneutered.
But I guess it's done now.
