Well, here itis... one of those rare moments when I act out of sheerstupidity...
Last night I noticed that Umbrawas getting low on bedding. His cage was due for a cleaning,and so I decided to use the little bit of bedding that was left, andalso put in some newspaper to cover the bottom of his cage until Icould buy some more today. I just happened to pick thisnewspaper with these odd-looking red fuzzy slippers on the front ofit. It was some sort of fashion thing. Anyway, Ilaughed as I did so thinking that knowing myself, I'd probably mistakethe red colored paperfor blood that had come from Umbra orsomething. Heh, yep that's so me...
Anyway, this morning I get up, andI've been monitoring Umbra's water intake since he got back from hisneuter (I'm glad to say he's drinking up all the nice water in thehouse), so I looked in on the floor of his cage, and I see these twolarge red splotches on the newspaper I had set down. My firstinstinct was "Oh my goodness Umbra what'd you do toyourself!" And my mom happened to be passing by right thenand I said, "Look at this blood or something at the bottom of Umbra'scage!" She looked down at it and said, "Melissa. Imay not be an expert on rabbits; but I'm pretty sure that those are twofuzzy red slippers."
Oh.
Anyway, I had to sharethat! It was just so perfect... Does anyone elseever feel that way sometimes? I'm sure I can't be the onlyparanoid idiot out there! Well, thenagain...
