Hello everyone!
It looks like this is going to be my RO blog!
First, lets start off with I'm 20 years old and I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I have 3 animals, and have fostered many.
My passion is animals - except birds. To be honest, they scare me.
I have worked in two different pet stores, and in a vets office as a vet assistant.
I feel the need to explain that neither of the pet stores I worked at sold rabbits.
Just had rabbits and cats for adoption from the SPCA.

I have volunteered many hours at the local no-kill shelter, but have recently signed up to be a volunteer and the Vancouver Rabbit Rescue.

So to put my name to a face, this is me enjoying my Canadian hockey during the play-offs!




Now on to my babies! Lets start with the cats!



30227_398879096990_505591990_4722780_1490527_n.jpg

First we have my eldest, Abu.
I've had him since I was 4 years old so that would make him 16.
I call him the "devil cat". Why? Because he's extremely temperamental!
He's a fighter as well. He's missing a bit of his ear from a scrap he got into years ago.
He also has a limp and a heart murmur from his old age.
But he's on glucosamine and chondroitin to help with his joints.

Abu is also senile. Scratching at open doors and meowing without a cause.




30227_398881426990_505591990_4722817_824575_n.jpg

Then we have Milo, who is my baby boy.
Don't be fooled! He's far from a baby in age!
He's 13 years old, but he acts like a kitten at least for a few hours a day.
Bolting up and down the stairs, finding entertainment in shoes, and chasing his own tail.
I actually have a problem with him getting into the laundry, stealing underwear and dragging it outside!
But don't get me wrong, he's a great cat that loves to cuddle!



n505591990_1872102_1404.jpg

And then of course we have Ruby! My little bun bun with a theme song!
I just recently found out that shes a harlequin dutch cross.
I've had her since she was 8 weeks old, and she was a rescue rabbit.
She is now 2 1/2 years old and non-spayed. At least not yet.
I've been told her temperament is quite good for a non-spayed rabbit.
I couldn't stand having her in a cage when she got bigger, so for the most part she's a house trained rabbit with a room.

I hope to add some more pictures, some of the animals I fostered, as well as more of Milo, Abu, and Ruby!


Tina :bunnybutt:

 
Lovely pictures...love your cats...and Ruby is just a pretty little girl..

looking forward to reading more..
 
Well the weather has been lousy, when the weather man said it would be nice and sunny today and tomorrow.
(Sorry Ruby, looks like we're going to have to play inside today.)

Today was my first day of volunteering at the Vancouver Rabbit Rescue and Advocacy!
So many cute buns and so many that I want to take home!
There is this one named Lionel that I would love for Ruby to have as a companion.
But I have to wait until I get her spayed which will hopefully be soon!

o o o o o


While I'm on here, I might as well share some photos of Pepsi!
She is the little girl bun that I found in a field by my house.
She had obviously been dropped there or escaped since she ran straight to my open hand.
Right away I drove with her to the local no-kill shelter.
However, there wasn't enough room for her.
They offered me a huge cage to keep her in for the time being.

13532_167413551990_505591990_3292020_7629134_n.jpg



So I put up signs around the neighborhood "Found Rabbit".
After a week no one had claimed her, so I started to look for other housing options for her.
I didn't want to take her to another shelter where she might have been put down when there wasn't enough room.
My only option was to call and message friends to see if they or knew anyone who wanted a bunny.


13532_167415661990_505591990_3292026_4580464_n.jpg



Of course I wanted her to have a good home, so I made sure my friends older sister had the space, time and know-how to take care of her.
She has been living with my friends sister for over 6 months now, and I've been told she's doing great!


13532_167417771990_505591990_3292050_5965728_n.jpg



She was such a great girl when she was staying with me for those 3 weeks.
She loved having her butt rubbed and jumped on your lap for pets and kisses!
I had attempted to litter train her and she was a mess when I picked her up.
She had a lovely bath later that afternoon!


13532_167417761990_505591990_3292049_3291855_n.jpg



I kept her in a different room from Ruby.
Just in case she caught something that could be given to Ruby.
In the end she is a very lucky bunny!



Tina
:bunnybutt:

 
Wow! I'm really enjoying your stories! You are a great writer, with obviously awesome fuzzy inspirations :)

Looking forward to hearing more about your Canadian crew:Canada small:, fellow Canuck :D
 
Everyone is so cute!! I love your black and white kitty cat. Also I have two adorable little cockatiels who aren't scary :)
 

n505591990_1872102_1404.jpg



Hi again from the West End! Ruby reminds me of my harlequin min-rex, Dill.



100_2241-1.jpg



He was just a little 3-lb guy with mini-rex velvet fur, but the markings were similar. This is him.

I just got a little foster in today through the VRRA. :) His name is IHop, LOL! He probably hasn't been at the shelter, they're trying to fit him in, but I've got him here for a few weeks.

I'll be posting pics of him soon.

Looking forward to more of yours!

Hahaha I don't know about that!
Cockatiels scare me the most.
It's the feathers on the top on their heads that make me feel like they're angry at me!
Beautiful birds, but I'm just too scared to get close. Haha
Thanks for reading!


Autumn, have you lived in B.C.?
I don't know many Canuck fans outside of the province! Haha
Although for right now.. Go Philly Go!
I feel the need to argue that even though most of the Chicago's players are B.C. boys.. Byfuglin, or however you spell his name, is a bully and should have gotten the Black hawks kicked out in the first series!
:rant:


 
Hey Sas!

Their markings are very similar!
Dill is absolutely stunning and his fur looks so glossy and soft!

Wow so I might be meeting IHop! Haha What a great name!
I bet he knows how to make fantastic pancakes! Haha
What does this little man look like?
Pictures?!

Tina :bunnybutt:


 
I think it's safe to say I am addicted to this website.
I should be doing homework or going to bed, but I wanted to post some baby bunny pictures of Ruby!

n505591990_815797_7675.jpg



Needless to say, she can no longer fit in that litter box!


n505591990_815798_8722.jpg



This was the first day I had her. I think her coloring has gotten darker?


n505591990_815799_9877.jpg



I love her face in this picture!
We were exploring the couch and of course I had a couple of blankets over it in case she had an accident!

n505591990_815801_1809.jpg



Oh and she use to be so tiny!
This is back when I had a cage for her. (When she was small enough for a cage.)
That lasted about 2 months. Haha

So I think that does it for Ruby's baby pictures.
She has her own facebook account so feel free to have your buns add her as a friend if they'd like.
She has a video on there of her playing on the bed.
I'll try and find a way to link it to my RO blog.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original file anymore.

Anyways, more reason to get the camera out more often!
Goodnight rabbits and animals of RO!

Tina :bunnybutt:

 
Okay so here it is!
And from here your buns can add Ruby to facebook.


[ame=http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1018344740858]Ruby's video[/ame]

Now be warned.
This is the first video I've ever made so it's not the greatest, but enjoy!



Tina :bunnybutt:
 
I found my camera charger today!
And because it was so beautiful outside, Ruby had hours of fun!
But by the time the battery was charged, she was all binkied out.
Anyways, here are some shots from today!

This is her outside set up.

I have a cover on the top and it's actually 2 exercise pens put together.
I couldn't find play houses big enough for Ruby in pet stores.
So my moms boyfriend and I made the wooden red one for her!


31127_399453681990_505591990_4741678_7274251_n.jpg



31127_399453706990_505591990_4741682_3592383_n.jpg


This is her "dig box".

She's a real digger, so it's a life saver for the lawn!
It's just an extra large littler box with potting soil packed in.

31127_399453731990_505591990_4741687_2443816_n.jpg


This is her room after dinner.

Ruby can be a little messy with her hay at times, in case you haven't noticed!
It is in the laundry room, but she doesn't mind the noise.
She has plenty of things to hide in/under if she gets skiddish!


31127_399453896990_505591990_4741718_7604302_n.jpg



31127_399453841990_505591990_4741707_5777125_n.jpg


She came to say Hello! and share some bunny kisses.


31127_399453876990_505591990_4741714_5280041_n.jpg



31127_399453816990_505591990_4741702_1464462_n.jpg



31127_399453921990_505591990_4741723_7533748_n.jpg


She loves Milo!
Milo still doesn't know what to make of her and will occasionally give her a questionable tap with his paw.
He's a good boy and doesn't use his claws, but I'm always keeping watch just in case.


31127_399459111990_505591990_4742114_6629744_n.jpg


Abu got a little jealous that I was taking so many pictures of Ruby and Milo.
Because of Abu's aggressive nature, he isn't allowed in her room.
So here is a shot of my little old man cat just outside her room.
Enjoy the attention Abu!



So I think that about does it for today.
When I have more time, maybe I'll make another video.
Hopefully of some binkies!

Wishing tomorrow is another beautiful day for Ruby..

Tina :bunnybutt:

 
Oh my..just look at baby Ruby...so cute!..

And what a lucky girl Pepsi is..she's a beautiful bunny too..

Such a beautigul girl :inlove:

31127_399453521990_505591990_4741655_120057_n.jpg

 
It was another nice day out today!
To bad it was the lawn mowing guys were here today.. I forgot about them.
So to make up for it we chased each other around the house!
We also watched The Village.
Here are some silly moments of Ruby from today.

What a goof!
Is anyone else reminded of the original How The Grinch Stole Christmas, when they see rabbit feet like this?
Haha if you're not convinced, look at the Grinch's shoes next time you watch it!

Tina :bunnybutt:
 
Haha i just love that yawning picture..i have ever only been able to catch my Zak yawning on camera once..i have never been able to catch the others lol

And yeah she does look like she's smiling in that picture...she's so sweet..
 
Yes! I'm glad someone else notices the Grinch toes on rabbits!
My first day full day of volunteering is tomorrow!
I'm super excited to hang out with all the bunnies!
I got Ruby some more pineapple juice today.
She goes ape for it and grunts at me when I don't put it down right away!

On a more down note, I'm so angry that the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup! Grrr!
Byfuglin, you are nothing but a bully! :X
