Alright!
Ruby updated her privacy settings!
However, if it still doesn't work, please let me know.


While I'm here I might as well share about my day with the rabbits at VRRA!
It was pouring rain when I got there and we had to bring the morning bunnies inside.
I was soaked after that.
It was still pouring so we cleaned a few cages with the rabbits still inside.
When it finally cleared up, we got the afternoon bunnies outside for some exercise.

A new rabbit came in today too.
Her name is Alicia and she's unbelievably tiny!
I have no idea was breed she is, she has the body and face of a mini rex, but the fur isn't velvety.
She's all white with blue eyes, and she's a sweetheart!

I fell in love with a male lop named Hippy.
He's light in coloring and loves to have his head patted!
Ohh! I want him!
Better get Ruby on that spay train soon!

I had no idea that the woman running VRRA does the bonding.
So I can't wait to get Ruby there and see how it works with Hippy!
Ruby, I guess could be described as an alpha bunny, so I would need a bunny friend for her that's more laid back.
That's why I think Hippy might be perfect!
Such a chill rabbit.

I just hope my mom doesn't kill me!

Wow it feels like forever since I last posted!
I can't even remember a time I've been this busy.

Even though I can't seem to get a moments rest, I still find time to get Ruby outside for a couple of hours a day.
Today she was out for only an hour but I had to squeeze in a nap somewhere.
(Sorry Ruby!)

Last night, my grumpy old cat, Abu (the black and white one) started chasing and attacking his own tail.
I'm actually really worried about him.
He was all hisses and I couldn't get him to calm down.
He finally laid down by the back door looking really stiff.
He may be a grump, but he is still my kitty!

Right now Milo is going nuts.
I can hear him thumping around upstairs as he runs from room to room.
Goofy cat.
He's been acting odd too though, lately.
He seems to enjoy taunting Abu when he's on the other side of the sliding glass door.
Hiding behind the curtain and poking his head out, rolling around and stretching in front of him.
Meanwhile, Abu is hissing away through the glass at Milo because he wants in.
They have never really gotten along, but usually Abu is the bully, not Milo.

They also seem to be all "buddy buddy" when they're sleeping on the bed.
Being only inches away from each other.
Not something they use to do.
I guess it's because Abu is getting old and Milo can tell, and taking his revenge.

Oh and guess who just came to say Hello!
That's right. It's Ruby!
At night when the cats are upstairs, I like to leave her baby-gate open so she can come out and explore.
She's such a good girl and only has a couple of odd poops.
This is where he best binkies take place.

As for my busy schedule, it might not seem busy to others, but it just seems like there are a million and one things to do and not enough time to get it all done.
I'm going camping in Hope, B.C. this coming weekend with a whole group of people.
(My mom is looking after Ruby for me)
And on top of getting everything ready for that, I have school 4 days a week, a doctors appointment, the muffler for my car just crapped out, the homework, and old friends visiting.
Did I mention I'm not an annual camper? So it's not as easy for me as it would be for someone who goes camping a few times a year.
Oh and volunteering.
That's important to remember!
I also wanted to make my own reusable shopping bags which I did over the weekend.
They turned out pretty good!
All have bunnies on them, of course.

Anyways, I have school in the morning and I have to catch Ruby and put her to bed.
Ha!
Yeah IF I can catch her.
She's running like a bullet at the moment!

Goodnight Rabbits of RO!

Well again it's been a while since I've posted.
So here are some updates!
First off, I'm still super busy as can be.
I finally went on my camping trip with a bunch of friends and made friends with some new people.
We went to Hope, in the bush. (No showers, no toilets, no cell reception.)
The whole time I was missing Ruby, and worrying about her.
My mom was taking care of her, but I don't fully trust my mom with her! Haha
Everything was fine when I got home though.
I just stunk like no tomorrow and my car could really use a wash.

The day after I got back, I took Ruby to her new vet for her annual check up and to see if she has lost enough weight for her spay.
I'm happy to report that she is!
And her spay date is set for the 23rd of July!
The doctor was absolutely fantastic and told me ways to save money with her diet!
He's also a vegetarian, how great is that!
So now I'm growing my own mint garden in my backyard, as well I'm picking the long grass in the field by my house.
I'm slowly transitioning her from her current diet to this one.
Oh and did I mention, Ruby is perfectly healthy and has awesome teeth?!
I have to say I'm quite proud of my little girl!

I would've liked to put Ruby outside today, but the lawn mowing people are here today.
I'm assuming it's because Thursday is CANADA DAY!
What a riot that day will be.
Anyways, until next time.

Tina :bunnybutt:
 
Terrible news!
My baby Milo is sick! (My gray and white cat, aka the nice cat)
I don`t know how it happened but I had picked him up from lawn outside to have a cuddle with me on the couch.
Only he started crying in pain.
Not the usual "meow", but more like a whining OW!
Also this cat never hisses, except at raccoons, and he was hissing like crazy!
So to find the spot where it hurt, I petted him all over.
I found he was crying when I touched his lower belly and sides.
Immediately, I took him to the closest vet that was open on Sundays.
I found a nice one on Oak Street in Vancouver.
Anyways, the doctor checked him over and tried to expel some urine.
He couldn't get any to come out, so at first we thought there were crystals blocking his urethra.
Well we got x rays done and there weren't any crystals, but the doctor also noticed that he seems to have pain where his kidneys are and on his spine.
By the way, the vet got Milo to pee after we left.
We didn't notice any of this until late in the day so they kept him over night to keep watch on him and possible surgery in the morning.
In the morning, they are doing blood work and a urinalysis, to see where to go from there.
Already the vet put him on antibiotics, in case it's an infection, or after surgery he would need to be put on them anyways.
I don't know what to do without my little Milo.
I'm so use to him sleeping on the bed beside me, that I don't want to go to bed without him.
I know this is a rabbit forum, but Milo and Ruby are friends and I can tell already that she's missing him.
I've had this cat since I was 7 years old!
It's hard to imagine life without him.
However, we are hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst.

Tina :bunnybutt:
 
So this is sort of an update on Milo.
We got him home from the vet around 7:00pm the next day.
Apparently he's constipated.

What happened was, my mom changed their diet too fast and got this crappy cheap stuff when we ran out of their regular food.
So already that was causing some problems with Milo's bowels.
And because he was blocked, he wasn't drinking water.
It made him really dehydrated in this heat, so I'm glad I took him in as soon as I noticed something was up.

We found out that his kidneys are slowing down but everything else is looking great, aside from him being constipated.
The vet gave us some vet food which is meant to aid in kidney health and Abu is on it as well because he's pretty old too.

Anyways, the vet told us not to let Milo outside for a few days so we can see if he passes number two.
Of course, my mom didn't listen and let him out.
So now we have no idea if he's gone or not.

And then another problem.
He's been peeing a lot more than usual it seems.
I've been trying hard to keep him inside and when he is, he goes pee a lot.
A sign of diabetes maybe, I'm not too sure.

Either way I'm taking him back to vet this morning to get his bowels flushed and get this other thing checked out.
I'm assuming he hasn't gone poo yet considering he's still acting strange, like hiding under the bed, being very sedentary, and crying. (Not something he usually does.)
Anyways that's the update on Milo.

Ruby is getting spay in 8 sleeps!
Finally my little girl will be able to have a bunny friend and I can avoid higher chances of her getting ovarian cancer!
I just hope all goes well with her surgery.

As for the bunny bags, my camera is out of order at the moment so I don't have any pictures to show.
The bags were made with iron-on transparencies!
But they are something along these lines.

I have a thing for bunny butts and feet! Haha


Until the next update on Milo-

Tina :bunnybutt:
 
love the bags. lol. i loive BIG bunny feet on a little bunny...o and big bunny ears to big. something about the awkward giant bun stage i just LOVE.

and good luck with the spay, im sure everything will go just fine :)
 
Ruby passed away peacefully in her sleep today.
The vet was just sewing her up after her spay when he her heart stopped beating.
They could not revive her.
There was mass amount of liver fat covering her organs.
A condition, the vet said, she's probably had since she was a baby, but never really took effect until now.
She is being cremated and will be back at home in about 3 weeks.

In the meantime, the boyfriend that I wanted to get for Ruby came home with me today.
I just can't imagine life without a rabbit anymore.
As sad as I am about Ruby's passing, I know she is waiting for me over the rainbow bridge.
I'll be seeing you Ruby:cry1:
 
i am so sorry...its so sad that you lost her and you had all that fear built up from her spay.

She will be missed, such a pretty little bunny.
