@ wabbitdad- thanks ! it has been hard to focus in class lately with the heat, but i'm doing my best. we're going through some tough material lately though, so i have to pull double-time studying. fuan-chan is doing great, her unchi have returned completely to normal and she's pooping up a storm to make up for lost time.
@helen- i had no idea there was a yoshinoya in NY ! gyudon is amazing...i don't know if i could live without it ! our favorite place is sukiya because they have a bunch of toppings that you can choose, and they don't cost any extra.

well it's official, i bought my plane ticket to go to the US in the fall for 9 days. i'm so excited ! i haven't been home in a year, and by the time september rolls around it will be a year and a half at least. i can't wait to get fat on mexican food and my mother's cooking. i can also pick up a lot of bunny toys (like those rainbow-colored geometric wooden balls i always see around the forum). they don't really sell bunny 'toys' here, mostly just wooden items designed to be chewed on. but then again, in japan, bunnies aren't really 'played' with, so it makes sense. but it could also be a location thing, there are much bigger kojimas than the one i go to (but none are really convenient to go to). my suitcase will be one third stuff for me, and two thirds bunny stuff when i come back home haha. spoiled little things.
i have a post i am dying to make but i'm waiting on my friend to send me pictures, so you will all have to wait with me
hopefully i can get them from her in the next couple days once her finals are over.

tonight i took apart fuan-chan's cage and cordoned off part of my house so shushu could run around for a bit. lately because fuan-chan has been in her face, shushu has been on a pee rampage and i'm really sick of cleaning it up. she never, never pees when i let her out, but because fuan-chan is in her line of sight constantly now that she's moved down from the closet shelf, i think she's really upset. it's terribly mendoukusai (troublesome) to have to move the cage around but i can't NOT give shushu run time, and at least the cage is made of panels and moves easily. i love having a bunny out next to me all the time, but i really can't wait until i can put the cage back in my closet and get half my house back.
fuan-chan gets to be on my side of the barrier because shushu needs to be where her cage (litterbox) is, and fuan-chan has stellar litter habits and i can easily move her toilet around and she'll use it wherever. she was being extra cute tonight, so i got some pictures. most of them i had to use my phone camera's night mode function because it is really dark in my house even with the light on. (note to self: buy curtains this year)
she randomly came up while i was on my laptop and wedged herself in between my thigh and the barrier and melted out for some petting. (there was literally maybe two or three inches of space there) it was definitely an 'awe' moment. the second picture was after she'd hopped up and run around some more, then came back and flopped by my feet.
she's looking rather scruffy with all the shedding. the second picture is just me being a goof. i play with my buns' ears all the time...i mean how can you not ? haha
lumpy head-chan.
oh and just for fun (and because this post isn't long enough yet) some gentei curry my friend and i had at one of our favorite restaurants. it was so delicious.
