Friday F...

I am starting to question if I am doing this theme-trial week the right way. Rather than presenting you with one theme each day, should I have given you options to vote on? Like today, I could have given you options like 'The Friday Feets', or 'The Friday Fail, or 'The Friday Floof', each with it's own pic, and see which theme you like the most? Hmmm...

Well anyway, despite these thoughts, today I decided to have The Friday Floof anyway. BC's wifebun Montana is poorly - she is losing weight and has a lump in her jaw - so she needs your healing vibes. Everybunny please cross your paws and wish her good health. She is seeing the vet, I will let you know how it goes.

It's Fursday today right? That's lucky, 'cos foster bun Anouska just did this:

Wednesday Whisky Update

Whisky has been a bit miserable at times this week. We are waiting for a little more healing to happen so his latest (surgery-related) scab will fall off, but in the meantime he is having the area carefully cleaned daily to reduce the chance of bacteria getting in. He does NOT like his ear being touched, and this might be a bad sign, but the vet had a good feel and look at it on Friday and couldn't find any obvious problems. At the moment I am hoping the flinching and bracing himself whenever I go near it is just an instinctive response left over from before when it really did hurt. Either way, I'm back on Whisky's "approach with caution" list, so that's always fun. [sigh]

If he can't see me to glare at he is racing around in his regular fashion, his weight is also back to normal and his appetite is unstoppable. So despite his current feelings towards me, I still occasionally get attacked when he decides I should be giving him one of those oh-so-important between-meal snacks he thinks he is owed for some reason. So not all bad news!

When the scab finally comes off, then we will have to go back to the vets to see how things have settled/healed and where we go from here.

Well that was your Wednesday Whisky Update - don't forget to let us know which of these new trial themes you like, though I have a feeling this particular one won't become a regular even if we want it to...

"Wednesday?! But I thought I had another four days to think of new ways to mock you for the entertainment of the intehwebs??!!"

The Tuesday Tail

The Monday...

I've been a bit slack on the blog recently and have decided to give myself a bit of a kick up the butt. One of the ideas I had (about 2 years ago, but hey, better late than never) was to introduce themed days. Sure, in recent months we've had "Whisky Sundays" and "No Caption Fridays", but really I think if we try harder we can come up with something better. And by "better" I of course mean "the same old stuff, but with snappier, more alliterative titles".

All this week I am going to try out different ideas for themes and your job, dear reader, is to let me know which ones you like. Depending on popularity and the availability of appropriate pics, we might see some of them stick.

With that in mind let's start with trial theme 1: "The Monday Mouth". And here to kick us off is our friend Archimedes - because who wouldn't want to give this fluffball full-on, mouth-on-mouth smoochies?! (Well, me for a start...)

Whisky's Weekend Wipe

I did a supply run for home yesterday:- we now have enough hay and pellets to keep little mouths occupied for a few weeks. I also picked up some dried herby goodness to mix in with the hay to make it more interesting and encourage foraging, especially for my foster bunnies.

The herb snacks are great, but today Whisky reminded me of one of the key rules of rabbits - no matter how much they climb on you and pester you while you're trying to watch Saturday night TV, and regardless of how healthy the snacks are, never let your bunnies convince you they should have a plateful of something new. New foods need to be introduced gradually because failure to do so can result in upset digestion and a joyful morning of bottom cleaning.

I think Whisky knew what was coming before I did, since he was mysteriously keeping out of my way first thing. But I am sure, despite what the post-clearup glares I'm getting might tell you, he's happier now that his floor and fur are sticky-poo-free.

"Gradually? So if you gave me more of my regular treats it would balance out?"

Nice try little one, nice try.

Fly Hard

However much space bunnies have in their enclosures, let them out into a wide open grassy space and they really make the most of it!
