Office Work, Part Deux: Professional Mayhen

Remember the bitty bunny who fell out of the cage and was stolen by the cats? And then fell out again and wasn't stolen by the cats that time? and then got wedged in the 1x1 wire divider, with his head stuck in the neighboring doe's cage, and I had to cut the wire to get him out? And then got his head and one leg wedged in the 1x1 wire divider the next day, again stuck half into the neighboring doe's cage, and I had to cut the wire to get him out again? And he wasn't good at nursing so would never get any milk and I had to start holding Fancy the rabbit upside down on my lap for 15 minutes a day so he could get some milk?

Well, he turned 8 weeks old a few days ago. Here he is! His name is Zippity.

And of course, his two brothers.

He looks great! I had a Jersey Woolie baby bunny just like that - his early life was one calamity after another. I named him Lucky.

Other than his too big ears, I just love the little dude. He is nice and wide in the back. His momma had big ears, but lots of junk in her trunk.

I am bringing the whole trio of boys to the show this weekend so another breeder can look them over for me. I expect to be told to not use the doe again.....I actually was considering offering her to Bows, along with a baby boy....for her "pair" of bunnies. Fancy is so very reserved, she just sits in the back of the cage and doesn't cause any problems. If she doesn't think you are watching, she will play with her toys really gently. and you can pick her up and hold her and she is just very quiet. She deserves a good retirement home (she is only a year old) as I dont think I will breed her again.

and she makes LOTS of great poop for fertilizer! Healthy appetite, that one

Those Haboobs made the news way out here. I had no idea they looked like that.

Pretty impressive, huh? But I'd rather Haboobs than hail like last October. My Honda Oddity is pockmarked.

Oh, you should see this guy. Really. He looks like what I imagine Rip Van Winkle looked like when he woke up. Skeletal, long hair, long beard, kinda hunches over. Super nice guy but he smokes a lot of...uh...funny stuff and drinks a lot, so there are two versions of him - the one you see during the day at work and the one who calls and leaves drunk messages on our business answering machine on Saturday nights.

He's a trip.

I once had a carpet cleaner that would call and leave bizarre messages on the answering machine. Got rid of all the carpets and the home phone. Wonder who he's calling now.

We like droll. And we actually require quirky. That is, ifin y'all want to fit in.

That was an extreme method for stopping phone calls.
