Crossed Over

Sadie "Dee Dee" Bunny, 1999/2000-September 23, 2011. I miss you very much, little friend.

Nom nom!

2 Things Challenge: Eyes/Hands

Eyes and hands:

Wise and disapproving Dee Dee Rabbit.

Sensitive Romeo Dog.

Last Sunday

Last Sunday, I visited the Colorado House Rabbit Society headquarters. You can see photos here, Dee Dee too. Romeo and I went and enjoyed the gorgeous, out of season, springlike weather. It's scary how unpredictable the weather is all over the planet and the rapid changes taking place. I was listening to NPR on the way to work this morning, thinking how it must be to live on Carrabas. The climate changes and the land recedes like a hairline on the head of the world.

Sadie's Facilities

Dee Dee does NOT approve of my taking pics of her private time. I have a feeling if she had a middle finger, we'd be seeing it in this photo.

Whiskers were ruffled in indignation.

But she does approve of multitasking.

Late Night

It was a fun filled Friday night of drinking and partying. We all got up late feeling less than our best. Even Dee Dee was kind of slumped over her food dish this morning.

I have recently become obsessed with Nick 'Takenobu' Ogawa and his marvelous mad cello playing skillz. I could listen to him all day. And today, I pretty much did.

In the Lagomorph's Lair

Maybe It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...

...but It's Always Bunny in Denver! I got Sadie a present. Do you think she likes it?







Dang, she's so cute and adorable, it's got to be fattening!

Bunny Bathhouse

Here is Sadie trying to take a bath in peace. Sorry for the angle. As you can see, she shot me some long disapproving stares for invading her privacy. Then she washed her face and went into what Shaun calls "loaf mode".

Snacking Lagomorph, Jealous Canine

The wee Dee, looking smug. And some alfalfa crumbs.



Romeo Dog, looking jealous & annoyed, and ready for his Milkbone cookie.

Out West Again

Dee Dee does NOT approve of me being gone so long. And little wonder, Shaun slacked in his bunny parent duties and didn't clean her litter pan. NOT ONCE while I was gone, poor bun. You can imagine what four weeks worth of bunny business smells like. And you can imagine the cold shoulder Shaun's getting right now. Grrr. So, her short temper is understandable.

Dee Dee: "Human!"


"Put down that silly camera...


...and get my breakfast."


"NOW!"

St. Paddy's Dinner and other news

Here is a bad pic of our yummy St. Paddy's dinner way back last month. I had fun making boxty for the first time and (ironically?) Shaun proposed that night. We polished off a 12 year old bottle of Jameson's to celebrate. The boxty were a lot like potato pancakes and went really well with the pork roast, baked apples, and cabbage. We had leftover boxty for breakfast. (Side note: I have since resumed my mostly vegetarian diet.)

We left Ohio on February 12 and arrived here on Valentine's Day around 8 p.m. It took a week for our things to arrive by the delivery truck. The whole process of unpacking TONS of boxes, organizing, rearranging and getting settled was stressful on us all and in that time, my camera remained unused. I regret it now, but I was homesick and a little apathetic. The most stressful time of all was probably that first week of sleeping on an air mattress with no other furniture or possessions here and living off takeout.


Shaun's car didn't get here until the end of the week either, so he borrowed mine. So the pets and I were here, with very little to do and no way to get around. Poor Romeo actually got sick, his digestive tract was really messed up for a while. Dee Dee took it all in stride, in fact, she was a real little trooper. After all the reading I did about the impact of stress on rabbits, I was scared that she would have health issues too after driving across the country in a pet carrier. But my bun is nothing if not a tough little cookie. That, and she's easily distracted with alfalfa treats and the occasional Cheerio.

Today's Forecast: Mostly bunny with a chance of pup!

FINALLY starting to feel settled here. We've been to Nederland, Rollinsville, and of course, Boulder and Denver. I have tons of pics and stories to share, so stay tuned!
