Merry Christmas Comment Graphics..

Jus' a reminder:  If any uv our furiends parents iz thinkin' about adopting -- a new or another bun (or dog or cat or even a horse or other farm critter)  -- di Cwismas is a perfeck time.  Di year has been 'speshully hard fer lotsa peeps an' so many animals is bein given up to shelters or dumped cuz der peeps jus' cannot cope.  A hard year fer hoomins means a hard year fer their critters. 

If u cannot adopt, consider donatin' a little money or time to a local shelter or rescue.  Mom sez it'z a 'normously fulfilling experience. Most uv us Plan B Bunneez can second dat; widout u hoomins ta help, sum uv our lives wouldha been pretty awful.

Thanks fer all u peeps do fer us all year!

Our mom is planning an outreach of sorts with a local rescue. The point? To connect with the next generation of bunny "parents" -- KIDS!

We know that most rescue efforts don't try to involve kids -- they might injure us or neglect us -- but who is going to teach them if you don't? Who will make homes for adoption bunnies in the future if kids don't learn to open their hearts and take responsibility? Listen, kids influence their parents and their peers. Let's give them the information they need to make compelling arguments on our behalf.

It takes just one voice to get things started. Won't you help to speak for us?

We iz SOOOOOOOOO happy ta be home.  Mom had ta feed at Bunny Luv last night an' we all got together an' looked as pitiful as we cud an' Mom let us come home!!

Now, we haz a specshul, tiny, cramped... er, uh, cozy lil pen out in da dining/living room where we iz subjeckt'd to dat noisy tv box...oops, where we can hear all da news first-hand.  Harvey is still bein' a butthead to Jellybean; luckily big sis, Cinder, dominatrix of all she surveys, runs him around just ta keep him in line.

Webster iz still holdin' out fer his own, individual girlfriend.  HE gets to live in da bunny room agin.   NOT FAIR!... Oops, uh, hey, we dint need him anyway.

If we does okay, we dont haz to go back to camp.  Yippee!! An' we weally did miss Mom an' Dad (wink, wink).

See our picshur icon -- dat movie thingee?? Well, life looks a lot like dat right now.  Hard ta know which uv us is gonna go postal next.

We iz thinkin' dat our folks HATE us -- we iz still at "bunny camp" (aka bunny hell) twyin' to meet Mom's expectashuns uv us as a "happy herd."

OK, so itz not dat bad but we wud weally like to come home.  Webster is makin' t'ings VEWY difficult -- he hates all uv us.  We heard one uv da peeps up front talkin' to Mom today.  She's gonna pick up Webbie so he dont get depressed.

Hey, wat abowt da rest uv us??? ***THUMP***

November of 2007, I became a Bridge Bunny.  I wasn’t really ready to go -- I had lots of guard duty left to do.  But I had a history of tummy problems; bein’ a dwarf bunny had some built-in hazards, like a not-very-efficient digestive tract.

Most bunnies with stomach upsets -- not eating (not even our favorite stuff), not pooping, not drinking -- have a condition called GI stasis.  That’s when the gut (stomach & intestines) slow down and begin to shut down.  Our temperature drops from the normal 101-102, we don’t want to move around because we HURT, and we can’t help ourselves.  Many of us die from GI stasis --FOR NO GOOD REASON.  Our peeps simply don’t know to act or wait too long!

Sometimes, it’s from bad diet.  We need lots and lots of hay, only a few pellets, and a nice helping of greens everyday.  We need clean water, all the time. It’s also possible for us to swallow too much hair when we groom, esp. during shedding season (heads up, that would be NOW).  We swallow hair, don’t eat enough hay, don’t drink when we should, and next thing ya know -- GI slowdown or stasis.

Hoomins!! Listen up!! It’s your job, your responsibility to us to watch and act.

-- I-M-M-E-D-I-A-T-E-L-Y --.

When we don’t look right, don’t come outta our condo, don’t want that slice of banana (yeah, that DOES happen), you hoomins need to RUSH into action.  A bunny can die or have to be PTS in as little as TWELVE HOURS if you don’t act.  Would you rather pay a vet bill for an x-ray, fluids, and pain meds? Or pay for our tiny, pitiful little cremation?   NEVER wait to take us to the vet for help -- we don’t have the time.  When our mom sees peeps post dat bunny hasn’t pooped fer a couple uv days, she just goes NUTS.  DO NOT WAIT!

Pleeze, pleeze!! Check your bunnies several times a day.  If they are shedding, groom that dangerous hair off of them.  Make sure they have poops in the litter box, and that those poops aren’t strung together like a little nasty necklace by all that hair.  Keep their water clean and fresh.  Feed wet veggies daily and LOTSA, LOTSA hay ta keep things moving.

These are simple things to keep your bunny with you for a LONG time.

Harley, Former Sentry Bunny fer Plan B

Mom an’ Dad iz goin’ on vacation so us 7 resident buns is goin’ to "Bunny Camp" at Bunny Luv (u can see dey is a rescue fwend).  We r gittin’ "bonded"  -- Mom wants us to all get along so she’s havin’ da Bunny Luv’rs introduce all uv us.  She sez it’z gonna be hard at first but it’ll be more fun fer us ta have lotsa close fwends.

R we bein’ duped? or wat?

Mom sez we can post updates.  Jus’ hope dis dozn’t wind up lookin like our icon movie....

Revlon, Plan B scribe

Just so you know....(thanks to Jade & Naomi for this info):

We have had a weird week here at da ranch.  One uv our "brother" bunnies, Harley, died in our mom's arms last Saturday.  He developed GI bloat -- it's very bad an' a very fast killer.  Da ER vet could only help a little an' Harley didn't make it to our reg'lar vet.   We miss him very much -- we have no guard bunny now an' are a bit uneasy wid'out him.

Then, Dad's father died on Sunday after bein' very sick.  Dad is sad an' harried -- his mom is not too well either an' ev'ry-bun here is  worried about how to take care uv her.

Den, Mom got her wallet stolen on Monday.  So, you can see it's been some sort of week.

BUT, we are still thankful for all we have an' da love uv our Mom an' Dad an' Aunt Joan an' all our fwends.  So, happy Thanksgiving to all uv you!!
