Talking big bunny or house?77Herford said:
House, never heard of a Flemish Flop. If it's like a Cape Cod, it's my type of house. Small, kitchen, bathroom, and place to lay your head. That's about all DH and I need.
Bunny, they are cute. Flemish and English Lop. Big bunny with floppy ears.

HEEELLLLOOOOOOOOO...................back Redtail. Sorry haven't posted on my journal for some time, but things have been a bit tense here.
With work and it's office politics, and a anniversary we both are learning unfortunately to deal with, it's been tough.
Regarding the office politics, I have to say, my gender is the worse with this. I have never been "thrown under the bus" or "stabbed in the back" for others mistakes so much than with this crowd. All I want to do is go to work, do my job, collect my paycheck and go home to DH. You can have this office politics. Don't want anything to do with it. All came to a head this week and almost walked out (after talking to DH about it). Absolutely wasted time trying to constantly defend yourself. It's a job, not many jobs out there now and you have to kind of "eat crow" sometimes, but when you are being attacked for no reason other than someone trying to save their own job due to their incompetency, it just gets to you. But DH and I discussed it, and basically got the attitude of, "If you don't like what I'm doing, than fire me, but you better have a very SOUND reason to." The attitude has helped. They got the message and backed off, for a while. But with this crowd, it will all come to a head again. That's the sad part about it. Hoping the economy comes back a bit in New Jersey so that I can start looking again. Maybe even find a small farm to work on. That's what I like about animals. No office politics.
The anniversary that we have to deal with: October 8th was our Son's Leukemia came back. I think that was worse than finding out he had Leukemia. When a child goes in remission, it's like you are on eggshells waiting for that shoe to drop. You know it can return at any time. And with leukemia, when it comes back, it comes back 10 fold in a very nasty way. When your child looks at you, and says "Why me?", it rips your world apart because you have no answers and as a parent you can't fix this boo boo. No matter how much you pray and plead or even say "Take me".
We are dealing with it. Thanks to our solid bond, we are able to talk and get through these hard anniversary and people BS. And I have to thank this Community forum also. You have no idea what coming on this site, reading the comments, talking to people here, laughing at the antics has done for me and mine. And knowing that I am missed if not posting on this journal was the best "pick me up". Thanks.
The bunnies have been a big help with cheering us up. The weather break has got them ornery. They have become very comfortable outside their crate and have had a blast stretching their legs and learning how fast they can run. The last few days I've had a Black and Brown darts in my living room. Boy can they move. And the antics with the binkies has made us laugh so hard tears are in our eyes. Jake is so good with them. They are even comfortable around him. Greeting him when them come out by going up and touching noses. It's amazing to see this dog, that was trained to be mean in his earlier life, gently touch noses with these small creatures and also give them a small lick as well. Bunnies don't mind that either. Very proud of my Bunny LGD.
Just a glitch in the road. We are back on our "Livestock Adventure". Thanks Redtailgal for the shout out!

Sorry to hear about the work situation. Brush'em off. Just do your job, do it as best you can, and brush the idiots right off, they dont matter. Unless being everyone's friend was in your job description, which I seriously doubt! lol. This is an easy philosophy for me, because I dont generally care if someone is mad at me (unless they are friend or family). It's harder for others sometimes. The last place I worked was like you described, I was constanly thrown under the bus. I was a supervisor for a nursing home in the area, and you'd think that people in that profession would have some level of decency. Yeah, not so much.
October must be a rough month for you. I've never had to go thru that, thank God. Could you make a new tradition on Oct 8? Something that you could look forward to, some way of celebrating your son's life instead of having this day be about the beginning of the end? Perhaps pack a picnic with his favorite foods, and you and hubby have a nice picnic at his favorite local park or something. Just something to take some of the horridness out of the day, to give you happy memories on a day filled with unpleasant painful ones.
Have you posted pics of your Jake?
hang in there!

Hi! 
My friend's family does a simple family balloon release every year on key anniversary days of her late husbands cancer battle. He died from stomach cancer at the age of 36, when their youngest daughter was just 2 months old. To help the youngest get to know more about her dad, they go to special places he liked and each release a balloon. It helps them keep his memory alive and it has turned out to be a fun day for the kids, because they get to see a place their dad liked. I always thought it was a great idea. Hugs to you on the hard anniversary coming up.

Work place politics suck. I had similar issues with the last job I worked. I walked out. I was lead on planning a 100 man charity golf outing 2 weeks out....a 500 man awards banquet a month out. Things came to a head and I decided it wasn't worth it. What is worth it...my family, my life, my health and my sanity...I'll take a farm full of animals over that type of bs any day.
When my dad passed of leukemia we decided that we wouldn't grieve any of it...we would honor him instead. I KNOW that is easier said than done and I'm not saying that we didn't cry because we certainly did - but there was a whole lot of laughter there too. One thing my dad said before he went was that he wanted a "steak and a beer" (he was on a feeding tube and not allowed to eat)...but the funny part of that was he didn't drink beer and he didn't like steak. But instead of a service we had a family picnic where we served steak and toasted his life with a beer. At that picnic we asked everyone to bring a favorite plant and started a memorial garden for him on the property. That was a little over 2 years ago and that garden has grown - a lot. It's a joy to see him living through that garden.
I pray you are able to find a tradition that brings out the joy of your son instead of the sadness of his illness. Maybe the 8th would be a good day to take another step on your livestock adventure.
My best to you and your DH.
