Different strokes for different folks. Kudos for repurposing a baby toy.

Thanks, the way she was pulling I was afraid she injure her teeth. I didn't want her to make em crooked so she couldn't grind them, i really wanna stave off trimming teeth for as long a possible.

Your dog is gorgeous. So is his heartworm treatment all done? Is he in the clear?

And lovely rabbits. Especially that white buck. I can't wait to see pictures of babies.

Yes his treatment is completely done now and recieved a clean bill. They gave me a 6mo sample of heartgaurd and said I have to keep him on it religiously now. I know he's feeling better bc he's way more active again and gained his weight back. I love my ace. His eyes win me over every time. I also appreciate when I'm stressed I ain't gotta say nothing he'll walk over and put his head under my hand. He also does this when we're out walking (either n yard or park/fair) like he's just checking in with me. And he also 'hugs' me. He'll headbump my leg (or shoulder if I'm sitting) with all his weight and I'll pet his head and he'll angle his head to where his neck is got all his weight on me and he puts his one paw up on me. Sometimes he'll just walk up and put a paw across my knee. He's super sweet to me. And super patient with any kids.
Hard to believe he was ever littler than my 8lb Yorkie those yrs ago..Now he's a big ol' 95lb giant. When I sit down on ground and he sits beside me he's taller than me.

Lord I knew I'd love to have warm weather sooner but January is a bit much. Every one in town is staying sick bc of the hot and then freezing back to hot. I'm glad I stay at home.
Took back the new j-feeders we got at tsc. Them thanks are crappy. The lip that's designed to hold them in a bit is too much and the bottom trough area is angled too much that if they eat it all the way it just sits there unable to refill bc the weight at that angle keeps it in..Got some like my older styled ones at the co-op since they finally restocked. Met one of the older workers today who also ask keeps rabbits and told us about a cage building company who the co-op will use to order ready cut kits if we ever wanted to redo our homemade one. (It stacks, has trays, and guards in it too for about same price as us making it so seemed reasonable.) Told the husband if anyone offered to buy us a rabbit Wed charge lil bit for our old cage and feeder to upgrade later lol
Ran into an uncle who wanted to know how our rabbits coming along..Turns out he's getting chickens and he said he'd like to buy some rabbit off us once we get some up enough to spare. Added "if that's OK with y'all" lol I'm over here like let's just trade instead of pay.
So one uncle who with chickens, another with cattle, we doing good in having supply from reliable sources lol
Oh and tomorrow is time to start putting the nesting boxes in..Hopefully we'll have babies and not fake pregnancies.

Well I went to cut a rabbits nails...My bil was holding her real good. She never caught, we did the lay her on back thing with a towel. Wouldn't you know, the last nail I get too and I get directionally challenged and cut her nail n the quick. I freak out and wrap the towel around her toe to hold pressure. It's not stopping..Go inside & grab the powder a vet gave us for our dog (it's for wounds and inflamed skin on cats, dogs & horses) pour as much as I can on and the third application it stops the bleeding. We leave her held on her back for a while letting gravity try to help, she's totally chill the whole time-never fighting. hoping she doesn't mess with it or it get infected..She's laying down kinda stretched out, in a relaxed position. Checked on her again and she's still same spot but dozing off. I'm sooo mad at myself. I always have moments where I'm directionally challenged and ends badly. Like I can't even put shoes in a box bc my brain can't figure out to turn them to work..And like I get blue and yellow mixed up. My brain knows blue is blue and yellow is yellow when I paint but if I tell someone out loud blue I get it wrong and say yellow.. Or if someone says bring them a yellow something I'll end up looking for blue one..
Do rabbit heal easily or fast if they cut in the quick? Her cage also isn't one of the new ones we built so I'm worried of infection. Husband thinks overly worried...

I don't own rabbits, but have cut the quick on several of my dog's nails a number of times in the past. IMHO, I agree with husband. Relax, this is normally not a death sentence. Your rabbit will bleed, and sometimes depending on how deep you cut, it could seem like an awful lot. If you put an antiseptic powder on the cut quick, she should be just fine. I'd guess she'll heal up pretty fast over the next week or so.

Well all this 68-73 weather means we got to work on the shed some more.
I appreciate that my husband has all the second hours to work but it slows down so many things he wants to do for the house. I wish I had the upper body strength to help him but I don't. Atleast I can pick up and move the cages around should I ever need too.
I love watching the rabbits. How they move and whatnot. Like it seriously makes me want one indoors so I ain't gotta lug all the kids stuff in&out so that they are content in both locations..It'd never happen but I keep thinking about it.
I think two of my rabbits had false pregnancy bc they aren't as fat like they were..Should it not be real I plan to breed them with my male NZ..
Here's a laughable photo of rabbit mid yawn..See they don't look as fat as they were getting before
