Bunny appt

The bunny is staying. My lesson in trimming did not go well. She is going to go back every 4 weeks for the trimming to be done the right way, while knocked out. I'm getting a very good deal on it so because the vet is a low cost clinic. She typically only does low cost spay and neuters, but loves rabbits so she's helping me out. I'm very grateful for that.
Today during the teaching lesson, the top tooth fractured to the gums. She is on pain meds now for 3 days and I have to monitor her eating to make sure it's not causing an infection. She will stop eating if it gets to that point. So far though, no change in eating. She inhaled her salad tonight. The rest of the teeth trimmed nice enough but I definitely do not trust myself doing it. And the weird part was, she was so good for it. So it is truly just one of those bad examples. At least the vet did it and it was not my fault.
So she is here to stay, and is just going to be a trip once per month for it to be done properly. She likes her pain meds too. Druggy rabbit.

They were in trouble

I was making supper, and between Kristopher and the dog, I kept tripping over something or someone. So, I finally got fed up and said, "Everyone OUT of the kitchen!!" This is what I find....

They look very guilty.
So tomorrow is the appt for the bunny. Kristopher had another meltdown tonight about how he hopes we can keep her. I really hope she will be calm and nice for this. I got in her cage to feed her tonight and she tried attacking my feet. Doesn't give me much hope. Either way, I'll update tomorrow sometime.

Recovering from the weekend

It's a rainy start to the week here and I'm slow at recovering from the weekend. Now that I have something to keep me busy M-F, I appreciate the weekends so much more. And they seem to go so much faster now as well. That is not fun. But anyway, it's a new week and I have to make the best of it.
We did not do a whole lot this weekend because of period drama. It was most definitely a real cycle, because that is the only time I have that kind of cramping and bleeding. I think it's ending now. I sure hope so. I'm going to track this one much better and try to see when it actually hits, if we are lucky enough to get a repeat working cycle.

Friday night we got little man his very first big kid bike. He had a little trike when he was 2, but mr long legs outgrew that very fast before he even learnt to use it. So then we moved here and it's too uneven for him to use a bike at home. Anyway, he has started to show an interest in wanting a bike, so we left him pick out one. We based it on his height and the chart at Target. Which he is 4 ft 1 inch. The chart said for that height, he needed a 16 inch. He had to have Cars. We get it home and Saturday took him to the park. Couldn't ride it. Mr Long Legs. He looked giant like on that bike. So I said we were going to Toysrus and we tried out some others. He got an 18 inch and can ride great. Returned the Cars bike and he was fine. By that point, the rain had started so he has yet to get the chance to really ride it yet, other than in toysrus bike department. Wednesday looks like it will be the next nice day to give it a try. I don't even have a picture of him on it yet! But he is so happy to have a bike and feels so special that he got it "just because".

So for the new week, we have 2 days of rain, so that means a lot of home time. Cleaning and laundry today, and who knows for tomorrow. Wednesday is going to be the vet appt to try to learn the bunny teeth trimming. Thursday and Friday are still unknown. I feel like I need a nap though today. Going to be a long day.

Well apparently

The herbs have kicked in! I started spotting earlier in the week, but it was only here and there at odd times. Nothing real, nothing to count as a start. Then yesterday afternoon the cramps kicked in and by evening it was truly here. Overnight I was awake a lot and in pain, and today is just as bad. I'm glad though that it is here! I had a 36 day cycle, without the need of provera and I am pretty sure something did happen because I had that prog. increase signs. Timing wise, I know we screwed up, but it's still ok. The herbs actually do work!
Now, the problem is if it's going to be this long for this round, if we do not get timing down perfectly had have success, I am going to be dealing with this right now during our vacation. We are taking our vacation early this year, and leaving May 2nd. I really hope that either I start early and am over this by then, or it can be late a week, or even better, I get pregnant. I'm at the point now though that I assume it's not going to happen and if it does, it will totally blow me away.
So today is day 2. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself with saying they work....

Nala says...

I'm staying!
After some long nights of thinking, I've decided I'm going to learn how to do this teeth thing. I didn't use to be able to do the doggy nails, and now I do it all, so if I can learn that, I can learn the teeth care too. And, no, she is not the typical bunny. She has a misaligned jaw, which is pretty severe. Rabbits teeth continuously grow, like fingernails/toenails. With a normal rabbit, they wear them down as they chew. With mine, hers do not wear as she chews, so they grow like crazy. The bottom teeth are huge grow straight up and are currently sticking out of her mouth while it's shut. And that change happened since the picture was taken yesterday. The top teeth curl to either side and go back into her mouth.
And since the spay, she is totally litter trained again. The next picture was taken before the spay. It's of her recently new cage. I promised to post pics about a month ago, but you know, a month goes by pretty fast. So here is her cage. And she is staying!!
