Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybun! 

It's been an unnerving week around - again. Charlie and I went to the V.E.T. with our hoomins this past Thursday. The meat bag administered Charlie's sub-q fluids under the watchful eye of a bun nurse. Well, nobunny died, but Charlie hated my hoomin's guts for two days. He's gonna have to do better than that.

The good news is we're doing well otherwise. Eating, pooping, and all that stuff that lets hoomins sleep easy at night. You take the wins that you can.

We'll keep you posted!

BK

Eliza

Yes, hoomin, the first step is to admit you have a problem - you're slow with the bunnanas!

- Thank you, Susan!

PS:Eliza and her husbun, Alexander, are living their bun lives to the fullest and are doing well - eating, pooping, disapproving, and browbeating when necessary.

Liam and Lilly

Let's play hide and seek - you hide, and maybe we'll seek. If we feel like it.

PS: Yes,  Liam and Lilly are still looking for their forever home.

Have A Safe And Hoppy Memorial Day

Bun morning, Everybun!

It's shaping up to be a quiet day, and we're glad. For breakfast, we scored a blueberry each. That's because Charlie really dislikes the taste of Potassium Citrate. When she starts to nom the blueberry, my hoomin sneaks in both medications in her mouf, and she doesn't skip a beat. No fussin', no wrestling over the syringes. 

OK, we scored a couple of Sherwood treats as well. The tiny ones, shaped like hearts. That's a far cry from the assortment of the Oxbow ones we used to get. And don't even mention the greens. We'll bring the treats to our next appointment and show them to the doctor. 

My hoomin remembered last night that he got us a couple of forage boxes from Lilly's Bunny Treats at the last Bunefest. So, we're still working on one of them. 

I have a feeling that this adjustment is really harder for my hoomin than for us. Charlie is not skipping a beat - she's active, keeps eating hay like there's no tomorrow, and carries on as if nothing ever happened.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Gus and Charlie, from the archives.

Charlie and Gus, "No worries - we're gonna ferment that apple fruit water!"

Good evening, Everybun!

An update on Charlie's condition is a mixed bag. She's eating, drinking, and pooping - that's the good part. The v.e.t. took an x-ray, and it showed a heavy buildup of sludge. A sample of her urine went out to the lab for testing.

The next step for Charlie is getting 50 ml of sub-q fluid once a week and no more crunchy pellets or cookies. Or treats. Thump!

And my hoomin will be learning how to do the sub-q fluids. The meat sack that almost pegged out from a needle. He's gonna do Charlie's fluids. Ha! Well, next Thursday, we have an appointment at the v.e.t. so he can do the fluids under supervision. What an adventure, thump!

Of course, I won't get whatever Charlie won't get.

We managed to survive last night without the dinner salaaaad, and this morning without the cookie frenzy. But, hay, what can you do.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybun!

The long weekend is off to an unnerving start here. This morning, my hoomin discovered a few spots of what looked like dried blood on one of our loafers. And Charlie is the one that likes to use them the most. When she's not inside one of the bundos, she loves to loaf in any of the loafers everywhere. 

We're fortunate enough that buntie Susan let us use the appointment time she had scheduled for a couple of her guys. It's downright scary how the Universe works sometimes. 

The puzzling thing is that we're not showing any other signs of distress. We're eating, pooping, and peeing as expected. We went nuts over the morning cookies like we always do. Charlie is loafing tucks-out style, and our bottoms are clean. Oh yeah, we got our undercarriages inspected, alright.

So, the appointment is at half past noon today, and we're both going in. Hopefully, it will be nothing too serious, but you never know - we're ain't getting any younger, thump!

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Gus and Charlie - this will be painted ;-)

The Disapproving Fifers, color-study, final.

Good evening, Everybun!

It's been a quiet weekend. My hoomin got done with his sick day and was very disappointed. He mumbled something about liking to be just down for a day without doing much. Welp - why doncha just do that from time to time!?

Then there's the "color study." He took it to its forever home and now is all bummed out about being done with it. I sayz, "But for every 'finished piece,' you come up with two others that need to be painted! So, what gives!?" 

You see, that pic above of Charlie and me - it will get painted. And one only with Charlie, and Spressy is waiting his turn, and on and on. So, I sayz to him, "March down to the store for that golden lotto ticket, and you'll have all the days left plotted out." Then he whines about not being ready for "that" kinda commitment. 

OK, you haz a piece of canvas to stretch, so stretch it. When was the last time you saw a piece of canvas stretch itself, eh!?

Good night and good luck!

The Fifers, Gus, and Charlie

Hellos, Everybunny!

It's been a quiet week in the burrow. Everybunny's doing well. Our hoomin is undergoing  a planned "under  the weather outage," so we expect a ton of "pity cookies." See, when he's down for the count like that, dispensing treats for us makes him feel better. I sayz, "Oh, really!?" Have you seen my brass knuckles? I think I lost my bone saw, too, or did Spressy borrow it and "forgot" to return it?

The other good news is that the "Fifers" color study is done and will go to its forever home tomorrow. First thing this morning, we supervised the application of a protective clear coat over the piece. No, it's not varnish; this is something called an isolation medium. We'll put down another one this afternoon, and then - then we'll put down a coat of matte varnish.

I know, it's fascinating stuff, but guess what - the sorry sod tends to involuntarily dispense treats when at the easel. I sayz, "That piece needs about ten coats of this stuff and then the other stuff! And maybe you should start on a portrait of Charlie!?"

We'll keep you posted!

Snapper aka Gingersnap

Medicine, shmedicine - organic nannerinis are medicinal!

- Thank you, Susan!

PS: A couple of weeks ago, Snapper came down with an inner ear infection or EC. It's been a "Two hops forward - one hop back" type of recovery, but she's hanging in there and improving. It's nerve-wracking and exhausting on her and her hoomin. But the meds seem to be working, and Snapper is having a lot more "good moments," even though she tires quickly. Today, she has a follow-up with Dr. Teed at Keystone Animal Hospital in Bradenton, so here's to a great visit! And please keep the good vibes coming <3

Pancake

Make sure the catnip stogies are from proper Cuban catnip, not just Cuban seeds, OK!? Or you're not gonna like the outline again.

- Thank you, Renee and Brad!

PS: Thank you, Renee and Brad, for giving Pancake a chance.

Alexander

They got my paw - I got their heads.

- Thank you, Susan!

PS: Checking in with our fried Alexander. Alexander and his bunwife, Eliza, live the bunn life with buntie Susan. Alexander lost his right front paw when he was quite little. He adjusted very well since then. He climbs stairs, hops and zooms about, and disapproves just like any bunn. Of course, Alexander never gets mad.

Kisses

I'm gonna have that bunnana, or we're gonna have a word. Which one's better for you, eh!?

- Thank you, Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue and Erika!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

The rain finally got here! Yes, it's been raining a lot. And the cold front? "How about October or November?" said the cold front.
We'll settle for the clouds and the rain. 

My scribe declared that the morning cookie time is where it's at, and the only other time that comes close is the evening saaaaalad, cookies, and art time. And speaking of art time, the color study sat all week covered up with fabric we use for backgrounds. When we looked at the piece again today, we realized we're very close to being done. We need to add some highlights, clean up some rough spots, and add whiskers. Ya gotta have whiskers!

Goodnight and good luck!
- Gus

Charlie and Gus

Charlie, "Sometimes I just look better in black and white."

Come on cold front! On to the red circle!

Hellos, Everybunny!

I had a quick follow-up visit with Dr. Teed at the Keystone Animal Hospital last Tuesday. Dr. Teed performed my surgeries last August. We were mainly concerned about that thumping divit on my belleh where the incisions were. It's holding steady; no reason to be worried at this time.
Can you believe we're coming up on nine months since the first surgery!?

And that's all the "exciting" stuff we have to report. It's gray and cloudy; Bun willing, we'll get some rain. And if the Bun is really, really willing, that cold front will get here. But honestly, the Bun ain't that willing, if you get my drift.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

The day began promising enough at five in the morning. It rained during the night, and the skies were still gray and heavy with clouds at dawn. The cold front finally broke through and caught up with our bones. The bones knew this was coming since yesterday.

The biped looked at me funny. He was up on the wrong side of something once more but kept trying to do the right thing and handed me another half a cookie.

"The bamboo in the backyard is ready for you, Capitan. You can kick it if you want, but it will kick you back," I said.

"Have you any more cookies, Capitan? You may as well keep them coming. And don't bother the bamboo," I said. The biped didn't even mumble. I prefer those one-way conversations to the normal ones. There's never anything good coming back. He kept the cookies coming, and we continued to hang in the balance. I kept one eye on Charlie and the cookie bowl and one eye on the biped. Was he going catatonic on me again?

"You know, you do have a lot of blue in that piece. Maybe the camera is not lying to you?" I said, trying a different subject. The biped attempted to scratch the top of my nose, but I moved back just enough so his hand missed me by a whisker. He thinks he can paint, but I draw the lines. This was one of them, and he knew that. He knew that very well and served us another handful of crunchies in the bowl.

"Maybe you should warm up parts of it? Don't you call it 'the color study,' Capitan? Then warm it up, and we'll study it together. Just you and I. We'll sit in front of it and study it." I said.

My bones were ready for the daytime nap, and I started to shift with great impatience. I wanted to make sure there would be more treats on the other side once I got up. "Look at those skies, Capitan! Go on and warm up the piece, and we'll philosophy about it," I said.

Goodnight and good luck!

Hellos, Everybun!

Everybunny's doing well. We're eating, pooping, drinking really well - in other words, we're doing our job. My hoomin on the other paw - well, he's ready to crash, take a nap, and start the day over. I get it - I start my day over a few times every day.

Of course, we got ours, so, yeah, start the day over. I need to bunstruct a wicker basket and a cardboard bundo, and the pee-pads ain't gonna chew themselves, right?

Yes, I suppose there will be arting and stuff later. There better be - that's when we extort extra blueberries. And cookies.

We'll keep you posted!
