Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Bun morning, Everybun!

We're doing well, all things considered.
Charlie hit a rough spot on Thursday with blood detected in her urine spots. It was around ten at night, so there wasn't much we could have done aside from a dose of Metacam.

Our primary v.e.t. is closed on Fridays, and that always makes it a real twist and a kick in the gizzard for my biped.

But she improved substantially by that evening. She became more mobile and active in general. Metacam (an anti-inflammatory), with the regular evening meds, probably helped. 

We wrote up all the gory details in a text message for the v.e.t, called them first thing this morning, and we'll be seeing Dr. Zellner on M*nd*y.

Oh, "What about the rest of the week?" you ask!? We arted a few nights, OK!? The "other - other" rest of the week was just a slurry of expletives, so pick your favorites and consider yourself "informed." If you want, punch yourself in the gizzard a few times, and you've got the whole picture.

We'll keep you posted!

Rice and Roni

Yeah, so I had a welding accident. I was putting new spikes on my brass knuckles before going to the canteen to settle my tab. What happened to your leg, Roni?

I was repairing a surgical robot, and it glitched. Before I could turn it off, it sawed off my leg.

Yeah, that flight to Neptune was something else.

- Thank you, Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue and Erika!

P.S.:Rice and Roni are energetic and independent brothers. Roni had a rear leg removed. Rice has an eye injury. They are looking for a rabbit-savvy home only.  https://bhrabbitrescue.org/available-soon-rice-roni/

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Bun evening, Everybun!

Tucks out, loafing, not a care in the world today.

The biped's been down a peg all weekend after getting some preventative health maintenance done, and couldn't bug us as much as he would like to. Boo hoo!

We still arted last night, and all that, but when we disappeared, he just let us be. It's been very relaxing.

Unfortunately, he also put together why we've had such nice weather these past few days. Good grief, all that livingness getting deluged up north; right when we're about to start cheering a hurricane season that didn't season us for a change. Here, it's been two years since Hurricane Helene grazed us. Milton followed a week later :-(

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

P.S.: Equinox skies on Tuesday put on quite the show <3 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Charlie's "winnings" from the bladder expression.

The first cold front of the season!

Hellos, Everybun!

We're doing pretty well. Charlie's bladder expression went well - Dr. Zellner got a whole lot of crud out of Charlie. Better yet, Charlie did not seem too upset by it. By seven in the evening, she was out and noming hay from her hay bowl as if nothing ever happened. A lot of loafing "tucks out."

We did the evening meds late, and as gently as possible, all with extra, extra treats on top. We even got to art.

And now for something completely different. Friday morning, my hoomin stuck his nose outside, and there it was - the cold front. No, not a blizzard or anything fun like that, don't be silly - just nice, cool, dry air. How long has it been!?

Here's the strange thing - in the afternoon it felt like a warm, Spring day. It felt like Easter should be just around the corner, not Halloween. That's how this place gets you - it tries to confuse you until you can't tell what time it is or where you are. Next thing you know, the buzzards want to hang out with you. And that's if you didn't get swallowed by a sinkhole.

In the evening, Charlie became very active and couldn't get enough treats and cookies. She almost binkied.

This morning she was rearing to go - bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The morning fluids and meds went well, and she inhaled her sprig of mint with a raspberry and blueberry.

We can't stop thinking about how much building material came out of Charlie. It must have been a huge relief for her. So keep your paws crossed - we might be in for one of those good old days again.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Bun evening, Everybun!

Wait - can you believe it?
The days are about to get shorter than the nights. And there are no blobs in the Atlantic that we need to worry about!

And what does the meatsack do to celebrate? He sticks his uninvited head in the art room, and worries about Charlie not loafing to his liking. 

"Dur durr? Dur dur dur? Durr dud Metacam? Dur dur. Metacam."

They ended up wrestling, but Charlie got her and is snoozing, making tiny snoring noises.

Today's been a purely ad recharge day. We did fluids an hour late. The biped had to coffee to stay awake for that, but then just crashed. There comes a point when coffee only
stirs up crazy. And bun has to take a nappy break or else.

That said, we'll art tonight again.

Keep your paws crossed for our expression appointment tomorrow. Keep them good waves coming.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

P.S.: That little drawing of Charlie was purely an experiment with materials. We used a sheet of plastic 'paper' with a nice texture, but regular watercolors don't take well to it.
The pen for the linework took forever to dry and kept dissolving when mixed with water. Sometimes you try something new just to see what happens. And we're not complaining - there were cookies!

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Gus as "Ziggy Haydust"

Hellos, Everybun!

We're doing well. The biped pretends he's ready for the weekend, and we let him pretend - OK, we just ignore him. He got up in the middle of the night last night because he heard us bunstructing and took away our cardboard tunnel.

"Dur, ddddur dur durr. Dur. Dur dur! Dur! Duuuurrrr dur."

Like, what!? Those flopping lips are so confusing. Is that a thought seizure!? Oh, right, it's about our gizzards, maybe. He got spooked that we'll get stuffe with it, and nobunny on the planet would be able to plumb us clean of it.
 

But we did get a few fat, yammed apple sticks, so there's that.

So, we got nothing today. We're really stretching it. A nap, then another nap. Then arting in the evening, loafing while being stared at endlessly, treats, and such. A good old day in the making.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

It's been stormy and cloudy all day, and the giant flamethrower in the sky stayed out of sight.

Our biped also stayed out of sight as much as he could. Of course, hanging out with us and staying out of sight are somewhat mutually exclusive, but we need a weekend once in a while too. 

Don't worry, though - the afternoon is still young, and he'll do what he can to make up for this this evening.

All of his pencils and stuff are picked out and lined up.

And if all goes well, there won't be anything to report till next Saturday. Just keep your paws crossed for us and keep them good waves coming.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Bun morning, Everybun!

We’re doing pretty well. Tuesday’s visit to the v.e.t. went well; the expression wasn’t too terrible, and Charlie was in good spirits by the end of the day. Of course, we’re not talking proper “nannerini spirits.”

Thump!

The biped said something to Ruby, the Technician, about having difficulties gauging Charlie’s level of discomfort, and Dr. Learning came back with, Charlie has earned her right to daily Metacam doses.”

Thump!

That’s all good and dandy, but ya don’t wanna hear stuff like that! And we got a script for Gabapentin as an option, as needed.

Thuuuuuump!

But all that sounds about right for a M*nd*y, masquerading as a Tuesday.

So let me repeat: Charlie is doing well, and knock-on-wood, we didn’t need to resort to any extraordinary measures.

Today we just want to have a reset. Catch up on naps - loaf - art in the afternoon.

The sorry sod is trying to get his caboose rolling, so the afternoon is cleared for drawing - we didn’t do nearly enough of that last week.

We’ll keep you posted!

Hoppy Labour Day!

Hoppy Labour Day, again, Everybunny!

I think we're doing well. I say, "I think," because the biped started to worry this morning about Charlie hiding just a tiny, tiny, tiny touch too much. It's either that or the bounce is completely gone from his bungee. "Is Charlie having difficulties urinating again?" was the question. Of course, he does not yet know how to do anything near the bladder expression, so he put her in the hay bin; she got mad, peed all over his paw, and all is well for the moment. 

We are still in the "The V.E.T. is closed" phase of the "weekend blackout," and that is the toughest part about the long weekends like this. But tomorrow we'll see Dr. Learning, for the "usual," so keep those paws crossed and keep theme good waves coming.

We took a vote around the burrow and decided that no matter what, this is the best holiday of the year. You can do that, you know. You shred the calendar, use it as a bin filler, and make your own where you decide what's important. 

There's no pressure of any sort to do anything or be a certain way; there's no grain to go against, and however you want to go about this day is the right way.

So we got a little arting done, and the hoomin is now convinced that, yes, you better use the good paper if you're going to mess with water. But that's OK, we'll do more today, and we'll use the good stuff.

We'll keep you posted!
- Gus
