Getting Bigger...
Friday, July 6, 2007
It seems like I have had Carrots and Buggs for a long time now. I give them fresh clover in the morning and during the day, and before I go to bed. Just this morning when I was giving them their breakfast of clover, grass and dandelion leaves, I noticed how big Carrots has grown. He is bigger than Buggs now, and when I had first gotten him, he was smaller than Buggs.
Buggs is the tamer one and so I hold him more. I have started taking Carrots out of the cage and hold him for a few minutes then put him back to jump into their favourite corner. The corner they like most, and they spend a good deal of time in it, is on the right side of the cage in the back. I have a small cardboard box that I took apart on one side, so now it's a long, flat piece of cardboard. It was supposed to keep the hay and grass in, but it doesn't help much. They like sleeping on it, so its doing some good, I guess.
I like to sit and watch them eat after I give them their meals, and after they've eaten a little, I'd take one out and hold him for a bit. Buggs will sit for a while, then he'll get inquisitive about where he is. He runs along the side of cage where the door is, looking for a place to get out, I don't doubt. He goes behind the cardboard and hides. Right now, I can see him on his hind legs, looking over the cardboard and chewing on the side of the cage. Its so fun to watch them jump around and eat.
Buggs has really long ears, well, not super long ears, but a good size for his body. He is not as fat as Carrots, but his ears are wider and longer than Carrots. Carrots, now, is fatter and bigger than Buggs. I'm still not sure what s*x they are, I refer to them as "hims". I guess I'll find out when they are a bit older.
Coming soon: pictures! I'll take some of them and post them on here for you all to see how big Carrots has gotten, and Buggs of course!
Oh, and I have poison ivy on my right arm. I put calmine lotion on it everyday... so hopefully it'll go away!

I can't wait for pictures of your rabbits!!! Okay, I really can, but it's hard! :)
Some of my corn actually looks better! I have 2/3 of it standing up, or half-way up. Some of it is rather slanted, BUT that counts, right? Hehehe . . . .
You keep the green tomatoes to ripen, right? At the end of the year, my family used to make green tomatoe pickle relish - oh, so good! :)
Thanks for stopping by!

i get it too; and i read somewhere that you can cut a lemon or orange in half or quarters and rub it on the poison ivy and it will help it clear up faster. hope it gets well soon.

How fun that you have rabbits! My sister has two dutch lop mixes. They have such personalities, especially the boy. I think the word "fiesty" describes him perfectly. Both of them like to run around really fast and jump really high for no reason at all. It's funny to watch. :-)
