Well Mr. Bunny died overnight. :( He just wouldn't eat or drink and I didn't know what else to do. I got up in the middle of the night and tried to force feed him because I was so worried about him. I couldn't sleep. This morning when I went back out to check on him he was dead. Such a sad day.
On other notes, the other bunnies all seem to be healthy and in great spirits. I don't think I mentioned it earlier but I have a cat in a cage too. I know that sounds horrible, but she is happier in the cage then I think she has ever been. Someone dumped her on our property a few weeks ago and I have been trying to feed her and take care of her, but my other cat-Bucko- hates I mean HATES other cats and tries to kill them. I guess it is the Siameese in him, I don't know. Well the little kitty had been hiding out in the chicken coop for the past 3-4 days and wouldn't come out. Yesterday afternoon I caught her in a nest box asleep. So I scooped her up and took out to the bunny cages. I have 2 empty cages and put her in the bottom one. I put some nice dry hay in her cage and gave her some food and water. She snuggled down in the hay and slept nearly all day. This morning I held her awhile and she purred like crazy. I think she feels safe for once in her life. I have been trying to find a new home for her, but no one needs another cat, and I really don't want to keep her in a cage forever. I will keep trying. When I set her down this morning I opened her cage door and she walked in on her own. She then ate some food and snuggled down in her hay bed. I am happy that she is happy, but I still don't feel that it is right to keep her in a cage, but what else can I do? Bucko is an indoor/outdoor kitty and has been with us since I was pregnant with Cooper. We can't get rid of him. I want to keep them both, but I don't know if they will ever get along. I am hoping that Bucko will get used to her with her in the cage and eventually they will get along *fingerscrossed* :)
It is thunderstorming here this morning and the fire went out over night--it is 42 degrees right now. brrr. So most of our wood is wet. I have been trying to start a fire all morning, but the wind is coming in from the south so I don't have much draw on the fire. AND I really need to go to town and get milk for the kids. (I made chocolate chip cookies last night and Chris drank 2 glasses) I have fresh milk in the fridge but Chris doesn't think the kids should have fresh milk. (I don't think a little would hurt them since we cook with it and I drink it occasionally but he is more anal about things like that than I am-it is funny. But then again I am more anal about other things. PARENTS! HA!)
Cooper has been trying to write his name. He has the C and the O's down, but that is as far as he has gotten. He drew me a bunny yesterday and it actually looked like a bunny- I was impressed. The funny thing is he won't use a regular pencil...he uses a carpenter's pencil that he saw Daddy using in the shop. lol.
