Expect the unexpected

I took in 4 bunnies last Monday. Well, they were supposed to have been separate from the one male 'for a long time' . One of the females had 5 babies on Saturday morning. She is a lion head and the daddy is a dutch. Apparently 'a long time' is 3 weeks. One baby was a deformed peanut, one was eaten, and I am hand raising 3, one is missing an ear and its tail. Oddly enough, the half eaten one is doing the best as far as eating enough and is a real go getter. I know my odds are not good to raise these guys successfully, but I am willing to try my hardest and have researched the crap out of the subject. I cant find goats milk, making do with nutrical and KMR. Feeding 2 times a day and a few drops of water here and there between feedings. Making sure they potty after being fed. So far, so good. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Getting the boys play area cleaned up. The upstairs looked like we needed disaster relief to step in. I am exhausted, having done most of the work. Develin wants a friend over for his birthday. No clean, no friend. I am helping him clean it up, but every two seconds he is playing with something he picked up and I am nearly hoarse from threatening him. Grrrr. Emery has been an angel until I try to get a minute of 'me' time. As soon as I got on here (not really complete me time, as I am also making supper) he comes in and starts screaming at me. Crappy diaper, I guess he waited until I put a fresh one on him to poop. Brandon just got home and is changing it while I finish up here. Will try to get on here in the next few days for a bunny update and to chat about garden plans.

By the way, I love google. I couldnt live without it. Better go, Emery is mad....
