A Mother’s Journal

Dear Readers,

I thought you might want an animal update, and if you don’t, well, would you like a cup of tea?

First of all, the bun buns.  Inquiring minds want to know, does Coco have two ears or just one.  I know the picture in my sidebar is misleading.  Coco asked me to put that picture of her up there so that people would feel sorry for her and ask questions.  She is just an attenion hog, I tell you. 

Actually Coco has two very fine, very large ears. She is just fond of laying one of them straight back. She especially did this when she was little. I don’t know, maybe she’s just camera shy. As you can see, her babies, Midnight and Boomerang, are getting quite big!  It has been very cold lately, down into the 20s at night.  The bunnies have been given extra bedding and we have to check their water frequently to thaw it.

Enter kitty kitty, or Elijah as some of the neighborhood kids call him.  Her.   Him.  Uh, I am just not sure about this cat.  Actually, it is a tom cat, but he is so sweet, I sometimes say she.  He loves to come around when we feed the bunnies.  He actually jumped into the cage with the bunnies one morning when we had the door open and no one panicked.  The bun buns seemed fine with it.  I guess they know a docile cat when they see one.

Now, how about that Oreo?  Doesn’t she look great?  She’s staying totally inside right now, but we carried her out to get a picture in some natural light, without the flash.  Her head is healing well and her eye looks fantastic.  There is even some light fuzz growing over her eyelid.

Here is an inside picture of Oreo looking like she looks most of the time right now.  Her tongue sticks out most of the time, but she yawned really big the other day (actually huge) and I saw the wire runing across the inside of her mandible and under her tongue, so I’m thinking she may keep her tongue in her mouth again once the wire is out in a few more weeks.

Princess of the Universe and Oreo both with their tongues out.  I don’t know.  It’s kind of cute on Oreo, don’t you think?  She just needs to quit drooling on my furniture.  Actually I think copies of these pictures need to go to Dr. Mac for his bulletin board, don’t you?

And last but not least, and I cannot emphasize that part about not least, enough, is Annie Banannie.  She is spoiled rotten.  She is the essence of spoiled rotten.  She is the epitome of T totally spoiled rotten beagle.  And I have no one to blame but myself.  I wonder if there is a support group for people like me?

Happy Saturday Evening
