Bunny Blues 2011

Just brought Misty the rabbit home - he's been at the vet's having his teeth done. Good news is despite being 7, he seems to have come through the surgery well, 2 teeth removed (he'll soon be a gummy rabbit!), the rest filed down. Not so good news... £194.75. Ouch! This is on top of the £40 odd for his innoculations. I'd better get making and selling those earrings, I'm going to need the money!

Got to take him back for his post-op checkup on Thursday. Oh joy...

Happy to har Misty is doing well. (Does this mean you have to puree rabbit food?)

How's the house coming along?

Nope, he just has to eat his usual dried food and greens, he has to keep his remaining teeth worn down somehow! He keeps his front teeth sharp by chewing his house of course. All his problems stem from him refusing to see hay or grass as food, he won't eat them, so his teeth don't get worn down properly and rabbit teeth keep growing all the time. This was his fifth surgery!

The work on the house is more or less finished, but we still have a lot of cleaning up to do - we just don't seem to have the energy to get it done, so it's slow going. The last 7 months have taken their toll and we just feel completely exhausted. I don't think we'll even get the re-decorating started until next year as we still have to sort through the rest of the stuff in the house and get rid of everything we don't want, while everything we're keeping needs to be cleaned, washed or whatever. Brick dust has literally got everywhere and it's a devil to clean up! Wiping surfaces with a damp cloth just smears it everywhere, using a duster makes it fly about to settle again later, meaning repeatedly cleaning the same bits over and over *sigh*
