The Blackburn Family

No, not JD this time! Today Tuscan and Moose had to go in for their yearly physical. They both look great, no problems! Tuscan weighs in at 4.5 pounds and Moose at 2.7 pounds. They both have lost a bit of weight since their visit last year. Usually I take them in for their examinations and then bring them back, but now my work is 5 minutes from the vet and 35-40 minutes from the house so they had to stay there all day today. It was the first time I have left them anywhere since I adopted them almost 5 years ago! As soon as I got the carrier out this morning they started thumping and hiding from me. They are still in their room and Tuscan is giving me some nasty looks.

When I got to the vet’s office to pick them up after work they told me Moose had managed to break out of the play area they had set up for them this morning. She is a crafty little bunny. The vet tech said they had them in a play area together with a litter box, but then they had to seperate them to try to get fecal samples. They put them in seperate cages, but Tuscan was the only one with a litter box. They tried to get a sample from Moose most of the day, but nothing. So they put her in the play area with a litterbox and she ran right over and started using it. She wasn’t giving a sample because she didn’t have a litterbox! What a good little bunny.

The Christmas season is upon us again which means going shopping after work EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! For the four of you out there waiting for my latest Christmas card featuring the very cute Tuscan and Moose you will be waiting a long time. I just couldn’t get a picture this year. I tried several photoshoots and didn’t like any of them. I got a few funny shots and one of them made it on disapproving bunnies!! I will put the link below. Anyway, with each attempt to get a picture Tuscan became more and more grumpy so I have given up. I have bought lots of Christmas decorations for my shots most of which I have taken back. Maybe next year, but don’t hold your breath. I think I have less Christmas sprit this year than last which is pretty bad. I am about 2 years away from becoming Scrooge. Each year I decorate a little less. Last year I put out my weird Christmas trees (they aren’t really Christmas trees, but I pretend they are). This year I am not even messing with it. To top it off I found out tonight the company that makes the Christmas village houses I paint was sold and the new company isn’t making them. So now they are next to impossible to find. They are selling for 4 times what they used to cost on ebay (plus shipping). I am pretty upset about it. I was going to buy some last Christmas, but I didn’t and now it is too late. So in other words, bah humbug!!

Here we are on dissaproving bunnies:
