Sad Caturday

In anticipation of Kristen coming over for my birthday party, Jason and I cut Two's claws. (Kristen likes to lovingly harass Two and Two does less damage on peoples skin when her claws are clipped down.) This is always a challenging process that involves Jason restraining the cat and me trying to quickly cut all her claws with large nail clippers. Since her claws are clear, it is easier than doing Toby's, who had the occasional black bunny-claw that meant you couldn't see the 'quick', the pink part of an animals nail where the nerves and blood vessels are. You are NOT to cut this sensitive area. Well, for the first time, I accidentally cut one of Two's it was horrible, she screamed and it was so sad. It didn't bleed much and she forgave us enough to let us finish the last two claws but it is so heartbreaking to hurt your pet. I still feel bad about it.

It's A Montage

I'm preparing to give away my bunny. I have had little Toby for over 3 years and I love him so much. The new apartment is too small for three people, two cats, and a bunny so I needed to find him a new home. Toby is also a lot more work then you would think and I don't have the time to handle and play with him as much as he deserves. I love him so much and it is so very hard to see him go. I'm comforted by the fact that I have found a great person to take him. I'm having friends over on Easter Monday to say goodbye to the little guy before he heads off to his new life.

Tocktober

October maybe Breast Cancer month. (And my boss maybe letting me order the pink Sharpies that give money towards research.) But according to Cute Overload (See link on Right) it is also the month to celebrate cute animal behinds, or 'tocks'. Tocktober. I love it! Though I prefer to say 'bum' since it just seems to be a funnier word, I giggle every time I say it. Hehe 'bum'. I have to say I can see the draw to animal bums. My favorite part of Toby is his little bunny bum with the little rabbit tail, oh so cute. I also love it when I'm biking home along the canal and the ducks dip completely upside down in the water to get the weeds, Duck Bum's. For some reason in my head when I see them doing that I think that they are 'dabbling', I don't know why I think it is called that, I'm sure it isn't. Maybe I read it somewhere, perhaps in this childhood book I had called 'Ducks Don't Get Wet' which was really sciency for a kids book. So maybe not in there, since I'm almost certain that 'Ducks a'dabbling' is not a scientifically accurate phrase about duck behaviour.

Bunny Manicure

Ami and I cut the bunny's nails this evening. This is an annoying monthly activity, but he is so cute we don't mind.

Sacrifice

I'm working a lot lately, pretty much everyday, often from fairly early until late at night. These hours have meant I have had to sacrifice a lot of things; time with friends, catching up with family, thinking about him, school work, quality of work, laundry, tidying and organizing of my room, my pets, keeping the house clean, etc. Basically so many things have been put on the back burner while I spend a couple of weeks working very hard to earn some much needed money. I realised though that one extremely important thing I have had to sacrifice is my television viewing. I missed House, The O.C, and even Grey's Anatomy this week.

Dirty Bunny

Everything my bunny does is adorable! The thing eats its own poo, and is cute while it does it. Mind you lately I have been fairly lazy about keeping the cage clean, so the poo has piled up. I don't want him to get sick, or my roommates to evict me, so I'm going to change the the shavings. He deserves it, he is perfect in every little bunny way.

What to do?

I'm sitting here, and I have no idea what to do with myself. The problem is there are tons of things I could and should do, I just don't feel like doing any of them. I can't figure out what it is I want to do right now. I should clean the bunny cage, do homework, assignments, study, eat breakfast, do laundry, tidy my room or desk, brush my teeth, and get dressed. I could do anything I wanted like watch TV or a movie, write, paint, read, bath, workout, go for a walk, run or bike. I just am so bored and unmotivated. I have to work in a few hours too so that isn't helping. All this is making me cranky, and I hate being like that. It feels like I have been moody and cranky a lot more then usual lately, and I don't know why.

Home Sweet Home

With working at The Cup over and done with, I can now actually live in Le Manoir with my pets, my girls, my huge stock pile of food, my bed, my computer, and my clothes. I will finally truly live in this beautiful house and hang out in my wicked huge room. It is true that the home is where the heart is, in that case my heart is still with W. in his tiny room downtown. So many people, pets and things that I love are here though, so my heart is going to have to move. W. can come visit me here for a change!
