Check Up

Here is Miss Binks and I in our carrier. I went back to the vet for a follow up. Seems I am favouring Critical Care a lot so Mom figured we needed to go for another check up. Miss Binks came along for the ride because hey, we like to be together and when we are not together, we get sad. Look at how pretty she is with her face in the sunlight. I'm behind her contemplating an escape.......

Dr. Marco gave me a check up and he thinks that it might be a good idea to get my teeth examined more closely. That means bringing me back and having me sedated so that a good, proper examination can be done, and if there are any spikes on my teeth, they can be filed down. Dr. Marco saw one that he thought might be bothering me but he thinks there may be more he can't see. Mom and Dad are not too pleased about having to bring me back and having me put under - I haven't been put under since I lost my "boys" 7 years ago - so they are a little nervous. Binky will come with me and she can stay with me in the cage while I recover. Mom is going to take the day off work so that she can be available to bring us home as soon as we are ready.

So that's the update on me. Don't worry my peeps, I am doing well. I am eating all my Critical Care and my salads and hopefully after a tooth trim I will be back to scarfing down some hay. My poops are good and my mood is as spirited as ever! And to prove it, see below for a video of me in my carrier, keeping my Stupid Blanket in line.....

Mom is a worrier. She says she will not be able to sleep until this procedure is over and I am back to normal. I keep telling her not to worry, but I think it would really help her if you all could send some good thoughts our way. I'm not a young bunny anymore and any type of procedure at my age is risky so Mom says the more good thoughts, the better!

I will post again after Thursday for an update on my teeth and to let you all know how I am doing. Thanks for all the support many of you have already sent my way - I really appreciate it!

Jade said...: Mr. Mick gets his molars ground down every two months. His vet uses gas to put him under so it's less stressful on him and he's awake and back to normal again in no time. We will be thinking good thoughts for successful tooth-fixing for you as well, Fluffy, because those Stupid Blankets need you to keep them in line.; April 2, 2012 at 11:10 PM

Rabbit Rescue Poem

I used to be a lonely rabbit,
Just looking for a home.
I simply had no place to go,
No one to call my own.

I wandered through the streets and fields,
in rain in heat and snow.
I ate what ever I could find,
I was always on the go.

My skin would itch, my feet were sore,
My body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat
Or gently say my name.

I never saw a loving glance,
I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me
was really lots of fun.

And then one day I heard a voice
So gentle, kind and sweet,
And arms so soft reached down to me
And took me off my feet.

"No one again will hurt you"
Was whispered in my ear.
"You’ll have a home to call your own
where you will know no fear.

You will be dry, you will be warm,
you’ll have enough to eat
And rest assured that when you sleep,
your dreams will all be sweet."

I was afraid I must admit,
I’ve lived so long in fear.
I can’t remember when I let
A human come so near.

And as she tended to my wounds
And cleaned and brushed my fur
She told me ‘bout the rescue group
And what it meant to her.

She said, "We are a circle,
A line that never ends.
And in the center there is you
protected by new friends.

And all around you are the ones
Who'll keep you safe and sound,
Who will share their loving home with you
Until a forever one can be found.

We will do all we can
by searching near and far,
To find the perfect home for you,
where you can be a star."

She said, "There is a family,
that’s waiting patiently,
and pretty soon we’ll find them,
just you wait and see.

And then they’ll join our circle,
they’ll help to make it grow,
so there’ll be room for more like you,
who have no place to go."

I waited very patiently,
The days, they came and went.
Today’s the day, I would hope,
my family will be sent.

Then just when I began to think
It wasn’t meant to be,
there were people standing there
just gazing down at me.

I knew them in a heartbeat
I could tell they felt it too.
They said "We have been searching for
A special bunn like you."

Now every night I say a prayer
to all the Gods that be.
Thank you for the life I live
and all you’ve given me.

But most of all protect the bunnies
in the pound and on the street.
And send a Rabbit Rescue Person
to lift them off their feet.
