Rabbits are smart creatures. Some people may think differently, but oh, I know so! I have 2 rabbits, inside rabbits, cage and litter trained… for the most part! Bugsy is actually the female and Snowball the male… Yeah the petstores don’t know shit and told us Bugsy was a boy and snowball was a girl, hense the confusing names. We found out when we went to spay and neuter them (cuz seriously who looks down there? lol). But that’s another story for another time….

So Bugsy… good ol Bugsy. She likes to pretend that she isn’t litter trained sometimes. But I noticed she only does it when she’s not very happy. For example, we moved thier cages into the living room to make room in the spare bedroom for company. We put her in the corner next to the couch, against the wall. Well no one can see her back there! She can’t see whats going on either, shes just stuck back there in the corner. She started pee’ing all over her cage. As soon as I figured out that she was mad and moved her cage, she stopped!! She’s done this on more than one occation now for different reasons.

 

Now she’s doing it again. And in the “play room” where I let them run freely out of thier cage she goes in that litter box no problem! This current time I couldn’t figure out what her problem was for the longest time! But I just figured it out today! I should also mention that my little bunnies are piggys and LOVE to eat! They go crazy when it’s food time…. Well last week I noticed she started going in her litter box again, and I was so happy I thought I finally got thru to her! But this week… at it again. WELL… Last week I got a good thing of lettuce and the leaves were big and full, so thier bowls were fuller, they got more food. This week the lettuce isn’t so good and they have smaller leaves which leaves them with less food! I dont do it on purpose but we’re tight on the food budget so I can’t afford to give them a ton of food all the time! If we have to cut back, so do the bunnies, sorry! haha. Well anyway, that must be the reason! She’s hungrier and madder when she doesn’t get enough food!

The funniest part is (I said they’re smart!) Snowball always drinks more water than Bugsy. Last night their water bottles were over half full, this morning Bugsy’s was almost gone but Snowball had just under 1/2 the water still in the bottle. So she purposely drank a ton of water (possibly to fill her up more? I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt haha) but possibly just to pee more all over the bottom of the cage to make a mess for us to clean up!

Last night, as I was walking up the steps into my apartment (outside steps), I heard this really loud noise and wondered what it was. It sounded like a helicopter but really close to me, I heard this Wooosh Wooosh Woosh Woosh and then my hair goes flying!!! Luckily I was too tired from the long day to turn around and look to see where this sound was coming from…This huge DUCK was flying Right at me! That would have scared me to death to see him and I probably would have fell up or down the steps trying to get away. My husband was right in front of me and turned around to see what it was. he thought it was going to hit me square in the head! But luckily he just grazed me. He was trying to get on top of the roof, and I was in his way apparently! He could’nt get his fat ass up high enough to get around me. He almost took my head off!! I felt Elaine in the Seinfeld episode where her ex calls her big head and then she gets hit by a bird!  “He flew right into your head. Like he couldn’t avoid it.”  The funniest part was that neighbors were outside, they were standing in the parking lot and witnessed the whole event!  

 

PS It’s still FRREEEZZZING!!! And why did the weather channel say that the low was going to be 56 if on the same screen it said, current temp 51… um I’m not a meterologist or anything but even I can tell there is something wrong with that forcast!

This is cute!

You Are a Monkey

You are a very fascinating creature. People are interested in every little thing you do. You are smart, curious, and clever. You are naturally witty, and you have a great sense of humor. You can see things from many different angles, and you always have an interesting perspective on life. You are likely agile and playful. You stay physically fit simply by staying active.

What Animal Are You?

This just made me laugh hysterically, so I had to share…

And the month long challenge is now done! My last post is Nature for the color red… well I hope you consider this nature… they at least live out in the nature… are animals nature? now i’m doubting HAHA. well i’m considering this nature anyway, these crazy ducks are always around my apt complex. And their faces are red they are the most stubborn ducks too, they will not move out of your way , you have to actually drive around them… They’re not scared of you either. Sometimes they are on the sidewalk when I’m coming out of work and I walk right next to them and they don’t even move. They eye you alright, but they don’t move or bother you.

Another day for a Yellow Pic Post. I’m using the wild card category and took a pic of my fish lure (is that how u spell it the way i’m using it? lol no idea, I haven’t done this in a while). So today we finally decided to use our new fishing poles that we got a few months ago… HAHA. there’s just a little lake behind our apt which we got the fishing poles for but just never got down there! I guess the fresh air for the past two days and being outside just made us want to stay out and not get couped up inside at all. So we went fishing when we got back from Orlando. Didn’t catch anything, but had fun trying to get the hang of the whole fishing thing again. I used to fish all the time when I was younger. My grandparents lived on a lake, so we had plenty of opportunity for that. I really wish they didnt sell that cottage or my family had more money because we wanted to buy it. Actually us kids wanted to buy it the most but I was only in 6th grade when they sold it so obviously we were too young for that haha. It was the best place for all of the family to go to and get together and we knew without that cottage we would never see each other… and thats what happened! very sad… but lets not get this story going on the sad route… because fishing was a happy time, happy story hahaha… so anyway heres the picture! I kind of like the reflection of the sky/clouds and trees in the water…

well sort of… Im back online! this is the first time I was able to get online during the vaca… and it’s only because i’m up before everyone else lol.

So i owe pics for the past 2 days… I’m going with the nature for thurs and text for Friday.

Thurs. Nature. Flowers.

The lovely yellow flowers were located in Sea World. We actually got free tickets to sea world from my uncle! Free is always nice! so we did that on Thursday. The best part was the mime before one of the shows. he was there to entertain and keep you occupied until the show started, and he did a damn good job. He was hilarious. And it wasn’t the hands on the wall or trapped in a box routine if thats what you’re thinking! he was interacting with the people that were walking in for the show. if someone was on their phone he’d walk behind them pretending to be on a phone, or make faces at people until they noticed he was following. he did a whole bunch of hilarious things, and you know… i dont think i got a picture of him… damn. lol.

Day 2, Friday. Category TEXT. There were many yellow signs at Universal Studios…here are just a few…

Universal Studios was a little more fun then sea world. But I haven’t been there since I was in 6th grade, so I didn’t remember much. My Uncle (a diff. one than the one who gave us the free tickets to seaworld) and little cousin who is about 10 or 11 went as well as my parents and my husband. They live here so they have been a million times. Don’t get me wrong, it was really nice to see my Uncle and Cousin so it was nice they came and spent time with us, but they’ve done it all. So they had certain things they wanted to do or see and they knew their way around so we’d go here and there and back again. Well the way we (hubby and I) like to do it is just go around the whole park in a circle to be sure we see everything and don’t miss anything. If we dont want to do something we’ll just skip over it but at least we got to see it or see where it was and whatnot. But we obviously didnt get to do that so I feel like we missed out on the experience a little, and also there were a couple things at the end we were like, “Oh we didnt do that, we forgot to look for it, i didnt even see it.” The park closed at 7 so we didnt get to do everything… and then there is my dad. my poor dad, hes not even that old but his health is not that great right now. He’s sick and doesnt have much energy. So a lot of things he would sit out, and wait for us instead of waiting in line or if it was a jerky ride he would wait out as well. So instead of being able to sit in one place while we did a couple things, he’d have to walk back and forth with us across the park while we went here or there. So we walked more than what we would have if we just went though the park in a circle. So I felt real bad for him But he doesn’t complain, I just know it really wore him out.

Other than things not going as I completely wanted the park was great. We saw a lot of great shows, they have a fear factor and you can try out if you wanted before the show. They have an animal actors show, i forgot what its called somethng like Horror makeup show where they show you how they do the blood and guts for movies, that was pretty interesting. they have a couple 3D shows, terminator and shrek those were cool. And the rides we went on were great. This one roller coaster, the mummy, that was cool. it was shorter then i expected though. i was just happy it didnt go upside down though haha, and it was all in the dark. we bought the pic for that… i kno tourist scam, so much money… but i had to, our faces were PRICELESS. My uncle had his eyes shut, my mom was Screaming, my eyes were bugging out so big, and curt had this face with his lips puckered cuz he was going WOOOOOO! lol. it was great. My dad and little cousin sat that ride out. well anyway, it was a great 2 days off work and great visit with my family! Just sad it ended so soon!

Green Food is the easy one for me. I touch green food every day, at least twice a day. My bunnies eat Romaine Lettuce! I feed them in the morning and at night, they get lots of veggies.

My rabbits try to be tricky sometimes before they will go into their cages after I let them back inside (we have recently removed the ginormous cage from the spare room and let them run around on the screened in balcony). They try to run past me and hide under the coffee table or the kitchen table. As soon as I tap them on their backside they take off running like it’s a game. They usually make a run for the spare room which used to be their room, “the bunny room,” and occasionally hide under the bed and won’t come out. For some reason they like to run behind the cage when I finally get them back towards the cages now positioned in the living room. Snowball has found that the vertical  blinds are very entertaining.  The blinds reach the floor and he tries to walk in between them or behind them, and he picks them up with his teeth. I don’t know if he likes the noise or the fact he can move something so “big.” I took a cute picture of him doing it, so I thought I’d use that as my pic of the day!

Isn’t he cute??

 

Picture taken March 16th, 2008 

You can’t tell by the picture, but this duck is very entertaining. It is the silliest duck I have ever seen. It likes to play games with you and also his reflection in the window. This is Florida, so the office buildings have a very reflective sheen from the dark tint in order to keep the very bright sun out. This duck has so much fun with that, I’m not sure if he realizes it is just his own reflection! In the picture he’s taking a nap, he wore himself out, thats for sure. For days he’s been in that corner playing with his reflection, bobbing his head, squawking, and pacing about. When you walk out the door it almost seems as if he’s going to come after you, but then you realize when he doesn’t move from the corner he is either enticing you to play or just trying to scare you away. He can definitely wash away the stress of the day if you pause to enjoy his presence…
