Mattie's at work with Momma today. Daddy got up and heard a ruckus in the rabbit room. Apparently Mr. Lucca and Ms. Coconut decided 5:30am was an appropriate time to nibble on Mattie's ear through the pen. They are seperated until Mattie is better from her snuffles and bite wound, however, I think they are going to be seperated for much longer. UGH! Poor Mattie, her ear has nibble marks in it and the end is torn - probably will need a stitch. So for now the sweet little girl is spending the morning at the Shelby Arc office with me. We cleaned her up and put some antibiotic ontiment on her ear and gave her morning dose of meds. She seems okay and content hanging out on a blanket at the office. Munching on some hay in her box and hopping around on the blanket. After work this morning it will be off to see Dr. Campbell since Dr. Atlas is out for the week. I woudn't know what to do without that vet office. They are wonderful despite the huge amounts of money we had to shell out lately. Heck, we do it for our human family, so we must do it for our fur babies, too.
Coconut is still sneezing but her nose doesn't look quite as runny. She is such a sassafrass and piggie. I sat in her and Lucca's pen last night to give meds and she must have stomped at me at least 10 times! Then I pulled out the bananas and she was all about hopping all over me for a few treats! Lucca, too, boy they love those bananas!
Last night Lucca explored the spare bedroom on his own which is a huge deal! But then he decided to make his way to the living room rug and him and Matilda had a bit of a scruffle for territory. Thankfully no one was injured. The kitties really don't know what to think. Thankfully Aurora enjoys bathing Matilda's head, so I feel okay that she is getting some love from at least one other furrty friend. Sneakers and Aurora enjoy bedtime snuggles on our bed and Mattie has joined in the action. It is actually quite cute in the fact that all three will lounge at the end of the bed and "watch" tv until it is time to fall asleep. Beans has taken to chasing after Mattie, probably because she is the only animal in the house that will run from him. Then he sits and watches her and sniffs her. Not mean spirited but totally a Beans thing to do.
Both Sneakers and Aurora have decided that they are items from Publix. They have spent the last few nights curling up in the Publix reusable shopping bag I have and then waiting until Steve or I walk by to pounce out. I swear, in a house with a gagillion toys, they choose things like bags, shoelaces and toliet paper rolls as their top toys! When will us humans learn!
Aside from all the rabbit ruckus, I am hoping to work on our lawn this weekend. I swear, the people that resided in our house previously had to quite possibly be the worst homeowners ever. Not only did they not do anything about termites but they let their boys through well over 30 balls into the gutters and they did not take care of the lawn. SO, now I am engrossed in a battle with the weeds that I call our lawn. Hoping to mow it today or tomorrow and lay down another weed treatment. I am determined to beat this! My purple tulips have all bloomed and look beautiful and smell pretty good, too. Now I just hope all the other flowers come up at their respective times!
Steve is hoping to finish the third spare bedroom this weekend and hopefully everything will be set for our visitors next week! I desperately need to trim the bushes in the front of the house since they have grown over and cover most of the windows!
Here's hoping there will be a peaceful rabbit and feline environment when Mattie and I return home. At least Steve is picking up plexi glass to place in between the rabbit runs so there will be no more ear chewing on the agenda! I am sure there will be an update this afternoon! Pray for us at the vet and Matilda for a calm and unpainful treatment!
