Ms. Matilda had surgery yesterday. She spent the day at work with me and then we headed off to the vet. Dr. Campbell was wonderful. We have never seen him before but since Dr. Atlas was off for the week we had the chance to meet him. He took a look at little Mattie's battle wounds and together we decided that surgery was our best option. SO, while Mattie and I were waiting for them to prepare the OR, Mattie sat on momma's lap and gave me a nice face cleaning. She licked my whole face and nuzzled into my neck. I think she was reassuring me that I was making the right decision for her to start to feel better. Off she went to surgery and I waited in the room for her. Dr. Campbell brought her back about 45 minutes later and let momma hold her while she was waking up. She did fabulous! She has a whole slew of stitches down the side of her back and two on her ear. Mattie took about 30 minutes to wake up enough to hold her head up but Dr. Campbell checked her over and talked with momma and decided that she was well enough to come home. We thought we might have to do sub Q fluids for her, but she was a trooper. When we got home she lounged for a bit and then decided she needed to eat and drink something! Yea Mattie! Daddy came home and brought some plexi glass with him and we put it in between the bun pens to keep the biting between pens at bay!
Today all three buns seem to be doing pretty well. Ms. Nut and Lucca are out running around. Or should I say Coconut is busy re-scenting everything in the livingroom and Lucca ran out for a minute and then ran back to their pen area! Coconut is due for a haircut today but momma is going to wait until later this evening to tackle that project. Hair trims and nail cutting is always momma's least favorite projects with these buns!
I have been ready the annual Rabbit magazine and decided that I am going to submit photos of all three of them to the annual rabbit photo contest. SO, I have been carrying my camera around to catch cute shots of all of them. Needless to say, Coconut and Matilda aren't huge fans of the flash or the constant photo opps!
Sneakers is busy rolling on the carpet in cat nip and Coconut is hopping circles around her at the moment. Earlier Sneak decided to check out Lucca's view from atop the bun home. Lucca wasn't quite sure about that one and appeared rather pleased with Sneaker's decision to depart from his sunny spot.
Beans and Aurora are busy running all over the house. Attempting to find windows to sun in and screens to smell the outdoors from. Beans has a never ending mission to plot his escape route to the outdoors. Aurora is just plump and happy. Mostly.
Today momma and dad are awaiting the arrival of our new couch. We are planning on trimming some shrubs and mowing the lawn, completing the trim in the spare bedroom and moving the old couch on in there! Let's see what all we get accomplished! For now, I should go to get things moving!
