Betty Loves The Outdoors

We're still getting to know Betty...building trust with her is a bit trickier than normal

because we're dealing with her wonky teeth which I am fearing will always be wonky.

But one thing I do know about her already is that she's very very smart...that she loves it outside

& that she's a pro at stairs & has already learnt the way to the back deck all the way from downstairs!

Finding A Fledgling

We came across a bit of wild magic...

in the middle of a busy road,

being narrowly missed by each car barreling by,

we saw this little fledgling, peeping away, obviously lost & helpless.

I didn't think twice, I knew my hon bun would block traffic with the truck as best as possible

whiles I jumped out to try to help the little darling

(or rather I hobbled out cause I had my knee brace on!)

I thought it would be enough to scoop her up off the road but when I did so,

she was obviously even more helpless than I originally thought...

so I followed her, she didn't know where to go poor sweet-ling.

So I called Jonathan for help, he came with a blanket, gently scooped her up and home we went.

We couldn't leave her there to starve or get squashed!

So afternoon plans now out the window...lunch gone bad from too long out in heat...

we sat in the yard with her for the rest of the day, thinking she'd get her baring's and be on her way.

But she wouldn't move after hours and finally when a chipmunk scared the bejeezus out of her,

causing her to get tangled up and stuck in a thorny rosebush...we decided to bring her in for the night.

She would let me hold her on my chest as Jonathan opened her mouth and popped food in.

Fresh corn kernels, fresh peas, little pieces of cherry and such.

If we held up a teaspoon to her mouth she would drink 2 or 3 spoons all in one go.

After eating, tucked against my warm neck, she'd fall asleep and nap away.

And so it went like this for a couple weeks...feeding her and her napping on me.

We researched online and it became clear that we couldn't let her go until we saw she could fly

and saw that she could recognize food on the ground and feed herself...

well little miss didn't do that for quite some time!

Almost a month later, she is still here...we'll see what happens!

But this has been the perfect example of what I mean when I tell people to let their

sensitively and vulnerability shine through because it's through these
that we experience many of life's beautiful mysteries and magic's...

we refused to be just any one of the cars just looking but still zooming on by

and thank goodness for that because she's been some kind of magic in our little household!

Flynn

Flynn

Flynn (aka Flea aka Bug) is our resident sous chef & grocery inspector. He was a special needs adoption due to a condition called ISC syndrome & being prone to gut problems. He also suffers from hypercalcemia, so every night he patiently gets his bladder expelled. He was a little stress urchin when rescued & still after all this time still has some of his street thug ways. But this pint sized cuties gorilla growls don't fool us for a second...he's one of the cuddliest little guys in the warren and loves a good inverted snuggle. He makes us laugh almost everyday when he does his nightly hallway zooms & flings himself around wildly often crashing into all the furniture. He loves blueberries the most I think & hate getting his face washed but he does like it when we put cream on his feet! Follow his adorableness on Instagram @leporidaelovely

Yuuji

Yuuji

otherwise known as our Soot Gremlin or Georgie Puddin is the easiest going guy around and he loves to retreat to his solo hideaway under the bed whiles he waits patiently for spring & summer fun even though he's the resident snow bunny. He was our youngest shelter adoptee & a sweet 8 months old when we brought him home. He was some impossible way the only little guy left and unwanted from a litter. He lost his mate Teela much too soon & everyday we miss and remember her together. Yuuji has chronic allergies so sometimes all the sneezing tuckers him out but nothing makes him happier than taking a nice long snooze on the coffee table in the middle of the afternoon. He's is the silliest fella and will just randomly pop in the air for no reason and he tells ya he's happy by wiggling his tail at you.

Misa Adora

Misa Adora

is my stars, moon & sun and basically my heart on four legs! She buoys me up like no other and is my best friend and balm for just about everything. She's full of beans & very energetic. Misa was in the shelter system for a long time & was in atleast two that we know of, despite being insanely cute she was overlooked because shes next to impossible to pick up & she was super duper skittish, shaking in a corner when I first met her...now with me, she's amazing and fun and playful and adventurous but still is a four feet on the ground at all times bunny. Hop on by for more of her dandelion puff ways @leporadae_lovely on IG

Leisel Be Good

Korra-Soleil

Korra-Soleil

Our Apricot Strudel is another babe whose had a rather rough start, she was in a Quebec shelter that was shut down & on the transfer day to the THS her bonded mate died. Than she was at the THS awhile, we meet her when we were there adopting somebunny else & we fell in love with her but than she was adopted to someone else only to be brought back a whole year later! The minute we saw she was back at the shelter we zoomed to the city to adopt her. She is a gentle girl & has sadly had more loss recently with the sudden passing of Emmett her best bud so she's been alittle sad. But this beautiful red-head of ours loves to hang out in her Daddy's office as he works. Visit our quiet heavy footed, stinky binkie loving girl @leporidaelovely on Instagram

********************

Jaks (aka Jelly Bean) passed away very peacefully at home on October 2nd 2018. He was 13 years old. He valiantly fought congestive heart failure just 3 days short of 3 years. He was a trooper when it came to all of his heart meds everyday, he was a trooper for everything that this life unfairly threw at him. First locked in a closet for his first year, than as a stressed out store mascot for a year, than going through many other challenges. He was always most happiest being in the studio with me, with our music on, snoozing his days away all toasty warm near the heating rad. He loved his morning oats, practicing his kung-fu chops and showing any broom or vacuum whose boss. Miss you everyday Jelly Bean. Your tenacity is now part of mine XO.

Betty-Loo White

Betty-Loo White

Betty-Loo White was not with us long enough. We adopted her in February of 2018, we had her for less than 4 months. She was sadly one of the buns who slipped through the shelter cracks & her teeth were a big problem right from the start. She passed away from heart failure during a necessary but routine dental procedure. She was our beautiful fluffy girl who will always leave a hole in our hearts. 4 months was more than enough time to completely fall in love with her gentle spirit. She was at the shelter a whole year & it breaks our hearts that we hadn't even begun to make up all the wrong that was done to her. She was only 5 year old and she leaves behind Henrie whom she bonded with instantly upon coming home. She was one of the rare adoptions who was super easy right from the start (despite the health problems) & we miss her so much. I am sorry we couldn't do better by you Betty-Loo, you were too gentle & good for this world.
