Dizzy boop!

Apollo was buzzing and circling me at warp speed, then paused with his foot on mine to give Puff a nose-bonk. It was like he was saying, "Don't worry, I like you too!"

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend! I'm going to be in Ohio with the bunnies until October taking care of my parents' estate stuff and working on the house, so I'll have as many posts as I can make ahead of time for you guys (may space them out some if needed, so check back if I skip a day) and will be back with regular posting on October 5th. I'm not sure if I'll be able to reply to you guys if you comment while I'm away, but will as soon as I can!

Definitely feeling better.

Apollo has resumed his quest for 'up' and is making amazing progress! He even managed to jump onto the back of the couch (a bunny feat not seen since River) and hop down from the couch all by himself. He was very proud of that and had to show us this new ability multiple times!

Feeling better!

It didn't take long for Apollo to binky up a storm after being released from cage rest after his neuter!

Very proud of herself.

Naomi created a new game called 'hang the pine-cone' because chucking it into her water dish was just too easy. It's like she's slapping it with her paw and saying, "Yup, this sucker is not going anywhere!"

(I really did end up having to use a surprising amount of force to free the pine-cone.)

Apollo is just a little munchkin!

Here Apollo is at 18 weeks old just before surgery trying to look like a big bunny.

When he really looks like this. The vet said he weighed 2.2 pounds at his spay neuter on Friday.

To give an idea of size, Amos was 3 pounds and Naomi was 4 pounds at 15 weeks old, so Apollo is fun-sized!

Apollo is all tuckered out and is using his pine-cone as a pillow with his little paw up on it! He's been eating very well on his own and going to the litter box like normal, so he's definitely on the mend. Thank you all for your well wishes!

Sproing!

We're taking Apollo in for her spay today, so it's going to be a bit before it's safe for the little munchkin to binky up a storm again.  I'll keep you guys updated on how things go.

Update 9:44am   Just dropped Apollo off for her spay.  Her curiosity led her into the travel cage without a fuss.  Oddly, Naomi was the one who started thumping once she saw Apollo in the travel cage.  Like, why are you thumping?  You're not even the one going to the vet!

When I got back, Naomi hopped out of her cage and went looking for Apollo.  I had to cheer her up with a banana chip because she looked really subdued and I think she's actually worried about the little munchkin.

I was told they would call me close to when they close today, so I'll let you know how things went then.

Update 11:16am   Mazel tov--Apollo's a boy!  Apparently his trouble puffs were all kinds of tucked up in there and wouldn't have come down on their own.

Update 8pm  Apollo is home and happily munching on pellets!  It's been a long day for the little fella.  I have pain meds for him and just need to keep an eye on the surgery site. We're just glad he's feeling well enough to eat on his own!

The vet did say that the one teste that was stuck inside (cryptorchid) had the appearance of ova due to the body temperature causing that change in histology, while the other that partially descended was normal.

How are you so small?!

Apollo is 4 months old and Mr. Giraffe still towers over her!
