Update on Pancakes

Hello kind friends!

Some of you requested a Pancakes update. His site was updated late last night by his owner. The donations have really brought them up and out of the trouble zone for now! But it does sound like he will require dental work from his recent post.

He is doing much better and back to being active. His cheek is continuing to heal. They found a lump on his neck but believe it to be his lymph node with a bit of swelling due to his body fighting the infection from his cheek. He had been drooling a lot and having trouble eating - but he just lost an incisor, which sounds like it had been broken and that was what was bothering him. He is now no longer drooling and is able to eat much easier!

You can visit his status page: http://www.dustincampbell.ca/pancakes/hisstatus.html to read the full update.

He also posted some new pictures to show his progress! Under his pictures page. Please be aware they are graphic in terms of his missing cheek, so I won't post a direct link, but if you want to view the pictures you can find them. They do show a nice steady progress.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart on behalf of Pancakes, for taking the time to read about him and give support with thoughts, emails, donations, and passing on the word.

An Apology... and a Plea

Been a long time... so I wanted to say sorry! I try to keep up with reading about you guys, but Mom has been soooooooooooo busy, so she claims. She would like to offer you this very adorable picture of some buntocks to appease you:

              

                

I know, we are cute. Even from the back end.

        

Anyway, Mom also would like to jump in and offer a few words, or something. Now it's my turn to apologize... At least she probably won't call you FezzerBumm...

        

I only want to quickly ask that you guys take a few moments to visit a website about a special bunny named Pancakes. Pancakes lives in London, Ontario, Canada. He is approximately 2 years old, and a Netherland Dwarf bunny. He is incredibly friendly and loving. His previous owners abandoned him - with an abcess in his cheek roughly the size of a golf ball.

    

Now, I know many of us have dealt with our bunnies being sick. Treated them, vetted them, cared for them. Someone has luckily taken Pancakes in, to treat and care for. Unfortunately he is having difficulty with the financial aspect of treatments. You can read all about what Pancakes has had to go through on the website. I am posting here to ask people to pass it on, or to donate if you can. The website notes that you can't donate directly to the vet; however a friend of mine has called the vet directly and they will accept a credit card payment directly to be put towards Pancakes' care. The vet is:

1310 Commissioners Road West
London, (ON)
N6K 1E1
(519) 472-3770
         

I hope you are all well and I will get caught up and updated shortly! Thanks for taking the time to read about Pancakes.

              

Hoppy Holidays!

          

So, we are totally over not going to the top levels. It did torture mom, but they are just so fun! See Norbert enjoying it up there!? He likes to climb down along all the boxes. Wheeeee!

           

So we thought maybe we should give mom a break. It's not nice to torture her. The other slave was giving her presents too, so we didn't want to be upstaged. He gave her this loud thing, she calls it a dyson. She got all excited and ran into our room and turned on the loud thing, and kept schreeching "it's picking up the hay!!!" while she ran around the room. What a whacko. Anyway, we thought since she has so much fun with this thing, we should make sure she has lots to use it on.

                 

I had this bright idea, to throw all the hay and stuff out of our litter boxes and strew it around the room. Then she could come in with the loud thing and get all happy and pick it all up. Brilliant! So, we have started to regularly do this for her. When she walks by and peeks in and sees the gifts we've given, she says things like, "OH! You BUNNIES!" and then gets the loud thing right away. She must really love it.

                  

Yesterday we did it three times. Let me tell you, on the third time, when she saw how generous we are, she was SPEECHLESS. I'm pretty sure I saw a tear in her eye!

          

So Hoppy Holidays to you all! I hope you can all do something as nice as this for YOUR humans!

           

Caught in the Act!

Well, she finally figured it out. Norbert and I ventured up to the second level to stretch our legs, and she caught us.

                

         

Man, then all the squeaking she did, and jumping around, and picture taking, and more squeaking, and telling the other slave to come and look... I really don't think he cared.

        

So the fun of torturing her is over. Oh well... I'm sure we can find another way....

      

Monday Bunday... on the ground level

We are perfectly happy, down here, on the floor.
             

            
I believe I will continue to drive the Mom crazy by refusing to climb the ramp. Lately she has started to put Jack up in the upper level... I can tell. I can smell her up there. I bet she's leaving little poops as if it's her own area. But it's not hers. It's mine. I just choose not to go up there.
                           

Sneaking up...

I decided to sneak to the second level in the middle of the sleeping time for Mom. But she caught me! I should have known. She always gets up at night to pet us and refill our hay.
                      

                 

I sat really, really still. I thought maybe she wouldn't see me, then I could sneak back down and she would continue to go insane. But she saw me. And got all squeaky, and took my picture.

             

Well, the joke is on her. I haven't gone back up since! Ha!

                    

Ahhh.... Friday!

We are so glad that it's Friday! We have a pretty tough life you know.
               

          

We work so hard sometimes it's hard to find the energy to even eat! Somehow, we manage...

             

Mom is still harping on us to try going to explore the other levels. We are still note sure. I guess that really intelligent animals, like rabbits, just don't adapt to change very quickly! She has bribed us with treats, and cajoled us, and even put Abbey up on the second level (! can you believe the indignity?!) but we won't go until we are good and ready!

                                       

Happy Friday!
