Well I thought I'd start a thread so we could all keep up with what's going on in our lives.
Today Connie (7) learned to ride a "proper" bike. We're so proud! Dan (9) and Chris (10) haven't grasped it yet - Chris has a disability in his arm that makes his balance poor, and Dan just can't be a*sed while he's got his scooter *lol*.
I've applied for a college course starting in September - an Access to HE course in Health to get me onto a degree. I think I've decided to go for a nursing degree/diploma after that. There's no future in veterinary nursing for me now (which is what I used to do) so time to move on to different pastures. I'm pooing my pants about going back to school, but let's wait and see if I'm accepted first *lol*.
Hope you're all well and enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend!

More news for you. Spent over an hour chasing an escapee bunny up and down the road. Finally caught *him* (kids belonging to owner said it was a boy) and delivered him home to find out they don't want him/her. They're bringing her hutch along later, but I imagine if it's a petshop one we'll be having to build a MUCH larger one for her, as she's a very very big rabbit. Pretty sure she's a girl because of the dewlap, but will be sexing properly when she's calmed down from the excitement.

Wow, who would just let a "tame" bunny free to fend for itself? That's just so horrible.

Well to top it off, the selfish gits never brought the hutch. Sent my son up the road to ask one of the kids what was happening - mum had gone out on the town with her mates. I'm going to go up and ask for it later, but in the meantime we're constructing a temporary shelter out of a huge dog crate, cat carrier for shelter, groundsheet and bits and bobs. I've posted on freecycle for a temporary hutch, and next week when we get paid we'll see if we can't fashion her a palace out of a shed or playhouse or similar. Or of course see if we can find a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft hutch (but I think from looking online the shed would actually be cheaper, and it'd be a mansion for her!).

Bit more of an update - she is now called Lola, because she started off as a boy and turned out to be a girl (you young 'uns might not get it).

LMAO what does it matter what breed she is, or any rabbit is? She's a rabbit, anything else is immaterial *lol*. It's funny because so many people have suggested what breed she might be or mix or what have you, and I was quite amazed to be honest how wrapped up people get in it, like a rescue rabbit might turn out to be "worth" more. She's a rabbit, she's already the best rabbit in the world. Besides, she couldn't possibly be full NZ anyhoo because of her colour. That's racism for you

I agree with you, i think it is rather sad that people get so caught up with having to have the 'best, biggest, prettiest, highest pedigree' of animal and even sadder that people feel the need to make comment on a poor little creature that has had a very bad start in life. Well done for saving her, she is absolutle stunning, short ears or not . I do, however, still think you should go with the name Martha

I'm not saying i do care if shes pedigree or not, i just enjoy guessing ;D
My Mike is a 'moggy' bit of everything lop, lol and Felix is a pedigree, hes a Rex but we only popped to the petshop to get Mike a companion and i just fell in love with him there and then, although hes not my friend atm, since being neutered he put on a ton of weight, rofl so hes on a diet and being moody, hehe
