Trinket’s blog~ Those who dealt it smelt it!!
Well Kiddies…
T out in the garden getting her seeds planted for tasty salad!
Daddy is convinced I am getting stronger on my new diet. I have been doing lots of push up lately so I’m trying to keep up my biceps!! The slippery elm diet seems to be doing me some good and I’m no longer scared of the syringe so the feedings are going well again. My mushy cecals had cleared up for a bit but they are back to being very mucky and squishy and very gross and very very stinky!! EWW, I think they’d rival Gracie’s!! so Mamma is takin me off the Pedialyte and extra juice in my slurry recipe and we are going back to wetting everything down with just my ginger tea, Mamma is worried the extra sugars are screwing things up. I’m getting lots of water and tea into me with my meals so we don’t have to worry about dehydration.
The bad thing about the icky cecals is that I got a nasty infection which has inflamed my lady business, Owwie, its not nice and I’m not very happy about this. I woke up with this burning feeling this morning, thankfully we are going to the vet again today so I guess I’ll be back on the needle
What a cwappy way to start the day, but I had to have a butt bath, but things are feeling a bit better now so I guess I won’t be too cranky about it.
So things have been very busy here this weekend. Daddy has been home since Friday and will be home at least a few more days, he’s getting some major work done on his big truck and I got to ride to Owen Sound with him yesterday when he took it to the shop. I like to ride on the bed in the back its very comfy, way better than Mamma’s truck!! hehe I know I’m spoilt!
Anyway I’m getting off track here. Years ago when B and Minnie came to live here Mamma and Daddy designed and made this lush and beautiful Victorian garden just for them. It was all fenced in with two little gates and there were big bushy perennial plants to hide and dig around and four raised beds for growing veggies. Mamma and Daddy would work together out there while the bunnies ran their bunny 500s and binkied through the freshly seeded beds, it was very wonderful. But then Daddy had to go trucking and he was never home and Mamma got real sick one year and then they opened Mamma’s gallery and she had to work every weekend and then B and then Minnie died so its been over 4 years since the garden had any bunny visitors or any love and attention. It became more wild and overgrown and the snakes took it over too so Mamma was too afraid to ever go out there to try and bring it back. Its sad too cause a few of our first family members that passed on are buried out there under a rose bush.
Well for two years Mamma has been hounding Daddy to help her do something about it, so when Bella and Pepper sent me the seeds he finally said OK lets “get er done!!” hehe so since Saturday they have been out there working at it. Now Mamma has had to come running into the house a few times cause of some unwanted visitors!! LOL, one time Mamma picked up the shovel and almost picked up a baby fox snake that hiding under it cause it was so cold, she jumped 4 feet off the ground and started doing the River Dance all the way to the house!! Then Daddy saw a big garter snake and that sent her back into the house again!! Then yesterday the baby fox snake had made its way back to the garden after Daddy had relocated already, this time Mamma screamed and manged to float up into the air as she flew to the house!! hehe I was laughin until I realized she took off without ME!! Sure thanks Mamma, run afraid for your life but leave the little crippled bunny to fend for herself!!
Well actually Daddy was there to defend me and I hear it was so cold that little snake couldn’t have done me, any harm but I didn’t want him coming around me for warmth that’s for sure!!
Anyway I got to plant my seeds with some help from our crazy dogs! Actually they were pretty good, Mato licked me on my back feeties and seemed to know I was different so they just watched over me really once they got over the initial excitement of having me out in the garden with them. Oh one funny thing, Mamma has posted some pics of this on my profile album. hehe Mamma was holding me and Mato was there routin on me and suddenly there was this horrible stink and Mamma holds me up lookin at me with the goofiest look on her face wondering if I let something go in my diaper or what the heck!! hehe then the next photo she got a clue and she is staring at the dog with a look of sheer disdain and the dog is giving her the same look back all the while I’m staring at Daddy utterly horrified they could possible think I could smell like that! Had she not ever heard the saying, “those who dealt it smelt it!!”?
I even got to supervise Daddy while he was diggin up the sod that had taken over the raised beds. Mamma put me down in the bed and I managed to crawl right over to Daddy and took a nose dive right off the end of the sod into the freshly turned earth. Its a good thing I had my diaper on and my Tshirt so I didn’t get so dirty
So today will be a busy day, we got to go to the vet and I hear we’ll be visiting a garden centre and the grocery store so I guess there won’t be any work on the garden today but its coming along. The old broken fence has been almost all torn down and most of the surviving perennials have been dug up and transplanted to one of the raised bed so the perimeter will be mowed down leaving it just an open space except for the rose arbor and the big patch of decorative grass that will soon start to come up again. Its not going to be anything close to what it was in its prime, but the at least the wildness will be held back a bit with the lawn mower anyway and Mamma will able to maintain the raised bed on her own or with Daddy’s help so hopefully the snakes will move on now that their home has been turned on its end.
Well that all that is new here, I’m still in the game!! xox T
Smoochies!!
