Ella is not dominant she is clumsy

I was laying with Ella on my chest watching TV. This is a pretty common occurrence. Tonight, she started to slip and put a lot of pressure on my throat. Kevin swears it was a sign of dominating me. I am pretty sure something that cute was just a little clumsy.

Ella's New Vet

Like any good rabbit, Ella goes in for a physical once a year. This past Saturday marked her first day with a new vet. I cannot begin to tell you how unhappy I am with the service we received. Understandably, I only have her previous vet to compare to, but I am almost thinking the hour drive is worth it.

A list of what the vet did not do that I feel is standard:
Take her temperature
Request a stool sample
Check her teeth
Look at her underside

All the vet did do was a quick run over her body with her hands and weigh her. I made her look at her teeth (she recently chipped one); otherwise she would have blown right past this crucial step.

I will be paying another vet 40 more dollars. I am happy and confident Ella is in good health but I want a vet I trust before Ella gets sick. Cheers to the hunt for the new one.

Sweet Ella

This one of my favorite pictures of Ella, she is so sweet.

Spring flowers and bunnies don't mix?

It is about the time of year when flowers start to push through the earth and show their spring colors. If you are planting or bringing in house plants to a place your rabbit plays it is important to be mindful of what plants are toxic to your hopping pals.

The following lists a few of the more common plants your bunny should not eat. Take a more complete look here.



All Lilies
Chrysanthemum
Crocus
Cherry Trees
Clematis
Daffodil (bulbs)
Daisy
Delphinium
Geranium
Gladiola
Hydrangea
Ivy




There are really quite a few. Those are just some I might have in my home. It really is best to check the list.


This is not to say do not own these plants, just be sure and closely monitor your bunny when they are near the plants. It is best to just keep the buns away from them.

Ella stars as Lorlai Gilmore

For those of you interested in the Gilmore Girls, Ella, Bailey, and Kevin's attempt at you tube fame, this video is for you. Last summer he spent many of his minutes choosing a scene, shooting and editing this video, and of course, posting it. It is pretty cute, I am guessing it is Ella.

Silly Ella playing her games

Ella was downstairs playing with her tube. I simply had to share some of the pictures!

The coolest Yak article

I love the Yak section of the Detroit Free Press. It is a section of the paper written specifically for children and on topics that would interest them. Recently, the topic also interested me.

The Yak, mascot of the section, went to visit the Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary. He helped with all the chores, tended to sick bunnies, played with healthy ones, and toured all the areas of the facility.

It is such a great piece, there is video and it is incredibly adorable. If you need a cute fill I highly suggest you watch and enjoy.
