Temper tantrums

Tantrums before 8am on a Monday should be illegal.  This morning's drama revolves around our TV remote and Logan not being able to reach it on the couch. can we fast forward to Tuesday night?  I get my husband all to my self (Logan gets him too so I guess half to myself) for almost a week to celebrate our 4th (marriage) anniversary!  In October we will be celebrating 10 years of being together. Getting Elsa in four days. I'm pretty happy with how Bill is progressing here.. hopefully we can get Els to like the bunnies and vice versa. . I'm a little nervous on how it will work. That being said, on a side note I think I have the flesh eating disease because I keep getting bleeding scabs all around my eyes and this has been going on all month long.

Bill

We are doing the unthinkable. . We are fostering a rabbit. It has always been a taboo for us because we did not want to get attached knowing they would eventually be taken from us.. and we get attached quick to animals.  But that being said I know in my heart it is the best thing for this rabbit. He was found wandering around outside Allen Park High School and taken in by a very nice friend of Mark's Aunt's. She knew she couldn't keep him but kept him safe until someone could come along and give him a home. This guy is 9 months old and is some sort of himalayan, lion head angora mix. He has one ear that stands up and one that flops. Maybe 4 pounds max, if that. Not a skeleton but still could benefit from being fattened up. No real health concerns except he isn't neutered yet and should be.. He does not have fleas or ticks. We are guessing he is an Easter dump. Ie a couple of geniuses bought their brat a bunny for Easter and the brat got bored and parents didn't want to deal with the bunny themselves so they let him go into the wild where he belongs! Not. You almost just sentenced him to death. Total and complete utter waste of human beings. That's a rant for another time. But about Bill, (I named him Bill after True Blood Bill) he is very very sweet and docile. Laid back says it mildly.  He shows zero signs of aggression and almost seems zoned out or drugged because he is so chill. He ate hay and greens right away. Wasn't sure about the kibble but tried it and loves it. Went right in his pan to pee and since has continued to pee in his pan. Was pooping everywhere but the pan at first but after 8 hours or so is now going into pan to poop. I've picked up 2 isolated poops all day from his pen so that is just amazing.  Maybe is showing better habits than my 2 bunnies. We are going to bring him down to play later. I am really trying to not get attached.  We need another animal like a hole in the head. It's hard though.

Boxes

Logan received his Citrus Lane yesterday and for the first time since we started subscribing in March I did not have him open it himself. Care.com recently bought CL and I wondered if service would get better or worse and so far the quality of the products is still present but the packaging and care in putting together the boxes was unacceptable. It looked like Logan already ripped it open. There was only one thing for him in the box. The other 3 items were for me moreso so I didn't see a point of giving the box to him. The toy he got this month was very cute and he loves it so that's good. (At least) I also signed up with Petbox for Elsa, they had a great promo deal going on.. The small sub which is normally $9.95 monthly was on sale for $3.33. So I figured why not for three bucks. Yeah got that today and great quality but not worth spending $10 a month for one item when we are at petsmart once every 5 days or so..Miss Elsa can pick out her own toys there.  Here's pictures.

All of our pets are missing brain cells

It's a hay loft, Katniss. You eat the hay from underneath it. Sigh

Little helper

Here's a picture from yesterday- Lou helping me bake brownies

Morning laugh

Louie has a recent stuffed animal fetish. He has taken 2 of logans stuffed animals from our family room upstairs to our room and ripped at them on multiple occasions. This morning he went into Logans room and took a stuffed monkey off of his chair and brought it downstairs and ripped at it in the family room until Logan crawled over and took it from him. My stomach hurts from laughing. Here's pictures!

My new baby

Drop dead gorgeous bubblegum Dooney&Bourke arrived yesterday.  Drool.
