The Boys Say Hello

For the ladies of Wyngate!

They love the lazy days when the sun is out.  They love a good tan!

A short story about Binker...David Kalonick found him in downtown Cincinnati some 9 years ago.  This rabbit just keeps on kicking!

This Is For Davi

I understand that Davi is not impressed with my beautiful chickens and that the goats don't excite him at all.  But he is in love with rabbits.

So here is our bunny named Binker.

Binker Hunkers Down

Not to worry about the rabbit, Binker is keeping low and warm in this snowy weather.

The only thing Binker needs help with is a frozen water bottle.  At least twice a day we need to thaw it out and add new water.  This weather is nothing for this pro.

Binker Screen Shots

Binker doesn't get much blog time.  He is camera shy.

I'll have to do some research to see just how old he is.  I know he is less that 11 years old.

He's a sweet boy and provided fertilizer for the flower beds.

There's Good News and Bad News

We lost RayJeana yesterday.  Weh I went out to let the girls out I found her.  Makes me so sad.  Now I only have one green/blue egg layer.  I guess I will figure out pretty soon if she is the one that has been laying the fairy eggs.  But I am going to guess it was RayJeana.

I freaked when I went to get him new water.  I was hoping he was still in the yard.  He was there last night when I checked on him.  Nope, not in his usual spot and not in his box.  Yelled for Luke next door to be on the lookout for Binker.  Luke has two dogs and they love to chase things. The girls and I begin to search the yard.  Found him over by the compost bins under the wagon.  Good boy!  Bur before I could get him he was gone and under the trailer.  Had to call in reinforcements (Michael and his stick).

It didn't take to long for me to grab him.  I was ever so thankful that he didn't squeeze under the fence and head for Betty Lane or worse, towards Skyler's house. (he ahs two dogs also)  Seems to be fine.  No blood or protruding bones and he still has his tail.

They Are Ready

Mark and I worked on the rabbit hutches today.  It is going to be really cold the next few days so I wanted to make sure they wouldn't freeze.  I gave them extra straw and their boxes are full of straw and fur.

Buns spends a lot of time outside the box while Binker gets all nestled in.  Binker's straw lasts longer because it doesn't get eaten...not like someone else we know.  That rabbit will eat you out of house and home.  Each night I try to remember to bring in their water bottles and sit them by the heat vent so they will be ready in the morning and not frozen.  Some days I do better than others.  Like right now i need to go get them.

Doing A Little Research

I got a message from one of the 'kids' that was in the youth group at Mt Washington Baptist when I was there.  Haven't seen her for years.  We have found each other on Facebook.  She is married now with two boys.  Gosh I am getting so old!  They are thinking seriously about getting a few feathered friends.

 

I'm thinking that they might have a little trouble with this one wanting to play with them all the time.

Josh had lots of questions and Mark and I had lots of answers.  I loved it that Josh had a paper and pencil so he could take notes.

Mark and I made sure that they rabbits had their nails clipped before they were out in the sun.  I finally got around to putting a piece of chicken wire between the two of them.  I do this because I don't think I need any little bunnies right now.

A little carrot treat for everyone.

Sitting pretty.

Does this cage make my butt look big.

Someone is trying to chew through to get to that greener grass on the other side.

Rethinking a plan of attack.

Maybe he can dig under?  Nope I think I fixed that too.

They have found a new dusting spot.  So glad that we made that really nice dusting bowl a few days ago.
