Sherry, Post-Spay

Sherry’s back from the vet!

This is how the surgery site looks like:

Sherry was on the e-collar at first but she didn’t like it.

I’ve since removed the e-collar.

The surgery site appears to be itching, and it’s making Sherry rather uncomfortable. She keeps jumping up suddenly, scampering around to get at the itch.. so much so it’s preventing her from getting good rest. The vet suggested applying medicated powder around her tummy to ease the itch.

Meanwhile, to prevent Sherry from fussing too much with the surgery site, I’ve covered it with sterile gauze and wrapped some bandage around the gauze and her tummy. I’ve also covered the pin which holds the bandage together with some masking tape, just in case she manages to get the pin out.

Once Again

Once again, a furry one matures..

Once again, a visit to the vet is called for..

This time, it’s Sherry’s turn to be spayed. She has to fast from 10pm tonight and will be dropped off at the clinic tomorrow morning for her surgery.

By now, I’ve sent my bunnies for a total of 6 surgeries.. yet I still feel equally nervous each time. Here’s hoping hard everything goes smoothly for Sherry tomorrow and that she’ll back to her hyperactive self in no time

Off to the Groomer’s

Someone’s in need of some serious grooming!

Sherry Berry, very hairy

Here she is after the groomer finished with her..

Sherry Berry, no more hairy

Sherry’s new haircut makes her look so much more mature.. regal, even!

The groomer didn’t trim her eyelashes, which I thought was a nice touch.

Now she looks ultra-feminine with those long, fluttery lashes..

Anybody need a model for a mascara ad? We won’t charge exorbitant fees, maybe just enough for me to buy a sprawling house by the beach and retire there

Critter Overload

As of last weekend, the critter headcount here jumped from 4 to 9!

Yes, we have newcomers.. No, I didn’t go on a critter-shopping frenzy

My dear friend, D, is having her first baby very soon and I’m watching her furry ones for a month or so while D adjusts to the fur-less addition.

These are D’s bunnies, Tridus (left) & Tinga (right):

I babysat Tridus ages ago when he was a single bun and here he is now with a wife of his very own! They’re such a loving couple, snuggling next to each other all the time.

And then there are the chinchillas..

This beautiful pair is Yuffie and her daughter, Echo:

I can’t tell them apart, they look so alike!

Mommy, I missch yoo!!

This handsome guy is Whiskey, Echo’s dad:

Sherry has never seen chins before and couldn’t stop barking at them, so in to the bunny room went the chins.

Buttons & Yohji, meanwhile, have been busy welcoming the chins with generous puddles of pee and piles of poo! Where are your manners, bunnies??

Model in the Making

Sherry’s exploring a new career path. Here she turns an average box into a stylish piece of head gear:

What d’you think?

Top model material?

Dear Blogspot Friends

I haven’t forgotten any of you! I’ve been trying daily to leave you comments but it seems that Blogspot has something against that. I keep getting error messages..

Buttons graciously volunteered her mighty bunny ears, transmitting signals to all friends worldwide, letting them know that we’re thinking of them and will be in touch whenever Blogspot allows us to

When the task gets too arduous, Buttons and Yohji combine forces for maximum signal strength!

Bailey will sit this one out..

Ye of little ears shall refrain from partaking in this strenuous exercise, lest thy little ears overheat and shrink further!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! It’s good to be back, I’ve missed all of you!

BACK!

The Furrybutts are back after the looooong blog break!!

How time flies. We’ve taken nearly a year off from blogging and what a busy year it has been.

The bunnies & I have moved to a new place. Buttons & Yohji have a room all to themselves now:

Bunny Room. Proceed with caution!

Although there are still moments where they bicker, the bunny love is still strong between these two

Bailey lives in the living room. Attempts at bonding all three have failed miserably. Buttons is intent on pulling out every single strand of fur from Bailey. While Yohji was neutral at first, he started to attack Bailey after observing how Buttons behaved towards Bailey. What a couple of thugs!

Bailey is a real angel of a bunny.

He had free roam of the entire place initially but he never wandered more than a few feet from his area. If I tried to put him in another area of the apartment, he’d frantically find his way back to his box. I noticed that he also hardly came out of his box, except to eat and to use his toilet.

Now, thanks to a newcomer, Bailey is back in his play pen setup and he seems more comfortable with that. He ventures out of his box more often and today, for the first time, I found him binkying away in his litter box!

And what is this newcomer business about, you may ask.

Well.. so much for stopping at 3 bunnies. There is now a puppy in the house!!

Say hi to Sherry, everyone! She’s also known as Sherry Berry, Monster and Peeg (as in ‘pig’ because she used to vacuum up her kibbles at lightning speed but thankfully she’s slowed down a lot now).

Needless to say, the bunnies aren’t pleased at all with having a dog around! And since Sherry’s still a playful pup, she’s not allowed near the rabbits just in case she hurts them accidentally.

There’s loads more to tell, but I’ll save that for future posts Stay tuned for more!
