Jason...what you so quiet about....how's your van doing...made any changes on it here as of late? Got new brakes the other day on the car...and an new lug nut for the studded tires. I like them in winter...but they sure do tear up the roads. One more month and they can come off . Julie..I hit up the "diet" cocoa...and it's nice "hot" while I read my books. It's taken the hero of the book 3/4 of it to finally decide to go an rescue his friend in an possible time warp scenario...up until now he's been trying to gather as much information as he can about the area and people from the past that he might encounter while doing this. I should get done with reading this in just enough time for an quick February annual "roamance" novel. |

Can you imagine...17 baby bunnies one night completely "unexpected"...had it not been for our little dog making such an ruckus we would of never found them, and because we didn't know rabbits could do this... the nesting box wasn't there for her... so they were dropping through the cages onto the ground...we lost an lot of them that night...due to the night air. I sat there rubbing them in my hands trying to reivive them and my little dog was taking them out and sitting on them to warm them up also...while hubby was making an new clean change for them all and transferring the ones that were alive. Hairless they are born "naked' about the length of the small finger. We got things cleaned up and the mother and her brood into the house that night and things settled down....don't know we would of done had it not been for our little dog. You could say she saved many of them that night. Out of 17 of them we were able to save about an baker's dozen as they say, Of all animals, rabbits have the highest mortailty rates. Carmalita and Roger had such an special loving relationship and "mated" for life also. I learned an lot from them about "animals" in general. As they say..be prepared for anything...you never know at times what might happen unexpectedly. |

It means "rabbit land" as they roam wild over there and did in great numbers during Roman times of going through the area in conquest. |

This week we have had major problems with our internet connection being very erratic, sometimes the posts go through and other times it just stops. Very frustrating! |
