Hoppy New Year
We’re spending a low-key, relaxed night at home for New Year’s eve. Had the chance to grab this photo of the bunnies, and decided it would be good to share.
Hoppy New Year, everyone!

Liz and Daisy
Daisy has been struggling a bit more, lately. She still can get around, but her leg isn’t as strong anymore… and she sometimes spins in circles. And sometimes has difficulty getting herself upright.
Daisy Leg
Daisy’s been struggling a bit more, lately. She’s had some trouble with arthritis, and tends to favor one leg over the other… but lately, she’s been having difficulty moving around. In a few instances, she’s fallen over and hasn’t been able to right herself.
Daisy Nap
Whenever Liz and I spot a bunny sleeping really hard (or even flopped over), we’ll refer to it as someone being “hard down.” And this is a great example of Daisy being hard down.
Bunnies, Relaxing
Look at those gams. Just look at them.
Daisy, Dreaming
Caught a few moments on video, when I realized Daisy was sleeping and dreaming. Look at those ear twitches!
Daisy’s been getting on, and her age is starting to show. But I hope that in her dreams, she’s still the same, young, spirited bunny she was when we first met her.
Landing Wall, Prep
Measuring once, cutting twice. Wait… strike that. Reverse it.
Daisy Cleaning
We gave Daisy a bit of a cleaning today. She’s had some fur matting near her behind, and along her legs. So we made a makeshift bath, and got to addressing her hindquarters a bit.
We were able to comb some of the area out, but also cut a lot of matted fur as well. And also gave her a nail trim to boot.
Holiday Tunnel
Liz broke out the new bunny tunnel that we got as a gift, from Katie and Tim. Hugo was pretty wary at first, but eventually wandered in and got to exploring.
Daisy Falls Asleep in My Hand
The audio is tough, so you’ll really need to turn things up a lot to hear it. But I think you can catch just a little bit. At the end, she wakes up and pulls away… but it’s still a win to me, because I got to hold her as she was sleeping. Just for a little bit.
Hugo’s First Vet Visit
Liz and I went together with the bunnies to Ness Exotics. Both were there to get a vaccination shot for a particularly scary disease, that has officially cropped up in Illinois: Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease.
Bunny Close Up
Hugo is a pretty chill rabbit, but it’s always funny to remember just how sizable he is (especially compared to Daisy). I feel like those ears could pick up stealth bomber activity, over the Eastern seaboard.
Double Gams
Spotted both bunnies, stretched out and relaxed. Liz and I were both remarking: “Check out those gams!”
Daisy, Flowers
Daisy has had some “problems” with her hind area, for a while now. Things have gotten a bit out of hand, and tonight we decided to give her a bit of a span night. Mostly, this involved an old litter tray, some warm water, and a butt bath.
As you can imagine, she wasn’t quite happy with us.
Visiting the Vet with Daisy
In the waiting area. I don’t know what’s funnier – the cover of “Modern Cat,” or the fact that the dog magazine is called “drool.”
