Misty and Julia have recovered very nicely from being spayed at the end of February, but I have a problem! Buddy, our little ladies' man, *really* does not like it that they have been fixed. Infact, I am afraid that he does not recognize them as females anymore! As far as he is concerned his two former girlfirends have decided to change gender to spite him. Needless to say, he is not very happy had has decided that the only thing there is left to do is to create a burrow out of Mommy's blankets at the foot of the bed and await the apocolypse.

Ok, I guess it is obvious to anyone who has been on the site recently that I *didn't* update on the 28th. Oops! School is just so crazy sometimes!! Well, anyways, this is what was happening on the 28th:
I have been trying without success to reintroduce Buddy and Julia, and Buddy is still as unforgiving as ever. I do not know what I am going to do with the little beasts! Julia has resumed her mission to China with renewed fervor and I am hardly allowed to sleep at night! (This is mostly a problem in the house with the girls since the Bunny Castle is in my bedroom.) I have since started banishing her to the bathroom at night so that I can sleep. Heavenly peace and quiet! Unfortunately, I have had a few real problems with Misty. She has become quite aggressive and, honestly, the stress of having three rabbits in three different cages in one room that is composed 50% furniture is starting to wear me down. The last straw came the other day when I was letting Mr. Butt hop around while I was cleaning out the cages. I was in the middle of cleaning Misty's littlerbox and trying to keep her inside her cage at the same time when she slipped past me. I should have immediately stopped her but in the 10 seconds that I gave her while I was trying to finish out the litterbox she ran to the other side of the room where Buddy was and started attacking him! By the time I had them back in their cages I realized that Buddy had been hurt, she had almost completely bitten a piece of his eyelid off! Oh my God, I was upset! I was able to clean his wound and it has since healed wonderfully, but I had finally reached the point where enough was enough. Misty is not a bad rabbit, but I just can't handle taking care of her in this situation! I am afraid that she has become too used to being an only bunny.
