Troubles Brewing

this could be the end. my human brought home a sheep magazine!!!!!!!! why i ask, why? she said she's just looking. thats what she said about the rabbit book and poultry book. she doesn't need sheep. she doesn't need wool. she can't knit anything but squares and rectangles. i think i have fifty scarves!! see once she gets an idea it becomes a purchase. thankfully right now she can't have anything cause we live in a shoebox. but oh dear if they ever get out of here she will act. this must be stopped. i must be the most majestic thing here. not that im worried about some dumb sheep but ive heard her ooh and ahh over those darn lambs. oh no, i just remembered, her owner got her a big stuffed sheep from tsc(tractor supply company) for christmas. that was a sign, i just know it!! there are fiber goats but she said they aren't colored enough. i hardly call brown, tan, black and white colors. sounds more like a chunk of dirt to me with a little tar and paper mixed in. i must do something about this, but what?

Yummy Bunny

i wish i had pictures. my human ended up killing another one yesterday cause she decided one rabbit wouldn't feed everyone. she did much better at butchering that one. i figured out what is making her gag. it's the guts. they kind of stink. anyway the two buns were roasted with bacon on them. they came out tender and good. i didn't know they were white meat. pretty neat. even the legs were white. i understand why people pay so much for rabbit dinner now. so i guess that is the first and only success here at the hobby farm of death. for those of you who have tried wild rabbit and did not like it then you should try the home raised kind.

Fierce Killer

it's official, my human is a fierce killer. she decided to butcher one of the rabbits. now she has never done this before but said she needed the practice. don't they make fake rabbits for this? guess not. so out she went with her tools of cutting. i watched from the window as i was afraid she might decide a goat would be a better practice animal. it was disgusting!!! she cut the head off and tossed the bloody thing to the dog. just picture a bloody rabbit head flying through the air. she doesn't have an axe so someone please send her an axe so it doesn't take so long to get the head off. oh don't worry the rabbit was already dead during this part. maybe a really sharp butcher knife would work. yeah send her one of those. so anyway the head is off and bunny is hung to bleed out. she came in and sat down during this part. i looked for signs that she was crazy but she seemed rather calm. maybe that's the craziness. i don't have a problem with her doing this, i'm just afraid she will move on to bigger things. anyway she went back out to finish the job. it took forever it seems for her to skin it. of course her sick little kids wanted to help. aren't little girls supposed to be squeamish? not these two. her 4yr old loved it. i think she is the one i need watch out for. anyway she got it skinned and next came the gutting. did i mention she has no idea what she is doing. well the kids wanted to know what everything was so she stood there going over the parts. i didn't know rabbits had so many guts! nasty. i saw my human step away at one point. i think she was going to puke. then she started cutting and pulling and then it was done. she sent in a kid to tell her owner she was coming in with the carcass so he would be warned. then she came in and washed it, tossed it in a pan of salt water and put it in the fridge. in the meantime the girls were running around outside with rabbit fur. at least they washed their hands. so i guess we're having roast rabbit for dinner tonight. maybe i shouldn't have watched. i wanted to take pics but my human said no cause she probably didn't cut the legs right and doesn't want the whole world to see it. she did seem to be on some sort of high and said she wondered if hunting was as great. a high from killing? i think i should be concerned. i heard her say she can't wait to do the next one and then a goat!!!! nooooooooooooo! can't she just stick with rabbits? well she will need a bigger setup than she has right now to be able to do a goat so i have some time. i suppose there is one good thing to come from all of this.........if the world ever goes to crap then at least i know the human can feed us. yep we'll be eating rabbit, duck, chicken, and goat while everyone else is starving! ya know people pay high prices to eat duck and rabbit at a restaurant and here i am eating it for free. well no duck yet but i heard them talking about one for christmas if the ducks lay eggs in time. so i guess living with poor people isn't so bad.

Goodbye Floppy

one of our humans favorite rabbits, her french lop, floppy got sick saturday. our human did everything she could for her but by sunday evening she was so bad that the human decided to end her suffering. poor bunny. poor human. she is hoping none of the other rabbits get it but already two of floppy's babies have died from the same thing along with all of lilly's. sorry human we know it was tough. floppy was a fine girl.

Lylah is Getting Closer!

well lylah got her bigger mama cage. she is building her nest. they sure can carry alot of stuff in their little mouths. she was trying to build it in the goat crate but everytime the goat got put back the nest would get destroyed. after a couple days she seems to have accepted her fate that she will be building her nest in the nest box. she is due any day. you can see the babies moving around when she is laying on her side. we can't wait to see what they look like. i hope they like me as much as their mommy does.

Me and Lilly!

i am the only one she is nice to. she doesn't like the other rabbits anymore. my human hopes that is because she is pregnant. she used to be nice to the other girl bunnies. i don't care about them. i'm just glad she still lets me cuddle with her.
