it's been a long time

It has been so long since my last post and lots of stuff has happened since then. Romeo is doing great, of course. I'll update with the major events that happened throughout my absence from the blog!

First off, I have great excuses for not posting! First it was school, finals, broken laptop, then my internet was down for a week. Finally I have found time to update! The picture on the left is my mom and my failed plan to protect the window sill. We covered it in aluminum foil and pinned it down with thumbtacks. It did NOT work. Romeo only pulled at it and now it's a huge mess that we're too lazy to clean up. Good news though, Romeo doesn't chew there anymore, haha!

This is a fleece baby blanket my mom bought for
me to sit on next to Romeo. The tile is very cold. :) It now serves multiple purposes like catching stray hay and even bundling up Romeo! See how cute he is? :D




Romeo also has gone outside many times! At first he flattened out too scared to take a step but he started exploring after a few trips. Our enclosed patio is now one of his favorite places to play. In addition, he started to explore the rest of the house. He now has access to whatever place he wants to go! Of course, however, he only can venture out during his playtime. :)


The most exciting update of all is his new buddy, Apricot. She's a pretty tan bunny that we adopted at LPS three weeks ago. At first she was too skinny but she's healthy now... :) Suzi took her in from a shelter because the other bunnies picked on her. She had tiny nips all over. It's healed, and she's doing well. The most important thing, though, is how she and Romeo don't exactly belong together... At first, she would sniff Romeo's bunny butt and try to nip him in order to establish dominance and Romeo simply took it like the gentlebunny he is. :) But after a while, he grew tired of her picking on him and decided to fight back! They engaged in several bouts resulting in a bleeding nose in Romeo and two large tufts of fur fallen from Apricot. Poor bunnies. Another thing is that Apricot is not well litter trained! Suzi says that her peeing everywhere is simply her way of saying she's boss. It's a huge pain though, especially to my mom. After a long time of decision making, we decided to swap her in for a different, mellower bunny who might not lunge at Romeo! If all goes according to plan, we'll be visiting LPS next week. I'm slightly sad though because I really really like Apricot. She's really sweet.
The pictures are of when Romeo and Apricot were doing really great together. After Romeo started fighting back there was no more grooming to be seen.
