Did I forget to mention I dress my rabbits up? Well, I do. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people that goes all out and buys designer clothes for their pets. All though my rabbits do have a more intricate wardrobe than some people I know. I pick up dog clothes from the dollar store or when some are on sale. I've never spent more than five dollars on one item. Except that time I insisted Buster needed a red leather spiked collar..then she turned out to be a girl.
Anyways, Halloween is no exception for me to dress them up. Last year Buster was a bumble bee (with wings and the whole deal) and Spotz was a lobster. I got thier costumes for around three dollars a piece, originally sixteen dollars at PetSmart. I decided while I have a few minutes in between classes I would go to PetSmart's website and look at a few costumes. I have to buy "dog costumes" because they don't sell "rabbit costumes", but they fit just the same.
Now that I'm older I don't find to much excitement in dressing up for Halloween. Dressing up my rabbits is excitement enough.
Ahahaha. I've decided that I HAVE to get this costume for Spotz. It's the cutest, funniest costume I've came across. Now I haven't came across one for Buster on the website. There isn't a wide selection of ones for girl pets out there.
I'm definitely going to go to PetSmart within the next few days to purchase that basketball player costume and I'm sure I'll find one for Buster. I'll be posting pics of them in there costumes next time.

Life is never dull.
Sunday is usually my only day off without school or work. So I tend to stay out late the night before, 4 or 5 am. Which means I don't wake up until after 12 or 1 pm. I enjoy being able to do this since it seems all my life consists of is running to school or work these days. My mother comes barging in my room a little after nine a.m. on sunday yelling about something. Of course she knew I just went to sleep a few hours before, but doesn't seem to care.
This next part may seem a little gross, but it's a big part of the story.
After I fully open my eyes and am able to partly digest what she is saying. I realize that she discovered her dog has a tapeworm. Which means more than likely my rabbit Buster has one, because they play together. They also spend a lot of time outside in the same area. So if one of them came in contact with another's feces, there's no doubt they both have it. I didn't even know a rabbit could get a tapeworm, considering there digestive systems can't handle much.
My mother is like an expert on this now. Seeing as she takes the dog out at six something in the morning, and came in my room at nine. She's been researching this topic for a few hours, I'm sure.
We don't know if the dog or rabbit got it first. They both spend a fair amount of time outside, and come in close contact with each other. They could have picked it up from fleas that ate a tapeworm egg, tapeworm eggs in the grass, anything.
Of course, I scheduled an appointment with Buster's vet, so they can determine if she has a tapeworm. Which is hard to determine. Who knew that a rabbit that cost six dollars that was being sold for someone to buy as part of there easter dinner, would be such a big part of my life and cost so much to take care of?

hmm...
I am already running out of things to say about rabbits. Last night however I put buster outside to run around. I put her in the dogs kennel, because he wasn't in there. She usually can never get out because it has four feet tall fencing. So after I locked her in there I left to run to the store, knowing I would be back in twenty minutes. Well I got a call from my mother while I was gone. Saying that Buster had got out. She somehow figured out how to flip the latch over on the gate because the door was open and she was gone. My mother was waiting outside in the backyard for her to come back and trying to look for her. Both of these things are pretty hard considering it was getting dark out and when do rabbits run away and come back? When I got home though, my mother had buster in her cage in the house. She said that right after she got off the phone with me Buster came running through the backyard and was trying to hide underneath her hutch. Which is her big wooden outside cage that she stays in, in the summer. Somehow my mom got ahold of her. She was only gone for about fifteen minutes. I don't know where she went, but she seems okay now. I'm just surprised she came back. I don't know what I would do without these rabbits sometimes..
