Middle School Talent Show

Ruth auditioned for the middle school talent show but they only took 15 of the 50 acts that auditioned and she didn't make it.  She did however, perform in the talent show with the cast of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. They performed the title song, and it was fun to see a sneak peak of the show. It's amazing to me that these are just 13-15 year olds and how well they do.  The performances will be May 1-3 and it's free. 

Sick Summer

Our bunny, Summer, came down sick this weekend.  She had a GI problem which can be fatal for rabbits. Once we discovered her sick and lifeless, we brought her back inside and periodically throughout the day we'd rub her belly and keep her moving.  It was a scary couple of days as she would lay, open eyed, on the couch (bunnies sleep with eyes open).  But luckily she kept drinking water and eventually took a turn for the better.  As of this morning she is back to her old self. It's tricky with bunnies because they are prey animals, so they don't show they are sick until they are very sick.  Even now, she seems 100% but I'm keeping a close eye on her.   Another bad bi-product of her illness is that Summer is also shedding her winter coat, so our whole house is now covered with a layer of bunny hair.

So glad Summer is doing well. My sister-in-law stupidly got her 8 and 4 year old bunnies for Easter - there should be a law against it - and one of the bunnies didn't even last a week. She acted out it's last few moments for us and it sounded pretty traumatic. But since I know Summer is a family pet and has had and given much love over the years, that would have been much worse.
