Barnaby Update
It has been just over 3 weeks ago since we rescued Barnaby after he was thrown from a car in a stapled shut Macys bag. WOW, this bun thinks the world owes him, or at least he is trying to make Chuck and I think so! Barnaby is one of the best rabbits I have ever known. He is so very sweet and friendly, adores being petted, and just loves to hang out in the Living Room with us. He is fascinated by the fireplace, in fact, the first couple times we let him out into the room, we were afraid he was going to try to jump in, OH MY! We think he now understands that the fire is for looks, not play, but what a silly rabbit. When I let him out and the fireplace is not on, he runs over to it, looks bewildered, then looks at me with a
"hey, what's the deal, where's the warm orange thing?" look on his face.
Barnaby's hormones have really settled down after his neuter we are pleased to announce. This little fart could be persistent on checking out your leg from time to time! He will still occasionally buzz but that is all.
Barnaby is still deaf, though sometimes we question whether he can now hear low pitched sounds or whether it is just the vibration. We will continue to monitor his hearing as we continue the ear drops and anti-inflammatory medicine. He will go back to the vet in a couple weeks for a recheck on his ears. But, Barnaby could care less that he can't hear and is not easily startled like many buns with hearing difficulties. We are very grateful.
Barnaby does not seem to have a care in the world, well maybe one: I WANT OUT OF MY PEN TO PLAY MOM, THUMP!
