On a lighter note, I don't need to stop at the grocers for Italian Parsley tonight.

They are repotting the herb planters down at the Trade Nursery and Beau the manager brought the Italian Parsley up for my buns.

I have included the spare office chair for scale.... The current cost for a small bunch of italian parsley is about $1.59, whilst its going to seed on top the rest of the foliage is perfect long leafy stems all dark green and crunchy. I estimate I probably have about $70-$100 worth of parsley, if not a bit more.

I MAY have posted an intro thread a couple years ago when I only had Abigail, I honestly can't remember, haha. I mostly just stalk the forums but I keep thinking I ought to chat more since it's so much fun to talk to rabbit people, haha. =) I shall introduce myself briefly here then! I'm Emily, my bunny's are Abigail, Rorschach and Benji. They're all mini rex's. I've had Abigail for 2 years, Rorschach for 1 and Benji since June. =) They're all hilarious.

Prepare for photo bombing!

LBJ - Why is it you feel abandoned? If that's me butting my nose in where it doesn't belong feel free to ignore me.

Now, this will sound lame I'm sure, but I always try not to think of anything as a mistake per se. I think everything you do in life eventually leads you to where you need to be or gives you something you wouldn't have otherwise had, whether you see it at the time or not. So maybe graduate school is just a stepping stone to taking yourself somewhere else!

Hazel - Thanks! I'll let them know you think so!  Though their ego's are already fairly large from me telling them how cute they are all the time, haha. Benji is a tri colored mini rex actually!  The breeder I got him from specialized in the tri-color variety of mini rex's. All of his siblings were much more white with fewer speckles, so I just instantly fell in love with Benji the second I saw him. But I mean this is what he looked like the day I got him so there was no way one couldn't fall in love with him!

You're not being nosy. I've talked about this one here before, but if you haven't been around much then you might not know. So don't worry. It is hard not to feel abandoned when you get dumped as a TA and then your adviser basically says they don't want to be your adviser anymore. I guess graduate school itself may not have been a mistake, but graduate school at this particular location was definitely a mistake. I can't do much about it now though. I am all but thesis right now, there is no choice but to move forward.

Your bunnies are adorable by the way. I love the coloring.

LBJ - It's your advisers loss then! Maybe that's not a particularly helpful comment but you seem nice and ambitious so I'm certain that it's true. There are other advisers out there so maybe you'll find someone even better. Think of it this way, in the grand scheme of things, going to that specific location and this part of your life is only one small fraction of your life overall.

As I said, I think you'll get to where you need to be eventually.

And thanks! I think the coloring of my bunnies is gorgeous as well, especially Benji.  Speaking of, he recently arrived home after a long day at the vets, his neutering went very well and he's already eaten a bit and pooped so I'm excited! (..really never thought my life would come down to being excited about a rabbit pooping but there it is!)

Smudge is fine, she bounced back just a few hours after I posted about it... silly girl. I did give her simethicone and a tummy rub, so it was probably gas or something making her not eat. I slept on the floor with her that night, and she woke me up with binkies all over me lol.

 

 

Excellent news..... Was just about to add to the thread and ask how Smudge was doing.

Randomly going to hop into the conversation, mainly because that's just the most parsley I've ever seen! I keep imagining bunny's diving into it...though frankly mine would likely just make a hole in the side of the bag, tunnel in and then you'd just be able to slowly watch the parsley disappear into the bag, haha.

Hi Ravishing, My little blighters are divers... Pipi has nailed the perfect belly flop from a perch on the day bed 4 feet away square in the middle of the bag of stale hay, paper and poop. It's like a mission for them. Pepper does laps till she builds up speed and can get a clear flying leap at the bag. It would be thoroughly disgusting if it wasn't soo cute.
