Tomorrow morning is Pfeffer's neutering day. He still doesn't know about it. Well, I hope it's a neutering day because if it becomes a spaying day, I'll have to come to terms with having a daughter instead. How exactly is a worried mommy supposed to concentrate on writing her eight-page take home final and a lengthy paper when she is so anxious about her baby bun's upcoming hospital trip? I'm pretty sure that my prof would not take pet surgery as an excuse though. Right now Shay is tempting me away from work with promises of a Mario Party gaming session.

Yesterday, Joey and I went for a walk to the park to see the bunny pen. There was a handful of baby bunnies inside! They must have been born about three weeks ago. They're so tiny. I fell in love about 100 times over, especially with this little one who was white and butterscotch coloured. I decided her(?) name was Frappuccino. I want to borrow a butterfly net and scoop her up so I can bring her home and have Pfeffer love her. Next time I go to the park, I plan on bringing a camera so I can take pictures of all the adorable rabbits.

I get to wake up bright and early, if I sleep at all tonight, so Pfeff can get to the hospital between 7:30 and 8:00. As worried as I will undoubtedly be tomorrow, I am going to take advantage of the Pfeffer-less time and add the second level to his house so he can have something nice to come home to. I hope he eats and leaves his stitches alone. I went to a different grocery store than I usually do and they had a supply of dandelion greens which are Pfeff's favourites. I've been looking for a bunch for the past couple of months and I was thrilled to find some. Pfeff gobbled some straight out of the grocery bag!

So I've realized that my writing has centred around my bunny for the past few posts. I don't mind at all! If it bores you, you can quit reading about my life as a slave to the urban rabbit. I did eat the ears off of my gold lindor bunny today and they were tasty. I wish I could give Pfeff some chocolate but that would just make him sick. I hope you are all reaping the benefits of the Easter goodies that are now on sale whether or not you celebrated. As for me, I suppose I should get back to work.

[update] So, as of right now (10am), Pfeff is at the hospital. I cried when I left him there. More later.
[update] I got a call from the vet around 1:30 letting me know that Pfeff woke up after the surgery and he seems to be doing just fine. I can pick him up in a couple hours.
[update] Pfeff is home and he seems to be okay. I was told his incisions were "oozing" a little and to keep an eye on them but he is otherwise fine. He's hopping around and eating so I'm not too worried. He's not allowed to exercise for 10 days until his stitches get taken out. I'll have to phone my mom and get her to make an appointment with a bunny vet back home. I'm so happy that my baby is doing well. He's my little boy!
