I will miss you, Ken Ken!

Once a year I leave for Japan for a month or so for holiday.

But this year, I will leave for almost 5 months.

I'm going back to prepare for the delivary of our first human-baby.

So, my rabbit baby Kenshiro will be taken care by my husband for all these months.

It's a long long time.

I will miss her very much.

I pray that she will be well and healthy till my return next year.

Her right-eye has been tearly for a month.

I should have taken her to the vet.

It may be infected. I pray that it will heal itself very quickly.

So coincidently, our baby will be a rabbit- boy/girl, since s/he is born in the year of rabbit 2011.

Then Kenshiro will be her/his elder sister:)

Taking refuge

It's been a hot summer, with the highest temp. rising to 33 or 34 degree everyday.

Since I'm home most of the time, I leave the air-con on.

When I go out for a few hours, sometimes I still leave it on for Kenshiro,

to save my worries while I'm out.

It's a discovery that when there are less people, air-con works better.

Even too much, I suppose.

Because I often find Kenshiro taking refuge in her cottage while she's home alone.

The wind from the air-con hits under the sofa directly after bouncing the wall.

It's a good thing about having your rabbit roaming around the house freely, because she/he can move to wherever suits her/him. If she's confined to her cage, she could have been frozen.

Now she's shedding her fur.

I wonder if she's becoming a winter rabbit due to the air-con, or becoming a late summer rabbit...

Peach- New LOVE

This summer, the wet market just across our block has beautiful peaches, 2 for $10!

So, we've been enjoying them and so has Kenshiro.

It's her first year for tasting it and she has no hesitation from the start.

Kenshiro: Yum Yum... my first peach...What a waste of last 4 years(!)

Cherry - LOVE

Kenshiro: OH? I know this one. Red and round, and juicy...

Can I have one? (or more?)

Okie...another easy

defeat to Kenshiro's "Give me Give me" pleadge.

Just like "The Mitten".

The other night, I was testing the level of Kenshiro's desire for the dry pellet.

Yes, she does what she otherwise wouldn't do.

Here, she got herself into the box of Kerogg's corn flakes.

Suddenly it reminded me of my child-hood favorite story, "The MITTEN"

It was about various animals of the forest wanting to get into the abandoned mitten in the snow.

So many animals got in squashed that the mitten's seem on the side was almost ripped apart.

The animal that was in the centre of all faces was a brown hare.

Sun bathing

I mentioned that Kenshiro seldom closes her eyes during her nap.

Well, this is the rare moment... still not completely closed, and her ears up in alert though...

At her safest haven

Kenshiro is generally a very nervous/timid rabbit.

She gets shocked by any little sound or sudden movement.

She often get panicked by ....nothing much.

So we seldome see her sleeping flat, or with her eyes completely closed.

I've seen some rabbits, (especially lop-ear bunnies) completely losing themselves in their deep sleep. I really hope one day she will know that there is nothing for her to afraid of at home.

Only one place where she's seen relaxed, streching very long is under the sofa.

It's her safest haven.

So, even if we move (We may move after our first human baby's arrival, if God provides for us),

I must secure this safest haven of hers.
