Some of you may have read the tale of the little blue nethie with the big ears. - unwanted by a breeder because his ears were too big :roll: and offered as "free to a good home". Not that it was checked whether my home was a "good" one, but anyway, he is currently residing at Chez Anderson. He struggled like mad when the bloke picked him up and put him in my carrier, but he was absolutely good as gold when I took him out at this end - do they know that someone is trying to help them?
I dropped into the vets on my way home from picking him up and got his myxi jab done (despite being on a fishery in the middle of nowhere, he wasn't vaccinated - she must be very lucky!!), the vet gave him a good look over and says he looks in pretty good health so I will book him in to be neutered soon too. The only thing was his claws were about an inch long, the poor lad had been living in a hutch about 3ft long and that was it. He is just so excited to have a hutch and run here (admittedly not a very good one at the moment, but better than he was in!) he is hopping around all over the place and investigating the chewed cardboard tunnel donated to him by Harry & Heather :lol:
I got home from my little journey (was hoping to sneak him through and see how long it was before hubby noticed!) to be met at the front door by hubby and the conversation was as follows
"I had a funny feeling that you were going to come back with a rabbit".
"Errr, he might not be staying though."
"Riiiiight. Who does he belong to, then?"
"Me at the moment
"
"So he is staying then"
"*Cough* Possibly "
"Well in that case you can make me a cup of tea".
I'll take that as a reluctant acceptance that there may be a new addition to the household :lol: Only thing is though, he needs a new name. At the moment he's called Freddie, but he doesn't look like a Freddie to me. I thought maybe he looks like a Trevor, or possibly a Sid, or maybe Dudley (after the owner of my vet's practice). Any suggestions?
Anyhoo, here's a pic of the little man - just the one, he's had a big adventure today:
and just for posterity, another couple of the existing residents
