Celebrating Birthdays, the Arrival of the Shubunkin Fish and Yay to the Awesome Bunny People at the Lazy Vegan

UPDATE 8/16/14 - BLOG WILL AGAIN BE A DAY LATE THIS WEEK - STAY TUNED FOR NEWS AND PHOTOS LATER TOMORROW FROM THE NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION!

This past week was a very busy one at the Lazy Vegan - with the birthday celebrations for the foreman and Nick, the arrival of Shubunkin fish and a bunny lunch meeting for the rabbit campaign!  So this blog post will be a shorter than usual one as I am wee tuckered out!  Very happy to have met some awesome "bunny people" today - looking forward to helping bunnies in the future with this group.  New updates at www.rabbit.org for the campaign.

We were SO excited to finally get the Shubunkin for our water feature!  One fish in particular really stood out - a very outgoing little fellow (not sure if he was female or male...sadly, I say was, because...) who would dart back and forth and even practically come out of the water.  We started to call him "Friendly Fish Rousseau" and I was able to get some good photos of him during his short stay with us.  Something got Friendly within the first 48 hours of his time at the Lazy Vegan - and we were really bummed about this since we had taken all precautions to keep the fish safe with "hide aways", plants, etc.  We think that Friendly was just too friendly!  Luckily, the other fish are fine and after a head count each morning, the surviving five are still with us.  
The bunny lunch & meeting - of course, everyone wanted to meet the donkeys!










Wasabi was in heaven - so many bunny lovers gathered in one place!






Helpful donks.

The foreman still loving his Kindle!
With the bun!


The arrival of the Shubunkin!  The foreman informed me that some of the fish are actually called "Sassafras".


Superhero!





The demise of Friendly the Fish really left a pall on the weekend - but we were happy to know him for his short time - beautiful little guy.

The weekly pose!
Paco's foot (hoof) is cuter than mine!






I think the others will be safe since they don't come up to the surface like Friendly did.













Checking on the new crew.
Hanging out with Buddy.
The foreman got a beautiful pot for a "hide away".
Poor fish...they have to put up with me peering down at them!





The routine.
Video is part of campaign - the foreman did one, too - but I don't have a copy of his.  GOODBYE, WHOLE FOODS!


Enjoying the evening breeze.


Safe and relaxed bunny.

Put all the flyers, posters, etc. in the cabin - campaign "headquarters"!



Bravo is looking a bit older these days - his 12th birthday is coming right up!



So much fun!

The following photos are all from the joint birthday party for the foreman and for Nick!  HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO THE LEOS!!!
