Pre-holiday fun hanging out.
Business as usual before our routine was disrupted by the arrival of Foster Bun.
Old Toby posing for Christmas!
And Bravo's Christmas pose!
The following photos are from Christmas Eve - yummy dinner followed by a fun wind-up penguin race!
We finally got to meet Paul's beautiful girlfriend, Maja, and love her!!

Christmas Day - putting on Old Toby's traction socks!
Party bun.
Grandma Snap gives her gifts to the animals!
Beautiful day for Christmas - and the donkeys came out too!
Maja and the trio.
Had fun with Kim and her 90-year-old mom!
Unfortunately Karina was sick and couldn't make it - so we really missed seeing her and Nick this year!!
The first few minutes at the Lazy Vegan with "Jiffy Pop" (Now Rufus). He came with his stuffed teddy bear!! He would check in with his bear every few minutes.
I brought him home around 1:00 and the foreman stayed upstairs with him till late in the evening. He was scared at first but really warmed up quickly. Poor little guy still has ears healing so we have to be careful not to touch them. He came up for pets right away.
Meanwhile, Wasabi was downstairs, oblivious.
Eating dinner.
Checking in with his bear.
Wasabi generously donated one of her Xmas gifts - a Hopper Hideaway - plus one of her "back-up" Buddy stuffed animals - but once we saw how attached he was to his bear we put that away.
By nightfall he was settling in - using the litter box flawlessly!
And hopping on TOP of the box - something Wasabi has never done!
Our foster contract! We "agreed" to two months - but I seriously doubt that Rufus will ever leave the Lazy Vegan...
Grooming bear!
Protesting again!!
This is the box that the foster bun was in when I picked him up! I talked and sang to him all the way home. My friend Cathy picked him up from SaveABunny along with a pair of bonded bunnies that she is fostering for two weeks and I met her at her house. When I first opened the box to peek inside in her kitchen, I saw a scared little white bunny and a stuffed bear staring back at me.
Day two - roaming around upstairs!
OMG - exploring! Wasabi has never gone into the bathroom - she refuses to leave a carpet! So this will be a challenge...
Standing up on the bathroom garbage can! OMG!
Hop, hop, hop.
Meanwhile - the Queen Bun reigns downstairs.
He has a real sweetness to him. He was really scared the first morning when I went up to give him breakfast at 5:00 a.m. and thumped like crazy - but settled right down when I stayed with him and petted him.
I think Wasabi knows SOMETHING is up! The dogs, too - but they have been surprisingly good.
Day three - exploring the upstairs balcony!
He is a funny looking little guy which makes him even more endearing.
One day at a time - am praying that when the time comes, Wasabi will love him and the other way around!!
