The Farrier Visits, the Strawberries Ripen and OH MY BUN - a Bunny Bonding Breakthrough on Father's Day at the Lazy Vegan!

LOOK at this photo above - Wasabi GROOMING Rufus!!!!!!
 OH MY BUN!!!!!!!!!!!! (OMG!!!!)  Amazing bunny bonding breakthrough today at the Lazy Vegan when I walked into the living room to find Wasabi GROOMING Rufus!  In the bunny bonding world, that is HUGE!!!  Certainly had never happened before and it was incredible to watch - went on for at least fifteen minutes and then she repeated it several more times (and is still at it now) throughout the day!  I believe we have a pair of BONDED bunnies!  After over a year of living in the same house and after a solid month of co-existing without a gate up, success has been achieved - and love is blossoming!  Definitely the highlight of the week!!  

HOPPY Father's Day to all the fathers in my extended family today and to the foreman of the Lazy Vegan and especially to my dad as he celebrates the day in Heaven - I so very much miss talking to him today and wished him a Happy Father's Day many times - I always loved how he would try (and usually succeed) to call me first on Father's Day!!  I love you, Dad.  

In other news this week, the farrier paid a visit to the donkeys and I went to the grand opening of the new animal shelter in Healdsburg where I fell in love with a one-eyed poodle named Jade and we are actually second in line for possibly adopting her - which may sound crazy, or may be perfect - who knows!  One person put their application in ahead of us so it is doubtful that she will be available.  She had a very sweet way about her and I think would get along with the bunnies.  But now that the bunnies appear to be bonded (OH MY BUN!!), we may want to continue to remain dog-free for a while longer to see how everything goes.

TOGETHERNESS!

We have been doing a lot of spying on the bunnies from the landing this week.

Jade, the one-eyed two-year old girl poodle!  So cute and sweet.

This hilarious fellow is a therapy dog not available for adoption.

 Snap and I had fun in downtown Sebastopol today when we visited this "Before I Die" wall although it hadn't opened yet when we were there together - so she went back on her own to write on it later!
