bunny tumors

i am exhausted. it is not even 8 pm and i am ready for bed. unfortunately finley is not. but he is out with jason in the sling. we hope that puts him to sleep. the past few days have worn me out.

to address the subject of this post. my six year old rabbit has some sort of tumor on his jaw/check. it is the size of a small cherry tomato. he needs to have it removed. the results of his biopsy are not back yet so we are unsure if he has cancer. but one way or another the tumor needs to come out before it grows too big to operate and starts getting in the way of him eating. so far he is acting fine. he is energetic, curious, eating. i spend each day calling various vets in the area looking for the best one. all the while trying to keep finley happy and safe.

finley is a walking boy now. here is a link to a few videos of him walking for those of you who care to watch. he is so happy to be walking. he squeals a lot and he loves making connections with other walking children. he reached out to a small girl at the park today and tried to hold her hand. he is extremely social. he's also really into reading books right now. he knows enough signs to "read" a few of his animal books to us. he loves it, we love it, we all laugh and make the animal sounds with the signs.

life is good…but i am tired. off to bed for me.
