Oreo's Harrowing Experience

Saturday, the 30th of August 2019 was a normal day. I did a major clean up of the bunny areas because they had been shedding like never before. Oreo and Peter were their normal selves enjoying their morning banana, so we left home around lunch time to grab a bite, run errands, and take my son to his swimming class.

We got back home around 3:00 pm and the bunnies were napping as usual. Normally, Oreo would come out around 4:00 pm; but this time she didn't. I thought nothing of it. Maybe she's just being lazy today. Later at night, she was hiding in the box still, even when Peter has been out and about as usual. Late at night, Oreo should be hopping around, exploring, and begging for treats. I figured there was something wrong, so I tried to give her treats in the box. She wasn't showing interest - bad sign for a bunny!

I called two emergency pet clinics, which were open; but they didn't have a bunny doctor on site. That's when I had to text Kimberley with whom Oreo and Peter board when we go on vacation.

She came over at midnight and saved little Oreo's life. Oreo started having stringy poop in a few minutes but not eating yet. The next day (August 31st), she started taking little bites of banana and eventually came out to enjoy her favorite kale and cilantro salad.

Our nine-year-old sweet bunny is on the mend. Here she is now preparing for a nap with Peter at their favorite morning lounge area by the stairs.

She's looking outside her window, enjoying it now that she's feeling much better.

More on Oreo the Sun Lover

It's been days since we saw more sunshine in the Bay Area. Sun lover Oreo makes sure she's at her tent just before the sun gets to it.

Ahhhh!

Yes, she can't get enough of the sun. When it moved, she had to relocate.

Vitamin D for Bunny

We first noticed Oreo's love for sunbathing when we left the window blinds up to give the room some light and warmth.

After that, we noticed that Oreo would position herself at the same location every time, waiting for the sunlight to reach her tent as she dozes off and enjoys the warmth.

Hence, whenever we're home in the afternoon, we put up the blinds on purpose and let her enjoy her afternoon sunbathing ritual.

Has it been 5 years already?

It's 2019! Oreo and Peter have now been together for five years. Oreo may be a senior bunny, but she sure can hop fast when the treat can sounds.

Although it's almost Spring time, it's still cold outside so the bunnies love a good huddle.

Here's their latest video enjoying a nice lunch of dandelion leaves and cilantro.

Happy 4th Anniversary, Oreo & Peter!

Four years ago, we took Oreo to the Dublin Petsmart to find a new friend after her sister Cookie died. It was February 15, 2014. Peter liked Oreo immediately, and they bonded within a week.

Here's a video I created to show how much fun they're having with each other.

Oreo Speaks

In my 20s I drew comic strips for my Engineering club in college. The fun continued when I started working as a Research Associate in the same university, where I drew comic strips and illustrations for their publications.

With that, I couldn't help but put captions on funny pictures--many of which are in my scrapbook collection. Here are some of those pictures where Oreo and Peter are the stars.

GI Stasis Got Oreo

Oreo is one friendly bunny. Often, she'll come out to check if she hears voices and footsteps.
