happy monster monday...

i know it's been a long time...

i am hoping that 2012 will find things a little easier to manage...

and keeping in touch better.

cross your fingers for me...

happy monster monday!!!

pictures from my awesome friend, jovi...

some BuNnY MoNsTeRz are fond of the snow...

some are not...

sometimes it's just hard to tell...

hope y'all are doing well...

there's not been much sewing going on here...
not in the way of BuNnY MoNsTeRz anyhow.

thanks for hanging in there though.

HaPPy HaLLoWeEn!!!

i know i sound like a broken record...
but i really do have the best friends.
this series of photos was taken by my dear (and VERY awesome) friend, todd.

i can't even put into words how elated i was to see these!!!
all of those BuNnY MoNsTeRz are his <3
he has supported me from the humble beginnings of the bunnyz & myself.


to todd...
you made me giggle and even tear up a bit.
thank you from the bottom of my BuNnY MoNsTeR makin' heart.
xox

and to the rest of you...
i guess it's now obvious that i'm back from vacation...=]
still trying to unpack & resettle, but getting there.

have a happy & safe halloween!

mail order bride...

photo via my awesome friend, cj

 his description on flickr reads as follows...

first-class meets white-trash.

Booger apparently went online and used my PayPal account
to order himself a wife from my good friend, Keri

meet Candy Sugarjugs...
the newest addition to my little Bunny Monsterz family.
she's a retired semi-pro stripper who wants to remind you
that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
her favorite saying is
"just because it's called a 'self-exam' doesn't mean you have to do it alone" =D

my apologies...

every single one of the halloween BuNnY MoNsTeRz i made
(zombies, mummies, & frankenbunnyz)
never made it to etsy.
i didn't even get a chance to post about them...
thanks to the people that snagged 'em before they were even finished.

also...as of saturday the 15th...this girl and (the now 9 year old) munki
will be on their way to california for a nice little visit with my grandmother.
she's one of the most awesome ladies on the face of the planet.
that's why my daughter is named after her...
and no...my grandma's name is not munki...
we'll be driving out...so i'm sure multitudes of pictures
will be shared during our trip and after our return.

the etsy shop is already closed until i get back.

hope y'all have been enjoying your october...wherever you are.

xox. keri & the anxious BuNnY MoNsTeRz

happy monster monday!!!

still completely preoccupied with little miss mabelle kitten...

i hope you can too.

hang in there kiddos...
eventually i'll be back on my sewing machine.



xox. keri & the getting impatient BuNnY MoNsTeRz

mabelle...aka why everything went wonky this last week...

so...most of you know we rescued this adorable kitten...
her life has been rough and she's only 11 weeks old.
to start...she (and her 2 littermates) were tied in a bag
& tossed from a moving vehicle onto the side of the road.
a wonderful woman rescued the mostly feral kittens...
had them spayed and neutered & all their first shots given.
on thursday july 7th we saw this tiny blue eyed ginger kitten...
fell in love, named her mabelle and that's that part of the story.

well...on saturday the rescue woman called me and asked how mabelle was doing.
she then starts crying and informs me that one of the other kittens died after being adopted.
she was trying to get in touch with the other owner to check on kitten #3.
kitten #2 died from panleukopenia

so, me being the protective animal mom decides to take her to the vet & get her tested.
(panleukopenia is incredibly hard to test for)
she tests negative and i take her home with new wet food and directions to keep an eye on her.
same day, i get another phone call from the rescue lady & kitten number #3 died too.
that kitten was fine and playing and eating and started throwing up and in 6 hours was dead.
this disease can hit and in less than 24 hours, kill a kitten.

 

the next day mabelle starts throwing up...
it's a sunday...crap.
off to the emergency vet...
mabelle is tested again and the doctor is thinking for sure she'll test positive (as am i)
but she tests negative again...
so she gets fluids shot into her...
gets an anti vomiting shot and an antibiotic shot...poor tiny little mabelle.
i take home tons of meds...one pill a day...2 doses of antibiotics a day and special food.

 

monday, mabelle just seems tired, no wonder after all she's been through...

 

tuesday, she's playing and running around with angus, eating normally...everything seems fine.
neither matt nor i want to jinx it...
so we just hope for the best and are appreciative of every good
day she has.

 

wednesday, same thing...eating & acting like a normal kitten...

 

thursday, again, same thing perfect kitten behavior.
at this point...we're starting to think we just might be ok.
thursday evening though...she doesn't seem interested in her food.

 

friday morning 4:30 am...gnarly kitten puking starts.
bless her little heart, she actually goes into the litterbox to throw up.
comes out and climbs back in bed and crashes.
30 minutes later...same thing.
15 minutes later...again...etc etc etc
i know the vet opens at 8 am i am just trying to hold out until then.
and thankfully, they got us in first thing...
the dr. decided not to even bother doing the panleuk test again...
he goes straight for the bloodwork.

a couple of hours later...it's confirmed...mabelle has panleukopenia.

so...friday at about noon they hooked her up to an iv drip and treatment began.
basically a kitten has to be strong enough to fight this off...and chances usually aren't too good.
but as of this morning's phone call from the doctor...she is hanging in there, is bright and alert
she's just not eating yet.
now we wait for tomorrow morning and hope that she has decided to eat.

right now, things look pretty good, but even the doctor said, it can turn in a snap.

so please, if you've taken the time to read all of my babble...

please please please keep little mabelle in your good thoughts and prayers.
she'll be quite the miracle kitten if she makes it through this.

i'm just gonna put this here...

i have a deep love for pop tart cat...

wordless wednesday...

happy monster monday...

<3 my new huck gee zombie dunny!



craziness in the household...
we've added a couple of new animals to our menagerie (kittens)
and there is a lot of madness that's gone along with it.
some good some bad and some wonderful.
i am going to try to be better about the blog. i miss it
and i miss you lovely people who care enough to read my nonsense.


hope you've all been well and continue to be...
