I never did get around to posting on my 'bunny day'.

I had to go into town on Tuesday to meet with my disability advisor and sign on. As I got there half an hour early, which is usual for me as I hate being late, I popped into the library for a browse and ended up taking two bunny books to read, The Rabbit Whisperer and a book on Dwarf Rabbits. The dwarf one is mainly for art reference but as my little Tanis is a dwarf its twice as useful.

It turned out Sian, who I was meeting with, wasn't in that day so I just signed my bit of paper and left. Rather annoying because I still don't know if I've got on a work placement and I've not heard back from Asda either. If I don't get back into work soon I'm going to go loopy.

Still it wasn't a wasted visit as I went into Wilkinsons and brought the first part of Tanis' Garden. I'd spent Monday reading up on what fruits and veg are safe for my little guy and now I'm trying to grow some of them, starting with a little blackberry bush. I repotted it when I came home but its not looking too healthy now. I hope it recovers, its the first time I've tried to look after a fruit plant so I know things might not go to plan.

When I got back home there was a nice large brown envelope waiting for me, it was my membership pack for the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund. I was a little annoyed there are lots of magazines available for cats, dogs, fish and birds but none for bunnies. But after a bit of searching I found the RWAF do a quarterly magazine called Rabbiting On which is available to their members, so I signed up. I'm glad I did as they sent me loads of reading material by way of leaflets and books plus Tanis should get a free toy to play with in the next few weeks

I also had a really good think about the plan to have him inside in the winter and I think I can pull it off. The sitting room would be a nightmare to bunny-proof as there is so much stuff he could destroy (including my favourite dragon pieces) which I think was putting Anthony off the plan. However, I have a decent amount of space in the spare bedroom, or my craft room, and if I give it a good tidy up (its in a right mess at the moment) there should be plenty of room for him to play and space for his indoor hutch when I get it. Thats another reason I really need a job, good bunny homes are not cheap and I want one that is completely safe and comfortable for him.

Tanis is sunbathing at the moment, while I'm typing this up on the laptop outside. He loves his new run, there is loads of space for him to charge around and plenty of height for him to do his bouncing around. It also means part of the garden gets its grass cut!
