Not ready for this! and baby jealousy

Ugh! Today it got up to 84 Farenheit. That is 29 Celcius. It is FEBRUARY!!!! Summer in Texas means having a whore bath (using a cloth and cool, soapy water to wash the "stinky" parts) 3-4 times a day, actual showers at least once a day if not twice, not sleeping well, rashes in icky places, and not much exercise because I cannot handle heat. I don't want an early summer. If it was up to me there would only be three seasons, Spring, Fall and Winter.
Spring would last 6 months and the temp would range from 10C - 18C. (50F - 64F)
Fall would be 3 months and temps would be from -5Celcius up to about 10 degrees. (23F - 50F)
And Winter would be from -5 down to about -15. (23F - 5F) There WOULD be lots of snow for winter. It would also last about 3 months and would go from the beginning of November to the end of January.
I think even my Mom would be okay with that part although she really likes Summer. I don't think I am asking too much.


In other news, I have started taking Cinnamon and Chromium pills to help balance my sugars and carbs in my body. It might actually be working. I've lost about 5 pounds so far. I just have to remember to take it twice a day. I've never been really good about remembering my pills.


I had a dream the other night that every female in my household, even my spayed animals, were all pregnant except for me. I woke up in tears because sometimes it feels true. Everyone around me gets pregnant fairly easily and so many people in my life have children that they don't care for properly. To them their kids are just a "job" or a "nuisance". Accidents that they don't really want but have anyway. So many times I've had to bite my tongue so I don't blurt out that I will take their child from them. I know I can't do that because even though they don't really care about their kids, they wouldn't want anyone else to have them. It's like their children are property. When they are cute and sweet they love them, but when they misbehave or don't learn things just the way the parents want them to, they are "brats". I'd give anything to have a "brat" of my own.

Miracle of life...or curse?

Hi again!

As those who read my Bully Breed Buddies Blog know, one week ago I brought a rabbit home that I got from someone on Freecycle. They thought it was a little girl rabbit but well, it wasn't. It's a boy! I didn't find this out until after he had spent the whole day with our two females in their free run room. He has DEFINITELY mated with one of the females (that's how I found out he was male, lol) but I am not sure of the other. We have named him Cupid in honor of the time of year, AND his favorite pasttime!

So chances are almost 100 percent that we are going to have little baby bunnies running around in just a few more months. It takes about thirty days for the pregnancy but they do not leave the nest until about two weeks of age.

Normally I do not find myself in this kind of situation. All our dogs and cats are spayed or neutered and if I had thought to double check the new rabbit he would NOT have had access to our females. I don't agree with breeding random animals, especially when I'm not ready for them! I do have to admit though, even though I'm upset and nervous that this is happening, I'm also a little excited to have the miracle of life happening in my home.

lol, if it can't be me breeding like a rabbit, it might as well be my rabbit right?????
