Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

The birds had definitely been spoiled by our old cat being a) to lazy to
chase things that moved that fast and b) never having learnt to climb.
The first summer we had The Monster she had a very easy time of eating
baby swallows, because there were a number of nests that were within easy
cat-paw's reach of a roof she could climb up onto. The next summer those
nests weren't used, with the swallows building new ones further away from
that roof. The swallows also got their own back on The Monster, 'dive
bombing' her whenever she crossed the farm yard. In summer she would
always rush across it to avoid them.

Your rabbit sounds like fun; I hope his tooth gets better soon for both your and his sake.

He's an old boy, 7 and a half years old, and has had dental surgery every
year for the past 5 years because he refuses to eat hay or grass and his
teeth don't wear down. This year he developed an abscess. This is his
second course of antibiotics, but abscesses in rabbits are nearly
impossible to get rid of. He'll probably need antibiotics on and off for
the rest of his life. He's big and strong though, which is good for him
but difficult for me as he's heavy and I'm not terribly strong, and the
only person I have to help me with him is my 81 year old mum! We manage,
but it's hilarious watching us try to wrap him in a towel to give him his
medicine and I'm sure he spits half of it out!
