you can’t live life and write about it at the same time

This past Monday I did a photo project called ‘A Day in the Life’, recording my day in pictures (and I was awake for the full 24 hours). This should give you a little taste of how very busy, very crazy, and very fun our house has been lately.
Go, George!
Someone recently commented, after hearing that Rex was over 9 years old, that they didn’t know rabbits could live for so long. I knew I’d heard about Flopsy, the rabbit in Australia that is reported to have lived for over 18 years. But I decided to do some searching on other very old bunnies and found an article about the world’s oldest living rabbit, recognized by Guinness just this past month.
Plenty of hopping? Just a nibble of the finest lettuce? Clean living? Whatever he’s been doing, it’s working. George, a rabbit living with a Tewksbury family, has been declared the oldest rabbit in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.
George, who is 14, was awarded the “The Oldest Living Rabbit” honors by Guinness after several vets confirmed his age.
The life expectancy for rabbits is 6 to 8 years, making George nearly double the average, or about 160 years old in human terms.

Apologies for being away. We’ve had relatives over these past couple weeks (and naturally they adore the cats and Rex). But the zookeeper hasn’t had much time to sleep and even less time to get online.
Kh. Michelle – Charlotte already gave some good advice to check out cats.about.com; in addition I would also recommend www.catforum.com. Hope that helps!
