Another year has gone by
Dansk version
Denne dag (4. Maj) dedikeres til Molly og Sandy, for de har nemlig fødselsdag, og de fylder 7 år!
Der var flag overalt, for det hører sig en fødselsdag til! Der blev hejst flag i både den store almindelige flagstang og i den lille. Der blev klargjort et lille hygge område i en lille indhegning i haven. Der blev lavet friskpresset æblesaft, som Molly og Sandy kunne slubre i sig. De slikkede lidt i vandet der var med æblesmag, men der skete så mange ting, at de hellere ville ud at udforske.
Der blev givet gaver til hver af kaninerne skiftevis. Molly pakkede sine gaver op og hun fik nogle gulerodsgodbidder, lucerneringe, en urtemix og en træ labyrint, som kunne samles på utallige måder. Snacks og nye ting at udforske kan aldrig gå helt galt. Både Molly og Sandy elsker at gå på eventyr og undersøge nye ting. Molly havde fået samlet sine gaver i en kasse, så de ikke bare lå og flød over det hele, for så kunne hun helt sikkert godt komme til at få spist alt for mange snacks i løbet af dagen. Dagen var jo kun lige begyndt.
Der var også blevet hæntg en masse guirlander op i haven rundt om løbegården. Der var desuden også blevet sat en masse stofflag i jorden rundt omkring i haven. Dannebrog kunne ses overalt. Hvorend man kiggende hen, så så man de røde hvide farver. Kaninerne fik også lov til at løbe sig en tur frit ude i haven. Vi holdt selvfølgelig skarpt øje med den undervejs. De hoppede afsted i alle retninger. De elsker at være ude i haven. Der blev plukket lidt blomster til dem, som var mælkebøtter. Der er nogle af deres favoritblomster, som de kan æde. Bukketen blev sat ved indgangen til deres løbegård, hvor den pyntede godt lige indtil Molly kom forbi og åd dem. Jeg plukkede lidt flere, så Sandy også havde en chance for at få nogle. Det gjorde hun så også, for kort tid efter, kom Sandy forbi og guffede de gule blomster. De fik derudover også en håndfuld blandede tørrende urter, så de fik i hvert fald masser er snacks og lækkerier på deres fødselsdag.
Ikke nok med denne dag, som er deres rigtige fødselsdag, hvor det jo blev holdt sammen, så fik de ikke desto mindre deres egen fødselsdag også, hvor de hver især blev fejret. Disse fødselsdage blev holdt kort tid efter deres rigtige fødselsdag, som er den 4. maj.
Molly´s egen fødselsdag:
Der blev hængt flag op i den lille flagstang, som udelukkende er til kaninbrug. Dannebrog hang nu og flagrede i vinden. Der blev sat utallige stofflag rundtomkring i løbegården, hvor de kunne blafre let i brisen. Det ene af de to store stofflag blev hængt på buret inde i løbegården, hvor det flagrede lystigt.
Der blev lagt tæpper ud og der lå danske flag rundt om der hvor vi sad, som netop var på tæpperne. Molly fik en særlig gave af Michelle, som var en klodsmajor spil med træklodser. Molly var god til at trække de små klodser ud. Med lidt hjælp fra nogle godbidder, så faldt hun hurtigt ud af, hvad det gik ud på, men det var ikke altid lige let, at få klodserne ud uden at få tårnet til at vælte ned over sig, så man skulle passe på. Vi endte alle fire med at lege med Molly´s nye spil. Klodserne var lavet af træ, som var ubehandlet, og det var dermed ufarligt at gnave i. Det hyggede vi os alle meget med. Det var sjovt og anderledes, og det lod også til at Molly var meget interesseret i hendes nye og fascinerende aktivitetslegetøj.
Sandy´s egen fødselsdag:
Der blev sat papir flag op i løbegårdens hegn. Det blæste ikke så meget, så flagene larmede ikke og generede dermed heller ikke kaninerne. Der blev derudover sat to stofflag i jorden i løbegården på hver sin side af der, hvor vi sad og pakkede gave op. Der blev hejst flag i kaninernes egen flagstang, som foldende sig fint ud i vinden.
Da Sandy fik sin gave, skulle hun først lige snuse til dem og sikre sig at det nu også var det hun troede det var. Sandy fik sin fødselsdagsgave af Shania. Sandy havde fået en timian og en basilikum plante. De var friske og skyllet med rent friskt vand, så eventuel snavs fra butikken var blevet fjernet. Det er nemlig begge planter, som er egnet til kaniner. Det særlige med disse to krydderurter er at Molly ikke er særlig stof fan af dem, men det er Sandy i høj grad. Molly plejer ofte af jage Sandy væk fra nye ting og særligt, når det gælder mad og snacks, men da Molly først havde været ovre for at snuse til planterne tog hun lige en enketl bid af dem hver og konstaterede så, at det ikke var noget for hende, så Sandy fik lov til at få dem i fred. Sandy listede sig over til hendes to nye planter, da Molly igen var gået. Sandy gik straks i gang med at spise af planterne. Først guffede hun lidt af den ene, og så skiftede hun lidt over til den anden. Det var lige præcis sådan, som jeg havde håbet at Molly ville reagere, for selvom hun måske på et senere tidspunkt er interesseret i planterne, så kan Sandy i det mindste få sine velsmagende krydderurter for sig selv langt det meste af tiden. Det er fordelen ved at kaninerne kan lide forskellige planter, hvor de hver især er større tilhænger af nogle planter frem for nogle andre.
Vi sad og hyggede med planterne på nogle sorte måtter, som er skridsikre, men som samtidig kan holde til fugt og vand fra planterne. De kan samtidig stå plan og stabilt. Planterne var pakket ind ved at være indhyllet i grønt blomsterpapir til at dekorere dem lidt i dagens anledning, så planterne skulle faktisk pakkes ud. Det tiltrak hurtigt opmærksomhed med det knitrende papir, for alt hvad der larmer og knitrer er interessant, og så får man hurtigt både Sandy og Molly´s opmærksomhed og interesse.
English version
This day (May 4) is dedicated to Molly and Sandy, because it is their birthday and they are turning 7!
There were flags everywhere, as befits a birthday! Flags were raised in both the large standard flagpole and the small one. A small cozy area was prepared in a small enclosure in the garden. Freshly squeezed apple juice was made for Molly and Sandy to drink. They licked the apple-flavored water a little, but there were so many things going on that they'd rather go out and explore.
Gifts were given to each of the rabbits in turn. Molly unwrapped her gifts and she got some carrot treats, alfalfa rings, an herb mix and a wooden maze that could be put together in countless ways. Snacks and new things to explore can never go wrong. Both Molly and Sandy love to go on adventures and explore new things. Molly had collected her gifts in a box, so that they weren't all over the place, because then she could definitely end up eating far too many snacks. The day had only just begun.
The Danish flag could be seen everywhere. Wherever you looked, you saw the red and white colors. The rabbits were also allowed to run freely in the garden. We of course kept a close eye on them. They jumped off in all directions. They love being out in the garden. Some flowers were picked for them, which were dandelions. There are some of their favorite flowers that they can eat. The bunting was placed at the entrance to their enclosure, where it looked good until Molly came by and ate them. I picked a few more so Sandy had a chance to get some too. Shortly after, Sandy came by and ate the yellow flowers. They also got a handful of mixed drying herbs, so at least they got plenty of snacks and treats on their birthday.
Not only did this day, which is their real birthday, they nevertheless had their own birthday as well, where they were each celebrated. These birthdays were held shortly after their real birthday, which is May 4th.
Molly's own birthday:
A flag was hung up in the small flagpole, which is exclusively for rabbit use. The Dannebrog now hung and fluttered in the wind. Countless sheets of fabric were placed all around the enclosure, where they could flutter easily in the breeze. One of the two large fabric flags was hung on the cage inside the enclosure, where it fluttered merrily.
Carpets were laid out and there were Danish flags around where we were sitting, which were just on the carpets. Molly got a special gift from Michelle, which was a Tower with wooden blocks. Molly was good at pulling out the little blocks. With a little help from some treats, she quickly figured out what it was all about, but it wasn't always easy to get the blocks out without causing the tower, so you had to be careful. All of us ended up playing with Molly and her new game. The blocks were made of untreated wood, so it was safe to gnaw on them. We all had a lot of fun. It was fun and different, and it also seemed that Molly was very interested in her new and fascinating activity toy.
Sandy's own birthday:
Paper flags were put up in the fence of the enclosure. It wasn't very windy, so the flags didn't make any noise and thus didn't bother the rabbits either. In addition, two fabric flags were placed in the ground in the enclosure on either side of where we sat and unwrapped presents. Flags were raised in the rabbits' own flagpoles, which unfolded nicely in the wind.
When Sandy got her present, she first had to sniff it and make sure it was what she thought it was. Sandy got her birthday present from Shania. Sandy had gotten a thyme and a basil plant. They were fresh and rinsed with clean fresh water, so any dirt from the shop had been removed. Both plants are suitable for rabbits. The special thing about these two herbs is that Molly is not a big fan of them, but Sandy is to a great extent. Molly often tends to chase Sandy away from new things and especially when it comes to food and snacks, but when Molly had first been over to sniff the plants she just took a single bite of each of them and then found that it was not for her, so Sandy was allowed to have them by herself. Sandy slipped over to her two new plants when Molly had left. Sandy immediately started eating the plants. First she chewed a little of one of them, and then she switched to the other. It was exactly how I had hoped Molly would react, because even though she might be interested in the plants later, at least Sandy can have her tasty herbs to herself most of the time. It is an advantage that the rabbits like different plants.
We sat and enjoyed the plants on some black mats, which are non-slip, but which can also withstand moisture and water from the plants. They can also stand flat and stable. The plants were wrapped in green floral paper to decorate them a little for the occasion, so the plants actually had to be unwrapped. It quickly attracted attention with the crackling paper, because everything that makes noise and crackles is interesting, and then you quickly get both Sandy and Molly's attention and interest.
