Down The Rabbit Hole

Another wet yellow puddle greeted me again on Monday morning.

I was not amused.

Grumbling, I cleaned up the puddle, refilled her food dish, and rushed off to work. I couldn’t concentrate the whole day because I kept thinking about the rabbit. Is Phoebe ok? Does she seem more settled in? Is she drinking her water? Eating her pellets? Am I letting her out enough? Did she spray pee outside the cage again? All day the only thoughts running in my head were rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit. Rabbit? Rabbit! Rabbit??! RABBIT!

When I finally got home I decided to try out my friend’s remedy and rubbed some vinegar onto the spot she peed on. To be on the safe side, I placed some newspapers over the spot as well. Feeling rather smug, I went off to shower before I headed out for my movie. As I was leaving the house, I decided to check on the rabbit again.

Lo and behold, there was another puddle of pee outside the cage… IN ANOTHER SPOT. WHICH ALSO HAPPENED TO BE RIGHT OVER HER FOOD BOWL, SO SOME STAINED THE SIDES OF THE BOWL.

I was quite ready to turn Phoebe into rabbit stew. But first I complained to my friend.

Me: SHE PEED IN ANOTHER SPOT. GYAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Friend with two rabbits: Well, you just have to keep on rubbing vinegar until she stops.
Me: Really? *pause* Wait, how long did it take you to housetrain yours?
FWTR: A few months?
Me: *collapses on floor*

Man, I REALLY hope I have the patience to see this through.
