when I think of BOB I get all warm and fuzzy inside and not just cause I am a hormonal female with nothing better to do than cry, but because Bob is more than just a truck to me, Bob is a member of my family.
sounds kind of silly doesn't it, but the cold hard truth is, Bob has probably been around since before I got married. I can't remember when my dad got bob exactly but I remember switching out car seats in the credit unions parking lot when Dominic was just a baby so my dad could take him for the evening while I went to class. I remember all the times bob helped us haul things. I remember Bob towing all our possessions to the DI just days before we moved to Texas--yes, Bob and I definitely go back a ways, which is why I am so sad to be selling him to the highest bidder, but alas, every good love must come to an end at some point--or so I have been told.
he haven't even had that Texas licence plate for a year now, I don't think he liked it much, to be truthfully honest, I think he longed to return to Utah. I use to tease that the true reason my daddy gave us this wonderful truck was so we could hook a good size U-haul to it when we finally called it good and moved back to Utah, Bob just never ran the same once we officially made him a Texan.
the camper's back window is only missing because one day while we were running some scap metal to the scrap yard I closed it on a door and it shattered into a billion little pieces--we got maybe a $1 for that door--yep, definitely worth it. Luckily I am married to the handiest man in the universe--he put plexi glass in the frame but never re-attached it, we do though have it and can re-attach it upon sale.
0ddly enough I have never driven Bob--I backed him out of our carport once or twice I think but never further than that--so when I first saw this pic I had to ask 'what is that of' only to realize it is the cammand center of the truck on the driver's side--look at all those buttons, Midge definitely didn't have anything like that in her--she had the hand crank windows.
Bob was really handy to have around, not only did he have 6 seatbelts, but his back seat was big enough to fit 3 full size alpha omega type car seats in it--I think that was when I truly fell in love with him. he also have 2 shoulder belts in the back which came in handy for the booster seats. the middle seat in the front folds down to be cup holders and a 'storage compartment' but also folds back up to be a lap belt in the middle--yes, he cam in handy to haul all the youngins
this truck has definitely seen some living--don't know where he got his start but he spent many a years with my dad as a company vehicle when he worked for the credit union in SLC and was taken care of there, we took care of him too, we just parked him for a bit too long when his registration went out, we tried to apologize by getting him some new tires and a lot of other things to pamper him but he never really forgave us.
I know this is old school, but since midge only had radio we so thought this tape player made us high class society...oh and boy does his A/C work!!!!!
big wheels for hauling his big heart--and he is a 4X4 so he can haul a lot more than just a big heart
BOB WE LOVE YOU!!!!
I think the hardest part about these babies is knowing that we just don't have the room or means to keep them all, but we know with easter just around the corner we will be able to find loving homes for each and every one of them.
Now this guy doesn't want to be shoved in an easter basket to surprise a kid on easter day and then shoved into a cage in the backyard never to be though of again--he wants to be loved on and cuddled, he wants a home where he can sit in your lap while you feed him some celery (oddly our bunnies prefer celery over carrots), and he wants to know that he is not forgotten.
I have to say, this guy is special. With 2 spotted patterned parents and most his siblings patterned I find it impressive that he is all one color, and such a studly color such as charcoal--yes, this is your prince in shining armor, and he will sweep you off with not only his stunning good looks but also his precious little eyes.
I believe, of all our animals, bunnies are definitely the easiest. If I was going to compare them to a 'regular' household pet I would think cat, but without the dander, although they are way more impressive than cats (in my honest opinion). This little guy is working on his litter box skills so that he can continue his training in his new home with his new parents. Unlike cats litter boxes when using the right kind of litter you can empty a bunnies litter box into the compost bin or even directly into your garden--bunny poop is one of the few that won't burn your plants. they are easy to please, and very entertaining (just give him a toilet paper roll and I am sure he can entertain you for hours--or until the roll is destroyed ) oddly enough bunnies are not that expensive, you can get large bags of their feed for less than $10 at pretty much any feed store. Yes, i would say bunnies are pretty easy pets, but don't take my word for it--google it and see what others have to say.......
Born on Thursday March 3rd of 2011, we originally thought we had 8 babies but later discovered I counted wrong and there was only 7--all beautiful of course. We haven't had any of them sexed yet, I keep trying but still don't have that skill down cause as far as I can tell they are all either boys or girls--hence why I want them to be determined by someone else (they were sexed today and we think they are boy and girl, but we will recheck them as they continue to get older)
these 2 are definitely curious, and brave, they would make the perfect indoor litter box trained bunnies that you could just cuddle up to and watch a movie. I just can't get over their color pattern!!!!
