Episode 14: We Moved! (How We Moved with Our Bunny Roo)
Thursday May 09, 2024
Thursday May 09, 2024
We just moved into a new home! From a small one bedroom condo to a 3 floor townhouse, tune in to hear how we arranged and prepared for our move with Roo at the top of our priority list. We share about what it was like for her being surrounded by boxes filled with items from 8 years of our lives living there, how we organized moving day, and how we transitioned Roo into the new space, including getting her used to new hardwood floors and stairs! We have many stories; we especially love the one we tell about Roo and the ONE rug she hates (note: Roo typically loves all rugs). So grab your cup of coffee or mug of tea, come on over to our little Bunmom Life Cafe, and sit with us as we tell you all about our big move. Thank you for tuning in and we hope you enjoy this one!

On this episode, we’re delving into more of the less glamorous duties of being a bunmom. Brushing, grooming (think fur everywhere), nail trims, house cleaning (how long can we get away with not cleaning the litterbox?). Bunnies are more work than you might think! Also, tumblefluffs! Yes, we made up that word and we think it’s quite fitting. How about bunny sneezes? And Roo the bunny-cat? We also share some exciting updates about this month. Come join us! We hope you enjoy this one 🙂

Hello Everyone! Today, we're talking about some of the less glamorous duties of being a bunmom. I share unique stories about our experience with our bunnies' poops. Yes, perhaps listen to this when you're not sitting for a meal. These are some behind-the-IG stories including the time Roo had pinworms, when she ate a piece of our toxic houseplant, we talk about our bunnies' eye poops and what happens to said eye poops when they have a bonded partner, and we share about a very interesting and remarkable story about the times when there was a piece of hay stuck in our bunnies' eyes. We hope you'll enjoy this one!

Thursday Dec 14, 2023
Hello everyone and happy holidays to all of you! Today we're sharing an update on how we've been doing, how Roo has been, how we are working through the holidays that's overshadowed with grief for a second year in a row. But we aren't just staying in that space during this episode. In this episode, we mainly talk about the joy and holiday traditions we've shared with our bunnies, the happy stories and memories of Christmas that we built with our three bunnies the past years, Roo's surprising adoration of snow, and how it's like for us now that Roo is a solo bunny once more.

Episode 06: How We Are Processing Our Grief (Pet Loss)
Friday Dec 01, 2023
Friday Dec 01, 2023
Hello everyone, this is The Bunmom Life podcast. On November 9th, 2023, we lost our sweet bunny Timo when his body surrendered to his chronic health issues. It has not been easy navigating this loss so soon after we lost our beloved Linus bear just over a year ago. In this episode, we talk about Timo's last day, what he went through, how we all thought he would make it out of the emergency fine, and what taking that devastating call from the vet was like - when he told us Timo's heart stopped. We talk about how we are still working through the rawness of this grief, and what we keepsakes we have to remember both Timo and Linus by. We open up and invite you in through this podcast to share what we are going through with you. Thank you for all your love and support.

Episode 05: Dear Timo (grieving the recent loss of our bunny)
Thursday Nov 16, 2023
Thursday Nov 16, 2023
Today's episode is open and raw. We just lost our beloved Timo. I share a few of my journal entries I wrote this past week and open up and share a bit of what it has been like for us right after losing Timo. It's not the full picture (we may share more later on); it's just a glimpse into the grief we are going through, the hurt, the heartache, the guilt, but also the gratitude and immense love in our hearts. I wasn't sure if I'd be releasing an episode today; I actually couldn't even think about it until the last minute yesterday. But as I reflected on Timo's life and Linus' life, I knew I wanted to do this as a tribute to them. They're never truly gone. Love always perseveres.

Hello!
This is the story of my life and how it all changed the day my husband, Mario, and I decided to bring home a bunny. We have been blessed to become bunparents to three of them. They are fully free-roaming (no cages or small enclosures!), fully litter-trained, they can do tricks, and they are cuddly! This podcast is a gift to our Instagram community who adore Roo, Linus, and Timo, and it is also a tribute to our beloved Linus bear who crossed the rainbow bridge in June 2022.
