How are you doing @Lannie? Are you feeling any better? I'm praying that you are feeling better.

I wish I could say I was feeling better, but I don't know. I've been on such a roller coaster, mostly down. The last couple days were agony, so compared to them, I'm feeling better today. :) Rich is OK but not any better than he was before, either. However, we found out that the type of surgery he had, to free up his sciatic nerve, will take months to allow the nerve to decompress and feel any relief. So he waits. I don't know how long I'm going to take.

Rabbits perform a twisting jump called a 'binky' when they feel happy.
By Michael Nordine
A lot of worthy, under-appreciated pets get lost in the never-ending debate between cats and dogs. High among them is the humble rabbit, which is at its most adorable when it’s at its happiest. That’s when a bunny performs the “binky,” an adorably acrobatic jump in which it leaps straight up, twists its head and body, and kicks its feet; it sometimes even wiggles its ears.

The binky — which rabbit owners and animal experts alike agree is a physical expression of happiness and excitement — is often preceded by a bout of the zoomies, also known as the “bunny 500” by some rabbit aficionados. After all, if you’re known for hopping, why not do it when you’re happy?
