Shinta’s been urinating while sitting down again so his pee gets all over his fur. ;_; He might need to go on another visit to the vet again because I’m not sure if his UTI completely cleared up or not. So, being the good sister I am to Laura’s rabbit, I decide to give him a bath. Knowing he’s going to jump all over me while trying to escape the water, I get a poncho out and put it on. Everything goes fine during his bath after the initial get me out of here jumps for freedom and I pull out the towels to lay him down to dry him off. To make sure he doesn’t freeze to death, I plug in my Toyotomi ceramic heater. It’s a nice and quiet heater, to not scare the bunny. He’s about halfway dry when the heater has a mini-explosion inside. It’s spitting out sparks and I, being the girl that I am, scream my head off… into Shinta’s ears… Poor thing. ;_; After the initial panic subsides (like maybe 5 seconds or so) I quickly pull out the plug and the heater smolders, completely dead. My dad comes in to see what I was screaming about. My mom comes in worried. One of the heating elements inside must have overheated. The filter on it was relatively clean (nothing to cause the mini-explosion at least) and I know I didn’t splash any water on it. Yeah, Shinta was wet, but he wasn’t dripping wet. Like I said, he was halfway dry at the time the heater blew up. I even made sure that there was no way water would get on it. I guess it was it’s time to go. ;_;
As for Shinta, I think he wasn’t too happy being near me, because when I put him down, he ran away into his cage. :( I guess he would rather spend it cold and in the cage than near me, the person who screamed into his ears. ;_; I’m sorry Shinta! >_<
