Bunny Bunch Expo!

The Bunny Bunch Expo is  fundraising for the bunnies. Also has different kinds of booths to help out these lovable animals.

 

This is a flyer of the Bunny Expo has different kinds of information on what booths there were.

This was the entrance of the booths or the expo. 

These are guinea pigs also part of the Bunny Expo and like the piggy's and the bunnies they had a little note saying feed me. And by donating money the people would feed them veggies. 

 This was the grooming spa. I was in charge of this booth and the photo contest. I groom about 30 loveable bunnies.

 This a picture the lady is a vet, she was talking to the people how its important to care for their animals. An interested thing is that bunnies vet is called an exotic vet.

It was a wonderful day to help out in this event. :)

Research and Working EQ

Content:

1.  What is your working EQ?

What is the most important reason to switch to a NO Kill Rescue than a traditional shelter?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.  Examples:

 

EQ: What is the most important reason to switch to a NO Kill Rescue than a traditional shelter?

• take abandoned animals
• its a better environment
• have care for any type of animals
• adoption there very carefully if the animal has a good home
• rescues animals from High Kill / Kill shelters

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

 

Maddie's  Fund is an important source that helped understand my senior topic but also gave me an idea on what my answers should be. Also another source that helped even more was my second interview which was Joanne, she helped me understand about the animals that we can't save all animals.
 
4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
 
My mentor is Joanne, I volunteer at Bunny Bunch. What I do at Bunny Bunch is clean the cages, change the water, give veggies but I also observed animal behavior, I believe what I am doing relates to my EQ because everything that a animal does, matters and also how different animal act.

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

 

For my 30 hours, I plan to keep doing hours at Bunny Bunch. For the 30 hours I thinking to work close with my mentor on how she runs Bunny Bunch  but  I am not entirely sure about this, I still need to talk to my mentor Joanne, to see if there is something meaningful that can do for Bunny Bunch that will take 30 hours of work.

 

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

 

I love taking pictures of anything that is interesting, cute and this is how I plan to show evidence of my 30 hours, but also take short videos, and  I was thinking to do a voice recording of any important questions that I come up with.

 

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

 

Since I plan on doing an extra 30 hours at Bunny Bunch, this will help me explore more my topic which is " No Kill Rescue Shelter". I will be learning new things like care for the small mammals, where or how do animals get to Bunny Bunch, or see how my mentor runs Bunny Bunch. Also see animal behavior and how they improve and when they are ready to be adopted.

Meet the Burrow

 

Meet the burrow! This is where I do my mentorship at Bunny Bunch. These bunnies are lovable, caring, playful animals. Hopefully, as the days pass they will get adopted. They need a lovable family to look after them. Not only do bunnies need a family but also the chinchillas and the guinea pigs.



Meet the burrow.

(This is where I'm usually at. I clean their pens and sometimes pet them.)

This is a Chinchilla.

Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

 Content:  

So far, you have: completed your summer mentorship, started doing some research, maybe completed the interview and hopefully found a mentor.

Using what you have done so far, answer the following 5 questions (be specific and use examples).

The Pentagon:
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
A positive thing that has happen was finding one mentor that is willing to help me out. Also finding good information that has helped me a lot on my senior topic/project because it has given me the right information that I need, or plan to need for my EQ, but also an idea, on what I am planning on studying for my career.

 (2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
My interview has helped me understand so much, because it's not easy to lose an animal's life, and it's hard to take care of them, when its sick, or loosing an innocent life of a loveable animal. Also the research that I have gotten is really helpful because it gives me a producer how to take care of the small animals. It is good to know what's going on or have an idea, with the animal, cause you never what's going to happen.

 (3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
My research has helped me, because it has given me a better understanding on the small animals(rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas). Like before I started volunteering or looking for information on it, I thought they didn't have a lot of problems but they do, and with the all the research and the interview I have done, it has helped me understand.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
What hasn't worked for me would be finding a good book, even though I have articles, I want to get a view on a book to see what other information is given, but I am still looking for them in my library. Also my scheduled hasn't been working for me, because I have so much things to do, but I am working on it, cause I don't want to miss any days that I signed up for, because it has happen to me, for example, last week I was supposed to go on Tuesday but I had to call and cancelled because I had tutoring which it is important to me cause I don't want to fall behind. So right now I am seeing which days are good for me, so far Saturdays are alright for now.
 
(5) Finding Value: 

•  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)

What is the important reason to switch to a No-Kill Rescue shelter than a traditional animal shelter.

•  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to find it.

What I plan to do to for mentorship is help at the shelter with my mentor Joanne, and to be involved in a booth or an adoption day event, or any kinds of events, be involved in a activity and also to see if I am allow to give the animal their meds or at least observed seeing how they do it and why those meds. Also I plan on looking for another mentor, that Joanne has recommended me to check out(vet tech), because it will help me out in my senior project but also in my career.

Ouch!!!

       It was during the summer mentorship when I experience, that a bunny bit me. It all started good, my mom drop me off, I went inside all confident, that nothing will happen. Like always I would have to sign in, and then go to the back , to start cleaning. So I started to clean the cages, which are nasty but the bunnies are so cute. After I was done cleaning the cages, I change the water, because everyday at least once a day the water needs to be clean out. Since it was a Tuesday, normally the store is close but they have it open because customer's sometimes come, but that day I had to leave early because we had finish everything, and they ask me," what time is your mom picking you up because we have to leave cause there is a meeting." I said." she's on her way." So Joanne asked me if I wanted to carry a bunny, I was like why not, what could go wrong. I went to the back to chose out a bunny. I choice a bunny that looked so nice his name is Montey, he is 8 years old. Joanne showed me how to carry him, so when I got him, I felt it coming, Montey didn't like me, well that's what I think. I was walking to the back, I felt him chewing on my name tag, in my mind I was like please don't bite me. NO, NO, NO! I took him away from my chest. AND right away when I took him away from me, he BITE me. At that moment  I didn't know what to do, first thing that's came up in mind, I want to drop the bunny, cause I cared more about my cut, but I didn't because its a bunny, they have feeling, plus the place is a No Kill Rescue. The cut hurt like a paper cut. So I was bleeding to death, just kidding.
