The Life and Times of Bunnies

After all that brushing dad gave me the other day, this is how I looked after just one day:

I think dad’s going to try to brush me again… I just have to look cute enough that he won’t be able to bring himself to pick me up and disturb me… can’t let my guard down!

-Gus

Dad thought it would be fun to chronicle a “day in the life of Betsy.” So he did. But not with my help!

Is it morning? Do I have to get up?

Oh, you say you’ve got treats? Well then I might come out.

BUUUURP! That was a good breakfast, dad. Now get out of here! I’ve got important business to attend to!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……

Well, I made it into your office. Time for another nap.

…And another.

You can never have too many naps.

After some serious self-grooming, I think I deserve a nap.

Why yes, that is my fur. I like to keep my napping places smelling like me!

What a busy day! Thanks for dinner, dad. I think I’ll lay down with Gus now for an after-dinner nap. Oh, it’s the end of the day? Sweet! Now I can go to bed!

Goodnight!

-Betsy

Dad still puts us in “jail” every night. He calls it “curfew” now.

We’ll get out of here one day, I know it!

-Gus

Sometimes I just don’t know what Betsy is thinking. That position doesn’t look comfortable to me (click on the picture for a bigger version to see more clearly how she’s laying).

What’s worse is when she gets like that, she ends up kicking me… share the box, Betsy!

-Gus

Gus and I enjoy our time out of the “bunny jail” each day. Of course, dad is not allowed to come out of his office while we are here!

Later on, of course, it’s time for a nap.

Although dad always listens to his music in his office while he works, we like it in here, because he pretty much always leaves us alone.

-Betsy

My friend Potter inspired me to do some climbing of my own today!

Dad looked sooooo surprised when he came out and found me up there!

I was enjoying chewing on the top of the box. It made a really satisfying “riiiiiip!”

But now that dad’s here, I’d better play it safe and get down.

Whew, what a rough day! So much climbing, I’d better take a rest.

-Gus

ZZZZZzzzzz….

-Betsy

Between dad and the scary vacuum cleaner, I had to find a place to hide… so I did!

So then I climbed on top of a mountain and saved the day!

I’m soooooo brave!

-Betsy

Some people say to think outside the box - but I do my best thinking inside the box:

-Betsy

Sometimes my lop ears can be a pain in the neck - I can’t aim them the same way Gus can, for instance, to hear things better. But Gus found another way they can be useful - as eye covers:

I suppose I don’t mind - they’ve gotta flop somewhere, and they might as well flop on Gus’s face.
