The Life and Times of Bunnies

One good thing about the “jail” dad set up is that the bunny temple is fun now. Dad turned it so that the entrance is off to the side - so you can’t see in from the rest of the room. Which makes it a perfect place to hide when you don’t want anyone to see you. It’s great!

Although every so often dad will come around saying “where’s Betsy?” and he’ll bend over and look inside the temple. But if you back up really far in, he can’t see you unless he gets down to the floor and looks inside.

I guess I’m just like my mummy - I have a “thing” for shoes.

Dad and mom were both late in getting up and feeding us this morning.

So to keep myself amused while I waited an eternity for my breakfast, I decided to dig in my litter box. I always have the feeling that if I just keep digging a little further, I’ll find a prize - like a big box of crackers or something.

When dad finally got up though, he was not impressed with my digging. Typical.

-Betsy

Whew! All this digging, chewing, and destruction is making me tired. I think I’ll lay down for a nap.

ZZZZzzzzz….

-Betsy

Am I doing it right?

Hmm… maybe not.

-Betsy

Dad’s home… and just when I was getting comfy with having some quiet time to myself! Now I’ve got to watch out for dad coming to grab me and brush me (mum is too scared to pick me up, which suits me fine).

On top of that, dad is much more strict… no more digging or chewing in things for me I’m afraid. Thanks a lot, dad.

Gus and I are so tired! We have been really busy trying to keep Mum as preoccupied as possible — to take her mind off Dad being away.

Here are some of the things we thought might help keep her mind of Dad:
1. I made sure to dig in the litterbox and flick litter as far as I could, that way, she had to clean it up and that kept her busy.
2. Gus flipped the bunny fort into the middle of the living room and grunted at her when she went to pick it up.
3. I snuck into the bedroom (I know - she left the door open, how exciting!!!) and I was able to pull apart the barrier preventing us from getting under the bed, and I overturned the bedside table - this sent the cordless phone and base crashing to the floor. NICE!
4. We both spent last night chewing up the rug. We left bits throughout the house for her to pick up.
5. Gus made sure only to eat the tops of the parsley, that way Mum would have to pick them up by hand before she could vacuum up the litter I flicked every where.

Mum pretended to get mad - but really, we know she was just sad because she missed Dad. We tried to help keep her busy - it sure was fun!

-Betsy

Actually mum, you’ve been home for long enough now that I’m going back to my normal mode of silent indifference to your existence.

But please don’t forget to give me some extra treats or else I’ll chew your shoes!

-Betsy

Dad says mummy is coming home tomorrow - I am very excited!

She always gives us the best treats!

-Betsy

Even I’m not sure why Betsy was digging on the lamp post.

Though it did wake dad up… maybe that’s what she had in mind.
