The Life and Times of Bunnies

  • The Things I Put Up With

    It’s a tough life, being me. You wouldn’t believe the things I have to put up with.

    Like, for example, this:

    gus sleeping with betsy on his face

    There I was, just trying to take an after-dinner nap, and Betsy came along and sat on my face.

    gus flopped on his side (from above)

    *sigh* The things I put up with…

  • Ms. Bunny Manners

    After eating a big meal (and scattering bits of it around the floor of course) it’s important to rest and relax, to allow time for digestion. This lets your host know that you found the meal… acceptable.

    Needless to say, Gus and I are experts at this.

  • Eating Bunny-Style

    Sometimes I like to enjoy my dinner bunny-style.

    And by “bunny-style” I mean “pulling it out of the food bowl and onto the floor.”

    Dad doesn’t always appreciate this; but who cares what he thinks? (Not me!)

  • DON’T WAKE THE BUNNY

    Just a little advice that I’m passing along… when you see a bunny sleeping peacefully – like this:

    VERY sleepy gus

    DON’T WAKE HIM UP.

    gus - or, mr. grumpy bun

    OR ELSE.

    That is all.

  • Bunny Tunnel

    Hey, you!

    looking through the tunnel at betsy

    Don’t even think about coming in here.

    This tunnel is for bunnies only.

  • Because it was there

    What can I say?

    Sometimes I like to climb on top of things.

  • Shhhhh…

    Can’t you see I’m sleeping?

  • Don’t Even Think About It

    What’s that, dad? You say someone suggested we replace our box in your office, the one by the bunnycam?

    Don’t. Even. Think. About. It.

  • Renovations: Our Bunny Barrier

    Lately I’ve been unhappy with the placement of our box. (Well, I’ve been unhappy about a lot of things – like being brushed, having my nails clipped, being picked up, breakfast being late, dinner not having enough parsley, insufficient treats, too much attempts at petting me, but… I won’t get into that.)

    So, I finally decided to move it myself, since dad is useless in this regard.

    different kind of bunny barrier

    As a bonus, our box now serves as a barrier to our area that only we can get through!

    We also decorated it, to make sure dad understands the meaning and stops trying to move it back. Hopefully this time he gets the point.

  • Honestly, We’re NOT Snuggling

    I’m not snuggling with Betsy in this picture. Nope.

    snuggle bunnies - betsy and gus

    I’m actually using her for a pillow. See, only my head is resting on her.

    Obviously.
