The Life and Times of Bunnies

  • Very Busy

    Dad was wondering what Betsy and I were doing behind the chair in his office the other day.

    gus is very busy

    So I told him we’re very, very busy, doing very, very important things.

    Like napping.

    I think he got the hint.

  • Bunny Enlightenment

    Dad doesn’t understand why I hang out by our Buddha statute sometimes.

    gus and the buddah, again

    I told him he’ll never reach bunny enlightenment with that sort of attitude.

  • Not Up To Anything

    What’s that dad? You think we’re up to something? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Nope, Gus isn’t up to anything either.

    Nothing suspicious here, dad. I’m absolutely not eying your table legs. Just move along, there’s nothing to see.

  • How’d You Get In Here?

    Lately, dad’s been sticking his nose (or rather, his camera) into places he shouldn’t be. Like into our maze haven thingy.

     …anyway, this is the inside of our hideaway. I’ve made some alterations myself of course to suit our taste. What do you think?

  • I’m Not Grumpy

    Dad says I’m always a little grumpy looking when I wake up from my naps.

    I don’t know what he’s talking about.

    Um….

    gus is not amused

    Oh, dad, you are so going to get it for this one.

  • Just Chillin’

    gus is just chillin

    So the other day I’m just chillin’ in dad’s office, just relaxing and thinking about bunny stuff, when dad gets off his chair and comes down to my level.

    Naturally, I had to investigate.

    gus - ears forward

    Sadly, there were no treats to be had – just dad and his stupid camera. Which you can’t eat. (Trust me on this one – I’ve tried.)

  • My Name Written All Over It

    Mum and dad have a nickname for me; they sometimes call me “little bear.” I guess because… I have brown in my fur, like a bear? Or maybe it’s because I’m ferocious like a bear?

    Anyway, apparently this means that this parsley is specifically for me – sorry Gus, you’re out of luck. This one is all mine – after all, it’s got my “name” written all over it!

  • Mid-Morning Snack

    Sometimes mum puts out a mid-morning snack for us by giving us some parsley to munch on (usually after we – or more often, just Betsy – pester her by begging near the kitchen door).

    Unfortunately for us, dad was up and alert this time, doing his stupid photo thing.

    Do you think you’re being clever or something, dad? You’re not fooling anyone.

    gus wonders why breakfast hasn't been served yet

    Now put that camera down and give me some treats.

    Or, y’know, you could take a video of us eating. I guess that’s OK too. Just don’t interrupt us, OK?

  • Hide and Seek

    I’m not very good at this game.

  • Floppy New Year

    This year I decided to start the new year off with a really big flop.

    gus flopped 2

    Dad saw this and thought it was particularly noteworthy, so he came and took my picture.

    I think maybe I’ll aim to improve my flopping and napping techniques this year. How about you?
