I love clean litterbox day.

It’s almost Easter again, which is traditionally the time of year I try to remind people that Bunnies are not Toys. We are real, living creatures that need love, care, and attention – and not just for a little while when we’re small and cute.
Yet some people still insist on giving baby bunnies as gifts to children, just because it’s Easter.
Well, I think you know what I have to say about that:
You wouldn’t give someone a cat or a dog as an Easter gift, so why would you give a rabbit?
I was “given” as a gift for Easter and then abandoned when the people I was given to got tired of caring for me (just shortly after Easter). I don’t want to see that happen to anybun again, which is why I keep bringing up this subject ever year.
Instead of giving a live rabbit, people should just stick to chocolate ones, or stuffed toys. That’ll make Easter a happier time for everyone.

Our friend (and fellow conspirator in bunny mischief) Freckles is gone.
This makes me very sad. I always saw a lot of myself in Freckles – I think we were kindred spirits or something. We kind of looked the same (sort-of) and we both liked to destroy things like phone books! (So what if that makes me a kindred spirit with almost every bunny out there?)
Me and Gus and Dad and Mum all send our sympathies to Freckles’ mum, Deb.
Freckles, we’ll miss you, but we’ll see you again someday!

Dad put something new in his office, so of course we had to investigate.
It’s always a good idea to be cautious when approaching something new.
I know dad is watching me, so I keep an eye on him to see if this is some sort of trick.
Betsy helped me check this thing out.
I was satisfied that this new thing was not a trick, but at the same time, wasn’t anything I could eat, so I left. Betsy, on the other hand, wanted to give it a more thorough sniffing.
Even Betsy wasn’t quite sure about this new thing.
Betsy was sure to let dad know that she disapproves. I’m sure she’ll also show her disapproval later, when dad’s not watching, by chewing the new thing.
In the end, it was a very disappointing surprise.

It’s official: Betsy and I are now on Twitter. We’ve forced dad to put some sort of “twitter widget” on the right-hand side of our blog here, so you don’t even really need to use twitter to see what we’re saying (although to save space it only shows the 3 most recent tweets from each of us). If you’re reading our blog from Google reader or some other RSS-type reader thingy, you’ll need to actually visit our site to see the twitter stuff.
You can also just check out our twitter pages directly; we’re on Twitter as:
There’s also an RSS feed of each of our tweets so you can get them in Google reader or whatever you use, if you prefer.
Don’t worry though, we’ll keep posting pictures & stuff here just the same as always… at least, until we reach the next stage of our Total Bunny Conquest Plan!
