• More Hay, Please

    Um, dad, we need some more hay.

    more hay please

    What’s that? No, I don’t see any hay left. Nope. None at all. There’s none in this picture – the bowl is completely empty.

  • Sleepy

    This warm weather just makes me sleepy.

    Or maybe it’s the cool, air-conditioned inside of the house that makes me sleepy?

    Or maybe it’s just my extraordinarily busy lifestyle?

    Anyway, it’s nap-time.

    ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………..

  • Hide-and-Seek

    I’ve found the best hiding spot EVER.

    gus is hiding

    Pretty sweet, eh? I know, I totally blend right into the background.

    Just don’t tell dad where I am.

  • The World is my Carrot Patch

    Sometimes I like to just sit and look around at my domain. Because we all know that everything I can see (and chin) belongs to me.

    gus surveying his domain

    Hmmm what is that beeping sound I can hear?

    gus looks into the camera

    Oh. It’s just you dad. Taking pictures again, huh? *sigh* I will never understand your obsession with that sort of stuff. You should just go munch some hay or something – do something productive with your time, like me.

    Oh, that reminds me – it’s time for my second mid-morning nap. Bye for now!

  • Lounging About

    Since this is MY home, it’s only natural that I can lounge around wherever I want.

    Like, say, just outside dad’s office door.

    gus lounging just outside my office

    Perfectly natural, right?

    Well, apparently dad just doesn’t understand. He was totally confused as to why I was laying there. He just doesn’t get it.

    I don’t think he ever will!

  • Nothing to See Here

    I was doing some exploring this morning when dad came out. So, like any sensible bunny, I froze, hoping he wouldn’t see me.

    betsy hiding behind furniture

    Obviously, my fur is perfect camouflage for my environment. I totally just blend in, right?

    Is he gone yet?

    betsy looking up from her hiding spot

    Darn! He’s still there! I guess I better get out of here before I get into trouble…

    why are you taking pictures of me

    Um… dad… why are you following me? I don’t like that.

    go away - nothing to see here, move along

    I’m… just going to wait over here, a safe distance away from you, until you go away and I can get back to mischief… errr… I mean, get back to… um… being a perfectly good little bunny girl?

  • Beware

    Mum says I gave her atrial flutter with this look.

    gus's total disapproval

    I cannot be held responsible for whatever happens to you as a result of looking at this picture.

  • Rabbit Rescue in San Jose

    People who dump rabbits outside like this are the worst kind of people. I’d bite their ankles if I ever came across them. And the teenagers who shoot the dumped rabbits? I’d show them how much I’m like that rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail!!!

    Although my mum and dad regularly donate money to the kind people at SaveABunny, they need foster homes pretty badly as well. Unfortunately, these things always seem to happen way over on the other side of the country from us.

    So if you happen to live near this San Jose place and can share a bit of your home with a poor lost bunny… well I think that’d be a great thing for you to do.

    My dad likes to say “you can judge people based on how they treat their animals.” Things like this make me wonder about you two-foots sometimes…

  • Our Friend Hans is Gone

    Our Internet-buddy Hans (from Furrybutts) is gone.

    hans-mug-shot

    This makes us (and our dad and mum) very sad. Even though we never sniffed him, we still think of our Internet bun-friends the same as our we’ve-sniffed-your-butt friends.

    We’re sending comforting and soothing thoughts to everyone back at Furrybutts (bunnies and humans included). Take care, guys.

    With all our sympathies,

    -Gus (and Betsy, and mum, and dad)

  • Our Wild Cousins

    Apparently some of our wild cousins were visiting yesterday evening. Maybe they heard that Betsy was in lockdown and came to break us out?

    wild rabbit

    Apparently there were two of them, but dad could only get photos of one.

    wild rabbit licking leg

    Hey, I do that too!

    wild rabbit leg outstretched

    There’s nothing wrong with leaving your leg outstretched after licking it. You need to check out your surroundings, but you might want to go back to licking your leg – you never know!

    wild rabbit inching forward

    I guess it’s time for him to get a move on – our wild cousins never sit still for very long.

    Still, it was nice of them to visit!
