• Eating

    Dad says I eat my carrots “weird.”

    He says I should hold them in front of me, and that eating them when they are on my side like this “must be awkward.”

    Somehow, I think no matter how I eat my carrot I’d still end up with a bright orange paw.

    But honestly, who has time for thinking about how to hold your food when there’s a carrot to be eaten?? *OM NOM NOM NOM*

    I do love my carrots!

  • Look What I Have to put up With

    The other night, I was just trying to relax, but Betsy was flipping the little hay basket thing around… and this is what happened:

    gus with hay basket on his back

    Actually, when it first landed it was pretty much on the middle of my bum – in the time it took dad to run and get the camera, it slid off a little bit.

    Dad saw this all of course, and being the sensitive person he is, he laughed at me. I did not approve of this.

    Betsy denied any wrongdoing… but honestly I was too tired to move because of it. So I just sat there. Eventually it slid off my backside and fell on the floor.

    But dad sure did think it was funny.

  • The Stages of Disapproval

    First stage – disapproval from a distance:

    gus is sooky

    Second stage – indifference:

    Third stage – annoyance:

    gus is not amused

    Fourth and final stage – absolute disdain:

    Warning: exposure to high intensity rabbit disapproval may be hazardous to your health, and may cause small electronic devices to spontaneously explode.

  • Digging in the Tubes

    Dad says there’s been some problems with his website recently (like yesterday) but that he’s working on it. Something about a bad plugin in WordPress filling up his disk quota with errors or something.

    Whatever, dad. Isn’t it time for you to feed me, anyway?

  • A Story from my Youth

    The other day dad reminded me of a story from when I was a young, little bunny.

    When I first came to live with mum & dad, they tried very hard to make sure I was OK with all the strange noises that were around where they lived.

    One night, there was a thunderstorm – it was the first thunderstorm since I’d come to live with mum & dad. Dad wasn’t sure I’d know what lightning and thunder was, and thought it might scare me (it did end up getting quite close, so it was really loud). So dad stayed up with me that night, talking to me until the thunderstorm was gone.

    Of course, he didn’t have to do this – I’m a smart bunny and I know that you’re safe when you’re in a house. I was totally relaxed the entire time.

    Of course it was nice of dad to stay up. But now he knows that thunder and lightning really doesn’t bother me – or Betsy, for that matter. Though dad still does stay up late with us sometimes – he’s just weird like that. (He can stay up as late as he likes – as long as he’s up on time for treats in the morning!!!)

  • A Message From Dad

    Dad says that someone’s told him that they’re having trouble when leaving our website. Being a particularly weird sort of human, he takes those sorts of problems seriously.

    If it was me, I’d say just nibble the cords on your computer until the problem goes away. I hear Betsy is available for this sort of work, if you need help.

    You may also want to try having a rabbit sit near your computer and disapprove of it. I’m sure the concentrated disapproval will scare your computer into behaving correctly.

    Dad says if you have problems with our website you can get in touch with him here.

    OK dad, now I did your silly announcement – now give me a treat!!

  • I Love My Mummy!!!

    Last night, my mummy came home with DANDELION GREENS!!! MY FAVORITE!!!

    Dad said he’s tried to find them for us, but that they’ve been hard to find lately – whatever, dad. Mum found them. That makes mum 100x better than you.

    I love dandelion greens… YUM!

  • Snuggles

    Gus is such a softie – he’s always trying to snuggle up to me.

    But… maybe he just wants to increase his chances of getting groomed?

    Maybe… ahh who knows. I just want to make sure dad gets my good side!

  • I Guess We Like The New Chair

    It’s not so bad; you can hide behind it really easily.

    Just don’t tell dad – I want him to think we still disapprove of it!
