The Life and Times of Bunnies

  • Not About Us

    Our Internet-bunny-friend Orlando Bun has had some tummy trouble recently, but we hear he’s doing better now. This is very good! I know I hated it when my tummy was upset – and not just because I didn’t feel well, either. Mum and dad watch Gus and I like scary hawks when we eat to make sure we’re… well, eating. And when we don’t… out comes that nasty critical-care slop. Yuk! And who likes being held down and forced to eat, anyway? Not me!!

    Anyway, since I know first hand what it’s like, I just wanted to send Orlando some nose-bumps, and to say I’m relieved to hear he’s doing better (Gus is relieved too).

    I guess I could do like an educational commercial for rabbits:

    12 servings of Timothy Hay per day are part of a healthy diet. Hay – it’s what’s for dinner!

    Hmmm actually I wonder how many times per day I go eat out of the hay bowl… time to start counting!

  • Vote RABBIT!

    Although I am still miffed to learn that rabbits do not have a vote in this upcoming election-thingy, I thought I would take a moment to remind everyone who CAN vote who they should vote for:

    That’s right. You know what you have to do – wait, what? He’s not on the ballot??? This is clearly a human conspiracy to deny us rabbits our inalianable rights to vote and disapprove!!!

    OK, so new plan: everyone just write in Mr. Pinkerton. If you don’t, I may just have to disapprove of you.

  • The Story of “The Mysterious Kitty-Bunny”

    Dad found this story of a lonley, almost-starving kitty who came and lived with some bunnies (and turned out to prefer vegetables over cat food!).

    Of course, I can’t help but notice that one of the rabbits there looks a lot like me!

    Still, it’s a very nice story, and I’m glad the kitty is eating and being taken care of. Still, it was weird for dad to have found this story on a site that normally talks about those video-game thingies. Ah well, we all know that rabbits transcend all boundaries and barriers!

    One of the commenters to the story said:

    “I’ve always joked that rabbits are just vegan cats. Maybe I wasn’t joking.”

    While not stricly true, it is a good analogy – one that even dad uses sometimes to explain keeping rabbits indoors to people who don’t “get it.”

    Me? I just always like to see animals rescued (being a rescue myself). Speaking of which, maybe I should go give mum and dad a nose bump for saving me…

  • Grounded, YET AGAIN

    Oops.

    After breakfast this morning we… got on the couch again. But dad heard us “plop” on the cusions and came out – he was REALLY mad. He squirted us with water, clapped his hands, said “no!” and then locked us up in our area AGAIN.

    He said this is a new record for us – just two hours after being let out, we’re in trouble again. He said “next time you’re both going to end up in the ‘bad bunny box’!”

    He’s no fun.

  • Another Award!

    We got another award!

    Thanks to Erin @ Life at the Zoo for giving us this very special award! Thank you so much!

    Honestly, I don’t know how dad can justify grounding us for a whole day when we are clearly such talented bunnies with a huge number of fans.

    We’re supposed to pick some other blogs to pass this award on to… but it’s so hard! And, we’re biased towards anything with bunnies in it.

    Well, we’ll try:

    Whew! So, if you are reading this and you’re one of the people we’ve named… we think you deserve this award, too!!

  • Grounded, Again

    Dad caught us both on the couch today. We’re not supposed to be up there. He squirted us with water and then we were grounded for the rest of the day.

    I tried sulking, but dad didn’t react.

    Maybe… I shouldn’t get on the couch? At least, not when dad’s around!

  • Uh, Oh – Christmas Cards

    I overheard mom talking about “Christmas cards” the other night… something about “dressing us up.”

    I do not approve of this idea!

  • On The Couch

    Dad caught me on the couch today, dragging my front paws on the cushions. He wasn’t happy.

    He squirted me with water. I didn’t like that. He said if I am caught up there again that I’ll be put in the “bad bunny box.”

    I wonder what he means by that?

    Maybe I should re-think my recreational strategy.
