The Life and Times of Bunnies

  • Gus Got In Trouble

    Gus doesn’t want to talk about it, but I will. This morning he was chewing on the back of the chair in dad’s office – a big no-no! And dad heard him and came over and saw him.

    Gus did what I would have done – froze and hoped that daddy would go away – but daddy wasn’t happy with Gus. We’re not supposed to chew things in daddy’s office that aren’t made of cardboard.

    So dad reached down to shoo Gus away, but before he could get close, Gus bolted. He knew he was doing something wrong – I told him he shouldn’t have done that!

    I have a feeling that Gus isn’t going to get any treats today. I warned you, Gus!

    UPDATE: Oh dear. It seems I couldn’t resist chewing that same spot, once Gus had started it. But it had those threads hanging down… it was just too good. I think we’ve both upset daddy. He went and put a box behind the chair so we can’t get there anymore. Oh dear, oh dear…

  • Up late with dad

    Last night, my dad stayed up really late with Betsy and I. It was fun to run around, knowing he was watching us. I ran as fast as I could all the way across the house, just to impress him. But you’ve gotta play it cool when you’re done – just act natural, like it was no big deal that you sprinted at full speed across the whole house. So I nibbled on the grass mat after I did that.

    I’m pretty sure my dad was impressed.

  • Moving Furniture

    My dad went and moved the chair in his office yesterday… while I was still under it!

    I don’t mind having stuff moved (it’s nice because you have to explore it all again when it changes) but… not while I’m under it!

    I gave him a foot-flick on my way out of the office, for good measure.

  • Mmmm, Papaya Tablets

    My dad bought some papaya tablets again. Mmmm… they are my favorite! Even better than dried cranberries or banana!

    Thanks, dad! Yum!

  • Please Don’t Steal Bunnies

    We just read this story about how 3 bunnies were stolen from a New Jersey home. We felt so awful. Who would steal a bunny, let alone 3? And apparently we live in New Jersey now, as well. (All states look pretty much the same through bunny-vision.)

    Betsy and I agree on this one. Please don’t steal bunnies. If anyone knows anything about these 3 bunnies, please let the owner know. I’d like nothing more than to hear about how they got back home safe & sound.

  • I Can’t Believe I Never Found This Before

    I can’t believe I never found this before. Or, rather, that my dad & mum never found this before. It’s a show called “Rabbit Bites.” It has two rabbits who sort of look like Betsy and I – one lop, and one regular bunny (but not white). It’s very, very funny! I enjoyed watching all the past episodes over the weekend with my dad.

    Oh, and my dad said something about it being easier to watch the episodes in “iTunes?” I dunno. I just love watching other bunnies on TV!

  • I’m not mad, just sleepy

    My dad says this would make a good entry for “Disapproving Rabbits,” but I wasn’t mad or anything. I was just sleepy from the nap I had been taking!

  • I’m acrobatic, too!

    Gus isn’t the only one who climbs on top of things and jumps down from them. I can do that, too!

    See?

  • Cardboard Boxes

    I just love chewing cardboard. I love the sound it makes when you rip it up.

    My dad let me sneak into the garage the other day and chew on some big cardboard boxes – it was great!

  • On Being Picked Up

    Lately, my dad has been picking me up a lot more. I used to hate being picked up soooooo much, but now I guess I’m sort of getting used to it. (I still don’t really like it, though.) The good side of it is that I tend to get a massage on my back from my dad after he picks me up, and that’s kind of nice.
