Sleeping Through Sunday

I had one of those Sundays where you crawl out of bed 2 hours later than you would normally, feed the bunnies and then go back to bed. It's a rare thing, which makes it all the more surprising that I wasn't woken up before then by the thundering din of stereophonic stair-gate rattling.

Did Whisky and Anouska (Bobbit's not much of a rattler) decide they were going to let me lie in, or did I sleep through the cacophony? They were also surprisingly calm over breakfast...

"We have decided not to punish you today. Apparently there's a big fat bloke with a beard keeping a list of who's been naughty this year. I think you should consider yourself on it, but perhaps you might try to buy yourself off it with treats?"

Large Bundron Collider

"...and through this tube here is where the tiny super-carroton particles travel at high speed before crashing into each other, hopefully merging to form new, bigger particles called 'snacks'..."

Remembering Elvis

Today I will be remembering my dear Elvis, who died two years ago on this date, his life taken by a tumour hidden deep in his tummy and not diagnosed until it was too late.

Elvis, you were a wonderful, handsome boy and good companion to my beloved Jemima. It brought me so much joy to see you enjoying your life, running, digging and watching the world go by from your favourite spot. Oh how you loved that spot! No matter how good or bad my day was, looking out the window and seeing you sat there sunning yourself always made me feel happier.

I wonder how much of your personality was shaped by your previous life and your days surviving as a stray. You were always so happy doing your own thing, playing and chomping grass in the garden, but never a great fan of humans.

I miss you, my big orange boy. Like so many of my rabbit friends, you died far too young, I wish your life could have been a longer, happier and less painful one than it was. I hope you have found peace. You will always have a place in my heart.

Too Early For Xmas Hats?

"Less than a month to Xmas now, have you decided what you are going to get us? Those hats with our names on you promised might be nice, so you can tell us apart and won't have to keep tagging us ALL in these blog posts."

"And if you're worried about me chomping holes for my ears, look, I could totally wear mine with my ears down!"

Tuesday Tail #34

"Puny human! No longer will I submit to your totalitarian control of the snack-barrow! For I, Archimedes, having trained for several afternoons in the ancient art of Bun-Fu, shall now humiliate you in paw-to-hand combat. Prepare to fight!"

"Get ready for...Gah! What's this??!! You have mastered Shaolin-Head-Stroke?!"

"Argh! That's the Ninja-Cuddle-Palm!"

"I am sorry my beloved. I have dishonoured bunny kind. I was defeated in battle."

"It is a sad day, my darling Archimedes. While you hang your head in shame, I shall point my bottom of disapproval in his general direction."

Choccy Moufs

It feels like we've had so many choccy loppy bunnies that I can't keep track of who is who (without checking with Caroline or their records anyway). I'm pretty sure Guylian and Lindor are brothers from one of the litters, or at least related. Even apart from their shape and colour, they just seem so similar somehow...
