THE END .....

Yup ... the end of 2009 - a year that will go down as one of the most unhappy ever for many, many people all over the world.

We here at the House of Rabbits do resolve to continue into 2010 bringing smiles, chuckles, wise tidbits of bunny logic and knowledge, and bumbling 2-foots for all who care to partake!

So, be forewarned and Happy New Year!

BL IS BACK .......

Go tidy up every bunn .....

(Made it, whew ... everyone safe and sound ... gonna be some good salads tonight!)

GOOD STICKS, BAD STICKS ....

Well, well. Lookee here ... RG has at least one good skill! Stick finding.

Here's a Fer-Two!!!

BAD Sticks.


GOOD Sticks.

A neighbor pruned his apple tree and gave us the branches a few days ago. Obviously a success I am! (One more day ... come ON BL - don't fail me.)

CHICO VS. BLANKY ....

This is Chico ... Chico likes his Blanky. This is Chico's Blanky ....

What's not to like????

OK - so Benji likes to eat salad UPSTAIRS with Goldie DOWNSTAIRS. That was not on the instructions note....

DON'T BOTHER LOOKING THERE, BENJI ....

You won't find her ... BL (along with Baxter's person) has gone off to the Beach for 4 days. RG is in charge. "Keep Calm and Carry On" .... what more can we do? Statler and Waldorf ... the two muppets that sit in the side box and trash the performance. Yes - Goldie and Benji have been paying attention.

It's true ... only me to do the breakfasts, tidy and freshen up the outside pens and ferry everybunn out, clean the condos and be sure there is plenty of hay, clean water, pellets, oats, fresh sticks, and treats, ferry everybunn in, give plenty of cuddles and snuggles, and then make and serve salads in the evening. The probability of a successful tour of duty is????? ..................

NO COMMENT ....

So buzz off ....

(I don't think Christmas was a big hit ...)

SO, BENJI .....

What did you like best about Christmas???

..... take plenty of time to think this through, Benji ....

MERRY CHRISTMAS ....

And all the best from the Cookie Makers!

COOKIE MAKIN'

Yum! Pick your favorite...

INSIDE I'M CHEERFULLY BRIGHT - REALLY.

What's the verdict? Does Racer have a black, black soul or is he just "The Man in Black"? Or - ?

GET A SECOND JOB, SANTA .....

It's gonna take some doin' to fill all these delights --- and me and BL haven't gotten ours up yet either!

PS- back a few posts where we were looking for caption ideas for Benji and Goldie in the litter box - SCOUT's people suggest "Two Pees in a Pod" !!!

AIN'T NO REINDEER, BABY ....

"Ho Ho Ho .... BL says this is SCOUT, who is our friend. We have never seen him." The Bunns.

LET'S GET 'ER GOING ......

Chico (and his pals) wish everybody a grand holiday season, whatever your celebratory pleasure!

And - for our US East Coast friends - THIS was OUR Dec 19, LAST year!!! Hang in there.

FRAMED ...

Or ... is she just the Center of Attention???
About that birthday cake ....

No, the many, many candles did not melt all over it. THAT was an exquisite glaze of many tantalizing flavors and textures! The cake began in a bundt pan with lots of ingredients including quite a few white-chocolate chips. When it got dumped out of the pan, quite a bit stayed in, stuck in .. thus the attractive and decorative uneven look. Since I was the designated pan-washer, I ate the stuff still stuck in the pan and enjoyed the white-chocolate chips mixed in .. the whole bit was quite gooey and yummy.

When BL finally served the cake, it was not very gooey and nobody commented on the neato white-chocolate chips in there - in fact BL commented that there did not seem to be ANY. I guess they all had settled to the original bottom of the cake - which got stuck in the pan and thus enjoyed totally by me - as it should have been!!!! W00T!

You guys on the East coast of the US of A where the blizzard rages. Keep Calm and Carry On.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

IT'S MINE! TODAY! FUN! (NO - NOT TELLING.)
I WILL - OLD!
By the way - Audrey is back in the States at the ZOO!

CAPTION NEEDED ....

Leave as comment .............

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.............

For me?

HOW TO BRIGHTEN A LIFE !!!!

It's been more than a week of below freezing - the ground is frozen solid. We got an inch of snow on top of it. Now is coming a warm spell and rain. Every joint and bone aches. The Holiday Season is in full swing ... taking its stressful toll. Two sliced up shoulders still trying to recover. Too much to do, too little time. A rotten economy - touching us on many fronts.

Who ya gonna call????

ZOEY! MY ZOEY!!!! :<)

THANKS, GOLDIE ....

That's OK this time Benji ... but ... you owe me ALL of tonight's oats!

NO OFFICER, SORRY .....

"There has not been a little gray and white bunny around here lately .... why do you ask? What did he do now ... er, I mean ... bad?"

Do you happen to know someone doing something REALLY inspirational? Today I learned that a friend of mine has ridden his bike to and from the bus to his work place (22 miles round trip) on average of 16 days per month this year. It is often windy, cold, drizzle, and dark! He works for the Washington State Department of Ecology and is aiming for the Pat Holm award for the employee who rides the most days AND the most miles in the calendar year! (That is over 4,000 miles a year!)

In other exciting news .... I FINALLY got a reply from the folks who sent Audrey out and around. I guess the person that started it and was supposed to keep their web-info up to date quit and now some other lucky duck has the job. I sent them the complete itinerary of Audrey since we got her last June, including the links to all her stops and adventures. I'll let you know if there is some cool stuff put up on their site about it!

DANG - THE GOOD STUFF'S GONE .....

- 'fraid so Benji-Lou. You might query the blonde you live with.

WHAT THE ..... ???

Come on RG - there might be good stuff in here.

Hey .. if you need a Christmas charitable act yet, please check out our friend Laura (aka Friend of the Animals) at RenoRabbits and maybe lend a hand. Thanks.

IN IS GOOD, HERE .....

It has gone below 20 degrees at night and not made freezing during the day for the past few. This bunny has "Keep Warm" figured out! Just deliver her meals to the door.

OF THIS I APPROVE .....

Savannah ............

HELP .............

The remote gizmo failed on the old one (who wants to get up and "change the channel" when there are 121 of them?) so we broke down and got one of the genormous flat ones .... but the wiring of components is like the jitterbug - it plumb evades me ....
Oh - right, Benji - wouldn't YOU like to help?????

ANOTHER BUNNY ETIQUETTE TIP ...

"If the invitation says 'Black Tie' ...

... be bold and take no chances ....." - Winnie

OH BAXTER, LOOK!

Company is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoopie-ding ..................

AMSCRAYED ...

The Toes, The Nose, The Works .... all gone. Somebunny picked the lock.

(Actually it was a very pretty day and the bunns got out to their outside quarters for some romping and fresh air. Now Mr. Racer is safe and sound back in his "Cell" and quite happy about it too.)

FREE THE TOES ....

Join the growing movement to free these toes. Send $$$ and bunny treats too ....

(What's that you say? "Why are they behind bars?" Doesn't matter - just join the protest.)

BUNNY ETIQUETTE TIP #4

At formal dinners, always place your bunny to the left of the plate, facing you.

(I can't understand it .. 9 people looked at Sticky Buns today. We haven't added a new Sticky Bun for months! Usually about three a week look! I bet they were hoping for a recipe... but gosh ... they got sweet bunnys instead!)

LUCKY'S ADVICE ....

SAVE THE TURKEYS ..... TREAT A BUNNY ...

BAXTER'S PERSON....

Baxter and his person enjoying some post Thanksgiving time!!!

One of Baxter's person's persons made these to go along with our celebration!

IT'S THANKSGIVING ....

The cranberrys are missing .....

EARS, CHAIR, AND CHICO ...

Another keeper!

Chico has those nice thick triangular ears like Zoey - both Lionheads. I believe they can angle them any way they want! He's got all directions covered here!

AUDREY!!!

Remember Audrey - the world-traveling bunny? Left here quite awhile ago and spent time with Sage in Canada and then Cadbury in Texas. Then she went to England and has been unheard from for some time. But - now she has surfaced and so go over to Bunnies, Needles, and Books for the latest pix and news.

Zoey's ears ... I think she hears the treat-bag opening!

MORE BAXTER ...

... on BL's lap. He was not planning on going anywhere soon!

A BAXTER IN YOUR CHAIR ....

... is good.

WHAT ABOUT WINSTON???

What do you Ear-A-Zisstables think about young Mr. Winston's future???

(And do rest assured. Lucky has registered the sternest of disapprovals about his photo. We can expect no less.)

SO IF YOU COULD SEE MORE OF LUCKY'S EARS ....

... what would HIS fortune be? (You all sure nailed Chico to a "T"!)

OK EVERYBODY ....

Let's see who can tell Chico's fortune from examining these ears ...

(OK, so we snagged the idea from elsewhere, but still .. we took the picture way before.)
