RELAX TO THE BAX .....

Sometimes Baxter can't decide to tuck it up or stretch it out! Must feel good like this - what a life! Melrose apples ... the little tree made quite a few ... yummm, we like ummm.

GETTIN' BY....

The main shop-vac died - actually just the switch, which is not replaceable. Turned on and off about 3,000 times. BL risked her life to go out near where the new Wal - Mart Super store just opened, in order to get a new one. Those people headed for those basement-bottom-bargains are crazy drivers and nearly whacked her with a giant SUV! But she got it, and in the house and put together and it runs and she never even read the directions!!! YAY BL! Our Katsura tree today! We all see it from our outside deck spots. BUT! BIG wind and rain coming ... all the leaves will fall toot sweet. (Smells like roasting marshmallows.)

What? BIG STORM? GO AWAY. I'm fine.
Yes Racer guy, you surely are that!

SCRITCH, SCRATCH ....

Dang, I think I'm allergic to fewer treats. BL does not hand them out like RG does. He needs to get better or something.


My word above .... was that a slight hint of caring she has there for me????

MOOOOUUUM......

Lucky still is hogging all the sushine ..... Oh Winston, you big fat tattle-tale ....

I WANT THAT SUNNY SPOT ....

Move Lucky, I want that sunny spot.

Tough, Winnie. I was here first.

BUNZZ IN THE SUNZZ .....

What a nice day in Tocktober!

HE'S BAAAAACK......

I saw him Benji, he is back.

How did he seem, Chico? Well Benji, he looks funny, he smells funny, and he acts funny.

But, Chico, IS he funny?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... he is grumpy.

You would be too if you were sliced open on your shoulder, had your shoulder bone scraped smooth, and then had your rotator cuff reattached. Hooray for pain pills, Bunny Lady, and old oriental healing practices.

Sounds like no treats from him for awhile, Cheekers.

A LITTLE WORD FROM THE BUNNS ....

Have you heard the news? RG is having his right shoulder sliced, diced, and fixed Wed. Oct 7 AM. In by 7, home by noon. Drugged for 4 days. Arm in sling for 6 weeks. BL on caretaker duty - a very good choice.

We wish him a speedy recovery ... otherwise fewer treats.

and then .... BL called OxBow (BL would call the Pope if she needed his assistance or advice!) They said that they had lots of complaints of pellets with the date below. They told her they had every scientist in the place analyze every pellet every which way but loose and they could NOT find a single difference between these pellets and other batches. Hmpfff .. why the heck didn't they just ask a rabbit in the first place? You suppose NO rabbits even work there? How do they test? Good grief - all companies have "typical" product testers. What a bunch of meatballs. Thumps..........

I'M SOOO UNAWARE ....

Unaware is a far too kind and gentle word for the total "out of itedness" I suffer from. Of COURSE it should have been a Royal Burgundy Velvet material with Golden tie backs and Swags ... even BL would of told me THAT (if I'lda asked ... what? ask directions?) .... sigh


Hey, Goldie - have you heard the one about the boob that had ten rabbits ....
(Ha Ha Ha ... Goldie still loves me.)

I DON'T REMEMBER .....

... being asked about this addition.

I hung this piece of old towel over the little "kitty" door for The Princess. It will keep cold winter drafts out some, and seal up around the edges when the door is shut at night.

I wonder how long it will last?

DON'T MOVE MY CHEESE .....

Savannah has rotated and flipped her box, moved it closer to the partition by The Princess, and rearranged the fleecy on top. I guess she is sending a message ....

By the way ... we have new bags of OxBow Basic Bunny/T and it seems like most of the bunns are not eating much of it. They eat greens, hay, treats, fruits, etc. but not the pellets much. Anybody else having this issue?

Busy and hectic around here .. should settle down soon.



Wednesday, September 30, 2009

IT'S STILL HERE ...

... this box. Fun!

PS - we had the great room carpet cleaned today. Please don't tell the bunns .............

Monday, September 28, 2009

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ....

That WAS some adventure I had the other night - left out 'till midnight with all those new and strange places to investigate. I got to see where Baxter and Zoey play and where Winston and Lucky play. I left them some calling cards!!!! Got extra treats too. Guilt works.

Oh .... here is Pink from Eye of the Needle after too many marigold petals!!!!



Sunday, September 27, 2009

SO, LUCKY, DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ...

I dunno .. maybe Lucky has been grounded and can't come out to play .... or ... ???

Saturday, September 26, 2009

BAXTER'S PERSON !!!!

Baxter's person* is here visiting now! Baxter is happy. Can't you tell????

* One of BL's twin daughters from Wenatchee ... she was here when Baxter was found and brought to the House of Rabbits, and she just thought he was a Baxter - and so he is! From the old Arthur TV show.

HAYBURNER ....

Savannah just about finished with that wisp ... too late with the ol' camera.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

WAIT'LL YOU HEAR THIS!

Company is here again .. long time friend of BL. We're being treated well anyway except -

They FORGOT Racer last evening when they brought us in! They left ALL the deck gates open and Racer had the run of the place out there until midnight! We all agree - our intrepid Racer was exactly the bunn to first experience this "opportunity".


Can you BELIEVE that? tsk tsk ....

(Here are BL and her friend in March of 2001 with The Princess when The Princess was just 10 weeks old and we still had use of our deck.)



Monday, September 21, 2009

BENJI UP !!!!

Are you done now Mister???? ...and the treats are where???

Sunday, September 20, 2009

WATCH OUT BELOW .......

There's People Stuff .................... PFFFFTTTTTTTTTT ................

We took a quick trip to Seattle ... Mercer Island actually - Poverty Rock it is known as. #1 Son is renting a house there and BL had to go make some special Czechoslovakian Gyros - yumm




Now, today BL goes off to the Skagit River, slides down a bank to some rocks, and commences to fish for Pink Salmon with about 50 zillion other people. NEVER bet against BL and fishing ....



I, RG did the cleaning, filleting, and grilling - a lemon-butter basting and BBQ-sauce glaze. This is eat local week here. Her fish, his potatoes, and the neighbor's sweet corn!
More rabbits tomorrow - promise.

HE'S MINE !!!!

Baxter is MY guy - got it?

Zoey ... The Right Honourable Ambassador of the Bunny-mint to the underdeveloped lands of the Pacific Northwest.

Thursday, September 17, 2009

BAXTER'S THE NAME ....

Handsome's the game ... I'm "taken"

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

OH .... HAI

What do YOU want?


Oh - er, nothing. Just passing by.

A SLIGHT DISTRACTION ....

Number one Grand-daughter came up for a visit before heading off to College - Yr 1!We went to Guemes Island and walked the beaches and hiked the hills ...
always a favorite.

Found a nice collection of agates ...
Came back for some great Bunny Lady dinner and CLUE! - our traditional game. (Doggone that Miss Scarlett - I was SURE it was her.)




On the way taking her back I stopped at the Frank Wagner Elementary School in Monroe, Washington.



Thousands of Vaux Swifts spend the night in the chimney - it's their annual south-bound migration - and the folks sure come to watch! Most everyone wore this hat!






This is last year's count ...






I was too early and could not stay .. there is the famous chimney and to the left a guy in a Swift Suit! It's a pretty big deal ....






The Boyz ... not impressed. Not impressed at all ....












Friday, September 11, 2009

WAIT GOLDIE ....

Let Benji look first ... it might be too scary behind that new box ....

Excited? Yes. Disappointed? Yes. - Just the box, not the berries! But boy oh boy - it was sure the place to be for quite awhile.

Thursday, September 10, 2009

TOO NICE TO STAY IN ...

Fortunately, Bunnies have short memories (he says, hopefully) ... too nice for them to hide out. Besides, I'm working on Bunny ID 101 ....

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

HIDING OUR FACES ....

We are SO ashamed ... our trusted keeper (well, the dumb one anyway) is dumber than we ever thought. Can you imagine a hoomin who could not even remember his own kids??? I wonder, will we ever get over it .... what shall we do????

Monday, September 7, 2009

LABORING LUCKY ....

There is Lucky outside through the glass ... laboring hard. The whiskey barrels were really good this summer ... especially this one.



Friday, September 4, 2009

THIS WILL SATISFY THEM ...

Just look at all these yummy apples and Asian pears in the back yard - almost ripe ... What about NOW RG? Come back when you have a symphony.



Thursday, September 3, 2009

FORGOT ???

RG! - you FORGOT to bring in some fresh greens last night? FORGOT?
Unacceptable - TOTALLY unacceptable.
Help us here - what SHALL we do?

Tuesday, September 1, 2009
