"MY PIECE ...

... is smaller than your piece! Neener, Neener, Neener!" - Zoey Zoey is like that sometimes. :<)

"YOU THINK WE ARE "GREEN" WINSTON?"

"Well Lucky, maybe so, but whoever has "repurposed" this piece of crap carpet must have done Benji's litterbox too - awful." "Yeah Winnie - at least beige would have been better than this."
"Hopeless - I'm hopeless" - RG

"WHAAAA .................

... this smacks of favoritism." - Racer (the BELOVED Racer)

"Yup - some kid somewhere is going to get a present."

Monday, October 18, 2010

"WHEN YA GOTTA GO -

- ya gotta go. But what a horrid excuse for a potty. I mean just the color alone .. what will the Raspberry Rabbits think?" - Benji

"NOW LOOK HERE RG .....

... I have just thoroughly examined and audited your books, bank statement, papers, travel dreams, odd scraps, and notes. It is clear you DO NOT SPEND ENOUGH ON TREATS!" - Racer
"But, but, but, ... Racer, THAT is BL's stuff. Tell her, not me"

FLUFF AND STUFF ...

Yep, good names for these two - tucked in and snuggled up behind the box is a favorite place on a nice day outside.

I have a gig this fall and winter - weekly wading (bushwhacking really!) a mile or so in two different streams counting spawning salmon. First trip was Wednesday, for the boss to give us an orientation and show us our creeks - no fish expected. But this IS a surprise - a female Coho already way up the creek and pretty well the worse for wear. (We saw a second too.) This fish has gone about 10 miles up a river, 10 miles up a big creek, over a small water fall and then 10 miles up a lake to find this dab of a creek with about 10" of water in it. She is about 2 1/2 feet long! Saw no males - hope some get there soon! (We'll be counting until all fish gone - well into January.)

"FAR ENOUGH, KITTY BOY" - CHICO

KB is really pushing it here. He does not much care for the bunnies and they are not afraid to march right up to him! Tough guys, they are.

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

"JAILER ....

... I want my dinner." - The Princess Damned actress - looking like she's been in the lock-up for about 7 months or more.

(Re: Winston's manners in the bag ... I think he was a fine little citizen in there. Winston is quite fastidious.)

WINSTON FINDS THE HAY BAG!

I'm looking outside on the deck and can't see Winston - but the hay bag is wiggling. He hopped up onto the tub it is on and crept right in ... private stash! Sorry to bother you Winnie.

SUMMER ALMOST OVER ....

Savannah sleeps through the passing of the shadow! We are pretty far north. We get a lot of dark from about Nov. 1 to Feb. 14! And damp. And a bit of snow now and then. So Savannah is stocking up on her Vitamin D!!

"QUIT SQUISHING ME GOLDIE" - BENJI

"Well I was here first Benji." - Goldie
(The really big storm we expected went elsewhere - we just had some typical rain and some breeze.)

Friday, October 8, 2010

"SHE KNOWS YOU ARE THERE KB, ...

... she just no longer cares. Your reputation continues to slide!" - RGLooks like we're in for stormy weather! Columbus Day marks the "official" start of the stormy season here - we are going to get a windy soaker Sat and Sun. The "official" "All Clear" does not happen until Mother's Day. Here in the Pacific NW we have all misplaced our umbrellas since then, and are about to become the world's best place to sell sun glasses because we will be misplacing those about every other day now too, for the next 6 months!
(* BL's latest newspaper article is about Kitty Boy - he is delighted. See "Bunny Lady's Columns" in Websites to the right.)

"I'M READY FOR LOTS OF RAIN - I HAVE A HOUSEBOAT!"

- Racer -"Look Racer - that is very clever - but - none of you can play out in the rain. Everybunn has a cozy condo or pen in the house and that is where you stay when the deck is wet. We'll make it worth your while!" - RG

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

"IT'S GOING TO RAIN ....

... a lot! I'm good." - The Princess Just the same Princess, I think we'll be staying in if it rains like they forecast!

"I THINK I NEED ...

... some treats down there." - Zoey
(Zoey gets adequate treats and is doing quite fine now on here own.)

"WE MAKE A GREAT SET ...

... of book-ends Lucky!" - Winston "We do indeed, Winnie - but I guess they do not trust us with books!" - Lucky

SAVANNAH'S PRIDE!

Can she grow them or what???

Friday, October 1, 2010

"PSSSST, SAVANNAH ...

... you fertilize and water that pot back
there lately???" - Chico "No, I like to keep it nice and dry and clean
for my afternoon rest, Chico. Why do you ask? " - Savannah

(KittyBoy is a bit skittish of the bunns - they are not much concerned!)

"CAT? WHAT CAT? ...


... you see a cat Benji?" - Chico
Kitty Boy's reputation is sliding fast!

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

"SHALL WE REFINANCE ...

... or buy new homes Winston?" Well Lucky, I kind of think new would be the way to go here - these don't have a lot of value left." "OK, OK Boyz - I think we get the message!"

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

"WELL, WELL; LOOK WHO'S HERE -

... our "people" - as if we missed them?" - Benji
"Oh Benji, you softy! Of course you missed us and we missed you all too! But, BL had a good time being motherly in Wenatchee and I had a good time being Grandfatherly and Fatherly in the Seattle area. (Watched some 10th grade boys play recreational soccer - those boys don't take prisoners!)"

As for this pea-brain - he goes in and out that little door The Princess has for deck access during the day. That one day I came in the house around noon and saw feathers all over the floor and a few small bird remnants. I think one hit our big front windows and died on the deck and he brought it in. EEeeeewwww.... (Shop Vacs work well here.)"What? Cute me cause trouble??? Come ON!"

BODY LANGUAGE ....

Yes, KB and I are pretty good friends. But KB goes into The Princess's area to sneak out the little door onto the deck, usually when she is already out there. So far he can't get off the deck and he does not bother the bunns, but what a pain in the patoot. This evening after all bunns in and the little door latched shut, he hopped down in to see if he could open it. The picture tells the tale!!! No one got hurt.

To top it off, the next pictures were taken just 2 minutes after the shoo-out. (Savannah is in her area which is right next to The Princess.) I don't think KB is viewed as much of a tough guy!!! Probably more as a pestering little brother!


We can discuss the bird feathers all over the dining room floor this morning some other time.
Laura and Hubby - Friend of the Animals - from Reno Rabbits are coming to tend to the needs of the group Sunday and some of Monday. BL and RG will be back by Monday evening!

DESIGNS ....

"Aren't I a fine piece of art though???" - Chico
While BL is away it is just me, 9 bunnies and the cat. Don't ask ... not telling.

LET'S BLOW THIS POP-STAND!

Winston, temporarily caged for condo-cleaning, has managed to open the top and is about to scoot! GO WINNIE GO!"BL is "Flying the Coop" too - off for a few days to help with a family move. I have some more "Down the Road" obligations this weekend and so faithful Friend Of The Animals and hubby will be bailing us out again! Yea for good help!" - RG
"You better tell them where the treats are..." - The Bunns

BL!!!!!

"Get your damned cat out of there!" - RG
Actually The Princess took care of it herself. You can see her sitting just outside the little "bunny door". She first poked her nose in, and then came in, nipped Kitty Boy on the butt and he elevated quickly and completely over and out of her pen!!!

Here is a summary of our reported Personality Types! (I used personalitypage.com for reference, but there are others)

INTJ Scientist 2 reports
INTX Scientist/Thinker 1 report
XNFP Inspirer/Idealist 1 report
INFP Idealist 1 report
INFX Idealist/Protector 1 report
ISFP Artist 1 report
ESFJ Caregiver 1 report
INFJ Protector 3 reports (!)
ENFJ Giver 1 report

There are a lot of Is and Ns and Fs in there. ("I" is Think then act, "N" is future over now, "F" is feelings over facts) I think that bodes well for the fuzzy ones!
Thanks for participating.

"INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW ....

... what is your Meyers-Briggs personality type and what does it mean?

"I HAVE NEWS ... BUT FIRST ...

... is this my good side, or what???!!!" - Chico
This person is RG's eldest Grandchild and she is a sophomore in college this year - a total delight - and she visited this weekend.

This person is her brother who is a sophomore in High School, and he visited too. As you may have heard on BL's other I-net venues, this kid described the characters of CLUE as they relate to Dante's Divine Comedy. She was - ah - impressed and has a new opinion of teenagers and grandchildren, particularly those other than her own!
In CLUE I was Mr. Green and did not fare well - no - not at all - not in any way.

AN ANGLE OF REPOSE ...

... of GOLD(IE)!
(Everything has it's own unique "angle of repose". This was Goldie's on this particular day!)
I have returned from my "mission of mercy" and will commence to attempt to extract myself from my domestic faux pauxs. A nice dinner at the local Steak House will be my center-piece action.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

"OH LOOK! ....

... it's RG living in a bunny box - outside!" - Benji"That's it, enough of this disdain, - I'm leaving for the Seattle area for a couple of days. But I'll be back - and then .... the REST of the story!" - RG

WHAT MEANINGS HAVE A PRINCESS'S EARS?

That ear arrangement meant something but I missed it. I think I'm in trouble - again.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

"ZOEY HERE .....

... I'm doing well. For Bunnies there is mostly just this moment, and that is where I am - although a bit confused by my missing Baxter. Thank you all for the kind thoughts, words, and feelings - many I am aware of that were never even spoken by you humans." Actually I have wasted no time redecorating - I AM a classy one. I've got a nice new box and blankie, and a LOT more room. I fixed everything this way - much different than the way BL had it at first =:<)

BAXTER AND LOVEY ...

Friends visiting in August, 2004 when we had first gotten Baxter and Lovey. (Our deck still allowed for people chairs!)
Thank you everyone - so many of you! - for the kind words and thoughts. I know many of you have had a similar experience - it never gets easier. But we'll get on and along, as will Zoey. We'll be feeling better shortly.

On a lighter note, BL has had another column printed and you can look at it via the "Bunny Lady's Columns" link to the right under "Websites".

BAXTER BUNNY - 9 YEARS OLD - REST IN PEACE

Today Baxter had to be put to rest.
He has had rear leg problems and surgeries and was beginning to totally be unable to care for himself or get around much. We tried and tried, but he got worse and worse. He still was happy, fairly pain-free, and had a great appetite! So off he has gone to a happier place before he had to suffer much, and we are left to deal with our huge loss.

Zoey will also have a big adjustment to make and we will give her extra cuddles and care.

Baxter just being Baxter!!!
You can read Baxter's story here

"GO AWAY ...

... I'm hiding here." - LuckyWhen it is time to come in from outside, the Boyz often jump in this little place behind a big blue tub to hide. Don't any of you clue them in ...

BAXTER HELPS OUT ...

Labor Day was wet and dribbly and very Rabbit-Centered here. First this young girl and her aunt came over to have some bunny time. Baxter is a great lap-bunny and BL gave the kid the entire story of rabbits and all about ours. The grand tour. An hour and a half!

Just about the time they are set to leave, another friend and her grand daughter came to see what having a bunny is like. This kid was serious about getting a rabbit and so she too got the whole kit and kaboddle of education. To top it off, Laura from RenoRabbits came over to share her experiences and advice too and boy this kid is totally prepared! Plus she went away with both BL's and Laura's phone numbers and a couple of books!

I guess it worked because we heard the kid right now got herself a bunny - a lion-head? - and is yet another member of our local bunny-nut group!!!!

Quite a bit of time and work, but awful gratifying to see that people think we are pretty good experts and sources of advice! At least BL is! I just sort of did the lifting and standing around smiling and nodding my head in a positive movement!

"THERE'S A DAMN'D CAT IN THERE!"

"What is this place coming to?" - Chico
About liquor boxes. It is not what it seems. Each bunny has a particular box size and shape that they have finally taught to BL. In Washington State, all hard liquor is sold in State stores and people clamor for the empty boxes for storing things, moving, etc. We go through one or more a week! BL has done her trade-mark schmoozing with every worker in every nearby liquor store and so the right ones are kept in stock! No clerk in their right mind would want to perturb a bunny (or BL!)
