Babies & Bunnies

So we didn't end up bringing home the new bunny.  The day care decided to keep him there for a while longer.  We told them to let us know if they ever change their minds!  He is a really sweet rabbit.

But we did find a great way to help Pumpkin get some exercise!  Check it out:



Being chased by a baby seems to keep her on the move!  (notice Guinevere just lays there watching until Penny tries to touch her!)

Monday Bunday

Baby, meet bunny. Bunny, meet baby!

The Zoo is expanding and so am I

So I have a good reason for being so MIA lately...



We're having a baby! And it's a girl! She is due January 6th and we can't wait to meet her! I was really sick the first couple months, but now I'm feeling better and getting big. Baby is kicking a lot and very healthy. We have started to put the nursery together and I can't wait to show it to you, but I'm going to keep the theme a secret for now, but I have a feeling you'll like it... :)

Monday Bunday

Pumpkin has been having a good time hanging out with Arthur & Guinevere. They mostly just sit around together. I think she likes being upstairs with us. She often flops down for a nap after running around for a while!

Pumpkin update

It's gotten dusty around here! Well, school is finally out for the summer and our lives have slowed way down. Thank goodness. This year has been crazy busy and I'm so looking forward to time off during the summer. I'll actually have time to blog again!

After Patch passed, I was really worried about Pumpkin. I had no idea how she would react. I was worried she would get depressed and stop eating, but I'm happy to report she is doing really well. She has taken the whole thing in stride and is back to bossing the cats around already! Since her house is in our finished basement and I was afraid she might get lonely, we have been making a real effort to bring her upstairs to hang out with us in the evenings. She loves to run around, chase the cats and nudge the dog to make him move out of her way. She jumps up on the furniture and even tries to run upstairs when we aren't looking. It's nice to see her having so much fun.

I guess she must have understood better than we did what Patch was going through and that it was his time. I'm glad that my precious Pumpkin is still her silly, bossy self.

Monday Bunday

Me: "Hello Miss Pumpkin. We're going to have some visitors this week. Are you going to be friendly to them?"
Pumpkin: "I disapprove of visitors."
Me: "I know my dear, but they are coming so we should make them feel welcome. It is Thanksgiving after all."
Pumpkin: "No. Now go get me some Craisins. And some banana."
Me: "Ok sweetie. I can't argue with that face."

Monday Bunday

Nom, nom nom. Yummy romaine.

Pumpkin disapproves of me being home on Monday Bunday. I should be out earning money so I can buy more Craisins... and banana chips.

I wasn't digging in my litter box.... I swear.

The buns are hot! But yet they still like to cuddle. So cute.

A Monday Bunday so late it's a Tuesday Bunday!

Me: Somebunny needs her nails clipped!!
Pumpkin: Umm... I think not.

Monday Bunday

The disapproval is overwhelming.

Silly bun...

Nothing comes between me and a meal!

Monday Bunday

Pumpkin: "If you put my picture on the internet one more time..."

Monday Bunday

I'm hiding. You can't see me.

Monday Bunday

We have a Craisin addict.



Patch, admitting you have a problem is the first step.



Oh no, we might have another one!

Weekend update

You're never going to believe this! A got me to do YARD WORK today! Can you believe it? I know, me neither.

You've seen the front yard but I won't even show you the backyard. Between the dog and a really long winter, it's not pretty. But we cleaned up a lot of the leaves that got covered in snow last fall before we had a chance to pick them up and I collected Henry's very large collection of sticks and threw them out. He wasn't pleased with me and couldn't understand WHY ON EARTH I would throw out sticks! He'll get over it. A let me use his leaf sucker/blower thing (properly supervised of course cause we all know me+power tools=imminent disaster). I kept sucking up all these poor little earth worms that were happily snoozing under the wet leaves. Made me feel bad. I saved a couple and put them in one part of the garden Henry hasn't dug up yet. But I definitely didn't feel bad about the 15 spiders I sucked up. Yuck.

We also got some culture in too of course. We went to see the ballet Cinderella today. It was a matinée so there were tons of kids there. Actually not so much kids as little girls. And they were all dressed up in princess dresses and they were wearing tiaras and had fairy godmother wands. I was totally jealous. I really wanted a fairy godmother wand but A wouldn't buy me one. Jerk.

On the bun front... check this picture out. Cuteness!

Patch is all flopped over and Pumpkin is snuggled up next to him. These two are just so cute!

Tomorrow night we're having dinner with the music director of the orchestra A works for. He's coming to pick us up just so he can see Henry and play with him. How funny is that!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Monday Bunday

The best thing happened over the weekend. I can't believe I'm saying this! It's just SO AMAZING!!! Pumpkin and Patch have decided that they like each other!!! They are BEST FRIENDS now! Can you believe it? I've moved them into the same cage and they have shared it for 2 days now. Check this out...



Pumpkin is grooming Patch!!



I was beginning to think they would never get along, but I really didn't want to give up on Patch. He's just the sweetest little bunny. I don't know what happened that they all of a sudden decided to accept each other, but they did and I couldn't be more happy!

I sent Patch's adoption contract back to the NY House Rabbit Society today. Welcome to your forever home, Patch!

Fun with Photoshop

Monday Bunday
