Gettin' All Snuggy!

Hey Mom, look at the date of my last post.....

"Um, yeah....?"

And what's the date today?

"Okay, I know it's been a while, but I've been busy!"

Not good enough!

Well, clearly I have some catching up to do.  It's true, Mom has been busy with BunFest 2012 plans and other things in life and I've been busy too, napping, snorgling, eating and pooping :)

I don't know what kind of summer all of my peeps are having, but here where I am, it's been scorching hot!  Like a "no bunny outside!" hot!  This heat wave has shrivelled up many of the plants in the garden and turned the grass in the backyard a not-so-nice crunchy yellow.  Mom reminds us everyday of how lucky we are to have air conditioning and I have to agree. 

Our house has three floors and for the top floor - where Scooter and Ana live - to get comfortably cool, the air conditioner has to work extra hard.  What that means is, downstairs where we are, it's pretty freakin' cold!  Mom usually tapes up the vents down here otherwise the air conditioning fogs up the patio doors like an ice cream cooler in a grocery store, but even with that extreme taken, it's still very cool.  But it's totally okay for Miss Binks and I.  We are furry animals and we really prefer being cool to being even the slightest over-hot.  It's perfect napping weather and it also allows me to stretch out in a ray of sun and not overheat and have to get up and move.

But of course, this crazy heat also makes Mom do crazy things. 

The other day, Mom came home with a gift for Binky.  It was a Snuggy.  Yup, you heard me....a SNUGGY!   Seriously Mom?!  "But I thought she might be a little chilly, so I thought I'd get her something to warm her up just a bit....."  It's 37 degrees Celsius outside Mom!  Plus there's a humidex!  "I know, but it's very cool in here....but I don't want my Binks to catch a cold....." she said as she scooped up poor Miss Binks and started dressing her up in it.

I don't know what it is with Binky, but she has always kinda liked being dressed up.  From her sweaters and hats, to her scarves and her Halloween costumes, it's like she knows she's getting all prettied up.  She knows how to wear an outfit, and how to work a room.  "Look how pretty I am Fluffy!  Don't you wish you had a Snuggy?"  Uh, nope.  You can just have that one all to yourself......

Stay cool Peeps, but not so cool that your Mom thinks it's necessary to dress you up in velcroed fleece....

Poop - The Return

What is that?  That thing there, above the litterbox?  No, on the wall right there, see it?  Is it a scratch? Nope, it's not a scratch on the wall.  And it's not a crack either.  So what is it you ask?  It's a strand of hay.  It's a strand of hay stuck to the wall by........a poop!

Yup, there it is in all it's glory, just waiting for Mom to see it.  And here she comes to check on the laundry. She glances into the room. And locks her eyes right on it.

"What is THIS?!"  she screeched.  Binky ran under the coffee table.  "Is.....is this.......POO?!  On the wall...AGAIN?!"

Wasn't me Mom, honestly. 

"Didn't we go through this once before?  Didn't we already have a talk about flinging poops around the house?"

We did, however there was not enough substantial evidence to prove who the culprit was.  It's been a cold case for quite a while now.  Looks like they struck again.

She took the broom and swept it off the wall back into the litterbin, all the while talking through her teeth.  "All I want is to NOT have POOP on the walls!  Is that too much to ask?!"  she huffed as she lifted the clothes from the washer and put them into the dryer.  "You guys have a litterbin.  It's not like you don't have a litterbin, for crying out loud.  People come over..." In goes the last sock.  "...they look at my walls..."  In goes the dryer sheet.  "...and all they see is...."  Shut the dryer door.  "..................wha......WHAT?!!!!!!!!!  Another one?!!!!!  STUCK to the DOOR of the DRYER?!"

Oh boy.  I ran under the coffee table with Miss Binks.  I snuggled down right beside her as Mom continued on her tirade, now seemingly talking to no one in particular.  "Now I might as well be called the Bunny POOP Lady....." 

"What is all the ruckus about Fluffy?"  Binky asked.  "Oh, you know.  There's poop on the wall and for some reason Mom doesn't like it there." 

"But why?  We worked so hard on it.  You reached way up and stuck it there, then I added the pretty piece of hay......it was quite a lovely work of art." 

"I know.  I guess she just doesn't appreciate creativity and originality when she sees it.  Oh....and by the way, that project we started on the dryer?  I think we will have to abandon that one too..."

Me Vs. Banana

Check out what mom found (sorry it's off the page a bit) - it's an old video of me eating a banana (big surprise)!  Mom figures this video is at least 6 years old, perhaps even more.  This was back when we lived in the condo (location of the now infamous "Paint Tray Incident"). 

Every morning, Mom would have a bowl of cereal and a banana, and of course I would hop right up on the couch to help her eat it!  I must have been extra famished that morning because I sure do chow down on that thing like a little piggy, but what can I say?  I love nanners!

If you look closely, you can even see that my ears aren't bald yet.  Binky and I were no doubt already bonded but not enough time had passed for her to create the "bald look" that I now sport on the outside of my floppy ears.  *sigh*  I remember the days when my ears weren't cold....

And here is another one, probably taken about the same time as the one above.  It's a commercial for the Shopping Channel about their Easter Egg Hunt Contest.  Seeing as it's Mom's job to make the commercials, she very perfectly cast me in the role of "Handsome, Adorable Bunny"......enjoy!

Thumps for Mom

Hey Peeps, it's me! Good news, I'm feeling much better! Sorry this update hasn't happened sooner, Mom got sick with food poisoning and moved into the bathroom for a few days.....

Turns out that wee little spur in the back of my mouth was bugging me more than we thought. I'm eating like a little piggy and back on track. As proof, please see the video above of me reminding my Stupid Blankets of who is in charge around here. I'm back baby, I'M BACK!

Mom is still giving me Critical Care but I'm not that interested in it anymore - I'd much rather eat my hay and pellets again. She still wants me to have a wee little bit in the mornings and evenings and tonight, she got a little sloppy. "Whoops! Sorry Fluffs, I just dropped a glob on you. Where did it go.....?"

Hey, watch it, your hands are cold! Stop groping my nether regions!

*sigh* "There's a big blob of it somewhere. Where is it......oh, there it is! Come here, Mommy's gotta wipe you down."

Put me down! I'll groom it off myself. I. WILL. GROOM. IT.OFF. MYSELF!

"Okay, here's some toilet paper..........stay still...........Fluffy, stay still!"

Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh! I can do this Mom, really!

"Oh, almost gone.......couple of more wipes......and.......yes! Got it! Well, most of it. You can groom the rest off, right?"

What have I been saying?

"Okay, I'll put you down. Oooooooo, I feel a big thump brewing in those back legs of yours!"

Oh, you got that right.........

"I'm gonna film it! Yeah! Want to show all your peeps how you thump at Mama? Yes you do! Yes you do! Let me get my phone, hang on!"

And thus we have this little video at the bottom......

Thanks to all of my friends who sent me good wishes. They mean a lot and really helped Mom to not worry so much. I've got great bunny buddies <3
