Holiday Wishes

Behold!  It's the Family Christmas Card!  Yup, Mom has worked her Photoshop magic and created another dandy of a greeting that is being sent in all of our Christmas cards.  That's the beautiful Miss Binks on the left and that handsome bunn snorgling next to her is me ;)  Then we have wee Louise right in the middle, followed by Ana Banana and Scooter MaGoo on the right.

Mom is one of those people who loves Christmas so much, she put the tree up in November.  Like, the second weekend of November.  And she was late this year.  She had gone out to the garage to pull out the Christmas tree and discovered that some mice had been living in it.  All of the pine cones were chewed down to nubs and there were peanut skins, seeds and tiny poops all through the branches.  She shook her fist, "You darned mice!  You have ruined my beautiful tree!"  So that postponed the putting up of the tree until she got a new one.


Christmas lights in the window, festive garland on the fireplace mantle, boughs and bows outside with more lights - it's all done. And there is the festive addition of a leg lamp in our living room window.  One of Mom's favourite movies is "A Christmas Story" and she has always dreamed of having her very own leg lamp to display in the window every Christmas.  This year, her dream came true, thanks to kijiji.  If you have never seen "A Christmas Story" then this leg lamp will just confuse you.  Go watch the movie and get back to me....

I hope Santa Paws remembers what a good little bunny I have been this year.  Apart from a few poo-flinging incidents, none of which I was ever convicted of, I've been an angel of a rabbit.  And it's not like I want a lot of things for Christmas.  Us bunnies, we have it pretty good and there is not much that we don't already have, but there is always room in my belly for more treats.  Oh yeah, more treats!

I don't care what kind they are.  Carrot Slims, Veggie Puffs, raisins, hay cupcakes, I'll take it!  Miss Binks' favourite treat is dried persimmon.  Hopefully Mom remembered to order those from the Bunspace Store.  And oat groats.  I hope there are oat groats in my stocking!

Other that dreaming of what I want Santa Paws to bring me, I wanted to extend the best of Christmas and Holiday wishes to all of my peeps out there.  Recent tragic events in Connecticut have made even the most cheerful of bunnies very sad, and it is a reminder that life is precious.  Love everyone around you, spread cheer and give hope, and live every day to it's fullest.  You only get to live your life once, so make sure to pack it full of love, happiness and optimism.  I will share with you Mom's favourite quote, one that she tries to live by every single day....

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. ~ Stephen Grellet

Smooches and snorgles to you all, and to all, a good night.

First Place Winner!

Here she is, the First Place Winner in Bunspace's "Giving you the Eye" photo contest!  Miss Binky Binkowsky!

That's right, my beautiful Miss Binks entered this picture and it won her top spot.  Isn't she pretty?

"Thank you Fluffy....:)  I figured I would enter because I only have one eye I can give."

"Were you excited when you found out you had won?"

"Oh, absolutely!  There were many great pictures of bunnies giving the eye.  I think perhaps the Tiffany scarf I'm wearing is what gave me the advantage.  That, and the fact that I am actually smiling in this picture, tee hee!"

"Is there anything you would like to say to your Bunspace Peeps?"

"Why yes!  I would like to thank everyone for voting for me!  Everyone pretty much knows how much of a Diva I am, but it's always nice to get reassurance once in a while ;)  I feel very special to have won first place."

"Awwww, Binks my girl, you are always first place with me!"

"Fluffy!  Don't make me blush!"

And we would also like to thank my peep Babette the Rabette and her mom Tamara for sponsoring the contest and donating bunny t-shirts for first, second and third place!  Check out Babbette's blog here and if you have a bunny who has special needs, check out Tamara's website www.specialbunny.org!

The Kissing Bandit

I've been called worse.  But every once in a while I like to remind Mom of how soft and warm my kisses are :)

She smelled really good that day.  A mixture of hay, banana and raisins.  And perhaps I was feeling kinda smoochy myself, having just filled my belly with choice selections from the Evening Salad.  I had assumed the "loaf position" when Mom decided to lay on the floor with me for some one-on-bun time.

"Who's my Little Man?  Oh, I'm sorry, I mean my Big Tough Lop?  It's Fluffy!  Yes it is, Mr. McFluffersons..........*gasp*.....kisses!  Mama LOVES kisses!  Thank you my Little Man!  Mama wuv you sooooooo much!"

I love when she pets me, but only when I get to keep all four paws on the floor.  Then she can rub my head all she wants.  I especially like it when she comes really close and nuzzles my neck.  She makes these "nom nom nom" sounds and it gets all warm with her breath.  Then she will sniff me and snorgle my ears - I REALLY like that!  And then if she stops too soon, I might give her a little nip to remind her she is not done - hee hee!

So Peeps, it's always a good idea to remind your 2-foot how adorable and loving you really are.  Have you snorgled your human today?

Say Cheese

We're a pretty photogenic bunch, us bunnies, especially me.  Now I don't mean to toot my own horn, but seriously, I'm a pretty good lookin' Big Tough Lop wouldn't you say?

Mom and Dad recently went away and we all stayed at our friend Jessica's house.  Jessica loves us bunnies as if we were her own - and she has 5 of her own :).  Jessica is also a great photographer and while we were there, Mom arranged for us to have our pictures taken.  Again.

We all know Binky is beautiful, and the funny thing is is that she knows it.  She will wear just about anything and hold her head up high because she knows she's pretty.  She has even been known to sit completely still until she hears the click of a camera, and then she will move.  Here she is wearing one of her Coach scarves as well as her Tiffany scarf (her Dada loves to spoil her!).  Mom and Dad swears she is actually smiling in the last picture!

Here are Scooter MaGoo and Ana Banana.  Scooter is always weary of the camera, as his eyesight is fading with his old age and it makes him nervous, but he takes such great pictures!  He's a nervous guy in general but he can also be really sucky when he wants to.  And he is also impossible to turn away for treats.  Ana is wearing a Coach scarf in her picture, but unlike Binky, there is no hint of a smile here!  Perhaps it's the Rex face that always looks so disapproving, but she is definitely not impressed with her own adorableness.

And even Louise Hamster go in on the photoshoot!  I know, how many of you have ever seen a hamster glamour shot?  Well, here you go!  Louise is so full of personality and humour.  She is a very friendly girl and has no problem with being handled, carried around and having raspberries blown onto her belly.  Yes, Mom and dad do that.....

And of course, this post would not be complete without a completely self-indulgent inclusion of myself.  After all, I am the most handsome Big Tough Lop of them all.  So to all my peeps out there.....
