Dr. Deb!

It's a new year and that means it's time for our yearly check ups.  We were very excited to see our favourite vet again, Dr. Deb!  We love Dr. Deb but she was MIA for a while after leaving the Acton Clinic but the good news is, she has opened her own clinic, Black Creek Animal Hospital in Acton, ON.  YAY for Dr. Deb!

It's not too far from us so that's good and it's big and new and super-cool.  Us bunnies don't like vets poking and prodding and stuff but at least we are used to Dr. Deb and her soft hands and gentle handling.

Everything was good for me!  I am still the nice lean bunny I have always been.  Dr. Deb did prescribe panacur for me though - I take a 30-day regime once a year to keep my EC at bay.  I had head tilt four years ago and panacur helps to keep everything in check.  It doesn't taste that bad and I am a good boy at taking my meds.

Here is Miss Binks getting her check up.  She has always been very healthy.  She eats well, loves her hay and poops like a machine.  Although she has been known as "Stinky Binky" from time to time when her anal glands get a bit out of control but she gets those cleaned.  Don't tell her I posted this because she would be mad at me - she thinks her bum smells like roses......

Scooter also go the all-clear which is really good.  Scooter goes to the vet twice a year because sometimes he needs to get his teeth filed, but Dr. Deb said they looked great so no filing was needed - YAY!  Scooter really hates being put under and it often takes him a week to get back on track after he gets his teeth done. 
Dr. Deb was very sad to hear that we lost little Ella in June.  Dr. Deb really loved Ella and Ella was very kind to her - except once when she showed Dr. Deb how good she could growl and box!  But other than that one time, feisty Ella was always sweet with Dr. Deb.

So we all got treats when we got home which we gladly accepted, and then gave Mom and Dad the customary thumps and foot flicks of disapproval despite our rewards.  We followed that with some ignoring and Stink Eyes.  After all, we have to keep things dramatic so that Mom and Dad are constantly asking for forgiveness and offering treats as peace offerings....

Happy and healthy bunns - that's just the way we like it around here!

Post Christmas Report


A willow flower I got in my stocking.  And an edible hand-made Christmas card - the green tree is made of parsley!
 Well I hope everybun had a very Merry Christmas and Hoppy New Year!  I guess I can't complain about the holidays much.  I did get some awesome stuff, but let's look back at my list to Santa Paws and what he actually delivered....

1) A nanner. One whole nanner, perfectly ripe and peeled, all for myself!


Well, technically I got a nanner, but mom said I wasn't allowed to eat it all at once - instead I would get a pinch of it a day.  Well that's exactly what I get every day anyhow so I don't see the difference.  For this reason, I give this gift one THUMP.


My 2 new Stupid Blankets
2) A new Stupid Blanket.
Not only did I get a new Stupid Blanket, I got TWO of them!  How awesome is that?!  I was sooooo ready to sink my chompers into them but Mom says I have to wait until I completely ruin the two that are currently on the couch.  This gift gets two BINKIES, but I am taking half a binky away because I have to wait to use them.....humph!
3) A seagrass mat.
I got one!  And I love it!  I am going to make this one last so I am just gingerly chewing the perimeter first, then I will get down to business!  A big BINKY for this gift!
4) A flap for the door to the storage area.
Well, as you can guess, no door flap for me.  Two THUMPS!

5) Treats. Any kind, any flavour, any brand. Treats. And more treats.

Major score in this department!  We got all kinds of new yummy treats to try!  They came from the Bunspace store and they are sooooooooo yummy!  We got cranberry and timothy cupcakes, banana bites, persimmon slices and dried pineapple - the pineapple is my favourite!  So yummy!  And they are all-natural with no chemicals or preservatives, yay!  Thank you Bunspace for making such healthy treats for us bunnies!  5 BINKIES!

Binky in her new Coach Scarf
And of course, Daddy had to spoil Binky again this year - she got Coach scarf #2.  I mean seriously, another Coach scarf?  We really need to go to more fancy shindigs so that Binky can wear her wardrobe.  "Isn't it be-yoo-ti-ful Fluffy?  Look how nice it goes with my white Dolce & Gabunny tracksuit!"

"Yes, Binks, it looks very pretty on you.  But then again, anything would look pretty on you because you are so pretty to begin with..."

"Awww, Fluffy!  I love you!"

Like Dad always says, "Happy wife, happy life...."

What I Want For Christmas


Yup, it's that time of year.  That time of year where you think back and hope that Santa Paws wasn't watching you as closely as he may have been.  Not that I'm a bad bunny or anything....but I have had some Bunny Misadventures that could be categorized as being on the naughty side.  I simply chalk that up to suppressed wild rabbit instinct and a strong and brave sense of adventure.

So without further ado, my letter to Santa Paws.....

Dear Santa Paws,

I have been a very good bunny this year despite what Mommy may say or any incriminating evidence she may have captured on that stupid phone of hers.  I eat all my salad and lots of hay and (most of the time) always poop in the litterbin.  Except for that one time Mom found a poop 5 feet up on the wall.  But I digress...

I always give Binky ear licks and loving snorgles and I never get mad when she steals my carrot from me - that is because I love her and there is nothing she can do to upset me.  So considering all of my Good Bunny Deeds, here is my list of what I would like for Christmas:

1) A nanner.  One whole nanner, perfectly ripe and peeled, all for myself!  Mom keeps saying that's too much sugar for one bunny to eat but I promise I will eat it slowly and even share some with Miss Binks. If I have to.

2) A new Stupid Blanket.  My current ones are getting pretty chewed up and I am always in need of having one on back-up, ready to go at a moments notice should any of the present blankets be deemed too holey for me to play with.....I mean, savagely dig, chew and shred.

3) A seagrass mat - I love chewing on those!  They are so crunchy and tasty!  Plus they are easy to toss around and fling into the air....

4) A flap for the door to the storage area, so I can still sneak inside even when the door is closed and rummage through those boxes, suitcases and Rubbermaid containers!

5) Treats.  Any kind, any flavour, any brand.  Treats.  And more treats.

So Santa Paws, as you can see, I am not asking for a whole lot.  Hopefully this list will be a good starting point - feel free to expand on my ideas.

In return, I will continue to be a good bunny and love Miss Binks with all my heart.  In fact, she is calling me over for ear licks right now so I had better get busy.  Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and I promise to remember to leave out some carrots and water for you on Christmas Eve.

Thank you!

Fluffy

So that's my letter - what do you think?  Too much?  Not enough?  Well, I guess we will have to wait and see...

Until then, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of my Peeps a very Merry Christmas, Hoppy Holiday, Festive Season and a wonderful and prosperous new year!  Thanks for reading my blog - see you in 2011!

Lots of Bunny Love,

Fluffy and Binky

P.S. Here's our Christmas Card - I'm the handsome dude in the middle.....

Dear iPhone People.....


Dear iPhone People,

It is with dire need that I request that you STOP making products that are so easy to use that even my technically inept Mom can figure them out.  Thanks to the iPhone 4, she has turned into a Paparazzi-wannabe, following me all over the place and recording my every move.

Due to my utter and complete adorableness, I am now the subject of constant documentation.  I have been photographed or filmed doing just about everything a bunny does:  sleeping, eating, pooping (yes, pooping!  Who the heck wants to watch that? "I do!" Be quiet Mom!), running, hiding, exploring and most of all, chewing my Stupid Blankets.

I have been followed into the depths of the storage area, been spotlighted in the darkest of areas, had close up after close up of everything from my nose to my bald ears to my bum! "But it's so cute Fluffy!  Your bum is my favourite part!"

*sigh*  Please.  Isn't there a switch somewhere you can flip that will make my Mom's iPhone not work anymore?  Certainly you have the power to perform such a task.  I remember a day when phones were just phones, used for the sole purpose of talking to one another.  Not filming, editing and posting on to youtube in one easy step.....

Why must I be so adorable?
