An Interview with the Rabbits about the Newcomer

October 7, 2015December 2, 2015 | Allison

My sister Megan got a new rabbit! (Because Mango died 😦 ) Her name is Clementine, and she is an adorable lop rabbit! Here’s her profile:
********************************************************************************

Breed: Holland Lop

Color: Light brown with darker brown on her ears and nose

Name: Clementine

Gender: Doe (female)

*******************************************************************************

First I’ll show you some pictures of Clementine, and then I’ll have the rabbits’ interviews.

Below is Clementine in the bunny-hat. So cute! (See my bunny fashion post.)

Ahem. Now for the interviews. First up, hmmm, let’s go oldest to youngest.

So Diamond, what do you think about this new rabbit?

Humph. She is invading my territory. I try to put her in back in her place by nipping her, but the humans just shut me up in this cage as a punishment – just for defending my territory! Humph.

Okaaayyy… let’s move on to Lily.

Well, to be quite honest with you, she seems a little strange to me. I mean, her ears can’t even stand up! And what’s good about a rabbit whose ears don’t stand up? But I suppose she’s alright. She is an awfully nice snuggler.

Great! Now for Olaf. “Olaf! OLAF! OOLLAAAFF!”

*Gasp,* *Heave,* *Grunt.* Yes? You called?

Umm, yes. I wanted to ask you your opinion of Clementine?

Well… she’s nice, I guess.. um… I haven’t really seen her much, but, uh, yeah she OK. So… can I go now?

Yep, sure, go ahead. *Plunk.*

“Willow!”

Yes! Here I am – with Clementine!

“Oh… nothing. I wondered what your thoughts were on Clementine, but I can see you’re in the middle of playing with her.”

Oh, yes. She’s my best friend. I’m glad I finally have a playmate! Come on Clementine….

So there you have the bunnies’ opinions on the subject. Clementine seems to be enjoying her stay here, as you can see from her diary post on my sister Megan’s blog.

Bye for now!

Bunny Fashion

September 29, 2015February 5, 2016 | Allison

I recently crocheted a few little accessories for the bunnies to wear, so here is a bunny fashion show!

First, we have Willow. (Of course!)

Willow with flower headband… uh, earband:

Willow the athlete!

And last but not least, a still (ish) life: “Willow with hat.”

Next is Lily, sporting the flower earband and an unimpressed look.

Diamond “wanted” to try on the hat. (As you may have noticed, my camera doesn’t like black bunnies too well. 😦 )

And we musn’t leave Olaf out! Isn’t he handsome in the hat? He looks like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. 🙂

And thus ends the fashion show. I wish my camera took better pictures of black (and gray) bunnies, but at least Olaf and Lily are pretty clear.

So which was your favorite entry – who’s the winner?

***Allison***

P.S. If you’re wondering why Mango wasn’t included in the show, it’s because she died a couple of days ago. *Sniff, sniff.* Yet another tragedy: Joy the kitten died too. We aren’t sure how she was killed, but she may have gotten hit by a car or something. Two tragedies in a row… *snnniifff!* But my sister Megan is probably going to get another bunny soon to replace Mango, and we still have Coffee Bean the kitten.

Willow: The Fuzzball Returns (Caption It)

September 19, 2015September 19, 2015 | Allison

Dun-duh-duh-dun! The return of the fuzz-ball! Her fuzz is looking particularly fluffy today, isn’t it? I have a few photos for you to caption today. If you want to play, just comment with what you think Willow could be saying or thinking in the photos below. You can caption one, two, or all three if you want!

Willow, My Willow

September 8, 2015December 2, 2015 | Allison

Here comes another photoshoot of the adorable flufferpuff! I absolutely love Willow, but I must say she is harder to photograph than Lily because she is so fluffy and dark. But oh well! I couldn’t just leave her un-photographed, now could I?

Willow is getting more gray instead of black, for some reason. She must be getting old! 😉

************************************************

Willow and I, swinging on the porch swing…

And now she is left all alone –

Hooray! Some playmates!

Isn’t she adorable with a bow in her hair – er, ears?!

Now we take her to the deck, where she is fondled by a small human,

And becomes a ball of fluff with ears.

Willow wishes to escape being a model. She looks longingly over the side of the deck rail, but decides it is too much of a risk to jump.

And for the final humiliation, she is wrapped in a damp cloth to “cool her down,” or so the humans say.

Good girl, Willow!

I hope you enjoyed Willow as much as I did!

Willow Eats Her Namesake (And Lily Is Jealous)

September 2, 2015December 2, 2015 | Allison

“One bunny salad coming up!”

Yumm. I, Lily, love a good bunny salad. Our mistresses always make them with the freshest and most delicious ingredients: crisp parsley, fresh dandelions, sunny marigold petals… As I joined Mango and Willow at the bowl, I sniffed in all the delicious smells.

Mango and Willow were already scarfing down the salad. Diamond joined us briefly, and then hopped off in search of… I don’t know. A piece of straw or something. She’s a strange bunny.

“Awww, look at Willow! She’s such a cute little flufferpuff!”

Grrr. They’re always talking about Willow. Ever since I got back from the fair it’s been the same story: Willow is the star of the show, the life of the party, and I’m always just in the background. I once had a good life – I was a model, a cherished pet… but now, that life is gone. I don’t even see what’s so cute about a rabbit so fluffy you can hardly see her face. And another thing: my mistress always goes on about how Willow is so easy to hold, where as I, on the other hand, always scratch when she picks me up. What’s wrong about a rabbit that has a little spirit? It disgusts me how Willow just lets herself be taken over by humans. Speaking of humans…

“Hey, let’s give Willow a willow branch!”

Look. Willow is eating her namesake. How cute… NOT! I couldn’t take this any more. I huffed over to a corner where I could think about the troubles in life in privacy. Joy the cat was snarling and growling over a piece of Willow fluff. Suddenly she turned and looked at me.

“What’s wrong with you, Lily? You seem to be in a foul mood lately.”

“Humph. I’m not in a foul mood.”

“Yes you are. Really, what’s eating you?”

“Uh… mosquitos? Nothing, Joy, it’s nothing.” I hesitated. “It’s just… it’s just that Willow gets so much attention and I don’t get any.”

“Ahhh,” purred Joy wisely. “Well, think ahead – someday you will be a mother of a fine litter of baby bunnies, and think how much attention you’ll get then.”

Hmmm, that was so. After all, I am a purebred New Zealand, and Willow is only a mixed breed. Someday I would be a proud mother rabbit, and she would still just be a pet.

I looked back at Willow. The humans had finally went away, leaving peaceful silence behind them. She looked, I don’t know, a little droopy. She hopped slowly over to me.

“Can I snuggle with you, Lily?” she asked wistfully. “I’m tired of being held.”

I didn’t answer. But Willow hopped over anyway, invading my space with her fluffiness.

She sighed, “I like snuggling with you. I love you, Lily.”

She looked up at me with her fluffy little face and my heart began to melt. She was awfully sweet. But how did I know she wasn’t just putting on a false front to get me under her paws? Finally, I sighed.

“You know Willow, I love you too. Even if you are cuter and cuddlier than me, and even though you do get more attention. I guess I don’t get much attention because I choose not to be cuddly. Maybe you could give me lessons sometime, how about it?” But Willow was already asleep, tired out from being cute and cuddly. “Sweet dreams, little flufferpuff,” I whispered, “sweet dreams.”

Cuteness Overload!

August 24, 2015December 2, 2015 | Allison

I finally got around to posting some very exciting (and cute!) news – I got ANOTHER BUNNY! Yes, I know I already have two bunnies, but I saw this little gal at the fair and I just couldn’t resist. How could you resist such sweet fluffiness? I named her Willow. And here is her profile:

Breed: Mixed Breed (3/4 Jersey Wooly, 1/4 Mini Lop)

Color: Charcoal

Name: Willow

Gender: Female

Age when bought: ???? Maybe about 2 months?

Unfortunately, Honeybunny despises Willow, and she kept nipping her, so I had to pen Honeybunny up in a cage all by herself. 😦 And now Honeybunny is really mean to all of the other bunnies, so I am going to sell her. She really isn’t that bad when you hold her, she just does not do well with other rabbits.

This must be the time to buy bunnies, because my friend and her mom each got a Holland Lop Rabbit. SO CUTE! Don’t worry, I took pictures of them too. ☺ Now enough of me talking, let’s get to the pictures!

*********************************************************************************************************************************

♥♥♥ Willow ♥♥♥

She is absolutely adorable, and easy to hold. Unfortunately my camera doesn’t take superb pictures of her, maybe because it has a hard time focusing on all the black fluffiness. At least you can enjoy what’s here, but trust me, she is better in real life!

And now for Snickers and Yoshi (they’re both boys by the way), my friends’ bunnies. I took these pictures with my dad’s phone which has a really good camera.
