Snow + Bunny = This week

Ok, that title doesn't make all that much sense. But, we have snow and a bunny. They are not mixed, for which the bunny is glad. The snow is indifferent.

The bunny is now living in my office for over a week. It went from scaredy bunny to sweet love bunny in record time. Now it would like it if I spent all day every day patting it on the head. Just don't pick it up. It doesn't like to be picked up. Its new name may be Snufflufugus, because I think that's a funny name. The bunny doesn't care. The bunny does care about raisins and ESPECIALLY cookies. Snuffy Cow Print is a poop machine. Hop...doodle...hop...doodle...hop...doodle. If she went into the woods, she'd be able to find her way back for sure. Also, the bunny, who is as brilliant as Taylor predicted, is now using a litter box (for peeing at least). I wouldn't say it is exactly "box trained". It found two places to pee, so I put a box in one place and its food in the other (theory..it won't pee near the food). It worked. Well, initially the box failed. The bunny did fine, but the box failed. It went into its little box and peed...right over the edge onto the floor. This it did twice. But I braved record snow to get a bigger box, and we're now 100%. Today Snuffy Cow Print is excited because I gave her an early Xmas gift, a cardboard BOX. She loves the box. The box is DA BOMB! She wouldn't go to bed tonight because she wanted to PLAY IN THE BOX, and nibble it some.

Right after we "got" the bunny, I read a website about "Rabbit Speak". My conclusion from applying the lessons in the website with my observations of the rabbit...this rabbit HATES ME. This was cause for some concern. But after a week, Snuffy doesn't do those hateful rabbit speak things like ears back, running away, stomping hissing spitting biting screaming and breathing fire. It just does sweet happy bunny things now like ears up, using the litter box, and acting happy when I give her a box.

Ok, enough about the bunny. Some pictures from this week.


Me and my new bunny, at the beginning when the bunny was too scared to jump off my lap. Notice the ears are back, bunny speak for....I am NOT enjoying this but I'm too afraid to bite your finger off.

Scruffy, not at ALL pleased. Bunny is in HER territory.

Taylor and Pixel watch the snow.

More snow.
