VITAL STATS --I finally tracked down Bunbert's original person, one Clint, and he told me the following: She's approximately five years old, no exactly five years old, within 6 months or so, or maybe 4. He found her among 9 baby bunnies exactly, no approximately, 5 years ago in a tire behind a tire shop. He brought them home, fed them with a dropper, three survived. Long story short, after approximately exactly 5 years, Bunbert is the only one left. Her "maiden" name is Sabrina, and her maintenance level is v1.0, unfixed.
BUNNY SPEED DATING -- Bunbert (nee Sabrina) needs a mate, according to the veterinary assistant who thinks bunnies need mates (obviously). Lucky for Bunbert, the local chapter, the ONLY chapter, of the Rabbit Advocates hosted "Bunny Speed Dating" on Sunday, Feb 15th. This speed dating turned out like looking for a new husband at a nursing home. There must have been ten girls to every available (and nervous) boy. The consensus appears to be that most bunnies are straight, which we won't hold against them because it's not a choice. We set up Bunbert with one Harold, a super sweet cow print boy who would match her so nicely. Sadly, the date concluded, as so many first dates, with biting. Harold will have to go on more dates, but we got to keep a souvenir clump of Harold Hair. Very sad, but I didn't get any pictures. We were pretty busy. Bunnies on dates need serious chaperoning. There was one hermaphrodite rabbit that I would just LOVE to adopt, merely so I could name it Pat. But Pat was way too popular for Bunbert to get a date.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE -- Bunbert will go under the knife next Thursday to get fixed. By Friday, we hope to have a new, updated Bunbert 2.0 in production.
DIFFICULT CONCEPT -- Taylor keeps talking about buying a nice chicken complex for Bunbert and then getting chickens when Bunbert is "done" with it. I have to remind Taylor every time: We are going to have chickens and rabbits at the SAME TIME. She isn't getting it, but she will. Give it time.
THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO -- I just ordered a bunny harness and leash for walking your bunny in the neighborhood. Bunbert can visit all her old haunts, but with the added pleasure of being completely under somebody else's control. Who wouldn't LOVE that?
PICTURES -- Finally, the fun stuff.
I see you with that camera. Are there any raisins in that thing?
If you want to have a picture where the bunny looks like she's giving you a kiss, you COULD try putting a raisin in your ear. You run the real risk of the bunny biting your ear. But, it's totally worth it.
a-tennnnn---SHON!
At ease...
