NEWS FLASH

2009-03-01T10:47:00.006-06:00

***Lady Mama Snaps!***

We interrupt your lazy Sunday with dis special bulletin! Lady Mama haz officially lost her mind! Apparently da winter has gotten da best of her. She's obsessed with her garden even though it'z -20 C, dere'z tonz of snow and da wind iz howling! She'z been lookin at garden flowers non-stop for a week. We think da dreaded "cabin fever" haz finally set in!

She'z ordering lilies an other purdy flowers...

Sure, der pretty, but it'z many months before she can see da dirt in da garden cuz da snow is very deep! Mr. Man is even feedin' da indigent jack rabbit bunnies who have to live outside (dat's sad). Dere's too much snow to dig for old dead grass.

Lady Mama is even crazy enough to try growing something called "dahlias". They don't live here in da prairies cuz itz too cold, so she haz to dig dem up in da fall. Cuz she's got dis weird crazy look in her eyes, we told her we'd help her dig cuz we're gud diggers.

You can never be too careful with crazy cabin fever people! Dey can just snap and start runnin around in da snow wearin nothing but a bathing suit an a fur hat, trying to put a dead house plant in da frozen garden! So we're pretending dat it'z summer an it'z warm outside.

Hoomins are very sad in da winter...

***Stay tooned for updates!***

Hoppy Belated Birfday Buttons!

2009-02-18T20:50:00.001-06:00

Buttons is two years old...an we missed it! We're so sorry! But it looks liek you got lots of treats an presents! (Sorry dat Lady Mama had to "borrow" a little photo from your bloggie...we promise to put it back).

You could wish her a Hoppy Birfday over at Furrybutts! Dere's lots of cute pictures of Buttons with her banana cake an presents! She's so lucky!

We Missed You!

2008-12-27T19:49:00.006-06:00

Dear friends!

Sorry we've beed gone so long...Mr.Man and Lady Mama had companyz but now der gone...but tomorrow more companyz come. *Whew* Itz hard finding hiding spots. Everybunny wants to touch us! We always say, "Look with your eyes an not yer hands!" but dey never listen cuz wee're so soft. Itz hard to be so byootiful!

So we wanted to show you sum stuffs:

Lady Mama an Mr. Man had dinner at r Aunt's howse with r cousins Cheetah an Callie. Dey went for Christmas dinner on December 21 cuz da companyz were coming on December 24.

Here dey are waiting for turkeyz an cookies. Dere so polite!

On Christmas Eve, we got 2 very special cards in da mail...One from r bunny friends Buttons, Yohji and Hans. Dey live in Malaysia! Dat's reelly far away! Dey gave us a byootiful kard and two special bunny ornaments for r Christmas tree! Aren't dey great?! We luv dem so much!

An look at da kool stamps on de envelope! Dere funny!

An r other special kard came from r great friend Eaton in Australia. We think we want to live in Australia! Dey have kangaroos dere! Maybe we could be friends...Eaton, can u introduce us to some kangaroos?

See? Here's da byootiful kard she sent! We even tasted da corner to show r approval!

An den it was Christmas morning an Santa left us a prezint! Good thing we left him sum carrots and oats as a snak!

We liek da wicker ball an fancy flower hay salad, but we reeelly reeeelly liek the kardboard wrapping!

Merry belated Christmas to all r friends! Hope Santa was good to u too!

Hmmm...

2008-12-21T09:42:00.002-06:00

We think the thermometer is broken.

No wonder Lady Mama has been whining for dayz an dayz! When she stops whining itz because she's hiding on da sofa with a blankie on her head. Maybe she should wear a fur coat like us!

Ha ha!

Our Bestest Friend Moo!

2008-12-19T17:15:00.003-06:00

Sometimes Lady Mama babysits r friend Moo da Guinea Piggy. She's great! We get to hang out together an play. But sometimes she's really noisy...especially when you go near the salad box (translation: fridge)! Then she makes all kinds of funny piggy noises!

She's not coming to visit over the holidays, but we sent her a Christmas Kard an she sent us a prezent! Dat's so kool!
What cood be in der?

Holy cow! Dere's treets an a kyoot little Christmas sok! We luv it!

Hey, look! Da package says "A party in every bite!" Dat's so exciting! An tastes so yummy!

Here's Moo's Christmas picture. We think she's gonna wear dis for New Year's Eve! Miss Moo haz got it goin' on!

2008-12-08T16:56:00.004-06:00

Whew! We're soooo tired! Lady Mama didn't haf to werk today so we had to listen to her baking cookies an singin Christmas karols. She wouldn't give us any cookies...says they're "not good for you!" Dat's silly. If dey smell gud, dey must bee gud for u!

Anyway, we had to sleep with the flashy box flashing all da tiem!

We had a baff:

AppleJack tooked a nap:

Den I goosed him in da butt:

Den I runned away so we cud play tag!

Den Lady Mama an Mr. Man went to "run sum errands". Lady Mama mailed r Christmas kards. Yeah! Now we haf to gif kards to r friends here in town. Lady Mama sayed dat da line up was really, really long an she had to wait for awhile. But dat's okay cuz she HAD to mail r kards cuz we're too short to reach the counter and we don't haf pockets to carry stamps or monies for stamps!

Now we r tired an need another nap!

The Bunnies are Back!

2008-10-19T10:33:00.009-06:00

We found out what a "roadtrip" is...it's a really, really long drive!

We went from Regina, Saskatchewan to Lacombe, Alberta

Lady had to work, so we couldn't leave until 11:30 am. Dat means we got a late start. Our travel house was okay, but Mr. Man made us listen to the rock an roll music all the way there! We prefer classical or really cool Latin.

First we drove very far. Fortunately where we live is very flat, so Mr. Man could sleep an drive at the same time. He said that cuz the car was going straight and the road was straight, a nap was da proper thing to do. We tried to wave down a police car to report dis, but they couldn't see us in our travel house.

Along da way, we saw some interesting things, like this weird moving house! There were many houses on wheels. One was so big dat we had to drive in the ditch! Lady couldn't take a photo cuz she was busy screaming! She's very dramatic!

An we saw lots of grain elevators. Dat's where da famers put their yummy oats an other stuff. We wanted to stop to investimagate but Mr. Man couldn't hear us over da rock an roll music. We thought it was a good place to get a snack.

Cuz it's fall, dere's lots of big trucks with hay bales. We thought they were delivery trucks carrying our dinner, but Lady said da hay was for cows an horses. Why they steal our snacks?

Finally, we crossed over into Alberta! We already drived for 4 hours and still had to keep going!

Dere was more of the long road and the flat country...

...But eventually we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Lacombe!

Lacombe is really byootiful! Iz near a place called Red Deer an halfway between Edmonton an Calgary. Dis is one of da pretty buildings.

We stayed there for some days, but Mr. Man an Lady forgot to take photos. Grandma let us stay on da nice carpet an play all over da place! We loved it. But then it was time to go home.

They call Saskatchewan the "Land of Living Skies"...here's what they mean:

An we saw some buffalos too! They are really big!

But now we are are home an we are happy!

AppleJack has a Question...

2008-10-14T20:59:00.001-06:00

Deer people of the innernets,

Wazza "road trip"?

Oh Dear...

2008-10-13T21:02:00.000-06:00

Ders still snow ona grownd...

Lady mama's still cryin ona sofa...

Iz gonna be a long winter.

Uh Oh...

2008-10-13T09:47:00.002-06:00

Lady's freakin cuz dis is da view outside dis morning! We don think she likes da view.

Autumn went away!

2008-10-12T16:03:00.003-06:00

Yesterday, Lady took dis foto of a herd of wild bunnies in da field across the creek. Iz not a great foto, but she's just a silly hoomin so don be too hard on her! (Da little white dots by the red box are da bunnies)

Dis afternoon it started to snow. Snow is cold an wet an we don't like it too much. Herez da same photo frum today:

Here's our backyard:

But don worry cuz we r nice an cozy in da Bunny Lounge!

Da End

Dis for Miss Daisy!

2008-10-09T19:29:00.004-06:00

Miss Daisy,

Beecuz you wear kyoot outfits, we thought you wood appresiat this kyoot little hand made pirate kitteh! We saw her and thought of you! Look at her preety little skirt!

Love Lola & AppleJack

Thanks Everybunny!

2008-10-07T20:13:00.003-06:00

Thanks for all the reelly nise comments on Da Bunny Lounge! We liek company! We wish you were here in reel life so we could show you how we danse an play!

But deres someting else you should know...Lady is using some very unladylike langauges lately! She keeps talkin out how wallpapers are made by the devil. She's been in the basement peeling the papers off the walls, an she's been complaining an windging for 2 days! We don't understand why it's such hard work!

Look we already started peeling the papers off da wall in Da Bunny Lounge!

Dis is for you Mr. Jeter!

2008-10-03T19:40:00.004-06:00

We wuz reading r favorite bloggies and Mr. Jeter Harris said:

"wow ... wuttza bunny lounge? jus wunderin."

So now we gif you a toor, so you feel comfortables when you come to visit!

Dis r howse were we stay at nite. R potty iz in der with r hay an food. See how the doors are open? Dats so we can go in an out whenever we want!

Dis is where we tried to make some home improvements, but the hoomin slaves didn't approve an they put some tin foil an tape down. Hoomin slaves have no taste in interior designs! We just can't haf nise things!

Dis Mr.Man working at the big table with the tv and letter board. We like to tease him and dance around because we don't have to "work" because we are bunnies!

Dis is the fabulus table where the yummies are! Iz just a little bit too hi for us to reach da yummies. But sumtimes we can reach an grab them an run away! Heehee!

Dis where da slaves keep da moovies. We like to make de moovies pretty by noming on them. Da slaves don like it so they put up the force field. Sumtimes we think we live with hillbillies!

Dis is da our favorite play area! Ders a stage to danse on an our hiding box to nap in an our favorite phonebook to nom!

Sumtimes we hang out under the fabulous table an eat Lady's knitting patterns. She likes to play with stix an string, but we're not supposed to eat da stix so we eat da patterns to make dem byootiful!

Dis is da crazy invisible force field that makes us have to stay in the Bunny Lounge. Iz really slippy an scary! We can only go here if da slaves carry us! Mr. Jeter can probly cross da force field cuz he has little pads on his feets. We only haz furs which is kinda like wearing skates.

Da end.

Hope to see you soon Mr. Jeter!

Bunny Facts: Part 1

2008-09-28T10:58:00.003-06:00

Bunny Myths:

#1. Bunnies should live outside. False!
Bunnies like to live indoors! Da vet says we have longer "life-span" (We don't know dat word) if we live in a howse. Up to 15 years! Lola's 2 and I'm 3 so we have a long time to go!

#2. Bunnies smell bad. False!
We smell nice! Sometimes AppleJack even smells like Mr.Man's perfume! Dat's weird, but true! As long as the hoomin slaves tidy our potty, there's no smell at all!

#3. Bunnies should only eat pellets. False!
We like a varied diet...but we are vegetable-arians. We get a big salad in da morning and at bedtime. We also get only a little tiny bit of pellets and oats, cuz they make us fat! But one time Lola tried to steal a porkchop. I don't know why cuz I'm scard of meat! I go *thump* when I smell it!

#4. Bunnies only like carrots. False!
We like carrots, but it's an acquired taste. They are very high in calcium an sugar so we can get chubby or even bladder rocks if we eat too many!

#5. Bunnies need to stay in a cage all the time. False False False!
We sleep in a cage (we prefer the word "howse") at night so we stay safe. But Mr. Man an Lady leave the door open for us all day so we can go in and out. We eat an nap an potty in our house but we like to run and play in the livingroom an in Mr. Man's office all day! We have special spots where we nap an groom an stuff. We feel sad for bunnies who have to stay locked up all the time! They get chubby an cranky an sometimes they will bite cuz they are sad an frustrated!

#6. Bunnies are vishus an mean. So very very false we could cry!
We don't know why people think this! It's very sad because those people never even met us! We are not mean or vishus! We luv when peoples come to visit us. Because we are "fixed" (we don't think we were broken before but hoomins are weird), we are very polite an gentle. We like to sit with the hoomin slaves an groom them because sometimes their furs are wrinkled an dirty. We also like to be groomed by the hoomin slaves. We sit an watch the talking box with them so they don't feel lonely an then they feel special! We don't bite them either. Sometimes we lick them to see how they taste, but we don't bite! Our new vet said that AppleJack was a "biter" but that's cuz he was scared an she touched him under his chin where his eyes can't see, but usually he's very very polite, even when the slaves hand feed us treats.

We hope this helps clear up some very bad rumours about bunnies! We are kind of like kittehs but I think we get in less trouble! (Sorry, Kitteh friends!) And our ears are longer! :)

The Bunnies are excited!

2008-09-27T15:47:00.004-06:00

AppleJack: Lola's so excited that she fainted and falled over! I have to blog all by myself!

Mr. Jeter Harris put us on his bloggie! I'm so excited that I couldn't even eat my treats! I'm running laps around the living room with happy! Mr. Jeter is famous, you know. All the kitties in the world know him. He's like a rock star, only really nice!

We love you Mr. Jeter! Maybe you can come visit us! We could play and go for a ride in the Bunny Buggy! Do you eat salad? We eat salad and you can have ours!

Lola says:
Our byootiful friend Gaston Meow gived us these two awards! Isn't he the bestest kitteh in the whole world! We love Gaston Meow!

AppleJack says:
He also sent us our very first meme! I'm so excited I nearly fell down!

This is our meme: list three things that you don't like.

Lola:
Hmmm...this is hard becuz bunnies are very particular and we don't like lots of things.

AppleJack:
But we can only have three!

Lola:
Okay, but we'll list the bestest three!

AppleJack:
Agreed.

The things we dislike the most are:

1. Manicures and pedicures because they are very degrading and the stoopid hoomin lady takes too long!

2. The wrong treats. Sumtimes stoopid hoomin slaves try to be creative with the yummies. Stop it!

3. Being interrupted when we're playing in the park. Hoomin slaves don't have much endurance so the make US come home early! Have you ever heard of a treadmill?? Seriously!

Lady made a nice video to show you how kyoot we are, but Blogger couldn't upload it. *sigh*

What?!?

2008-09-20T16:32:00.002-06:00

We were reading the newspaper this morning and read a story that gave us a sad! Did you know that some bunnies don't have forever homes? We didn't know!

This is Cadbury and he and his 6 friends are looking for homes. The live at a place called the Humane Society and they don't have bunny buggies or toys or playtime!

We are sad for our brothers and sisters. :(

Apple Jack's Story

2008-09-16T20:10:00.002-06:00

Hi...it's Lady again. I thought it only fair to tell Apple Jack's story and how he came to us.

Mr. Man and I knew that Lola desperately needed a friend because she treated him like her boyfriend...grooming his feet, begging for attention, etc. but she also had a strange behaviour. She refused to let her tummy fur grow -- in fact, she was over grooming herself and at times, pulling tufts of fur right out!

I saw an add with a cute photo of a sweet brown boy bunny. His name was Apple Jack. I rang the owner and found that she was moving to a place that didn't allow pets. She had already found homes for 2 other bunnies, but no one seemed interested in Apple Jack.

Mr. Man and I quickly went to see this little guy...and he was adorable! It broke my heart that no one had wanted this little dude! After a failed attempted bonding with our 2 previous rabbits, we were a bit nervous about just bringing him home. The owner said that we could bring Lola to see Apple Jack and see how it went. I had hopes because he had lived with other rabbits and was obviously lonely and slightly depressed.

The introduction went fairly well. Apple Jack was interested but not aggressive. Lola was terrified and kept looking for a place to hide...but not aggressive either! Yeah! It just might work!

This is a photo of the two of them together on Apple Jack's second night with us.

It took about a week and lots of driving around the city with two nervous rabbits in a laundry basket (after more traditional bonding attempts had been made) but they were finally friends! They loved each other! But now we had another problem. Apple Jack stopped eating. Needless to say, this scared the poop out of us because we had lost a sweet little boy to gastric stasis not even a year before.

We rushed him to the vet. She checked his teeth, took x-rays, did a thorough exam (concluded that he's a bitter! Which he's not! He's never even grazed me with his teeth in his frenzy to nom down a treat! Crazy lady! *grumble grumble*) and said if he was in stasis, it was very early stages.

By the following day, he still wasn't eating and we had to resort to force feeding and daily weigh-ins. That week he lost over a pound (he was only around 5 lbs when we got him).

I know! He doesn't look too happy, but he tolerated it like the trooper that he is and got better. He's been perfect ever since! (Poor pathetic little baby!)

This is one of his first photo shoots where he was still interested in the camera. He doesn't even pretend to be interested anymore. In fact, just the other day we took a picture of him while he was sleeping with his eyes wide open. Even though the flash was pretty intense, he didn't even flinch.

Here he is during one of his first trips to the park. He loves the park and playing in the grass! It's usually a bit of a struggle to get him loaded back in the bunny buggy for the trip home.

Today, Apple Jack has become a huge part of our lives. He's funny, playful and adorable! Every day after work, he and Lola come running for their mid-afternoon treat and dance around my feet until I giggle (and give in!). The both hang out with us in the evening...sleeping, cuddling, grooming each other and watching tv.

We're so glad that we found him and that he loves Lola so very, very much!

New Friend!

2008-09-15T20:01:00.003-06:00

Today we want to introduce new friend! We are so excited to have new internet friends!

Dis is Toulouse the Kitteh! He extremely handsome kitteh...so majestic!

2008-09-13T18:00:00.005-06:00

Lady should know better than to leave a paper where we can reach! We like art projects. Dis one called "Altered Knitting Pattern, #17".

Lola's Story

2008-09-12T21:16:00.009-06:00

Hi,

This is "Lady". I thought I'd interrupt the bunny blog to tell you a little bit about Lola and how she came to us.

In the fall of 2006, we'd moved to a new city. We went back to our previous home to pick up a few items we'd left with a neighbour. Because we had volunteered at the local SPCA (with the rabbits, mainly), we stopped in to see the staff. We'd been gone for a couple of months and only one familiar rabbit remained...Lola.

I remembered her from our volunteer days and had worried that she wouldn't be adopted because she was quite shy, was almost completely white and had a deformed back leg. When we saw her in her little cage, I knew we had to take her with us! Fortunately, my husband (Mr.Man) had brought along the travel carrier. We ran out and got a few things for Lola and went back to the shelter to pick her up.

Our vehicle was pretty full on the trip home and I had to stow the carrier under my feet...not such a nice place for a bunny! So we took her out of her carrier and she sat on my lap with her head in the crook of my arm for the 2 1/2 hour trip home! We've been in love with her ever since.

These photos are of Lola's first day with us.

We didn't know Lola's age, but figured she was about six months. When to took her in to be spayed, the vet found that she was quite a bit younger. In the end, it made sense...she slept a lot and didn't mind being held for long periods of time.

This photo shows Lola during one of her many naps after her surgery. Note the naked belly!

Lola's never been a brave girl...full of personality, but a complete chicken. I don't think she'd ever been outside before I tried taking her out a the shelter. She hid under a picnic table the entire time! No matter what I tried or how much I coaxed, she wouldn't budge! Things have changed now. We try to take the buns to the park on a regular basis and they seem to really enjoy themselves.

*Peek-a-Boo!*

Lola now runs the house. Here she's showing her disapproval of our choice of living room furniture! You'll be pleased to hear that we've changed our decor!

Here she's hanging out on the sofa while Mr. Man sits on the floor.

This is Lola today...two years later (minus Apple Jack, her constant companion). She's a big beautiful, mischievous little princess! We love her to death and are glad we have the honour of giving her a forever home.

Yeah Summer!

2008-09-06T17:48:00.003-06:00

Cleaning day sucks. Mr. Man rips our house apart. Then he takes away the poop tray! Where are we supposed to go?

No tray! No water bottle! No Hay! *thump thump*

Almost back to normal. Stoopid filthy hoomins! They should clean when we are out playing!

Wow!

Today Lady had a good hair day and she says that means that her
Museum Tour went well!

We don't know what them means but that's okay.

Look, the yoggie bag has been left unattended...we better investigate!

Labour Day Monday

2008-09-01T19:24:00.003-06:00

Today we helped Mr. Man fix his computers. He has many, many, many. A few days ago, something started going *beeeeeep beeeeeep beeeeep*. He told us what it was, but it was geek-speak, so of course we didn't really get it ('cuz we are not geeks).

Here's how we directed the delicate operations:

Then we were exhausted! So much work! Mr. Man's a slave driver! We disapprove!

It's too Quiet...

2008-08-31T14:56:00.005-06:00

City is quiet...too quiet. We disapprove to too much quiet city. We go on interwebs for answers...Dis what we find:

Today is Labour Day Classic between Regina Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Apparently, this is big deal! Okay, we get it.

Go Riders!Love Lola & Apple Jack
