uh oh



Look carefully at each of these photos. The common thread they share is that my Bunny
Chocolate Chip has become a bit of a `un librarian' ..... haha (is that a word??) We had no Idea what was going on for weeks, books all over the house. No one had any idea it was the bunny pulling books off . Every morning you would wake up and `a pile of papers & books' would be waiting..... Mystery, I believe in Angels & the books that were taken out were always bunny books or prayer books. If you told me it was the bunny doing this..... until he was caught red handed..... well... this bunny LOVES munching on paper... and he LOVES having his own paperback... so in photos if it looks like the floor is `cluttered with papers or little books' that is his little area... and he loves it oh he has a phone book thrown in the mix to munch on.
crazy bunny.
I have taken some papers & folded them and put them on the shelf for him to munch to make snowflakes for Christmas... He likes different thickness, so I am giving that a try?

brothers


Brothers, these 2 play together-ignore each other- love each other- sniff each other-kiss each other-chase the bunny even will circle the dog over & over again & again then off they run
....the only problem they have is that they both love cheerios & tostitos chips ...and have a problem sharing ... It really is not a problem the bunny just looks away if he decides it is `ok' that the dog can have it. Now the dog has his own & a much larger bowl. If the bunny is not feeling like it he will let you know...so back off.... In this photo the wee brown cup of snack chips belongs to the mini rex bunny Chocolate Chip along with a cup of his beloved fresh Basil.

always waiting...

We have had so much rain... this southern heat & humidity is so bad they have had warnings on the news.It just seems early that the high temps & big rains have hit so early this year. This week we have had 97 degree days again, and that's not adding other factors..


now.... I know one little fellow you will NOT find complaining about the weather .. the above picture gentleman....yes...once again..let me-- introduce: Chocolate Chip... He is a Velveteen Rabbit=A Mini Rex The bunny from the story book. Yes he is soft. sooo soft you can't keep your
hands off him...BUT... Mini Rex's are funny they are royalty and decide when they want to be touched. So he has to kind of come to you. Chocolate Chip will hop up on a sofa next to you. The cutest, is he has a wee child's chair that he will hop into-when he is in it he will wait for a papaya treat or cheerios a nose rub. It is adorable.
He was named Chocolate Chip, partly for his color it is called `chocolate'. Look at him & it looks like he was sprinkled with chocolate chips.
We called him a terrorist at 1st, when he broke out of his cage every day & night. Eventually, we decided that he was going to really hurt himself breaking out of the cage. so we gave up & left it open & bunny proofed the house. What an experience......free range....meaning, he has a cage but goes there for water & to use his `potty box', eats pellets, then runs very, very, very, very, fast to other parts of the house, mainly the living room. He has specific areas & `we' have `agreed' to. kind of .. Chocolate Chip likes to hide under the sofa along the wall & under my husbands big desk. So,once we figured out his `spots' I made quilted & back up fleece blankets & set them in his little areas & tried to `work' out an `understanding' with him ...you know the CAGE or the blankets kinda things... well it took a bit but we we eventually came to a `potty trained' understanding with each other (more or less)
......So the reason he is totally fine with the weather is that HE LOVES BASIL & parsley & I planted 12 basil plants for him & the have been growing wonderfully with with hot rainy weather. Every day we just take a few steps out the front door with a scissors & snip ... Lucky Chocolate Chip has fresh Basil & his snack ` chips' Tostitos ....in a cool house. Oh yes he has a bowl of fresh Timothy nearby. I tried a tomato yesterday, he should have liked that? well I did... vine ripe yum ... His other yummy is papaya. and apples He LOVES apples. He is off carrots this week.. the last few weeks he was off parsley? he is like that. I think it is the stores down here & how the taste varies....or can be yuck day to day. hm mm
