Just an ordinary meeting between two bunnies here, nothing remarkable or notable to see… just move along.

What? I don’t think there is anything wrong with this location – although dad was rather surprised.

Actually, surprising dad was kind of the point of this exercise. I like to keep him on his toes.

This position in particular really confused dad.

Or, in other words: Mission Accomplished.

-Gus

On the other hand, if you were to, say, put out a few treats for me, I might relax that rule… for just a little while, though.

Just sayin’.

-Betsy

If you want to avoid this fate next time, I suggest you leave more treats out.

-Gus

You’d better be joking, dad… for your sake.

-Betsy

You need to groom all the way down your sides.

And don’t forget to groom the bottom of your feet!

Of course, after doing all that grooming it is perfectly acceptable to take a nap. Grooming is hard work, after all!

-Gus

This is something that’s a bit personal to me, since I was given to some kids for Easter, who later abandoned me in a parking lot. Fortunately for me, mum saw this happen and rescued me – but every year there are many, many more of my bunny brethren who aren’t so lucky.

Which is why I go to such great lengths to remind people that giving a real, live bunny rabbit as a toy or gift is probably not the best idea.

Of course, if you asked dad, he’d also mention all the “work” that he supposedly has to do, and how vet bills can add up, and how so on and so forth. And I’m sure mum would also mention something about chewing & furniture, but I wouldn’t know anything about that (that’s Betsy’s specialty).

But whichever way you look at it, a bunny is a living animal, not a toy, and we aren’t temporary, either – we can live for 10 years (I’ve just passed my 8th birthday).

So if you’re thinking about getting a bunny for Easter, please think twice about it. So many people aren’t prepared for what taking care of a grown rabbit means – and if you’re not prepared, I would beg you not to get a live rabbit at all – instead, stick with the chocolate kind.

And if you do decide that you’re ready to bring a bunny into your life, perhaps consider adopting one instead? You’d be saving the life of a bunny who’s probably been abandoned – maybe even another Easter bunny, like me.

-Gus

Also we have obscured the identity of this bunny so you have no idea who it is.

NO IDEA.

NOPE.

NONE.

Any resemblance to any other bunny in this household is purely coincidental.

-Betsy

Don’t mind me – I’m just checking to make sure your pants aren’t secretly made of treats.

(It turns out they weren’t – but I’m glad I checked.)

-Gus

Like, for example, this:

There I was, just trying to take an after-dinner nap, and Betsy came along and sat on my face.

*sigh* The things I put up with…
