Bunny New Year's Eve PSA.

Because Simon and River care.

It's the final countdown!

Simon decides to steal the last kiss of 2014 as they wait to ring in the new year.
Wishing you all a very safe and Happy New Year!

Do I want to know?

It appears that I've stumbled into the midst of a bunny territorial dispute.  They've divided the living room up using the kleenex box as no-bun's land.  The look on River's face seems to sum up their feelings pretty well.

Hoppy Monday!

Somebunny's in a good mood!  Hopefully a bunny binky will help brighten your Monday a bit.

Shush!

It's nap time now.  Go to sleep!
River is a little chatterbox--she's always making weird little noises, hooting, chirping, clicking and purring.  Being deaf, she has no idea that bunnies are normally silent, but it just adds to her charm!
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Merry Christmas!

Simon and River discover that Antarctica has a rather unwelcoming immigration policy for non-penguins.

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and for those who don't celebrate this particular holiday, we hope you have a very happy Thursday!

Which one is it?!

Simon realizes that all the times he's squabbled with his sister would classify him as "naughty" by Santa's gift-giving standards, but he's also been "nice" by following commands, grooming his sister and not making messes.
The uncertainty about Santa's list-making rubric has him slightly horrified that he didn't keep a tally of his actions so he could be extra nice to balance things out and guarantee presents under the tree.
I tried to reassure him, but he's set on fretting until he sees a present with his name on it.

Hello!

I love you and your jacket is mine now...just thought you should know.

Me too!

River isn't bashful when it comes to asking demanding to be groomed.  I'm a bit surprised that she didn't roll Simon over in her quest for attention.

The breakfast of champions.

River couldn't wait for me to finish preparing their birthday breakfast and felt the need to inspect my progress by hopping onto the coffee table.  I'll let it slide just this once (and she's only standing on the paper towel, so there's that).

They're eating like people!
I should also note that Simon sitting on my lap is unheard of--the most he usually does is put his front paws up.  Apparently, oat covered banana slices are powerful motivation.

In a complete role reversal, River decided to forgo basic table manners and stuffed the entire banana oat concoction into her mouth and proceeded to sloppily eat it on my lap while Simon was content to daintily eat like a human (showing proper etiquette by keeping his elbows off of the table).
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Birthday buns!

Simon and River are partying it up for their 3rd Birthday.  They're helping themselves to some oat confetti to celebrate!

Couch tag!

Well, their game started on the couch, then it proceeded to extend to the rest of the living room until I was tagged/pounced on by River.  I didn't even know I was playing!

Daily affirmation with Simon J. Bun.

I'm fast enough, I'm cute enough, and, doggone it, people like me!
Good self-esteem is important...even for bunnies.

Is it Monday already?

I think Simon is trying to play dead to get out of work and his dead bunny flop is so convincing that River is checking to see if he's okay.

Happy Friday!

I made you some cinnamon buns.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Simon learns a valuable lesson.

Telling River that she tastes like a cootie is not an effective strategy to get groomed yourself.

Bunny flop!

Simon takes comfort very seriously.

I knew this day would come.

Simon and River have perfected their "innocent bunny" faces!  Phase one of their plan for world domination is complete.  I have yet to determine if they are ahead or behind schedule.

Two buns on a mission.

To spread some bunny cuteness and leave your day a little brighter than it was before you visited!

Creative use of leftovers.

Here's a pic of bunnies with cookies on their heads.

River has had enough of Thanksgiving leftovers while Simon is considering seconds.
Thank you all so much for visiting the blog--this week we passed 300,000 all time page views!  We hope you have a great weekend and we'll be back on Monday.

Should've named him Hoover.

No job is too small for our little picker-upper!  Here he is vacuuming the rug of any and all bits of oats, pellets and hay that River has unceremoniously dumped onto the floor.

His tireless attention to detail ensures a thorough cleaning every time!
Honestly, we do feed him--it's just that we're pretty sure the little guy would eat until he popped if left to his own devices.  That's our loveable little Simon bun (or you can think of him as a fluffy black hole with ears)!

Big flop for a little bunny!

I caught River mid-flop.  Her reflection in the mirror cracks me up with the little paws and bunny mouth!

Two methods of bunny cleaning.

Individual results may vary.

Best bunny game ever!

It's called 'Distract the Human While They're Cleaning'.
Near as we can figure, points are awarded thusly:
1 point:
Making the human use one hand to scoot the bunny away from what they're doing.
Forcing the human to move an item of interest out of reach of the bunny.
5 points:
Fully stopping the human from what they're doing.  This can be accomplished in any manner of the game player's choosing, such as:
Forcing the human to use both hands to scoot/pick up the bunny.
Knocking over/stealing/eating the human's cleaning supplies.
Engaging in any action that causes the human to run to/chase after the bunny (exploring an off-limits area/picking an intentional fight with another bunny/attempting to destroy a belonging of the human in question).  
10 points (instant win):
Creating an even greater mess for the human to clean up, such as:
Climbing into the hay bag and scattering its contents across the living room floor.
Jumping into the litter box as the human attempts to place it in the cage, scattering litter everywhere.
Biting a hole into the trash bag used for disposing of funkified litter.
**Note:  Extra points may be awarded for creativity, sheer audacity and/or amount of havoc wreaked upon the human or surrounding area.
