She was loved.

We lost River at 10:30 this morning.  She passed away peacefully in my lap with big human giving her noogies and purring away until almost the very end.  We were so lucky to have the little munchkin in our lives for 12 years.  I'm sure she's off on a grand adventure with Simon and getting up to all kinds of shenanigans!

I'm sure we'll eventually open our hearts to another pair of little ones in need of a good home, but it's going to be a while.  When we do, I'll share their ups and downs with you as I have with Simon and River.  Hugs to you all and thank you all so much for visiting the blog for all these years.

Hoppy Easter!

River is having a little house party with her besties!  (She's a little salty about me moving the Easter eggs out of reach since she was about to chow down on the closest one.  It's a good thing we have plenty of more appropriate holiday snacks for her and her friends!)

We're going to be visiting with family for the next two weeks, so we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on April 15th.  

Excuse me!

Sweet potato bun comin' through!

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back on Sunday for a special holiday post.

Synchronized boredom.

A living room full of toys and this is how they chose to spend their time. 😐

Sneaky kisses!

River thought that Simon looked like he could use some kisses and an ear hug. 💕

It's celery time!

Happy crunching and munching ensues making the living room smell like celery with her bunny breath. 😂

Shenanigans are afoot!

Look at Simon being all coy while River is up to no good in the mirror. 😅

A girl can dream, can't she?

Shoes!!! 😍 💕

River's favorite catalog just arrived!

I like these ones the best.  Better chin this page to mark it for later!

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Time to eat!

The little munchkin has a schedule to keep and the cage cleaning is going to have to wait until she's done.

It was funny how she waited until I got the fresh towels down before hopping out of her spaceship/Ziploc container and gave me her 'Gimme my food, human!' look along with a baby thump.  I kept offering her various food items back until she settled on the paste I so rudely stole prior to cleaning. 😂

Bouncy bun!

I love how it looks like Simon was patiently waiting his turn to bounce in front of me.

Smothered with love.

I really have to question Simon's choice of paw placement right on River's nose during this little snuggle session. 😅

A jaunty angle.

River took her pellet dish for a walk.  I guess propping it up like that makes the pellets easier to get to!

You did that on purpose.

Look at this unrepentant little face!  Just moments earlier:

Me:  Let's clean your ears up so you don't have issues. [places ear flush drops in both ears and gives ear massage]

River:  Nooo!  It feels weird!!! [violent ear flapping and angry meeps]

Me:  [feels something wet all over the bottom half of my face and neck] Eeew, River!  That was not very cash money of you.  Now I need a shower and possibly go boil my skin.

River:  That's what you get!!!

Me:  Yeah, well joke's on you--I'm cleaning your face after I'm done with my shower.

So, we learned a lesson today about cleaning bunny ears and the need to get the heck out of Dodge before the ear flapping starts.  Good to know!

 Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

The flying bun.

SuperBun to the rescue!

Another thing on his 'to do' list.

River:  I know, right?!  We should be getting kisses right now, mirror bun.

Simon:  [sigh]

Holding court. 👑

Our little princess looks like she's consulting her royal advisors on how best to proceed with her shenanigans.  It appears that Mr. Giraffe, Esq. had an idea that was met with Her Majesty's disapproval!

Two bunnies solving the big problems.

Simon:  Do we spring forward or hop back for this time change?

River:  I don't know.  How about we do both at the same time so we never have to do this again?

Simon:  Brilliant!

Turn that frown upside-down!

It's okay, big human will be back from his work trip later today!  Until then, we'll give you all of the snuggles and kisses.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Cuddles and snuggles.

Just a bit of bunny love to help brighten your Thursday! 💕

Momentum is a cruel mistress.

Simon:  I'm gonna do the biggest flop ever!  Hold my carrot! [rolls over while flailing at the sky]

River:  [mildly traumatized] Dude, you almost died!

Mirror smooches!

Gotta put a positive spin on needing to clean the mirror again. 😉

Clean all the things!

River was the unwilling participant in a spa day.  I flushed her ears to clean them, cleaned the cooties off of her front paws since she was expressing herself with her food again, and managed to get the carrot baby food off of her face before the stain set in!  Feeling pretty accomplished right now. 😊

My lettuce!

River noticed Mr. Giraffe eyeing her lettuce and immediately set her chin on it to claim it.  We're still working on the whole sharing thing! 😅

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Hoppy Leap Day!

What better way to celebrate than with a double binky?

Intrusive thoughts.

If I nudge Simon right now, he'll roll over.

Thankfully, River fought her impulsive tendencies and Simon had no idea that he was only seconds from disaster!

So that happened.

River realized that big human was missing and decided that she should drag her dish of paste into the center of her cage to pee on it in protest.  Not sure how that was supposed to bring big human back from his work trip, but bunny logic is a bit beyond us mere humans.

Mr. Giraffe, Esq. would like to point out that he strongly advised his client against peeing on her food, but since it did result in fresh paste, he considers that a win even though big human didn't magically materialize due to her actions.  River, unhappy with this outcome (even though second breakfast was tasty), appears to be considering escalation to bring her big human back.

Tummy rubs!

They make Mondays kinda okay.

Gimme noogies!

River takes her job of being the cutest little distraction ever very seriously! 💕

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Bunimpressed.

Lol--River's face! 😐

A little sulk (I hope).

River refused to scoot out of the way so I could change her paper towels.  I'm hoping Mr. Giraffe hugs and kisses will help persuade little Miss Cranky-Pants to let me clean her room. 

Oats!

Photographic evidence that bunnies can share...for about 5 seconds and then the shoving match starts!

Wait a minute...

The moment River realized that Simon was up higher than she was.  Not that climbing all over big human isn't fun, but up high is up high, ya know?

Cuddle puddle!

Once again, River remains grand champion of the get low, get kisses game.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

These are mine now.

One more pair to add to her shoe hoard! 👞👟👠👡👢🐇

Hoppy Valentine's Day! 💗

River has just slathered on her super special green lipstick and is ready to give sloppy kisses to everyone and everybun! 💕

Telling on yourself.

You know shenanigans are afoot when Simon looks guilty before anything even happens!

Monday snuggles.

Just a bit of bunny love to start your week off right! 💕

All tuckered out.

You can tell it was an epic playtime when they both have that 1,000 yard stare while snuggling.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Floppin' rabbitude.

Who put this cage in my way?!  I'm floppin' here!

I love how River looks offended on Simon's behalf. 😅

Follow me!

River is off on another adventure while Simon is working out how to traverse the loveseat-couch junction with the remote control still in the way.  River makes that stuff look easy!

Head scritches!

It was cute--the more I messed up her fur, the louder the purrs got.  That must've been the best head massage ever!

Rub my belly!

I was going through old pics and this one made me laugh, so I had to share!

Little cuddlebun.

Some days you just need some extra hugs. 💕

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

A new friend!

Boop!

I like Spike!  He is green and reminds me of lettuce.

Simon's happy place.

The little fella always loved a good tummy rub!

Snuggle hugs!

Just a bit of bunny love to start your day off right! 💕

Chug-chug-chug!

It is funny how even after all these months, River is still super excited about getting her probiotic carrot baby food every day.  The little gulp noises she makes are too cute!  She also loves trying to play tug of war with the syringe as though that'll make more baby food magically appear.

As an aside, that syringe has held up for over 8 years now with regular use and is still going strong because it's completely made of hard plastic without the rubber stopper that most have on them.  It's a 5ml infant acetaminophen syringe/dropper if you're looking for one (they come in the box with the medicine).  Just give the medicine to someone who has little ones as they probably already have the same syringe so it won't go to waste.
