River's power trip.

 

River has figured out that electricity is vital to the human's computer.  I imagine her plot to use this newly acquired info goes something like this: 
Step 1-Seize control of the electricity. 
Step 2-...
Step 3-OATS.

Sorry about the late post, I had some technical difficulties (and now, slight formatting issues).  For some reason, Google blogger keeps giving me fits with uploading pictures as of late.  If you check the blog and a post is late, just check back a bit later because that means I'm having my typical luck with things mechanical.  I swear I'm an analog girl in a digital world.   

OATS!

Don't let the quick oats can fool you--it's loaded with old fashioned oats (aka:  the good stuff, bunny crack 2.0).  It took me a while to figure out why River was sitting in Simon's cage looking like she's giving him instructions.  They've figured out that they only get the oats when they're in their cages, so it stands to reason that one of them must be in a cage to get the oats.  The other is tasked with figuring out how the can works.  It looks like Simon is pretty sure that the measuring scoop is the ticket to yummy oat goodness.

Simon managed to knock the oat can over and the scoop is non-functional.  It looks like they've decided that River is the one to get the oat can open.  Again, one bunny is in the cage and one is outside.  Too bad she's working on the wrong end.

Apparently, bunny patience comes with a fairly short time limit.  They've dispensed with normal oat receiving protocol and have decided to tag-team the oat can.  If they roll the can back and forth, surely the oats will come out.  They won't even be picky and require the scoop...oats are just as good straight off of the floor!  The 5 second rule won't even need to be applied because the oats won't be around for that long.

I do have to give the person who engineered that oat container credit for the cap to stay on given all of the abuse the bunnies have put it through.  Bravo good sir or madam!  On that note, I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday!

Simon's quest for oats.

Simon decided to start with the already open box of oats.  He quickly realized two things: 1) his body would not fit inside the box and 2) there were no oats in there.  Fine, if that's how you're going to be...

I'll just tip over the box I know has oats in it!  Hmm, no oats came out.  Maybe if I...

Huh, pushing it across the floor didn't work either.  But I want oats!  I need them!  They're so yummy and crunchy and oaty...is oaty a word?

[sigh] Maybe if I lay here and look sad enough, she'll give me some.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has visited this blog!  So far, we've had 8,270 page views from all over the world.  Thanks again and I hope you all have a great weekend!  I'll be back on Monday. 

River's quest for oats.

This is when we found out that oats are like crack for bunnies.  Here we find River jonesing for oats and deciding to go directly to the source--the oat scoop.  Simon is providing encouragement (I don't know why he decided to scrunch himself up like that in the corner--it looks uncomfortable, but he's caught up in the moment, I guess).  Sadly, the scoop was empty.  No matter...

River remembered that there was an open oat container hidden amongst the toys!  Surely, the oats are at the bottom...just a bit further...

At this point, I imagine River is thinking, "Hmmm...maybe if I push it across the floor it will give me oats.  It can't be that hard--the humans give us oats all the time."  I'm not sure how I feel about being Simon and River's oat 'dealer' now.
