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 is hide-and-go-seek grand champion!

I became an unwilling participant in a game of hide-and-go-seek when the phone rang.  It took me a while to find her this time.  I have to give her points for scaring the heck out of me when I found her behind the trash can and recycle bin--I just caught movement from the corner of my eye as I was going past the kitchen.  She is the only bunny I've ever had that is perfectly okay with walking on a linoleum floor, so I tend to forget that those rooms aren't off-limits to her.  Here she is upon discovery giving me her 'butter wouldn't melt' face.

A morning with Chaos and Mayhem.

This is what greeted me this morning.  Simon's cuteness quotient approaches zero for this little stunt.  I shall dub him Chaos for today.  He seems genuinely shocked that I don't want to pet him after this.

River saw what Chaos (aka Simon) was doing and saw how much attention he was getting and decided to get in on the action.  It looks as if she's asking him, "Am I doing this right?"  She earns the moniker of Mayhem this morning.  A classic case of bunny see, bunny do.

River is scary smart...

At first, I couldn't understand what River's fascination with our doors was.

She'd spend about half of her time out of her cage going around the apartment carefully checking out each of our doors.

It wasn't until yesterday that I finally figured out what she was doing...she's trying to understand how doors work so she can make her opening gambit for bunny world domination!  It all makes sense now--first, you have to escape your cage, then the apartment, and finally the world is yours!

Sleepy bunny wants attention.

Here's a video of Simon wanting attention.  He has recently started moving his litter box to get me to run over to him before he flips it entirely.  He then uses cuteness as a weapon against me by giving me bunny kisses.  It would seem that he has me well trained.  He napped for a solid hour after this was filmed.

Thanks for flying American Harelines!

I don't even want to know where they got the biplane from.  I also have no idea where they're off to and have a sneaking suspicion that they don't either.

Dramatic lop flop Friday!

Simon took a running dive at the ground in this pic.  He almost flipped himself over onto his back.  Such a drama queen!

River was running around the house like mad and completely wore herself out.  She noticed the towel and just collapsed onto it.  She looks like she's thinking, "This is the softest bed ever...how can I get this in my cage?"

Surgical recovery note:  Both Simon and River are doing well but will be staying inside their cages today to avoid overdoing it (Vet's orders).  I think Simon has realized what's missing and is a bit sulky with me.  River is her usual happy-go-lucky self.  So far, it looks like they're starting to get a bit of an appetite back as the drugs wear off.  River was all excited for breakfast this morning, Simon looks as if he wants to go on a hunger strike if I'm the one bringing the food to him...I catch him nibbling at it when he thinks I'm not looking.

I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday!
