heart and soul

Hearts to Hugo, Yowli and Miss Eve. Rabbits are small but their souls are big.

Hare Brained Scheme

"Hair Brained"
"Dumb bunny"

These are people's terms for other people who are not smart.

Come on.

Look at this.

A person made this. They called it a 'rabbit.' Other people agree that this is a rabbit. Another person might even buy this rabbit!

Who is "one carrot short of a bunch" now?

Not the rabbit, I can tell you that!

Dog House

I am in the dog house.
Ankles had to sew up her sweater today.
There were 6 holes.
The dog house has raisins.

Shoes like Baxter

Baxter showed a picture on his blog. It was himself. looking out at snow. There are shoes by the door. They are like the shoes I share with Ankles.

It's great that Ankles and I can share shoes. These are really great shoes.

I've shown these shoes before.

This is a new picture.The old picture is here.

You can see how fast they are wearing out. They don't look like they used to.

I think Ankles is wearing them to much

This week is when I have been in The Family Room for one year.
This is me in one of my favorite spots outside my cage.

Inside my cage is my favorite spot most of the time.

My my towel pile is here. Under the chair. These are my personal towels. I can never get them arranged right.

You can see my phone book. Ankles gave it to me. She says I might need to make a call. She forgot to give me a phone.

Today is also Ankles' birthday. When I came here, I was Smallest Ankles rabbit. He lost interest. Ankles took over. She says it was her secret wish. She says it was the only way to convince Hairy Ankles to have a rabbit. Now I am officially Ankles' Rabbit. Good deal. Except she is lousy at growing basil.

Sofa

I can get on and off the sofa by myself!

I didn't know it was so easy!

I got on, and then off.

On again, and off.

It was so exciting. I did binkies on the floor.

On again. There was a blanket up there. I rearranged it. I mistook Ankles for the blanket and bit her. She didn't bleed.

I found out that rabbits can get lots of petting on the sofa.

New Things

Ankles went to Savers yesterday.
She always gets me good things at Savers.
This is for home dec. I love home dec.

The Evil Stepsister thought is was for her.
She almost never gets things from Savers.
The other Evil Stepsister was smart.
She did not even come over to see.



I also got these two books.
Ankles says they are about rabbits.
She says she will read them to me......

when she has time....................





after Christmas.....................






if I don't chew them up.................

First Grass of Winter

The first grass of the season is comming up.
This whole warren has come out of the burrow.
They are going to eat the new grass and have ball shaped poops.
Click on the picture for the McGoo View.

Very sad about the ears.
So small.
The ears tell you about these poor eaters.
It tells that their feet are not good for digging.
They cannot dig burrows big enough for normal size ears to fit.

I wonder if they can hear anything.
I hope they are good at subtitiles.

Ambience

Yesterday, Ankles made me new cage mats.
The mats are good because my cage floor is too slippery. It's a good cage otherwise. It's very homey. I like to rest in here more than under the chair.

Ankles peels the corrugated so it is comfy and not slippery.

Hairy Ankles asked
"Why does she need new ones?"


She replied
"Too much ambience."

That is OK with me. I have more.

Entre-bun-eur

Ankles says I should go into business for myself.

I have been very busy removing holes at home. My excision technique is rapid and undetectable.

She suggests the slogan "Big and small, we do them all!"

I want to stress "Precision equipment calibrated daily."

and "No hidden retooling fees."

Dignity Goes Poof

This is one of my Evil Stepsisters. This is the evil one. She likes to pretend I am invisible. This makes her fun.

Yesterday was loads of fun! She was sitting in the middle of the room. She was pretending our home was devoid of rabbits.

I snuck up behind her. I sniffed her. Nothing.

I ran past her. I ran past again. Nothing.

I sniffed her knees. She stared into space. Then......

I ran between her front legs and head butted her hairy stomach!

She went straight up in the air!

I ran into my corner. I did many circle binkys. Then I had to re-arrange my laundry.

camo bun

Can you see me?

I am in my sling.

I like it here.

It feels like I am deep in the ground.

It is like being surrounded by other rabbits.

I can relax in my sling.

Rabbits don't like Halloween

Ankles went to Osh for me. She's nice.

She says there is a good reason why witches don't like rabbits.

I say there is a good reason why rabbits don't like witches. They won't share their toys.

Our revenge? No witches allowed at Easter! We are keeping ALL the baskets for ourselves. Even the wicker ones.

Celery

Yesterday I had some celery. It was satisfyingly crunchy. I hope to have more.

Then I chewed something.

"Silver, did you chew this?"

I said: "I like celery."

Binky On!

I admit it. I was having a hard time believing. Ankles collected some binkies by other herbivores. Now I am convinced.
Binky on!~

Herbivore Rex

This is my number two Sticky Buns try-out.


The first one was not good.

I got a sticker of me. I would not go out. I sent Ankles to do it.

She put Sticker Me on the giant herbivore. I have smelled this herbivore on her. The smell does not say anything about size. Holy Fotis!*

Ankles says we two are the same.

I have big eyes set for 360 degree watching. So does he.

I have big swivel ears. So does he.

I binky for play. So does he.

We eat the same kind of hay. We have functional cecums. We have ball shaped poop.


*Fotis--God of Herbivores

Sticky Buns

I want to win the Sticky Bunscontest.
I can't make a sticker of me.
Ankles says the printer is out of ink.
I have to use myself.
Now I see spots.

"Silver the Lion Head Rabbit"

old mat, new mat

Ankles gave me this basket for chewing.
I didn't chew it.
I sat on it.
It was a good cage mat.
It was the size for meatloaf sitting.

Then I chewed it.
I stopped sitting in it.
Ankles was going to make me a new cage mat.
Then I sat on it.
She didn't make a mat.

So I chewed it more.
I also stopped sitting on it.

I need a cage mat.
My cage floor is slippery.
It is hard to meatlaof on.

Ankles made me a new mat yesterday.
It is peeled corrugated.
Very good for sitting.
Also for chewing.

The Evil StepSisters might want this basket for chewing.

My Thoughts

The BunSlinger

I got this new sling.

It was a different smell from the old one.


I panicked.

Then I was fine.

Ankles got it custom made for rabbits from BabyinaFishBowl

What?

What have I been doing lately?

Silly question!

Shelter Rabbits

Grazing Post

This is my sisal grazing post. The Evil Stepsisters keep it groomed for me. Maybe they are not really evil? They LOOK evil.

Lagomorph Bagomorph

Lagomorph is science for Rabbit. Science is stupid.
Today, this rabbit was in a bag. Ankles saw a rabbit in a sling. It was in a movie. A movie about autistic people. That means it had a lot of good ideas in it. Like rabbits in slings.

Today, I had to go in a sling. I didn't want to go in it. I became hysterical. Rabbits are good at hysterical.

I tried to get out. I tried the same thing over and over. I got bored.

Then it started to feel schmoozy.

Very schmoozy.

I stayed in.

I wouldn't come out.

Finally, there was banana. So I came out.

Basket Love

I have many baskets. They have short lives.

The best one is my cage mat. It keeps my feet from slipping on the floor. I never chewed my cage mat. Until Ankles went away for a week.

Then I chewed it. I could still sit on it.

Until I decided not to sit on it.

Last night Ankles said she would make me a corrugated mat. I decided to sit on my basket mat again.

Rabbits must work to remain mysterious.

BTW, I like my cage. Even if the door is open, I usually stay in.

My Broom

This was my broom.

It was a wonderful broom.



Then it got used up.
Ankles bought me a new one.

I am a busy rabbit.

Pine Cone

I have a new pine cone. The photo won't upload. Maybe later.

This pine cone in indestructable. Rabbits hate things that are indestructable.

Here is the photo.

backed up

Ankles finished her back up.

Whatever.

Now I have to do this again.

I've been busy. I'm a rabbit. We are always busy.

This is the shoe Ankles and I share. The shareing thing is working out.

Rabbit Scores!

Today I was a naughty bun. It was fun. I snuck up on an Evil Stepsister. She was pretending to ignore me. I snuck fast. I bit her tail. I jumped in the air. I ran away.

I think she' got it.

This morning I greeted Ankles with three half-binkies.

I think she understood the honor.

Caught!

Yesterday, one of the Evil Stepsisters tried to poop in the cactus. She got caught.

I am a good rabbit. I only poop in my litterbox.

Big Project

This is my project. It's very hard. This towel must come out. I just KNOW there is un-rabbit-proofed electrical cord behind the sofa!

("no, there's not")
Yes there is!

("No, there's not")

sssss!
Rabbit intuition is NEVER WRONG!

Better

Finally! Bananas a rabbit can eat!

Not a Good Day for Rabbits

Can you believe these?

Bananas like this are NOT food for rabbits!

Then, this morning, the laundry wasn't in a heap on the floor yet. It was still going around in the machines and making noise. I didn't even bother to come out this morning.

Danger!

Ankles made the danger sound this morning while she was preparing her breakfast. I wouldn't come out. After having my face rubbed for a long time and some teeth crunching, I felt better, so I came out.

boring plant

To show that I like petting, I squint my eyes and crunch my teeth. It works and I get more petting.

There used to be a better plant here, one with interesting and tasty leaves. To show that this new plant is boring, I pointedly ignore it in favor of more interesting things. This is to indicate that the plant should be replaced.

So far, it's not working.

Rabbits Go Here

I found a good hiding place.

laundry day

I love laundry day! Laundry should never be folded until after the rabbit plays in it! Hairy Ankles always puts it on the chair to keep it safe from me, but Ankles always puts it back on the floor.

yesterday at playtime

Yesterday at playtime I saw these out the window. It was very scary. I had to run and hide. An Evil Stepsister thought I was foolish.

Hello

Hi, I'm Silver Rabbit. Ankles got me reading other's blogs and told me I needed to have one of my own. I don't really want to. I'm trying to maintain a shy appearance in keeping with rabbit stereotypes. I think I get more bananas and cilantro that way. Ankles is almost as bossy as me!

I don't want to tell you about my past. My new life started in December when Ankles and her family brought me to their house from the Oakland Animal Shelter. Since my arrival in the family room I have struggled to establish a predictable routine. It has been a success.

I just convinced the Evil Stepsisters that I should be left alone. Then I convinced Smallest Ankles that cuddly rabbit was an oxymoron. I needed Ankles help to convince Hairy Ankles that he had to increase his tolerance for destruction and mess and that his things wouldn't be destroyed if I had enough other stuff that was more fun to shred.
