Day 126 - May 6, 2010

In case I haven't given the history of the bunnies, here's a quick background. Mac and Cheese are our two white bunnies with tannish splotches on them. We got them about 6 years ago as little babies, and they were litter mates. I couldn't decided on which one to keep when my friend Carolyn brought them over, so we kept both. Besides, the names wouldn't work without two! Anyways a few years later, a co-worker of mine told me of a little black bunny who had been left behind in a vacated apartment. Her son in law had found him 4 days later without food or water. We decided to bring him home and name him Pickles, because we couldn't think of a name that also went well with Mac and Cheese (foodwise...) and I really liked the name Pickles. Getting them all accustomed to each other was rough, but eventually Mac and Pickles worked it out. Cheese is stubborn however, so we are unable to let both Pickles and Cheese out at the same time. You can see Cheese in this picture trying to get to Pickles. Funny thing is, Pickles wants to be friends with Cheese so badly, but Cheese is a little ol' grouch. Regardless, Pickles likes to hang out with Cheese when he's out and about, even if Cheese tries to bite him all the time. They are all too cute - I just wish we could get Cheese and Pickles to get along! Oh well...

Until Tomorrow,

Day 79 - March 20, 2010

So today, a bunch of us girls who all went to school together decided to go out and celebrate all of us turning 30 this year. Today actually happened to be Daisy's birthday too (not Daisy dog, Daisy Bates). We made reservations to go to the Melting Pot - a fondue restaurant. We all hopped in Amanda's minivan and we headed down to Darien to have ourselves a good ol' time - and we definitely did! It was such a fun and unique experience! It seemed like there were quite a few people celebrating birthdays there today too! We had cheese fondues, salads, entrees, and dessert fondues. It was a wonderful evening with some great, great friends! Here's to our thirties!!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 71 - March 12, 2010

Many people think that bunnies aren't very smart - they eat food, they poop, they chew on things. Well Mac and Cheese (and Pickles to some extent) have learned that the crinkly sound of a potato chip bag means chippies! The bunnies could be out and about, doing their thing, when someone breaks out a bag of chips, and they're off to the races! They come running from everywhere to get some of the good stuff! There are times where I'll be sitting on the couch, and something crinkles, and all of a sudden I've got Mac launching himself at me for a chance to get some chips! They're pretty smart buggers, these bunnies!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 48 - February 17, 2010

So today I realized that I've posted pictures of Daisy, Cassie, Mac and Cheese, Eric, Ang, and other folks, but I have yet to post (or even photograph) little Pickles! I feel like a bad mommy! Anyways, Pickles was a rescue bunny that we weren't planning on, but once we met him, we couldn't turn him away. A former co-worker's son in law was cleaning out an apartment for new tenants about 4 days after they moved out, and they had left a little bunny behind - no food or water. My co-worker had asked me (since she knew we had bunnies) if I knew of anyone looking for a bunny. I didn't, but I told her we'd take him for the time being. Well we brought him home and he's been here ever since. Quite the character, Pickles is always good for a laugh or a fist bump. Glad he's with us for sure!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 13 - January 13, 2010

Mac (left) and Cheese (right) are two of the three bunnies we have. Pickles (the third) doesn't get along so much with Cheese, so letting them all out at once turns into a giant disaster. Once, we made that mistake, and Pickles and Cheese were tangled up in a fight with fur flying everywhere! We love our little boogers, even though they've chewed through multiple walls, many wires, and some of our furniture. Sure, it can be annoying, but how can you not love these cute little faces? July of 2010 will mark their 6th birthday (Mac and Cheese are litter mates) and we've had them for all but 8 weeks of their lives. They can be hard to photograph, but with a few treats and some coaxing, they become pros!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
