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 124 - May 4, 2010



Boy do we go through a lot of this stuff in our household! We order timothy hay all the time for the bunnies. I feel bad for the UPS guy who has to deliver the 40 pound boxes to our door step. Bunnies have to have a source of food constantly to keep their digestive systems healthy. They have to have hay available at all times, and so we practically clear out the Midwest (or wherever this hay is grown) on a monthly basis with all the hay we order. Be forewarned! If you're allergic to hay...probably not best to be coming over to our neck of the woods!

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,
