A Frivolous Post: Funny Bunny

[chomiji]

My little girl bunny, Brownie, gave me a good laugh last night. They each get a pineapple-papaya enzyme tablet with their night-time feed of rabbit chow and mixed greens. It's really a dietary supplement - it's supposed to help prevent hairball problems in their guts - but for Brownie, it's crack: the minute she smells it, she has to have it.

So I had dropped a tablet into each bowl as usual, but Brown couldn't find hers. She was getting really agitated - she could obviously smell it, but couldn't get hold of it. She pulled just about all her greens out and threw them on the floor, and chomped on them a couple of times in a very aggravated, angry manner, but didn't eat any. Finally she started casting about her dish a little more widely, and I figured out the problem:

She had been sitting on it.

It must have bounced off the edge of the bowl and between her front feet ... anyway, she did finally find it and munch it up, and was content again. Silly wabbit ... .

Oops - that was me.

I thought it might be you ...   :-D

That's her in the icon (and her foster brother, Marshmallow) ... she's meant to be "tortoiseshell" in coloring, and when she was younger, you could sometimes see a bit of the pattern, but her fur has lightened and lost contrast as she's become older. She has points like a Siamese cat, to some extent - but a paler belly.

They're just adorable. And she's a pretty little baby. You should post more piccys of them as you find the time.

I need to get myself a digital camera! Given what I do for a living (web stuff, including some graphics) it's ridiculous that I don't have one, but I don't ... I'm going to be picky about which one I want, and I haven't had time to shop for one. Taking pix of animals is so hit-or-miss that I waste a lot of film if I do it with my existing camera.
