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 ... .

Aww, cutie tuxedo kitty! I love cats, but since I'm the one who ends up doing all the caretaking, one set of pets at a time is enough. I can always got play with my friend K's tabby cat Josie (she also has a black cat, Abike a/k/a Abby, but the kids call Abby The Invisible Cat because she hides so much ... the only time I ever see her is when she's sacked out atop the 6-foot-tall cat tree).

(And I love dogs too, but having dogs is like having children - they are so dependent on you ... .)

Well, I love dogs ... I mean, I sometimes say that I am a dog person in a world of cats, because I am like that - sentimental, very sensitive to my companions' feelings, heart on my sleeve, hate to be sneaky or deceiving (and it's also my Oriental zodiac sign). But for that very reason, I feel that I don't have time for one right now - the amount of time we're away from the house all day would be very hard on a dog.

I'd be a fairly quiet sort of dog, not the bouncy, barky kind ... .
