Bunday Banana Business

Today's post is all about bananas.  All of you bunnies and bunny lovers should know how much most of us adore bananas.  They are a very special delicacy.  The hoomin beans say that we should not eat very much of them because they are high in sugar, so if you are a hoomin bean and you are going to give banana to your bunny overlords and ladies, then do not give too much!

When the male hoomin bean (MHB) decides to have a banana, sometimes he sits on the couch in the home office, to chat with the FHB.  We can smell banana a mile away, so we know immediately when he brings one for us to share.  We rush to help him out with eating the banana.  Here you can see that I am very active in assisting with peeling the banana.  Naturally, this is my job, since I must carefully inspect the banana.

Hoomin beans are fussy and only eat the inside part of the banana.  We eat the peels, and the inside bits, and all the bits we can get into our mouths.  The MHB likes to feed us the "strings" as he calls them, that come from the layer between the banana and the peel. Here is Épinette Nutkin having a banana string.

I will stand on my hind legs to amuse the HBs and therefore obtain more banana strings.

The hoomin beans say that this is a very cute habit!

We are both very helpful with the peeling and the eating functions.

 Sometimes, the MHB has to hold the banana up in the air so we don't steal it from him (and believe me, we would steal it if we could!)

The best approach to this problem is to climb the hoomin bean to get to the banana.

We are both good climbers, but we aren't always successful....that crafty MHB just switches hands!

In summary, we both advocate for all hoomin beans sharing their bananas with bunnies.

The female hoomin bean (FHB) was away this weekend - seriously, almost all of it.  She was at someplace called a fibre retreat and she took the wheel thing and the yarn things and the sticks for playing with yarn and she just left, without me, and didn't come back for two and a half days.  I do NOT approve of this sort of thing.  Of course, the male hoomin bean (MHB) fed me and took care of me and gave me proper attention, but it is the duty of the FHB to wait upon my needs at all times, and I did not give her any authorization to go away for any length of time.  I swear, I get no respect around here.

Fortunately, the MHB eats a lot of bananas, and that is a very good thing, because I am a big fan of all parts of the banana.  When the MHB eats his banana, I invariably get treats, which is as it should be.  He does have the bad habit of making me stand up for my banana treats, and really I should get them when I'm lying down, because I deserve to be waited upon, but I get so excited about the banana that I can't help it.

I am also very helpful with the FHB when she has crackers and cheese, or toast, and she leaves crumbs on her plate.  I assist with the washing up, by ensuring that there are no remaining crumbs.

For some reason, she has called me "over anxious" about getting to the crumbs.  I am not over anxious.  I am dedicated.

Of course, with the FHB away, and the MHB being my main source of interaction, I had to seek out back-up sources.  This means....yes, that silly looking furball in the picture below (no, I'm not talking about the wooden duck), was the target of my affections this weekend.  I'm sure glad that the FHB is home again, because Mitten was not my idea of a good companion.

Next weekend things should be back to normal, thank goodness.  Disruptions in my routine are definitely not welcome.  I almost forgot to keep my ears clean.  I hope you haven't forgotten...
