Bunday Blog Business

Well, today is quite exciting.  I am bringing you my report from the great outdoors!



The Lady Épinette Nutkin and I are enjoying some time in the sun!  The female hoomin bean (FHB) set up the exercise pen for us outside in the yard.  We are helping her by mowing the lawn.  Do not worry about us - she is monitoring us and there is netting over the top of the pen, so the hawks will not decide that we look tasty.


The FHB even picked some extra dandelions for us and we are snacking on those.


She gave us a water dish because it is warm and sunny, and we might get thirsty.  She also gave us a box for some shade, or to hide in if we get scared.


My recommendation is that all you buns reading the blog should encourage your hoomin bean to get you an exercise pen so you can go out in the sunshine too.  The air is full of interesting smells and the grass is really soft under your feet, and you can eat the dandelions and grass and feel like you are on a holiday.  Don't go on the grass if your hoomin bean sprays it with nasty chemicals.  Our hoomin beans do not spray at all, and they think that is best, so we don't have to worry about that problem here.

Sometimes we hear the goat - her name is Lucky Nickel.  She is always complaining about something.  Right now, her fleece is coming off.  The FHB didn't have time to shear her yet, and it's still cold at night.  The FHB says that Lucky Nickel looks like the wreck of the Hesperus.  We don't know anything about the Hesperus, but she is a funny looking goat.  We think she is interesting, but we are keeping our distance.

Have a dandelion-filled week!

Bunday on Tuesday

This is most irregular!  Bunday posts should be done on Bunday.  The female hoomin bean (FHB) was away for the weekend.  She was visiting her parents.  We have decided that this is an acceptable reason for not providing us the means to publish our usual Bunday post.  Naturally, we were very busy all weekend because we had to supervise the male hoomin bean (MHB), since the FHB was not here to do it.

We also have been enjoying our new expanded shared area in the home office.  The FHB found out by doing some online research that bunnies who are recently bonded can't be given too much space too soon.  Sometimes I forget who Épinette Nutkin is, and I chase her, sort of by mistake.  The FHB learned that if she expands our area gradually, this is less likely to occur.

She went and bought a dog exercise pen. I know what you're thinking....doesn't the FHB know the difference between dogs and rabbits?  Some days I wonder.  But actually, it works rather well.  It is made of multiple folding panels that can be adjusted so she set it up to go in front of our shared crate.

Most of the time, now, I remember about Épinette Nutkin and I don't chase her.

The FHB says that when the grass starts to grow properly (it's still only just starting to grow here), she will take the exercise pen outside and let us play in the grass (supervised, of course).  She says she will put some netting over the top of the pen to make sure the hawks don't decide that we are breakfast.  Imagine!

Eventually, the FHB says we won't need the dog exercise pen anymore and she can let us run around all over the place like I used to run around before Épinette Nutkin came along.

In the meantime, we continue to snuggle together and cement our bond.  And keep each other's ears clean.
