“Girl, don't do it, it's not worth it.”

“I'm not gonna do it girl, I was just thinking about it, I'm not gonna do it.... “

“…”

“I did it.”

Titan likes to get reeeeallll close Emet, and point blank stare at his face.

He is either trying to solicit licks, or to weird Em out enough that he leaves. Titan doesn’t care which, as long as it is one of them. He doesn’t care how long it takes, he is patient. He will wait.

Can I diffuse this situation, you ask? Indeed. How? By putting my feet on Titan’s head (he loves it).

In summary, I must rest my bare feet on my rabbit’s head so that he stops psychologically torturing my cat. There’s a sentence 20 years ago me would have had to take a moment with! 🤣

Life is weird, and 😅

“Hi.”

“Hey..”

“Sooo.. did she tell you I have treasure? Like a whole thing of treasure?”

“No..”

“Well, I do. And I have a hay box, and couches like you would not believe. You should come live out there with me. It’s the front of the whole place. I live there ‘cause I’m a king. You could come be Queen?”

“I’ll.. consider it.”

“Ok cool. Well, she’s coming and I’m about to get shoo’ed, but.. Can I come back later? I like your spots. And your ears. And how.. round.. your um.. nevermind. I could tell you all kinds of stories. I am -worldly-.”

“Heh.. sure. You can come back later. For stories.”

“OK SWEET BYE.”

Floppy has been digging in the morning for basically forever. It’s just how he does mornings. Where, and upon what, he digs, varies. Lately it’s in the fish; halfway into the fish, if I’m being precise. I think he likes the slidey material inside, but the traction of having his badonk outside. The hilarious part is that this means he digs it toward himself.. but then it’s too close, so he backs his truck up a hop. Then digs, then backs up. Then digs more, and backs up more, etc, etc.

If your day doesn’t start by watching a big blue fish, with a lop sticking out of its mouth, wobble insanely from one end of the room to the other.. I don’t know what to tell you other than this: you’re missing out. 😂

Emet is really good at not bapping the rabbits.

Really good, but not perfect.

(No Titans were injured, scared, or even more than slightly annoyed by the aforementioned bappening.)

Heartbroken for Bernie’s family. He was such a little light in the world, and he got to live a life that so many bunnies don’t— one in which he was loved, immaculately cared for, and treated like the family member he was and will always be. His page was an example of all that life with rabbits can and should be.. I’m so glad his mama will be continuing on with his bondmate, Charmin.

I can only imagine the beautiful welcome he received on the other side, surrounded by the glorious herd of our beloved ones, who have gone ahead of us.

Hi friends, Bernie’s person here. I’m devastated to tell you that our sweet, gentle boy is gone. It happened one week ago and I’ve been grieving and trying to gather the strength to break the news to you all.

Bernie had two very recent episodes in which his breathing became labored, and one was when we arrived at the vet for his annual exam and X-rays. The vet found that his lungs were shriveled and surrounded by fluid, likely due to congestive heart failure or cancer. His condition was terminal. And arthritis stole his mobility after he turned 12 last summer, causing him to decline so much. She said he could die at any time.

To prevent a traumatic death for him in the coming weeks or months, she recommended euthanasia that day. I trust this vet, who is the top rabbit specialist in the area.

And so, at the age of 13, Bernie was put to sleep peacefully with Charmin, me and Matthew at his side while eating yummy treats as I kissed and petted him and sang him his song, while my tears fell on his soft fur. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.💔

I was blessed to live with such a loving and extraordinary being for almost a decade. For many years, it was just the two of us in a remote mountain cabin, where he spent most of his time on the couch. He was my best friend. I miss his kisses, purrs and smiles, which helped me through some hard times. Bernie will live on in all of us who loved him, including his bunwife Charmin, who will inherit his page.

This photo was taken when we met in March 2016 at the home rabbit rescue of his lifelong benefactor, Debby, to whom I’ll always be deeply grateful.

Bernie touched countless lives and spread so much bunny love the last 9 years on Facebook. Thank you for sharing my love and appreciation for this little angel. I know many of you are grieving with me.

Rest in peace, sweet Bernie. We’ll love you forever!

As requested, an Ivy Iverson update! She is incredibly fluffy, and her favorite way to sit is “at the bar”, with her little front feet propped up on something. Right now, she and Mystery switch who is in the penned area daily (the room is basically in half) so she was in, here.. but I’ll try to get some more pics when she’s out!

I love how Titan shows up, and she looks directly at me. 😆

“There’s a -boy- at the door! Should I talk to him?”

So, I have a little fish tank with six fish, three shrimp, and one snail.

Well, I caught one of the shrimp riding the snail, and I felt like you all needed to know about it.

Please enjoy the antics of Shrimp and Snail of Steel.
