Made for Lisa

Our friend Lisa needed some love, so I sent her Bijou.

And it looks like she made it to Arizona dandily! And she matches... that's so lucky!

Here is her story: "Bijou has a habit of collecting smooth, happy river rocks. When she wanders off she always returns with her pockets heavy with little grey treasures. What exactly it is that she does with these rocks once they’ve been collect is a mystery. Her eyes get a little glossy when you ask her and she simply replies “Ohhhhh this and that, more that than this, but never too much of that.” This dreamy bunny wants to waft around your house behind you, quietly humming and ready to snuggle. All she really wants is to curl up in the crook of your arm while you go about your day and rest her fuzzy head on your shoulder at night."

New Bun Buns

I finally went to the feed store down the road to get Monty some hay. I used to go to this feed store with mummy when I was little to get hay, look at all the baby chicks in the backroom and even MORE specifically to coo over the bunnies in the very back room. Now, I love bunnies I really do. But there are so few times when I actually see any, other than Mr. Monty-pants, and when I can find them in groups of more than ten I get absolutely giddy. Burns feed store is one of those places. I'd more or less assumed that Burns had stopped carrying rabbits. Not from any sort of proof or anything, I'd just used my child-logic that once I stopped going there, the bunnies wouldn't be there either. After all, bunnies are only there to be cute for me, right? When I stopped in yesterday I slowly walked back there and opened both sets of doors, dreading the idea that there would be no bunnies and all those cages would be empty and lonely. Instead there were about ten bunnies of different sizes and friendliness. I'm still a little dreamy-eyed about that. I picked a couple out and held them for a while. Most of them were Rex bunnies which means they were obscenely soft, they made Monty feel like a bristle brush.

I got a little misty, took some deep breaths and went back to the front to buy my hay. Now I know where I can get my fix and when those sad days happen to pop up, I know where I can fix them!

Speaking of bunnies and cute things, here are some of my own.

Go and see their stories as well as the other little goodies hiding in there lately.

Monty Wants Some Friends

Monty want... no, wait, Hannah want. No, Monty want. Aw heck, it's all the same in the end. And it looks like at the end, he'll end up with just that many more little friends!

Hey, YOU.

I know you like all these pictures of Monty that I put up periodically and when Star sent me this ad I did a little bit of internal melting, in my heart region.

Mommy and dad say "NO no no!" to this newest mammalian intrigue so I'm calling on all of you who read this. Do you have a little extra room in your heart and house for this little guy for... oh.... 8 more years? PLEASE!? Sigh...

If I Could Make a Movie That's All Mine...

"Monty, we need to have a talk. Is this why you were wandering around in a warehouse when Jessie found you? Oh, that's a naughty bunny... a naughty KILLER bunny!"

I found this trailer online for NIGHT OF THE LEPUS and I thought it was just a funny way of saying leopards, like "I'm gonna catch me some lepus" in a southern bayou accent. Like alligatuhs. Anyway, it's TOTALLY NOT! It's about mutant rabbits that attack people, instilling fear of rabbits in the quaint people-of-1970's-America.

Lepus = hare = rabbit = bun bun.

This is netflix's description of the movie: "Fed up with the bunnies hopping across their land, a group of ranchers (including Janet Leigh and DeForest Kelley) attempts to stunt the rabbits' growth with the aid of a cooked-up hormone. But instead of shrinking the bunny population, it only makes the animals larger -- 150 pounds larger, to be exact -- with a newfound appetite for human flesh. Are the ranchers any match for the rabid rabbits' reproductive skills?"

I don't think it's necessary to say that this movie is already in my netflix queue at the tippy top.

Ok, wait, I found more clips.

I'm actually in tears after this one, it's THAT good! I think I'm in love...

I especially like the effect of lower a rabbit down on top of the camera. After all, these are supposed to be the size of a house!
