Thousands of Years Ago

What happened thousands of years ago? Well, lots of stuff, that's for sure. But, what happened that concerns us just now?

BUNNY FACT: The first recorded incident of contact between rabbits and humans was over 3000 years ago! The Phoenicians declared the Iberian Peninsula, "The Land of the Rabbit."

And from that, our relationship budded and blossomed! There are now millions of bunny owners around the world. Are you one of them? With many average families living in apartments or small houses, the popularity of rabbits is on the rise. Some landlords are more lenient with small animals like rabbits or hamsters, then they are with dogs and cats.

BUNNY WIDSOM: Try something new! If humans hadn't reached out for bunny contact many years ago, we might not be such friends. Wild rabbits are naturally very wary of larger animals or people, so humans had to take the first steps.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Another Monday

I'll bet everybunny reading this post loves Mondays!

Everybody probably doesn't. Bunnies tend not to care which day it is :)

BUNNY FACT: A male rabbit is called a buck. A female is a doe. A baby bunny can be called a "kit."

I guess that means when I was younger I was a buckkit! Get it? Like bucket? LOL. Not that it was that funny... oh well.

BUNNY WISDOM: Humor is a salt of life. Even when a joke isn't very funny, it can be kind of funny that someone else thought it was. It's been said that you don't stop laughing because you got old, you get old because you've stopped laughing (Daffid, Braingle member).

Even though rabbits don't really laugh per se, you know they like funny stuff.

XX (Twenty)

This is the twentieth post of My Bunny Life. I hope you're enjoying it... I am!

BUNNY FACT: Can you guess how many toenails a bunny has? No counting! It's not twenty. It's 18 - with 5 on each front paw and 4 on each back paw.

Honestly, I hadn't even noticed that before. Although I'm somewhat familiar with my back paws (I wash them often), I never took the thought of counting my toenails. Kudos to anyone who already knew their bunny well enough to know that :)

BUNNY WISDOM: It's nice to have lots of knowledge stored away in our heads, isn't it? There may come a day when a quirky tidbit of wisdom saves our skins. But, someone who knows loads shouldn't look down on someone else who doesn't yet have the knowledge they do.

That's all for today. See you tomorrow!

Piece Of Cake!

Well, finding a free clip-art picture of cake wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be, but I got one...

Right now I feel as if life is just a "piece of cake." I'm well over the slipper incident. All the normal stuff I'm supposed to do is pretty easy. At times I think I'd like to start something big... but then I decide I want another nap!

Like... now! But first I'll give you your "bunny fact & wisdom" :)

BUNNY FACT: Did you know that rabbits cannot throw-up like many other animals can? They can "gag" a bit, but care should be taken so they don't get hairball buildup.

BUNNY WISDOM: Take an optimistic approach to life. I think optimists live longer... ?

Hopping Down The Bunny Trail

As I was searching online for a picture of an actual rabbit trail, I came across was at this website. At first I thought that couldn't all be rabbit tracks! Upon closer inspection I noticed it was. Apparently, that area is overrun with wild cottontails.

I haven't been outside lately, due to the cold and wind. I would like to, but I'm not allowed. So, I only get to look out windows and at pictures online.

Yesterday we found out what a bunch of rabbits are called, today, let's see what their habitat can be named...

BUNNY FACT: A herd of bunnies may live in a "warren." Warrens are usually underground, containing various connected tunnels. Sounds like a playground to me :-)

BUNNY WISDOM: While the wild rabbits living in warrens may have survival at the top of their to-do list, they still have a good time! That I'm sure of. It's part of a bunny's nature. Let the everyday stuff become fun - you'll be in a better mood.

Eating Slippers

Has anyone ever tasted the pink kind? They're my new favorite! Perhaps I shouldn't be so happy about it... at least I didn't totally destroy them. Sort of just nibbled them a bit.

BUNNY FACT: A group of rabbits can be called a "herd." Used in a sentence: A herd of pink-slipper-eating bunnies came running up to me. LOL

It's a good thing I'm so cute or I'd have to stay on my best behavior. I guess I ought to anyway, but it's hard!

BUNNY WISDOM: Never underestimate someone. We all have potential to do good or bad, as can be concluded by my recent admission.

Sighing off.

In Sickness... And Pictures!

My friend hasn't been feeling well lately. I've been busy helping to "take care" of her, so please excuse my lack of posting lately. She's feeling better today, though, and here are some promised pictures :-)

As you can see, this is me enjoying the family piano. I can't remember what I was playing, but I know I had some fun after I got the hang of it. You humans must only get half the enjoyment, since you only use half the limbs!

And, as you can see in my other pic for today, I like to get a good view...

BUNNY FACT: A bunny's house needs "bunny-proofed." Failure to do that could cause damage to your bunny or your house (or both!). I was allowed on the ledge with the houseplant just for a few moments and my friend was right there with me.

BUNNY WISDOM: Be expressive! We bunny-rabbits sure are. Just watch us!

As I mentioned, the infrequent posting should be a rare thing. I will do my best to be back to posting daily unless something else would come up. Thanks for staying with me!
