New Friends

House Rabbit. Two magic words. Wherever you are just whisper them and somebody will dash over to chat. Did you say you have a house rabbit? So have I. And off we go. New friends made immediately.
I haven't met my latest lot yet but their names are Rachel and Ian. Would you believe more Canadians? Then there's Lionel, a white baby lop who is just a few weeks old. J saw a photograph of him on a mobile phone. He is an expert binkier already. Of course his human is very proud of him. I'm hoping to hear from him when he learns to write.
I don't expect he knows how to make his bed yet so that's going to be my video this time. Don't let them fob you off with hay, Lionel. Ask for some small dozing mats and a nice bright red towel to show up your white coat. Towels are good to toss around, they're easy to get into the right position for a head rest and they can be popped in the washing machine where you can watch them swish around.
They seem to be cutting down on my tea these days. All I had yesterday was a bit of parsley, a sprig of mint, a few snippets of carrot, two measley slices of banana and half a dozen sprout leaves. Oh and one dandelion leaf. I could have eaten three times as much. I think it's a plot to make me eat more hay.
Your tea was more than enough, Harve. We don't want a fat rabbit who can't reach to clean those important places although you still dash around the house like a two year old which is very good excercise.

A New Hobby

If you have been wondering where I am I have lost my diary. It's usually beside my basket or under my big table so I can jot down notes and keep an eye on those little irritations I need to deal with, but I can't find it anywhere. Somebody has been in an extra tidying mood and interfered with my stuff.

Anyway I had to think up a new way of keeping everybody in touch with my goings on and had a brilliant idea! You'll never guess!! I've taken up film making. Harvey B Rabbit Productions! My lot think the initials, HB, sound too much like a pencil but I think it is quite impressive. Harvey Bunny Rabbit Esq. H B Rabbit CM, BSC (carrot muncher and beetroot stick cruncher). Yes, Lennie, they have eventually found beetroot sticks! I'll need help to put the videos on my blog so you can see for yourself how I spend my time instead of just reading about it. How I speed eat my herb salad. How I make my beds. How I entertain guests from behind my curtain burrow. There's a lot to being a house rabbit especially when you have free range like I do.

Mind you I haven't been allowed upstairs because the Canadian cousins have been staying again. Last time I sort of, well, peed in the corner of the bedroom they were sleeping in. It was my bedroom they were using and it was the only way I could think of to explain. The Norman always wears white socks so I decided to follow them around because they are much easier to see than the dark ones my lot wear. I think he was quite flattered.

OK. Here we go ..... Note the expert toss of the baby carrot for speed munching with my front teeth. See the way I keep my head in position so no-one else can share my stuff. There's more to this than meets the eye, it's not something to undertake casually.
