I did not do it! It wasn't me and if it was I wasn't there. Somebody spilled my alfalfa all over the carpet and I got the blame as usual.
There's only one thing a rabbit can do in such circumstances and that is, turn his back. If you don't want to be talked to, turn your back. If they try to blame you for something, turn your back. If you want to object to anything at all, turn your back. It might seem a bit rude at first but it's the only solution if you can't make the sounds a human makes. Back turning is an art because once you have done it you have to stick to your guns. If you give way, if they wave a piece of carrot under your nose and you turn towards it you are lost.
Then there were the grumbles while I was roootling around in my litter tray this morning. Must you make such a racket, Harvey, we're trying to listen to the weather forecast they said. For goodness sake, can't they look out of the window at the weather? Digging a reasonable space in my litter is what I do best and it takes time. Anyway, I like the noise and it keeps me in training for scrape making in the garden and it's the only way to get into exactly the right position every time for...you know what. I need to make sure I hit the right spot . It's my ritual and bunnies need rituals.

Well Harve,
Mess? Mess? .. You should see my den.
And know what you mean about the back trick - I try but they squiggle my fur and I quite like it so my snubbing message gets a bit lost. Though they do understand Grunts and Growls Grissley Bear, Snake and Jaws impersonations.
My special place is wedged in with a brick as I have a tendency to throw anything that isn't "fixed"
I am practising for theBunny Olympics
Must dash to move more furniture around.
Love Lennie
