"How about RG's homemade apple pie from home grown apples? OK - the crust is from the Pillsbury box, but still ... BL had TWO pieces!" - Culinary RG "What an awful thing to do to perfectly good apples." - Zoey the Unimpressed

RESTAURANT CRITICS ...

HERE'S GOLDIE!

2012-01-26T19:42:00.000-08:00

"That is snow out there RG. I wanna come in." - Chilly Goldie "Picture was taken during the last snow - Goldie et.al. out for a deck spin while their condos being cleaned. It wasn't animal abuse. Goldie is pretty matted and tangled and we are clipping and defelting and she looks pretty bad. I don't think she likes that either!" - RG the verbose

BL HAS SOME 'SPLANIN' TO DO

2012-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:00

"This came in the mail yesterday - to BL! Wow. The #1 cigar will cost you $10.00 and change. A half-decent one is $5. She has no explanation, excuse, or recollection. I wonder if we have a subscription?" - RG the perplexed"Our poor deceased Baxter was the cigar and good whiskey type. I prefer a good carrot." - Lucky

"WE HAVE CO-HABITATION! ....

2012-01-24T19:13:00.000-08:00

.... Zoey has never been interested in going in the box, but Chico spends hours in there. Peeked over the edge this evening ... Zoey? Zoey? ... Well, wadda ya know?" - RG the ecstatic "KB! KB! - Come see!"

"Why?" - KB the aloof

"Say, listen all of you out there making fun of my style of refrigerator door decor - have you looked at the layout of your Google Members yet? Hmmm? How about your Facebook friends and Likes??? Hmmmm?" - RG the Exonerated!

(By the way, my bad - sorry. The wonderful framed dragon yesterday is from The QiPapers and the ultra-talented Diana Moll and you better scoot over there and get yourself one, toot sweet. Please?)

MRWARRRRRRRRR ...............

2012-01-23T19:26:00.000-08:00

"It's the year of the dragon and there be dragons here. A real one and this dandy picture! Dragons rock!" - RG the Dragon"While I am on the subject of who is in charge here, many of you have seen the picture of our refrigerator door. Go over to Leeks if you haven't, but do come back. Now, below is what MY door would look like, if I was in charge. Perhaps you can better appreciate the uh, er, difficulties, here from time to time." - RG the Neat.
Next, at your own peril, try out this website to analyze blogs and websites for which gender the voice is!! Go ahead, but we already have done all of you - BaWaHaHaHahahaha ... (ooops. Sorry.)

"Gender, schmender - we are NOT talking to either one of you since you washed our butts and made them soggy. A pox on you both." - Zoey and Chico, the Cute

GO AWAY ALREADY!

2012-01-18T19:21:00.000-08:00

"Getting It!""Having It!"
"Had It!"
"Three times is Enough!"
"Even once is too much for me, RG. I'm not going - anywhere." - The Reluctant Princess

ALMOST GOT IT!

2012-01-17T19:36:00.000-08:00

"Things are progressing just swimmingly with the new couple. They get along fine and spend enough of this sort of "together" time and much time of independence - usually one in the box and one out. They even - more or less - respect each other's food dishes. Not much outdoor time - we are in the midst of our annual snow event and it is cold! We are mighty pleased with results!" - RG the, well, the pleased! "Now, what's with this 100 Followers thing? Who are you people and what do you want? Have you any idea where we are going? It's a Blog, not a Cult! How about sending money!" - RG the Mystified

"ARCHIMEDES' WIFE ....

2012-01-16T19:39:00.000-08:00

HOW SWEET IT IS!

2012-01-15T20:21:00.000-08:00

For Zoey and Chico

When her darling Baxter left
to go across the Rainbow Bridge
Zoey felt so sad and all bereft.

But soon she saw through her cage wire
another bunny she could admire
and he was a lionhead just like her!

She loved his big brown eyes and handsome mane
his sturdy helpful nature and his Spanish sounding name.

Chico, just like all the rest,
could not help but fall for Zoey's charms -
of all the bunnies she was the best!

Soon the humans, seeing what was going on,
decided they would try to bond
these two lively bunnies.

Now here they are, the loving couple -
Zoey wearing a bridal veil of lace
as they explore their new shared living space.

So here's to the future for Zoey and Chico -
long may they binky and snuggle together -
whatever the weather!

Thank you Juliet Wilson aka Crafty Green Poet for the perfect words.

BUNN-E-VISION ....

TALKIN' POLITICS HERE

2012-01-12T19:40:00.000-08:00

"Say there Boyz. Are you Republicans or are you Democrats?" - RG "What's the difference, RG?" "Well Winnie, Republicans work hard and keep what they get for themselves, mostly." "Sounds pretty good to me, I'm a pretty hard worker. What about you Clucker?" "I dunno yet. Tell me about a Democrat RG." "OK Lucky. A Democrat collects a little bit from everybody and then gives lots of it back to whoever might need it." "So poor bunnies like us with no skills and lousy thumbs could score treats pretty good from Democrats, eh?" "I suspect so Lucky, yes, I suspect so."

"YOU GO BARACK!"

"TRY TO SMILE .....

2012-01-11T19:47:00.000-08:00

YOU ARE ALL SO KIND ....

2012-01-10T20:09:00.001-08:00

"Everyone here at the House of Rabbits thanks you all for your many kind words, thoughts, and actions. It is a bit lonely and a bit sad but we will be OK and get on. We must. I insist." - Racer the Bright, the Light, the Right and a word from BL - "We are so grateful for this caring family of bunny lovers we have been so lucky to find over the years. Only you know how it feels to lose one of these precious little spirits, and your words (and actions) touch our hearts. We have both read every single word more than once, and they help us deal with this more than you can imagine. Thank you. Truly. (You can read my last words about dear Savannah HERE.)" - BL

SAVANNAH HAS DIED ....

2012-01-08T12:10:00.000-08:00

Our special, special lady died Saturday evening, January 7. She was 9 years old.

She was clearly failing a very few days prior and we did all we could to keep her comfortable and just loved her and loved her .... and now we miss her so much.
This is the first picture we have of Savannah. We got her in the Spring of 2004. She was pregnant and was going to the Shoofly Farm summer camp to have babies as part of the kids experience there. She came back and graced our lives here ever since.

"I THINK, GOLDIE ....

I am switching from cheap, crapo decaf coffee to expensive, delicious decaf coffee. I bought some Colombian Beans and ground them fresh! I start tomorrow!" "He's nuts Lucky." "But he's OUR nut Winston. We're stuck with him." "Lucky Us." "Ya think?"

"I CAN'T DECIDE ...

2012-01-02T20:05:00.000-08:00

This is Lucky and our turkey in 2007.

This year we are having one of those organic, all-natural, happy-lived, free-range, grass-fed, pampered, local-grown turkeys - we call him Gandhi. I suspect you will read more about this experiment. Gandhi was expensive. Gandhi better be good.

Little Sweeties

WATCH BUNNS

2011-11-03T19:56:00.000-07:00

"Anybody remember a little black bird - the "Watch Bird" - in an old Lady's magazine many years ago? Little bugger reported on all of a kid's mis-doings. The theory was it made you behave better. (Just made me be sure not to get caught.") "These fellows here? They don't report, they just remember!" - RG, the Watched.

THE PRINCESS

2011-11-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

She can move fast!

"I GOT YUR BACK, WINSTON.

"I got yur's too, Clucker." "What's that mean Winnie?" "It means, well, ah, er ... hmmm. What the heck DOES it mean?" "Maybe it means we are like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Winnie. I can be Sundance." "Works for me Lucky-my-boy. Racer with his baby-blues would make a better Butch, but I'll do my best." "Yipee-Ti-Yi-Yo!" "Who ARE those guys?" - RG

"Well, it lists some, but I suppose we can prop it up and it IS new ... guess it'll do. For now." - Racer the Plotter
"Thankless rabbit." - RG

(For newbies - this was a gift from RoadBunner sometime ago. It hung proudly on the door of Racer's condo for all that time - until he needed to release his wrath for the shoddy outdoor winter housing. Racer needs anger management - or more treats.)

YUR WEEKEND BUNNS ....

2011-10-28T20:27:00.000-07:00

"Zoey likes it! Bunny Thank You card and delightful white-bunny candle holder from F.O.T.A. for our care of her bunnies recently. We're gonna enjoy them and get back to Racer's dilemma on Monday" - RG

"No. 1 Granddaughter is a Junior at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. (Standing in front of the original 1890 building.) I went to visit this weekend.

Besides getting a fine campus tour (beautiful in the fall) with a serious student, I learned (what all young skiers know) how to slice onions tearlessly.

And was supplied with a home-made (on the spot) cider-beef stew ...

... and pumpkin bread with streusel topping - also made on the spot. The world might just turn out OK in the long run." - RG

HOME REPAIRS 101 ....

2011-10-14T19:59:00.000-07:00

Something usually happens when BL goes away. Otherwise what would I do with my spare time? Anybody have one of these under-the-sink instant hot-water deals? Great idea, I love the thing, but there is a drain plug in the bottom and it started to drip, and drip, and drip - big mess! (This is the 2nd one of these that has done that.) I fiddled with it and it got worse! So I squirted a LOT of Gorilla Glue on the drain plug - that ought to do it! Nope. So I took that sucker apart!!!! Now, on the outside this looks pretty nice - certainly not $250 nice (which is what they cost now, I see) but then you also have the nice spout up at the sink. But the inside - which this picture does not really do justice to - looks like the first try of a high-school science project! Tacky pieced in styro-foam, chintzy hoses, masking tape, and (almost) baling wire! After reading some on-line reviews I saw that this happens a lot and that if you whine right, the company will send you a replacement. I did and they will. Stay tuned to see if I can install it!

.... The weather is fine! I'm going out. Be back at 5:00pm RG. Have dinner ready. (please)" - The Princess "Hmpffff .... well, at least she said please - I think. Now a quick report from BL still at the beach in Bandon, Oregon, in her own words .... "Hi Sweetie ... What can I say? Zucchini blossoms were unbelievable: stuffed with shrimp, basil, and cheese, then lightly breaded and fried. Light, delicious. Dipping sauce: Mayo with lemon juice and saffron, Tell bunny bloggers BL is doing great ... earthquake notwithstanding." .... There was a 5.something quake just off Bandon yesterday. I don't think anybody felt it. But the little beach house where BL is sits about 5 feet above high-tide level so even a hint of a tsunami is no trifling matter and there are evacuation route signs everywhere. Me and bunns doing super-d-duper, at least I think so." - RG

PS: How about that toesy for Thursday???

BONDING WITH BUNNIES

HE'S FINE. REALLY.

2011-10-11T19:38:00.000-07:00

"I'm fine. Really. Leave me alone." - Chico"Chico is kind of a messy guy and probably has some bladder issues so he is not the best with litter boxes - unless you consider his entire abode a large litter box! But he is a charming and happy dude and we keep him clean and fine - that was just a pretty bad one there and then he was also outside on the wet deck for awhile, not wanting to stay in his nice big house there when it rained! He'll forgive me when I bring his evening salad!" - RG

"Do you see anything fishy Winnie? Do you see anything? Quit shoving Lucky. No. How about you? No, but I DO smell something fishy. Me too - Rabbits, strange rabbits! Should we go in there? No - let's just play it cool a bit. I've smelled those rabbits before - I just can't remember when. Well crank up your teeny weeny brain and try to remember, Winster. Listen flop-ears. Watch whose brain you are dissing. You aren't exactly Einstein. Think Winnie. THINK! I am, I am - where have I smelled those bunns before????? "Well gosh. Pop up some more corn, make a fresh batch of fudge, grab an apple and some Pepsi and sit back and enjoy. Be ready for tomorrow's installment. - Will The Boyz Succeed? Or ...???" - RG
