Bunnies, Relaxing
Look at those gams. Just look at them.

We gave Daisy a bit of a cleaning today. She’s had some fur matting near her behind, and along her legs. So we made a makeshift bath, and got to addressing her hindquarters a bit.
We were able to comb some of the area out, but also cut a lot of matted fur as well. And also gave her a nail trim to boot.
I’m used to there being rabbits in our backyard (I have a feeling they know our house is a bunny house). But it still throws me, to see rabbits being so bold, walking down the streets late at night.
Preview. If you were hovering outside our second floor window, this is what you’d see.
Keep in mind this was pretty late. I want to say it was something like 12:30 or 12:45 AM. Long past what I think is a reasonable bedtime for bunny rabbits. But here this guy was, bold as brass, just hanging out in the yard.
In the evenings though, I hide pellets underneath this guy. And Hugo’s always the one to go digging. To the point where it always looks like he’s wearing a small poncho or cape.
Hugo is young and full of energy, but he’s also this incredibly immense coward. Sometimes I’ll walk by, and my appearance just causes him to dart for cover.
Liz broke out the new bunny tunnel that we got as a gift, from Katie and Tim. Hugo was pretty wary at first, but eventually wandered in and got to exploring.
Liz and I were walking home from the grocery store, she grabbed my arm suddenly. She whispered to me that there was a bunny near our front yard, but I couldn’t see him at all.
I imagine Hugo quietly practicing what he’ll need to do, when he decides to head out on the road and hitchhike across the country. Also imagining a line of cars screeching to a halt on seeing this exquisite leg, and car doors opening to offer him a ride.
Stopped in to pick up Daisy and Hugo, at Liz Rench’s place. While there, I got the chance to visit with some very small and very adorable baby bunnies.
Look at those gams. Just look at them.
So. I spent a lot of the day in the basement, working with these supplies. And it seems like all I did was make a few prototypes of Halloween anuses. Because let’s be honest, this is what they look like.
There’s this decent sized divot in the neighbor’s yard, where I think this bunny is nestled. I’m not sure if the areas was the site of a nest, but this bunny really, really likes this spot.
Tonight, Hugo was in rare form… and was digging around a lot in the litter box.
