Hoppy New Year
We’re spending a low-key, relaxed night at home for New Year’s eve. Had the chance to grab this photo of the bunnies, and decided it would be good to share.
Hoppy New Year, everyone!

Daisy has been struggling a bit more, lately. She still can get around, but her leg isn’t as strong anymore… and she sometimes spins in circles. And sometimes has difficulty getting herself upright.
Daisy’s been struggling a bit more, lately. She’s had some trouble with arthritis, and tends to favor one leg over the other… but lately, she’s been having difficulty moving around. In a few instances, she’s fallen over and hasn’t been able to right herself.
Whenever Liz and I spot a bunny sleeping really hard (or even flopped over), we’ll refer to it as someone being “hard down.” And this is a great example of Daisy being hard down.
Look at those gams. Just look at them.
Work has (somewhat) resumed in the neighbor’s backyard. But I don’t really want to talk about that here. Instead, I’d like to talk about this impossibly tiny, impossibly cute little bunny nugget that appeared amongst all the hoses and buckets.
Caught a few moments on video, when I realized Daisy was sleeping and dreaming. Look at those ear twitches!
Daisy’s been getting on, and her age is starting to show. But I hope that in her dreams, she’s still the same, young, spirited bunny she was when we first met her.
Spotted this guy in our back yard, and my only thought was: the audacity.
Measuring once, cutting twice. Wait… strike that. Reverse it.
Was out in front of the house, when I spotted these two bold buddies on the sidewalk. I froze up a bit, encountering these street toughs, a bit unsure of my own safety and well-being.
Whenever rival gangs like this meet up, I never know what to expect. Knives? Gunplay? Some kind of dance off contest, for control of the block?
Still though, nature finds a way. We very much seem to have a group of bold backyard bunnies.
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.
