The Bunny Speaks

Dear Mommy,

I was shocked to see your previous post about my personal business! I never realized it would be you airing my dirty laundry and selling insider stories to tabloids. I guess some people just can't handle their jealousy!

As you mentioned, things are changing now that I am a star. Unfortunately, you left out several key changes that need to happen.

 First of all, breakfast needs to be served before noon. Quit calling it brunch and acting like it is a real thing. It's you being lazy! Breakfast should be served in the morning hours regardless of your schedule.

Second, getting distracted is not an acceptable reason to forget to feed me dinner! In fact, there are no acceptable reasons to forget to feed me dinner. And no, it doesn't count when you come in later apologizing and babbling about work. I like my dinner at 6; not at 10! 

Third, "Pants Free" is not the way to be! Your personal philosophy regarding clothing seems to be "Pants Free is The Way to Be" at least around the house. I must strenuously object to this policy! Not only is it unsightly but you leave yourself vulnerable to accidental injury. Like that time you sat on my pine cone?! Cover your hairless self for everyone's sake!

Finally, quit posting about MY private life on the internet! I know it must be hard being an anonymous hoomin. Especially given my meteoric rise to fame but please try to manage your petty jealousies. No more inappropriate posts about my litter box habits!

I hope you will take this message to heart. I don't like having to publicly call you out but I will do it again if necessary! 

XOXO Scarlett O'Hare

P.S. See you in a few hours for BREAKFAST!

Dear Scarlett...

Dear Scarlett,
I know you are famous now. You've had a taste of the high life and you can't be expect to live like an ordinary house bunny anymore. Changes must be made! That is totally fine. However, peeing outside the litter box is not going to be one of those changes! You are more than welcome to sleep all day, throw things around your room, constant preen and groom for your adoring public. I will even tolerate your new cultivated aloofness. But you still need to use your litter box! 

 In case you've forgotten, this is what it looks like! For your convenience, I've even set up 2 litter boxes in your room. That way you are never more that 3 feet from a box. It would be much easier for everyone if you did your business there rather than on the freshly washed rugs.
Enjoy your new found celebrity! And quit peeing on my floor!
Love Always,
Mommy

Guess What?

I'm the disapproving bunny over on Disapproving Bun! I'm so excited... I just love being admired! Maybe now that I'm famous, Mommy will give me extra treats. I will try to remember the little people despite my new found fame! :) 

XOXO Scarlett O'Hare

Heatwave

Hiya Chums,

As my Grandma Robin likes to say: Holy Hotflash! We're having a heatwave in San Diego this week. It's well into the 90s! Mommy always says her people weren't meant to survive in temperatures that high but what about MY people? I have fur! All I can do is rest on the tile in front of my little fan and drink ice water (Mommy put ice cubes in my bowl!). I wish I could unzip my fur for a few hours....

There's a lot of this going on around the house today:

We'll return once temperatures are suitable for human and bunny life. Until then, stay cool ( or warm depending on your location).

XOXO Scarlett

Sunday Funday!

Hello Lovelies!

It's been a Sunday Funday around here today! We cut loose and had a ball. There were naps, lunch and some fun games. Most importantly, we got comfortable! Some more than others...

You said 'Make myself comfy'!

And to add to our fun, we received an award from our buddy Speedy! He gave us the YooHoo Award. We've had to complete several tasks for our award. First, we needed to thank the person who gave it to us. Secondly, we had to comment on 3 of the blogs that received the award along with us. Hello new friends! :) Next, we are have to tell you three things we are celebrating. 

1.) Being with our family today, reminded us how lucky we are to have such a wonderful and loving support system. We are celebrating our family and friends!

2.) We are so excited to have received 375 visitors (this month) to our website, Wigglesworth Pet Artwork! 

3.) We celebrate each other! We are both better off for knowing the other. Our human/bunny bond is worth celebrating! In fact, every bond between human and animal is precious. We celebrate you guys too!

Our next job is to pass it on to 7 blogs! Without further ado, we present the YooHoo Award to:

Big Ears, Tiny Tales

Disapproving Bun

Hutch a Good Life

Nylablue & SherriEllen's Purrfect Pad 

One Eye On The Future

The Life and Times of Bunnies

Little Fluffy Adventures

We hope everyone has fun passing this along! Have a wonderful week!

XOXO Meaghan and Scarlett

P.S. Check back this week to hear about my continued battle against Mommy's new camera! -Scarlett (My entries will now be italicized to avoid confusion since Mommy and I both post on here. Thanks, Auntie Sam for pointing out this glitch!)

'Easter' Bunnies

Hello Darlings,

Spring has sprung in California (not that we ever get winter!) and with it comes bunny season. Bunny cards, bunny candies, bunny plushies, bunny everything! Of course, bunny season is our absolute favorite season!

However, there is a dark side to this fabulous time: Easter. We don't object to Easter itself...We are all for religious tolerance and ham! We heartily object to the misuse of rabbits that has escalates during the Easter season. As a crazy bunny lady and a rescue bunny, we feel it is our job to act as ambassadors for rabbit-kind. We must educate the wider population about these wonderful creatures and protect rabbits from harmful misinformation. 

Harmful? I don't think I like the sound of that! 

One of the biggest sources of misinformation about rabbits involves the idea of Easter bunnies. Not the big furry one who brings candy, but a small delicate living animal being given as a gift. Let's make this very clear: Bunnies are not gifts or toys! They are living, breathing commitments that require extensive care and lots of understanding. They may not like children or want to be touched. They require healthcare and interaction. They are year-round bunnies, not just 'Easter' bunnies! Sadly, many of these rabbits end up homeless or in shelters once their 'owners' discover that real rabbits have needs. 

As ambassadors to the lagomorph, Scarlett and I came up with a few simple ideas to prevent rabbit tragedies this Easter:

1. Don't Give Live Animals as Gifts! This should be self-explanatory. Bringing someone an extra mouth to feed and another source of dirt is not a gift. Try chocolate or other bunny-themed items!
2. Keep Chocolate Up High! Many a bun has been known to investigate and eat dangerous human treats. Chocolate can be fatal to rabbits so best keep the goodies out of reach.
3. You Can Never Have Too Many Craisins! They make excellent gifts for every occasion. Big baskets full of craisins!
4. Adopt, Don't Buy! There are plenty of bunnies waiting for good homes. Give one a chance!

Have a wonderful Easter!  

XOXO Meaghan and Scarlett

Humans with bright lights

Hello My Lovely Friends,

Scarlett O'Hare here to report the happenings around the 'office'. My weekend was fairly relaxing until Mommy decided she needed a new camera. She claims her old one wasn't working but I suspect she just wanted a new way to torture me. Now, I can't get away from her and her flashing lights! Everywhere I go, Mommy follows shoving her camera in my face WITH the flash on. Doesn't she know my eyes are delicate?! 

Seriously, woman! Watch the flash!

I better get use to all the attention. After all, I am adorable and a minor celebrity. I guess heavy is the head that wears the cuteness....

Its not easy being this cute! 

I would be more cooperative if Mommy didn't take pictures from unflattering angles. But no, she makes me look chubby! Everyone knows white is the hardest color to pull off especially when the camera adds 10 pounds.

Does this blankie make me look fat?

Well, I am nothing if not resourceful. I will find a way to avoid Mommy and her unflattering photos. Maybe she won't see me if I stay in my cardboard house.....

XOXO Scarlett
