Toasty Buttons!

It's 27 degrees centigrade and humid. Who wouldn't want to sunbathe in a fur coat?

PS dear American friends 27c = REALLY HOT in Fahrenheit :)

Testing out the facilities...

Hope this works!

Little miss

Well look who is home! And look who he bought with him! Exciting!

In the last post Buttons was on the left! Well done to those of you that were correct. They are very very similar but Buttons is more gingery and new bun is more grey. And in spite of Buttons looking bigger in the pic below, because he's nearer the camera, in fact little miss is a whole 170g heavier than him, which is a lot when you are less than a kilo big.

So I'll tell you her story and more about her another day when I have more time, but in the mean time, we need your help with naming the little Miss!

Any thoughts?

Love is in the air xx

Just received this photo update from the rescue (or as the husband calls it the bunny dating farm) Can you tell which is Buttons and which is his new friend???

Update

 Oh we've been too busy to blog, (but I do still read all my friends blogs each week, even when I don't have time to comment! ).  Rest assured dear readers, we haven't forgotten you!  And so just so you know we are all alive and kicking here's a couple of cute and recent pics of buttons doing his thing!  1. Hiding in a tight corner of the lounge 2. Leaping (lucky i caught this) through the door joining his shed to run!) And next week hopefully there will be news! Buttons is off on a date this weekend!!! Fingers crossed x you just never know with these fickle lady buns, but hopefully there will be good things to share with you all soon!

La Palais du Buttôns

The grand unveiling! Our wonderful neighbour who is a dab hand at building stuff agreed to build a bespoke run for Buttons to extend his shed. And The human's dad fitted a great little porthole so that when the door is closed at night, or when we are out, buttons can still get out to enjoy some Fresh air. Buttons was not keen on the hammering and sawing, and took refuge for a while under the coffee table in the lounge. When it was all ready we let him out: Buttons knawed through a ceremonial red ribbon and promptly set about nibbling the edges of the new run just to "personalise" his space! Here it is: Excuse the paint and stuff, we are doing human palace upgrades too! Porthole:

Happy Easter

It is still (just) Easter here, as it's Easter bank holiday Monday for another three hours. Just a quick note to say despite the dreadful rain, the humans had a lovely Easter. Buttons however had a fantastic Easter! I have no pictures yet, but we just completed extending and renovating his palace... And it really is a palace now. Pictures to follow soon when the rain stops! In the meantime here's buttons enjoying the garden during a sunny day recently

Obsession

I love all things bunny. I think this has been the case since we had Beep, my first real pet rabbit when I was about 8 (I think, will have to check that with my parents). My favourite stuffed toy when I was little was Becky Bunny, a BIG pink rabbit with a purple dress on, and Velcro hands, in which she held her little pink baby bunny, Bobtail. She might still be my favourite if my mum hadn't "retired" her to the attic when I went to college, as apparently that's too old for stuffed animals ;-)

I did a short inventory of the bunny things in the house this week. Things have crept in, and particularly with the arrival of our son... Babies and bunny toys go hand in hand right?!? And this time of year is my favourite, the shops are full of Easter bunnies.

Here's just a selection of mine. What's your favourite bunny toy?

Chocolate bunny... Hooray for Easter


Cookie cutter


Welcome rabbit (also temp home to boiler control!)


Herb planter


Mug


Attempts at origami

Book ends


This rabbit was bought for me by the husband when we were newly dating. It smells of vanilla!


Clock!


Lots and lots of baby stuff, particularly Peter Rabbit themed





And not forgetting, my favourite bunny:


There's more, but that might send blogger into meltdown!

Stretch!

Buttons is smart. He knows the exact safe distance which allows him to play with the baby's toys, but without letting the baby touch him!



The eagle eyed among you will note that the baby's pyjamas have Thumper on... Poor kid has no choice but to like rabbits ;-)

Buttons is getting jealous though... This is his: "why does the baby have so many more cool toys than me?" look:

Spring!

Spring is Quietly springing! Finally we had a sunny day today. Buttons was springing around the garden at superfast speed, but of course I didn't manage to get it on film; he's sooooo speedy! So hopefully here are some little films I did manage, of Buttons generally snubbing me and showing that he's not a performer thank you very much!
