Pesky Wabbit

I just met Bunny on the stairs. Bunny is grey and the stair carpet is grey and the stair-well is badly lit. Hmmm, some thought needs to be given to this.

 He's steadily extending his territory. Yesterday he moved into the front room, where he experiences the carpet as meadowland and tries to eat it. He's a happy bunny. I know because he's been doing that capering about and leaping in the air thing bunnies do. It's called (lovely word) "binking".

He's hard to photograph. Most of the pictures I've taken make him look like an ornament off the mantlepiece. Stiff, generic. Or else he moves and becomes a slinky blur. Here's the best so far.....

The equivalent happy-leaping in springboks is called "pronking", I think. Words are so funny sometimes. And so is your bunny!

Why don't you let your guinea pig run free? Or would two small fuzzies roaming the house be too much?

The guinea pig is shy and untamed and if we let it run free it would disappear under the side-board and never re-emerge.

Actually there are now two guinea pigs. Bunny and GP weren't getting on, so we separated them and bought the GP a companion of its own species. Bad move. The new GP just chases the first GP round all day demanding sex.

Oh God, the hell of small furry animals!
