  • Bunny magic.

    So, I was sprawled out on the floor with my laptop and someone came hopping by, all curious...

    Other little critters came in to join the fun as well.

    And still others...

    Then it was just me and Bunny. The fact that he has gone from being totally unfriendly to boldly asking for head rubs is pretty fulfilling. (In case you are unfamiliar with rabbit behavior, the chin resting on your leg and incessant nudging are strong indicators that immediate head rubs are required.)

    I seriously love having little woodland creatures running amok in my house. (As long as they use their litter boxes - uh, looking at YOU Brown Bunny...) Anyway. I love all my animals but Brown Bunny is special because he's just a tad wild, a tad less trusting... so when he comes and puts his head in my lap, it's magical. I mean, I kind of feel like this:

    It's hard to believe now that he was originally intended to be dinner for a giant snake. He wasn't bred to be anyone's pet. He's had a bizarre little life... but I'm glad he's made his home here.
