*~The Rainbow Bridge~*

Hay everybunny,

I know it's been a while, but my little-big brother Rox crossed the Rainbow Bridge last month. Mom, Dad, and I miss him terribly, so much so that I decided to tone down the rabbitude for a bit and not bug them about going bunline. Sure he was a hamster and much smaller than me, but he was still my big brother and I listened to him and loved him very much. Though Rox and I did not know each other a very long time, Mom and Dad spent 3 wonderful years with him. (He was a gift from Mom to Dad shortly after they were married.) We will miss his antics - his midnight runs, the various escape attempts, and most of all his crazy cage climbing. Mom says try not to be sad and remember the good times, our lives are that much better having known him. I know Rox is happy having crossed the Rainbow Bridge, a place where he will be forever young and full of energy, his cheeks always filled with sunflower seeds and dried corn.

We love you, we miss you, until we meet again...

Top 5 things about Rox:

5. Cheek pouches. He kept all the goods in there, lucky guy! Particularly funny when his cheeks were so full his head appeared to be larger than his body and he waddled/swayed from the weight of it all!

4. Tenacity. Once his mind was set, he NEVER gave up - especially when trying to obtain his freedom ;-) or snag a bit of cheddar cheese.

3. Rabbitude. Though technically not a rabbit (but definitely an honorary one!), Rox had rabbitude in spades. Never a pushover, Rox marched to his own tune and even bossed me around!

2. Fearlessness. His acrobatics were AMAZING! I can jump high, run fast, and hide better than the rest, but I could never hang upside down from my cage like he did. He'd hang by his hindlegs and drop all the way down from the tippy-top (not sides) of his cage; boy, he was brave!

1. Disapproval! Perpetually cranky, Rox taught me how to improve my looks of disdain, distaste, and disgust - I will forever be in his debt.

Oreo, Mom, & Dad

Happy Foot-flick Friday!

Hay everybunny! Hope you're all enjoying your Foot-flick Friday! After the week I've had, I'm finally relaxed - having just returned home from the Lagomorph Lounge's hoppy-hour. Since I can't possibly disapprove of the Coronas, I tried my best to look haughty instead.

I may have had one too many buntini's - I'm not saying I did, I'm just saying I may have - so Mom got all huffy and insisted I come home to lie down for a nap. At first I resisted - note the utter disapproval...


But I finally conceded, after giving Mom some serious rabbitude!

Mom, I'm a grown bun, I'll come home when I'm ready...is that a craisin???

Mad at Mom

So earlier today Mom thought she could trick me into pedicure (at my favorite salon - From Hare to Tail) by luring me with craisins. She claims my nails are too long, but they look just fine to me.

Anyhay, when I finally figured out what she was up to, I gave her the most disapproving look I could muster up.



I gave her my back, and proceeded to ignore her for the remainder of the evening.

Mom, you owe me a lot of craisins to make up for this...

It's all about Oreo...

Bienvenidos/Welcome to the Musings of the Latin Lagomorph. I am the Lagomorph Lackey, "Mom" and official scribe to our princess, Oreo. Before our one-on-one with her royal highness, I suppose I should briefly tell you of how she came to be in our lives. Let's start at the beginning...

Oreo was a gift, a pet store Easter bunny - Dad has since learned the err of his ways. Neither I nor Dad had ever been owned by a bun and I had my doubts, but after learning Dad had already arranged for the privilege and honor of having the fair princess join the family, I decided to do my research and properly prepare for the arrival of her royal highness. On March 14, 2008 at a little over a month in age Oreo came into our home. She was the smallest of the litter, and the spunkiest of all the half dwarf-half Silver Marten kits - climbing all over her sibblings and (biological) mother. She has not since lost her playful spirit and is truly Momma's baby girl.

Now, a proper introduction, please put your hands together and welcome our princess, Oreo. ::wild applause::

Who is Oreo?

I am the Latin lagomorph, the Bayridge bunny, the cilantro connoisseur. I am a feisty foodie and voracious eater ::ahem:: reader of books -my sophisticated vegan palate favors the likes of Dean Koontz, Greg Isles, and JR Ward, but Mom insists I stick to my ZuPreem and fresh vegs instead. My favorites consist of Carribean and South American kitchen staples - cilantro, mango, papaya, and bananas just to name a few. Being a Hispanic hare, I am a bilingual bun - but mainly speak English with a Brooklyn accent.

Mom says I have to get off the puter now because she has work to do, but I don't see what could possibly be more important than me! Well I'm off to give her some foot flicks, that'll teach her!

Thanks for stopping by everybun!
