Poor sassy! Fluffy needs to learn that no means no!

Is ”no” even in a bunnies vocabulary? The ones on Ōkunoshima Island do not seem to know the meaning.

For those who do not know, Ōkunoshima Island is a Japanese feral bunny island often referred to as Rabbit Island.

Someone introduced bunnies into Australia. It was NOT good. I think they wound up solving the problem by introducing some super bunny virus that was ALSO in some other way not kind to the Australian ecosystem.

You will get locked up faster than the bee's knee's (IDK) if you attempt to (even inadvertently) introduce any flora and fauna into Australia,. They are super serious about it and I get why. That is an island that was COMPLETELY isolated from outside forces until quite recently. They've had quite a few natural disasters.

You are not kidding!!! When Himself made the first trip to Queensland to go to his office there, it was a two weeker. I, unbeknownst to him, carefully unpacked his bag and stuffed little (sealed in original packaging) bags of candy or treats into every shoe, pants pockets, dop kit along with a sweet note, and repacked it all thinking of the smiles it would bring him. First call upon landing was to tell me I almost got him arrested by customs! Fortunately, the agent thought it was very funny when he realized Himself was as surprised as him. They’re definitely a lot stricter than Canada or the EU

    We have a pet gate on our bathroom door, to keep the DOG from tearing up the toilet paper. Catdog can’t be bothered with such exertion. This is about as active as she gets (tomorrow is medicated bath day, so excuse her icky fur). The picture woke her up, her is NOT pleased :eek:

    Huge compared to my (pilfered by child #3) Russian Blue, who weighs shy of 7 pounds. Catdog has ginormous paws, like a medium size dog. After a year of diet kitty kibble (no treats or people food much to her displeasure) she’s only down to just under 19 pounds. Fortunately , her labs are all normal...so, no explanation for her heftiness except for genetics and the fact she’s about as active as a sofa cushion. She’s unlike any cat I’ve ever had.... likes baths, doesn’t mind getting her nails clipped, begs to be brushed, and only occasionally gets after her scratch pad and nothing else.
    Edit: found something she doesn’t like...the measuring tape :lol:. It got a claw full, and a glare.
    Perhaps she’s self conscious of her size lol

    Have to confess, I thought “Catdog” was a mis typed name and didn’t want to question you on it. Is that kitties name? AWESOME!!

    My cat b4 Zelda was named Cliff, but spelled C.Li.F.F. His first visit to the vet, the receptionist inquired about his unique spelling. I replied it stood for “Cute Little Furry F***er. She was not impressed. I gave Cliff to a friend when I moved to NY.

    Zelda also likes baths….she yells at me to give her one!

    She’s a certified, pre-owned cat who lost her elderly human. His sister, who knew nothing about the cat, surrendered her to our vet’s office where she stayed for a couple of months. She adopted us when we went to pick up our pup’s ashes. The office called her Callie (even though she’s a torti). They guess mostly maine ...., around 8 yo. She walks and snores like a bulldog and has almost zero cat-like behavior. Himself started calling her Catdog. She answers to it, so it stuck.

    When Georgia was a pup, she got into the toilet paper and I’d scold her. Happened maybe 3-4 times. One day I’d been out and came home to fine the roll empty, but no mess on the floor. She’d hidden it all, every last bit, under her dog bed.
    Clever girl.

    Yeah, things like, "Think of me as you digest this bonbon from me backwards" might not have gone over too well.

    The worst Valentine like, I ever got the husband was a plasma TV back when they were like MOST expensive like SO EXPENSIVE and like, I went in to get one, was dizzied by the array of OPTIONS (it was like year 2) only..... I couldn't decide which "feature" the husband would want, and like, so I just said to the dude, "Who was like, "This woman is CLEARLY the best girlfriend EVER!!!" to sell me the most expensive one in the store, so the guy did, after me going, "Well he will probably want to exchange it and then he can have store credit,."

    But like I forgot a bill I had to pay. So I sat down to HANDMAKE (I went to a Waldorf school okay? If you don't know what that is, just look it up and be glad your kids DIDN'T there is EURYTHMY which is this sort of therapeutic dance/communicaton class and if you were bad in school they could send you to "curative eurythmy" so teachers thought they were helping you. Only among the students it was code name for "I want to kill myself." Anyway, great school to learn to hand make things, and also to do drugs. Science, okay-ish, math very, very bad.)

    So yeah I had to handmake him this Valentine's card with pictographs (I was excited) it did look a little Ancient Egypt I mean there were Tv's with antennas with red circles drawn through them and like, instructions on how I would need to borrow fifty bucks to not overdraw my account only like he was going to be REALLY HAPPY HONESTLY it was gonna be the best Valentine's day EVER for him. LOL.

    He came home tired that day,. There was a lot of yelling on his part. He could not handle my card it was as if he was in Desperate Need Of Curative Eurythmy and like, he kept saying.... "I DON' T UNDERSTAND WHY DO I?"

    And I'd be like, "Read it again dude. Look your friends are going to be SUPER JEALOUS and that is what Valentine's IS, street CRED (really it is.)

    So eventually I explained and we got the TV without my every donating Blood plasma like, even.. (I was worried) and his friends were all like "Anna did WHAT? She IS the best girlfriend ever. Mine would NEVER do that," and "YOUR choice AND store credit??"

    LOL the husband got me my final (we agreed once the cred was there, it was there.) He kept saying it was coming and I got really annoyed. At that time I worked in an office FULL of women. So he got me the Redneck Vermont Teddy Bear which my thought was "Why does this bear have a Budweiser Hat and a beer in it's hand is this some kind of RELAPSE invitation? I thought this guy was sober?" Only like, it was the "Redneck Bear and I got the chocolate AND the bouquet and everything.

    One woman started crying because her husband wouldn't acknowledge Valentine's day, it was almost sad except if I was her husband, not divorcing her would have been my daily valentine's present. But the husband understands women I was the best WOMAN because I had the best MAN (in the eyes of women mostly). To his friends, I was the best WOMAN because he had the best plasma TV or TV of his CHOICE plus STORE CREDIT.

    LOL after that we decided not to try and top valentine's day and I would just bring home candy from the store and me, the husband and the kid would eat it and go, "Society sucks."

    Cutest pics ever. Love to see them standing up. Thanks so much Ricky for making their lives better!
    Aw thanks they are really happy. I made their cage that lady gave me smaller and put it inside last night with the help of mom. It folded down in half which is better since the bunnies can’t jump up to second levels anyways. So they have that at the back to go in at night. I’ll leave it open during the day so they can also jump in there as they please. So it’s not like it’s taking away floor space.

    I have their blue and pink food dishes I got meant for rabbits on the other side of the blue hutches. In one photo you can see bugs eating from them with his ears perked up while sassy is in a hutch.

    Of course fluffy is in a separate kennel lol sassy looks at me like thank you!
