Bunny Blog: Belle, plus Ferdinand + Cornelius (from bunny heaven)

Cornelius

2009-03-05T19:51:00.000-08:00

Cornelius had a long and happy life, with two years with The Feeder in California, then briefly in Texas. Sadly Cornelius - aka Corny, Cornichon, The Pickle - went to Bunny Heaven today. His love for carrots and ability to run into walls and still retain dignity will be missed.

Discovery of fresh grass

2009-02-24T19:57:00.000-08:00

I will not tolerate being an inside only bunny for much longer!

I can do pilates too

2009-02-18T20:53:00.000-08:00

Just a sleepy version.

I don't really care about Orla Kiely

2009-02-15T15:59:00.001-08:00

But The Feeder is obsessed with the Orla @ Target range, as is Auntie Charlotte. I just hope she feeds me soon. Sitting next to the fridge is boring.

Huff

2009-02-10T19:15:00.000-08:00

The Feeder has been in the Round Rock too long this week. Belle is not impressed.

Belle Tries a New Pilates Stretch

2009-02-08T14:26:00.001-08:00

Mr. Chicken is impressed.

Our friends the dust bunnies

2009-02-07T08:28:00.001-08:00

We always wondered where these came from and thanks to Esquire, now we know. The Feeder doesn't really care, but wishes they'd stop.

Bunny Ears and Super Bowl

2009-02-02T20:37:00.001-08:00

Cuthbert watches Cornelius snack on a mini-carrot

2009-02-01T12:20:00.000-08:00

Squirrel envy.

Enough with the rabbit ears

2009-01-31T14:23:00.000-08:00

Clearly we're HD bunnies already.

I need some radiohead

2009-01-25T06:54:00.000-08:00

Hopefully The Feeder lets me play at some point soon. Auntie Tormie's musical instrument is taking up a lot of space in my bedroom and I feel the urge to be creative.

Really. We're here.

2009-01-24T20:13:00.000-08:00

The Feeder has just been settling into her new home and job. But she promised to kick start us (minus the kick). In the meantime we have been very helpful with the unpacking.

I really hope this Christmas tree isn't going anywhere..

2008-12-29T16:54:00.000-08:00

Texas = relaxing

2008-12-28T20:12:00.001-08:00

Christmas Trees are Made for Lounging

2008-12-22T06:51:00.000-08:00

We Made It! Texas Bunnies

2008-12-21T06:18:00.001-08:00

The Feeder apologizes for the long delay. But we're here and happy to be Texans. More to follow..

Must Eat More

2008-11-20T07:45:00.000-08:00

So I won't fit into the Petsrelocation.com crate. I really just want to fly in the first class cabin.

She isn't listening

2008-11-16T22:17:00.000-08:00

Belle is trying to be cute so she doesn't have to leave California, but The Feeder insists it is a good career move. Which means more carrots. Hmm.

And she's off again

2008-11-10T04:56:00.000-08:00

The Feeder is up bright (ish) and early (very), to go to Austin for some new bunny home hunting. Belle wants a pool. Cornelius just wants a room with a bed in so he can continue to sleep under it.

I will continue disapproval about this Texas thing

2008-11-02T07:09:00.001-08:00

Belle isn't convinced about this whole Texas thing

2008-11-01T09:52:00.001-07:00

BREAKING NEWS: The Carrots Are Bigger in Texas

2008-11-01T08:26:00.000-07:00

Or at least that's what The Feeder has told us repeatedly this week. Apparently we're going to live in Austin, Texas as she is going to work for a lovely man called Michael who makes boxes that humans stare at a lot. We hope he likes bunnies.

You Bring Workmen Into Our House

2008-10-17T18:15:00.001-07:00

And we will sit in the most inconvenient spot possible. At least they have gone now. Smells nasty in here though.

Deck Washing Time = Not Fun

2008-10-15T20:01:00.000-07:00

The Feeder locked us away for fear of us running onto the deck to join the fun. We're out again now, but she says they are 'sealing' the deck on Friday. Pah.

The Feeder is back from Baby Eva time

2008-10-05T20:58:00.000-07:00

We like her feet.

Belle Cleans and Reads Eat Shop Austin

2008-09-27T10:24:00.000-07:00

She is a multi-tasking genius princess bunny.

Concall Bunny

2008-09-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

I need to be clean so I can participate. Take me off mute, Feeder!

Plushidermy

2008-09-21T10:09:00.001-07:00

The Feeder bought Albert for Auntie Sabrina's magical day of birth. He's cute. We wish he lived here.

The Virtual Feeder

2008-09-19T19:54:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has informed us that she is flying up to a place called Seattle on Sunday. Apparently it rains a lot up there and they like coffee a lot. And then the following week she will be back at that Big Apple place, plus visiting Long Horns. We're demanding many, many treats to compensate.

Hiding from the godchild

2008-09-15T18:16:00.001-07:00

As he grows older, he's more needy. Pah.

Special Guest Appearance: Darby the Puppy

2008-09-14T12:59:00.001-07:00

He's kind of cute we think.

Belle is Queen of the Castle

2008-09-07T10:05:00.001-07:00

Ha!

2008-09-01T22:04:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has tried many variations of brushes, bribes and outright force to get the bunny butt fur off me during molt season. And yet, she still fails..

Belle really wants to go to the Farmers Market

2008-08-30T08:14:00.000-07:00

Now that The Feeder is finally back from Austin and has stopped playing with Long Horns.

Cornelius Wants Attention Pre-Austin

2008-08-22T22:24:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has been in the Spin Room for a few days

2008-08-21T22:04:00.000-07:00

Blame The Feeder's client, but she's been in the "Spin Room" for a few days. Thanks Forbes for pointing it out.. we wondered where she was.

The Feeder's Life, according to Wordle

2008-08-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

We added it to our blog (bottom right) but it's kind of sad. Laptop is in the middle.

Cornelius Sleeps Upright

2008-08-12T22:02:00.000-07:00

We're baaaaack

2008-08-12T21:26:00.000-07:00

Silly Feeder

2008-08-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

Left the cord that sends our multimedia content to the World Wide Web at her desk at work. We know where her priorities lie ... and are plotting evil things against the nasty black laptop. We want more white laptop time!

Hot Dog Coma

2008-08-09T08:19:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has been in a Hot Dog coma (and Tater Tots too) since her trip to the Big Apple. She promises to take photos of us all weekend for a special update.

The Feeder has gone to see The Big Apple

2008-07-27T20:51:00.000-07:00

I wonder if we can see The Apple from our deck in MV?

Bunny goes to the rescue

2008-07-26T08:26:00.000-07:00

A rabbit, named Rabbit, rescues some two leggers in a place called Australia. What a cutie.

Belle Shows Off Her Skinny Side

2008-07-19T21:11:00.000-07:00

Take that Old Feeder for calling me fat.

Peter Rabbit Makes Another Appearance!

2008-07-15T22:19:00.000-07:00

This time with the UGC Keaton. We like him, even though he likes to grab our ears.

Double Happiness!

2008-07-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

The Feeder is back and the Old Feeder is coming on Monday to hide from the English Summer. Belle is busy grooming in preparation..

The Countdown!

2008-07-05T15:23:00.000-07:00

The Feeder is due to land at SFO on the big winged bird called British Airways tomorrow at 4pm. We hope she is home by 6pm to feed us treats and build the maze haven.

Up North for the Great Great Feeder

2008-07-04T16:02:00.000-07:00

The Feeder went to "The North" of England today for the happy heaven passing of her grandmother aka Nana. We never met her, but we know she liked bingo and sherry so she must have been a good Great Great Feeder.

We Like Bribery

2008-06-30T00:54:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has bought us the new BinkyBunny Maze Haven (TM) to say sorry for leaving us for so long. We hope it gets here soon so she can spend her first night back assembling it for us instead of moving the Big Black Bag around. Doing that with jetlag should be fun for us to watch.

Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny

2008-06-28T01:15:00.000-07:00

The Feeder went to an English Garden this week where Farmer McGregor's vegetable patch was recreated, complete with Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and a hybrid of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny's outfits. I hope she doesn't get any ideas about growing veggies for us (last time she tried they sucked) or dressing us up in clothing.

Our Readers..

2008-06-27T14:41:00.000-07:00

..have suggested we start chewing as revenge for The Feeder going on "vacation". Since Ferdinand went to the Bunny Sky, the house has been relatively unscathed from bunny destruction. Perhaps it is time we each have a target in mind... Belle is favoring the guest bathroom (as Auntie Kris has found her trapped in there twice) and Cornelius is all about the bookshelf. Tic-toc, ten days until The Feeder returns...

Just Me and Mr Chicken Sulking

2008-06-24T09:29:00.000-07:00

The Feeder even took the iPod. Belle is even talking to Ferdinand's ashes, she's that bored.

Lonely, but Auntie S Came to the Rescue

2008-06-22T10:40:00.000-07:00

The Feeder left us on Friday, but Auntie Sabrina came to stay Saturday night. She said it was too hot in da MV and stripped off lots of clothes. We enjoyed that.

Vacation??

2008-06-19T23:00:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has informed us that she is going on vacation to where the Old Feeder lives for two weeks and that Auntie Kris will be our primary caretaker. We're both sulking under our respective beds.

The Feeder is Proud of Her Google Juice

2008-06-18T17:03:00.000-07:00

Personally we prefer Orange Juice.

Cornelius Finally Forgives

2008-06-17T22:07:00.001-07:00

The Feeder for ear torture and allows cuddles.

We're Hoping The Feeder Doesn't Want to Make Us Twitter

2008-06-16T16:35:00.001-07:00

How 2.0: How to Make a Twittering Teddy Bear from My Home 2.0 DIY on Vimeo.

More retro

2008-06-14T18:42:00.000-07:00

The Feeder was remembering Sebastian The Hamster (RIP) and was highly entertained to revisit his adventures from 2004 - 2006 on his early adopter blog. We'd like a new friend to play with, so maybe The Feeder will get us a rodent pal. We like hamster bottoms.

The Feeder Missed An Anniversary

2008-06-14T09:21:00.001-07:00

Specifically, Cornelius aka 'The Mushroom", "Pickle" or "Cornichon". Here's a snap from when he first joined the family from SaveABunny back in May 2007 - before he got bunnytude and demanded papaya tablets 24/7.

Life is too short, don't be afraid to wear the bunny ears

2008-06-12T19:03:00.000-07:00

We like this blog posting and wish The Feeder would pay attention so she's less grumpy coming home from work.

Cornelius vs. Tigger

2008-06-10T22:36:00.000-07:00

Cornelius has a highly competitive streak (when he's not bumbling around and running into things) and is somewhat annoyed that "Tigger" has stolen his disapproval glory on Disapproving Rabbits. Who is this Tigger with his lattice fence? Can he convince his Feeder to feed papaya tablets on demand by circling feet? Does he get to sleep the entire day with Mr Monkey under a bed? Cornelius thinks not and challenges Tigger to a face-off of disapproval. Bring it on sweet cheeks.

Ready for Monday!

2008-06-08T21:54:00.001-07:00

More snoozing for when The Feeder is in a 12 hour meeting. I hope she gets The Internet to access at some point during Monday.

Friday nights are supposed to be fun..

2008-06-07T09:24:00.000-07:00

.. so why did she let the vet torture us? Cornelius has forgiven The Feeder but Belle is still under the bed. Lots of ear drops are required. It's not our fault we have silly lop ears.

This has to get me on Disapproving Rabbits

2008-06-03T07:15:00.001-07:00

Don't watch me poop.

Philip the Tile

2008-06-01T10:00:00.000-07:00

Belle was forced to sleep in the kitchen again, as Auntie Sabrina came to stay. She did have company though - Philip the Tile. Philip is part of the grand remodel of Auntie Sabrina's Big Bathroom Project. Belle approves.

Belle Meets Her Lookie-Likey

2008-05-30T21:08:00.000-07:00

The Feeder thought a cushion image of Belle would be a nice Father's Day gift for The Old Feeder. Belle isn't so sure it is a good idea...

They Think They Know Us

2008-05-28T22:20:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has been commenting on the SaveABunny blog about having a foster bunny (the post recommended Language of Lagomorphs which is pretty cool) and she also recommended BinkyBunny. They can read all they like, but they will never fully "get" us. Sssh, don't tell the Humans. The World Wide Web can't find our secrets. Take that Sergey and Larry.

We Want to Binky Like Phoenix

2008-05-27T21:50:00.000-07:00

He's such a brave cutie. And we love his dancing style.

The Feeder's New Fave Store

2008-05-26T15:09:00.000-07:00

Our favorite Auntie Sabrina (who now is slightly obsessed with Belle - what's with that bunny?), is moving to a swanky new apartment in the City. The Feeder is very excited they will no longer be 52.45 miles apart. Even better, Auntie Sabrina's neighborhood is throughly lovely and includes a fabby shop called Timeless Treasures. The very nice lady there sells lots of cards with bunnies on. Who could ask for more?

Keaton is a Whale

2008-05-24T22:39:00.001-07:00

Keaton the UGC has a face-to-face with Cornelius

2008-05-24T18:02:00.001-07:00

More Belle Lookalikee

2008-05-23T21:59:00.000-07:00

Belle the Princess thought she was unique. But now she has website envy.

Vintage Bunny

2008-05-19T21:28:00.000-07:00

The Feeder's Dad (aka Belle's crush) sent a photo of The Feeder's Mum's vintage bunny this week. The bunny was named Heather and she's up in the Happy Place in the Sky with Ferdinand and The Feeder's Mum. We bet they are are having lots of fun together watching us destroy the house whilst The Feeder is busy figuring out how to type on her new slave-device.

Belle "Zooms" - Happy that it isn't 91F inside

2008-05-17T13:20:00.000-07:00

Bunny Blogger Friends!

2008-05-17T12:47:00.001-07:00

SaveABunny (the shelter where we came from in Mill Valley) has started a blog - they even have a post on bunny poop.. we're hoping The Feeder starts composting soon. Take a read - we're going to link to it too. Bunny bloggers unite!

I mean seriously...

2008-05-15T11:10:00.000-07:00

... we like summer. But 97F? Not fun. We're having some serious flop-time.

Farmers Market Lettuce

2008-05-12T21:26:00.000-07:00

The Feeder likes to a) Farmers Market and b) BBQ. Belle wants to explore the deck, but is stuck eating organic, locally grown lettuce (and really, lettuce is lettuce.. not tasty cilantro).

Happy Bunny Mum's Day!

2008-05-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

The Feeder bought some flowers for herself so we didn't have to bother. What a great Bunny Mum!

LA LA LA

2008-05-07T22:31:00.000-07:00

The Feeder feels bad for leaving us once more to go and hang with the digital entertainment crowd in LA (wasn't Far Easterly place enough??). Despite our pleas for a walk-on role on Grey's Anatomy (Belle likes McDreamy), she came home without contracts or treats. We might have a cuddle strike to retaliate, but Cornelius isn't willing to forgo his evening snuggle.

Hot Dogs

2008-05-02T18:02:00.001-07:00

We didn't get to go to the zoo today with The Feeder and GC (God Child). We didn't want the hot dogs, but are sad we missed the monkeys.

The Old Feeder has Left Us

2008-04-27T16:05:00.000-07:00

Belle is very upset. She tried to get into the suitcase but failed.

Just wondering about the color of the poop "crate"

2008-04-20T15:38:00.001-07:00

I thought blue would be more this season.

Far Easterly Germs/New Litter "Crate"

2008-04-20T15:30:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has been snuffling in bed for the last three days and stopping us from sleeping. We suspect she may have ingested some of Belle's Baytril to get rid of her hacking cough, but can't be sure. Despite her germs she managed to purchase a new litter "crate" for Cornelius from Leith Petwerks as she's "fed up of random poops". Cornelius seems to be happy with the new addition....

Far Easterly Carrots

2008-04-14T22:32:00.000-07:00

The Feeder is back from Far Easterly place (phew - we didn't want anymore of the Old Feeder playing us BBC Radio 2 in the morning), but all she talks about are the carrots and pickled cabbage. We don't want cabbage, but hope she smuggled some of the giant carrots past the nice Customs Man.

First Babies, Now Far Easterly Place?

2008-04-06T20:23:00.000-07:00

The Feeder has left us alone all day so she can play with babies. Now the big black case is back out and she told us she is going to a Far Easterly Place for work tonight and has a very long time in a tube in the sky. We hope she brings us a duck from the Far Easterly Place. Far Easterly must be full of ducks and bunnies! We'll enjoy tormenting the Old Feeder whilst she is gone. Thump.

You might be cute and from Texas

2008-04-06T20:20:00.003-07:00

But you aren't taking our chicken.

Boring

2008-04-04T16:09:00.000-07:00

The Feeder keeps taking photos of us. She's given up on getting us on Cute Overload but says we're so grumpy that we simply have to be on Disapproving Rabbits.

Busted

2008-04-01T09:31:00.001-07:00

Hiding from Manicure Lady

2008-03-31T22:28:00.000-07:00

Our mani-pedis happened tonight. No more click-click from Belle. And poopy bottom Cornelius is all cleaned up. Belle is throughly unimpressed and refuses to come out from behind the big glowing box that The Feeder and the Old Feeder look at every night.

Am I...?

2008-03-30T08:51:00.000-07:00

Sleeping? Meditating? Wondering about the meaning of life....?

muvee

2008-03-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

The Feeder is obsessed with a new video editing product called muvee. We hope she buys it so the quality of our video improves. Here's one of our oldie favorites (credit to Ferdinand's acting skills).

HAPPY BUNNY (AND DUCKIE) DAY!

2008-03-23T08:47:00.001-07:00

There is plenty of excitement in the house today as it is officially Bunny and Duckie Day. We really wish The Feeder would hurry up and get us a quacking friend.

The Feeder Needs to Find her Digital Camera

2008-03-19T20:04:00.000-07:00

Cornelius is over the "photo booth" shots from the MacBook. Especially the ones where The Feeder thinks it is fun to hold his ears up.

We're not able to vote....

2008-03-14T23:17:00.000-07:00

Seeing as The Feeder is a "resident alien", but we're rooting for Mr Pinkerton. And we really like the shopping bags (we're all about eco packaging for our herbs and organic kale).

http://www.cafepress.com/mrpinkerton

We want this kind of Easter

2008-03-14T07:52:00.001-07:00

Flying Fur

2008-03-09T22:24:00.001-07:00

Belle has finally ended her massive moult of the season. And Cornelius has just started. We heard The Feeder saying that "click click" days will be over on Monday. We're not sure what she means by that?

Cornelius Comments on Belle's Crush

2008-03-06T22:54:00.000-08:00

It is official that Belle has a BC (bunny-crush) on the Old Feeder. The Feeder had a WFH day (Work From Home) and had zero attention. As soon as the Old Feeder returned from hitting a small white ball around a big field, Princess Belle became social. Personally, I love everyone. Especially if they will cuddle.

Cupcakes and Bunnies (we wish!)

2008-03-01T09:14:00.000-08:00

Crack

2008-02-24T12:14:00.000-08:00

The Feeder bought us a new treat from Busy Bunny - Apple Treats by Brisky Pet Products. The Feeder has to keep the container away from us as we're so addicted. "Bunny Crack" is what she calls it, whatever that means.

Belching Bunnies

2008-02-18T22:10:00.000-08:00

We like this. And we wish we could belch. Life would be so much easier!
