Well-Known Member
Hi everyone. For those who don't know me - I'm "Tiny" aka "The BunFather" and I'm a moderator on the forum for the bunny chat area.
Mom and I have started having issues lately and she says I have "poor behavior" and I say she just doesn't understand me. I decided to appeal to all of you NICE moms and dads to help mom understand me.
Mom moved into my room a few weeks ago and renamed it "the office". I can live with that. I still call it "Tiny's Den" and that's ok with me. I sorta like sharing my den with her 'cause it makes it less lonely.
But sometimes I get bored - or I want a snack. I've learned that if I chew on the carpet mom will try to distract me with craisins or some hay. It was working fine till yesterday when dad was watching a movie with mom on her computer and I did this and she started giving me craisins and dad said, "Boy...does Tiny have YOU trained...you need to break him of chewing on the carpet without rewarding him for it..".
I don't think that was nice of dad. Now all mom does is say "shoo" and push me away from the carpet or give me a piece of paper to shred. She says she's going to consider having a spray bottle handy to spray me if I keep it up - that dad was right and she has been spoiling me too much.
I don't think its spoiling me - I think I finally had her trained.
So to keep us from having to go on "Jerry Springer - Bunny Version" - can y'all help mom and me come to some way that I still get treats but don't get sprayed if I chew on the carpet? I mean - let's face it - chewing on the carpet is sorta tasty and fun.
Mom was gonna get on here this morning and post about this - but I beat her to it. Pretty smart bunny...aren't I? Now she'll have to listen to y'all hopefully defend me to her.
I thought the whole craisin reward idea was pretty cool....
