Hazel's Real Life

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

Hello everyone! I'm new to RO and I wanted to start a bunny blog for my rabbit Hazel-- my pride and joy. Hazel is a castor-colored mini rex, born 3/04, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel extremely lucky to have him as my companion.

August, 2008

Here's Hazel tolerating me putting a piece of lettuceon his head (I said it was his ode to Oolong-- thedutch rabbit from Japan who was 'famous' on the internet in the 90s for having things put on his head!). January, 2008

I work at home, so Hazel gets to be out of his cage with me all day! However if he thinks I'm not spending enough time with him, he'll wait until I get up and walk away from the computer, then sit in my computer chair and make this face at me until I return and give him some pets (always works)! March, 2009

Here's Hazel cleaning himself in front of the mirror! What a vain bunny! *preen preen* August, 2008

Admiring the snow outside during the winter of 2007.

And this one is from 2006, but it remains one of my favorite Hazel pictures ever

Yes!I am writing on the Basajaun sequel right now, which is great fun to work on. I am also plotting a sci-fi novel (unrelated to Basajaun, and more for adults as opposed to young adults) for further down the road. Thanks for asking, Denise!

Dave-- Thanks! He very definitely is!

For Hazel's 5th birthday last year, I decided to make him a 'cake':

It consisted of two banana slices for 'layers', parsely between the layers for 'frosting', and five Oxbow timothy pellet 'candles'! I'm not entirely sure these items would actually taste good together, but they looked swank!

The first bite-- how horrific!! (Sorry about the poor picture quality, the room was dark!)

The cake is disassembled! I served him a big carrot with the cake just for fun. Don't worry, he wouldn't have been allowed to eat the whole carrot

One layer down.

"Urp-- all done! Morebanana please!" He was not interested in the carrot at all!

 

[Fancy77]

U need to patented that cake soo many ppl would pay to have u serve that to their bunnies gourmet food for bunnies like for dogs lol

 

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

Ha ha-- thanks! ^_^ I was glad it turned out looking like a cake (at least somewhat)!

 

[SweetSassy]

That is too cute!!

 

[fuzz16]

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

Thanks guys!

I've put your book on my Christmas wish list. Read some very good reviews about it.

 

[Fancy77]

Well I went to go buy it on Amazon...its out of stock, that must feel great that they sold out of them good for u

In the mean time I can wait

Oh I just saw I can get a signed copy...I think I will do that yeah!!!

 

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

Thanks Dave-- that's so great to hear! I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you Denise! It is always neat to know the book is selling. Just responded to your pm too ;D

Here's a little video I made a while ago of Hazel going crazy for banana! Despite what my posts might suggest, he does not get banana too often, hence his craziness for it. My fiance picked out the music ;D
