[align=center]IfBunnies Could Bark[/align]
I scuffed into the kitchen this morningfor my first morning cup of coffee, (scuffed being the word the familyuses to describe the sound my big, fuzzy slippers make as I movethrough the house.) It seems that the whole world can hear thatscuffing, but it means something very special to one little guy inparticular. For Sebastian it means Momma is up!
I generally say good morning to him as soon as I walk intothe kitchen, not to would be quite rude, for he has already begunsaying hello to me. His condo has two elevated levels that areconnected by a ramp. They make the best noises when bounced on in justthe right places! When the greeting begins he does mini hot laps inthe bottom of his condo, but soon his excitement has exceeded hislimited space and he has to begin the bouncing. So, he runs up and downfrom level to level, bouncing with a bit of extra umph on allthe right places to make as much noise as he can. Stopping occasionallylong enough to poke his nose through the holes for akiss.
I usually sit down at my computer, whichis right next to his condo, and check in on the forum as I drink mycoffee and give him a couple cheerios, some pets and a few morekisses.
And then there are mornings like this.Its a weekend. I broke the normal routine and went to the living roomwith my coffee to visit with my husband for a few minutes before heleft for the day. As we attempted to visit there were the most awfulsounds coming from the kitchen! Sebastian grabs his condodoor with his teeth and rattles it when he wants out. He was doing thisnon-stop! Then we heard this clattering sound. He was dragging hisplastic chain to the top level and pushing it off, and repeating thatover and over again. Dont forget the loud bouncing noises his elevatedlevels make as hed make those trips up anddown.
It was ridiculous! I looked at my husbandand said Can you imagine how it would be if he could bark?My husband just shook his head.
Sebastian does a very good job ofcommunicating for an animal that is primarily silent. Im trulygrateful that he doesnt bark!
