The only tribute that I felt would beworthwhile for Pez would be one to share his adventures. Hewas an odd bunny who never truly believed he was a rabbit. Hehad the personality of a dog and mischievousness of a 2 year old child,and the attitude and stubbornness of a mule. My tribute youyou, you were well loved and you loved well. Remember dearheart that Cleo's butt is probably as warm as ever for you to tuck yourhead under and sleep!
Here are a few of his stories collected from this forum
Recently my baby boy ran past me a couple of times making a verystrange noise, it almost sounded like the noise the game Q-bertmakes... boing, boing. There does not seem to be anythingwrong and he appears quite happy. He kind of boings thenbinkies lol When he first did this I had to turn the TV offto hear where it was coming from. I have heard of grunting,growling, purring but never boinging. Anyone else ever heretheir rabbits boing?
Ilooked after an 7 month old baby today. Well Ilook after her all the time lol. Tonight afterdinner I thought I would give her a Popsicle as a treat.
Poor ole Pez (as he is known as now) heard the wrapper and came tearingout to make sure he got some of it. He has a passion forsugar free Popsicles. There was no way that I was going togive him a lick when the baby was sucking on it. Don't knowwhose germs would be worse for who!
So Pez sat on his haunches for a good 15 minutes and I swear I saw adrop of drool hanging from his mouth! He sat there sopatiently, so when the baby finished the Popsicle I wiped it off andwent to give it to Pez.
I bent over to give it to Pez and he got really excited, apparently thebaby was not finished with the Popsicle yet, she bent over towith her mouth real wide and the two of them collided. Theyboth hit their heads together and immediately sprang apart. Inever saw such a frightened look on a rabbit or a babybefore. It happened so fast, that all I could do was doubleover with laughter, making the situation worse because I scared themeven more.
Moral of the story: Make sure you get all your licks in before you get clobbered!
Today we had a dozen or so ducks come to visit. They came andstopped on our front porch for a bite to eat. We feed themquite regularly, these ducks, and/or generations of them,have been coming to this complex for well over 5 years. It isfunny, they go from house to house and one duck will go up and bang itsbeak on the door LOL. We threw out some bread tothem. They caught Pez's eye and he darted to thewindow. I swear he was a dog in another life. Hisface was pressed so close to the glass that you could see his breath,and he was shifting back and forth on his front paws, and making a lowguttural moan. So much for rabbits being timid LOL.
The ducks got spooked by a passing car and they trotted off.Seeing this, Pez thought to go with them, he started off at agreat run and was too busy watching the ducks, he ran SMACK into thewall....ROFLMAO!
We had spaghetti for dinner tonight. Pez has a good eye andran and grabbed a piece that I dropped on the floor. It wasquite a long piece and he sat there sucking it in just like tramp onlady and the tramp. It was just to funny to watch, himslurping it in and making a noise like the piggy he is. I wassorely tempted to put a meatball on the floor to see if he would rollit over to Cleo... but I probably would have ended up with a bunny withan orange chin LOL
This Bunny is gonna be the death of me. Pez our little poopdispenser, can find a TV channel changer anywhere we hide it.Short of putting them where we can never find them again, we have toremember to put them up somewhere out of reach. As I wassitting here replying to this forum, I looked around to check on thebunnies. Only to find Pez happily chewing off the buttons tothe changer, that I had hid! Now the only button left on thechanger is the down channel... Sigh... Ponders if this is a comment onmy choice of programs to watch. Well, I suppose that if hedidn't keep me occupied by making a mess in whatever he gets into, I'dhave to go and pick on my husband instead LOL
Keep those channel changers out of the way.. they are a delicious treat APPARENTLY!
My husband comes flying into the bedroom... quick grab your camera!!!!
I go tearing into the living room ( I should be thin for all the times I go tearing into the living room)
I had left my cooler bottle on the floor beside the couch and Pez had it and was dragging it across the floor!!!!
I took it off of him and he actually growled at me... not a little growl but a Pit Bull growl!!!!
It must be a full moon cuz these bunnies are nuts tonight!
I definitely have a bunny that could be prone to alcoholism LOL
Last night, I went to the fridge and got a cooler, I opened it up andas soon as it made that pop sound Pez came flying into thekitchen. He followed me into the living room practically onhis hind legs the whole way! I sat on the couch, he jumped onmy lap, I could barely take a sip without him trying to grabthe bottle! You ever tried to get a 3 lb bunny off your lap,when he does not want to... darn near impossible! Since itwas his free run time, I did not want to take that time away from himby putting him in his cage, so I went into the bedroom to have a drinkand relax. There he was at the door with his nose under thedoor and all you could hear was grunt.. snuffle, snuffle...grunt! From now on I think I am gonna have to go into thebathroom, turn on the fan to open my coolers from now on !!!
I think poor ole Pez was an alcoholic in another life!
Or I have invented a new toy for bunnies, pineapple and coconutflavoured toys, at least it would last forever cuz he can't chewthrough it LMAO j/k
You ask what was my first mistake?
I had had a very long morning, wasn't feeling the greatest so I thoughtI would lay down and catch a nap. I was just too tired towrangle the bunnies back to the cage. (they normally stay out all dayand would have been really put out had I put them to bed when it wasn'tofficially bedtime) MISTAKE #1
I was off to dreamland, oh and such a nice sleep it was. WhenI went to sleep, both rabbits were under my bed where they usually areduring that time of day. I was roused slightly when theystarted bounding on the bed. But I drifted back off again.MISTAKE #2
Again, I was roused. This time by a noise I had never heardbefore. An obscene bunch of grunts and growls. Iturned my head and rolled over to see what was going on MISTAKE#3. Just as I focus in on the bunny, he... SPRAYED ME!!!...right in the face. Well I flew off the bed, and he flew offthe bed and he had the audacity to stare me in the face with a look onhis that said "What in the heck is, your problem?"
The ironic thing about this whole episode is that I was dreaming aboutNiagara Falls Canada and being on the Maid of the Mist. Forthose who do not know what that is, it is a boat that travels to andnear these humongous water falls and you get absolutely soaked doing it.
Think I learned a valuable lesson today... Never be too lazy or tired to put your bunnies away.. it catches up with you... LOL
