I thought it might be about time to start one of these... Mostly for the copious amount of pictures I take! 
Just a short intro, this will be a blog for my two rabbits, Holly and Hugh.
Yes. The title. The names. You get it. Sadly, there will be no other bunnies at this mansion (in reality it's half of a duplex in Pasadena, not the sprawling abode in Holmby Hills their namesakes live in, but they're rabbits, they don't know the difference and I'm not going to be the one to tell them).
Let's start with Holly... We basically know nothing about Holly. Don't know what color she is (white with grey/green eyes and very very muted points), have no idea on breed (besides the ability to tack on "lop"), no idea on real birthdate (though we've decided to guesstimate July 5th of this year), and until recently we were all under the impression that she was female (obviously) which has turned out to be not quite the truth. For all intents and purposes though we will be calling her HER and she will be referred to as SHE, for all of our sanity's sakes. Once she is neutered (November! WOOT!) this will just be a blip on the radar.
Holly is a very independent rabbit, but she's extremely happy and makes it fairly obvious by doing countless binkies, ripping around the living room doing Bunny 500s, chewing DVD cases, and burrowing underneath the couch. She isn't much for cuddling or even petting unless you catch her in a rare moment, but she's so silly and hilarious to watch that despite that she forces you to appreciate her for how she is anyway. She's come a long way from when I first brought her home, a scared little ball of fluff whose eyes always seemed to be widened in fear. Now she tolerates her people's presence very well so long as no one tries to catch her to put her in her cage for the night, and she's very much a curious and adventuresome creature. She's also the first rabbit of mine who truly enjoyed toys: tossing them, rolling them, chewing them, carrying them about. She's more entertaining than Jersey Shore, just you dare and try to eat apple chips on the couch. I dare you. You'll end up with a lap full of Holly and no apple chips to speak of in 5 seconds flat!
And now Hugh! Hugh is our stately older gentleman bunn (4 and a half years of age according to his previous owner, who had owned him his whole life from the age of 7 weeks). We have no idea on his color (never seen anything like it) though we are for sure of his breed, mini-lop. Our original hope (because we had Holly, our "girl", first) was to find a neutered male rabbit, one who needed a home and one who was a sight friendlier than our fiesty resident bunny. Eventually they would be bonded together and heave ho we'd have an adorable pair of ironically named rabbits who would be our last additions to the family for some time.
Hugh is the polar opposite of Holly. Quiet, subdued, and very content to just lay there and cuddle with you. He happily flops alongside you on the couch, and if he moves at all (rare) he then immediately demands pets for doing his "tricks", even if it was just walking three steps or digging at the blankets on the couch. He LOVES to be petted on his cheeks and between his ears. He doesn't particularly have a lot of grace, but he doesn't mind if you chuckle a little if he falls over when getting too carried away grooming himself he forgets to balance properly. He refuses banana but would sooner give up his hay for life than let you try to take oats from him. He's not much of a finicky eater as can be attested by his size, but he seems to really love putting holes in his fleece blankies that he simply MUST have in his cage at all time, or I fear my own death by rabbit paw. In the little time we've had him he's become very spoiled, but we're being repaid constantly with his affection, which is quite a nice change from our terror, Holly. Hugh is like the cool side of this bunny pillow. However, if he's not too confused about life after finding out the woman of his dreams is actually the man of his dreams, we still have hopes of bonding the two and Bunny Lord be willing, we're gonna try and make it happen.
