I’m just not sure what to say……

What is there to say. Our rabbits are super stars! First Dora and Paisley make the Disapproving Rabbits book. Now Derby is a star on Cute Overload. The original Flickr photo now has 2,800 views and 20 people have favorited it. There are over 71 comments on the Cute Overload posting, too. To think I was excited to be a CO “pointer outer.” This is much better.

And in other exciting internet news, Pup of Monster Cabinet made the home page of Etsy and has quite a few new fans too.

In additional Internet fun too, check out this Amy Sedaris video starring her pet rabbit and a cupcake shop. She’s shilling for Microsoft, but we’ll forgive her because the video his hilarious and talks about the House Rabbit Society.

[update 2/11/08] Derby has been compared to several well known disapprovers. I made a mosaic for a side-by-side comparison

Bothersome?

From the prescription which we are both on right now.

I would mention it’s name, but at $55 a scrip, I’m not about to pimp them unless I see a kickback.

When, exactly, are nausea and vomiting not bothersome?

7th Anniversary

We took this lovely self-portrait on 12/31/2007. It was our 11th anniversary of “togetherness” and our 7th wedding anniversary.

We decided to continue our tradition of dinner and a movie for our anniversary. We saw “Atonement,” which was fabulous and then had dinner at Zola, which was okay.

Meet Princess, Petunia, Vanilla…Err the New Bunny

Meet the newest member of our household. Another freeloading fuzzy critter. Apparently being cute and fuzzy, and a good friend to Derby will be her main contributions to the house.

The rescue group named her Princess, but that name isn’t working for us. This will actually be the the first time we’ve renamed a bunny. I suggested Viola, but Art didn’t like that. Petunia has possibility, and Art’s also thinking Vanilla. I like Petunia the best.

After nearly a year as a bachelor he seemed to be getting lonely so, yesterday we did the whole fun “bunny speed dating” thing to see if we could find a love connection for Derby. Only one girl did he terribly dislike — immediate fighting ensued. The rest he seemed only marginally interested in, but Miss Petunia (formerly Princess) did an admirable job of showing him her finer qualities both in ear licking and generally being an all around good bunny.

We briefly thought we’d end up with two new bunnies. A sweet girl named “Drummer” who was found as a stray living on the streets of Baltimore almost came home too. And seriously folks — what the hell makes someone think that a white domesticated rabbit can live in the wild. Don’t dump the damn things in the streets of the city or the country.

Anyway. The three were getting along pretty well, but then some bickering began and sadly we opted for the sweet Petunia. Drummer was really sweet, but she’s just not used to other rabbits and I think would do better on her own.

More pictures of Derby’s dating adventures

Bunny Magic Rabbit Rescue is where we adopted Petunia. They had many, many rabbits who still need homes as do several other local rescue groups.

Gleaning Day!

Just call me Ruth! It was gleaning day at our CSA farm, so I was out in the fields picking away. We came home with quite a haul. Art snapped this shot of me with my bag full of parsley. Thank goodness we have a pet rabbit, or all the parsley might have gone to waste! Needless to say it was not on the top of any one else’s list of things to get bunches and bunches of.

We also came home with tons of pumpkins, string beans, and green tomatoes. I’m off to try my hand at pickling half-sour green tomatoes!

Cute Overload Excitement

Yeah! I’m a CuteOverload.com pointer-outer! I sent this photo to CO months ago, and it appeared to day.

And……we found out that a picture of Paisely that he sent to Disapproving Rabbits ages ago was included in the forthcoming Disapproving Rabbits book. As you can see, he was a master of disapproval. Dora was no slouch either.

What an Internet Phenomenon experience week!

the crowd @ Crafty Bastards

Hey — That’s us! A friend caught us in a crowd shot at Crafty Bastards and didn’t even realize it until she got home and started processing the shots. We didn’t actually see each other there. We did meet some folks from Etsy, which is very exciting since Art and I both have Etsy shops!

So look on the left side of the photo in the foreground — that’s us!

p.s. don’t forget to check out Art’s new solo blog.
