You know you’re a little obsessive when…
1. You’re stuck in the middle of downtown LA, in inexplicable traffic, and you’re about to be late to your next meeting…but hey! The fact that you’re not moving means you can check BinkyBunny on your cell phone! Woo-hoo!
2. You mute your favorite TV show to watch the latest Adee-video, because, hey, lops will have floppy-ears even without sound, but it’s just not the same without clicky-bunny-nail-noises on tile, and Adee in the background saying, “Silly bunny!”

3. Your basket at the grocery store contains the finest head of lettuce and greens the store has, and you know because you looked at ALL of them, and a couple of the cheapest tv dinners on the planet and you’re proud of it.
4. You stand for an hour at Big Lots looking at the cheap toss rugs, trying to decide which color the lovely Pringles would rather pee on.
lol that’s too funny
Lightchick- you crack me up sometimes. you’re so nice! ![]()

Soooo freaking true!! LOL They are probably like “WHAT???” when we roll through the checkout with forty bux worth of produce including specialty vegetables and the no-name frozen mac n’ cheese ![]()

5. You go to the local farmer’s market and run into some friends. They look at your selection of greens and ask “Don’t you ever buy anything for the rest of the family here?”
6. The vendors at said farmer’s market have the carrot tops set aside and packaged up, waiting for you.
Aww, shucks!
*blush*
You’re awfully nice, too, Minnie!
7. You ask your boyfriend how his rabbit’s day was…before you ask how your boyfriend’s was!
(Sorry I can’t seem to figure out how the quote function works…)
8. AND your boyfriend doesn’t even get insulted and happily tells you about his bun’s day.
9. People you meet don’t remember you name but ask about your buns by name. All of them.
lol lightchick *blush* your so sweet!! my voice sounds ALOT deeper on the video because i was trying to keep quiet and avoid waking my children hahaha, its amazing how dead quiet my house is at night. More so, the sound Abbie makes when scratching her ears is hilarious, it sounds like someone hitting a tarp or something… ill try to get the sound of it on video, thank goodness for TIVO and DVR!
*i too was stuck in traffic today and was reading binkybunny response to litter training.. it killed me not to type a complete message during the wait hahahaha
*you come home and the first thing you do is check on bunnies… fill water, food, hay and clean up any stray poops
*you contact your breeder (for abbie) and the family who helped bring her home DAILY, you speak to them more then your very best friend.. sad i know hahaha
*you cant wait to go to the feed store again to pick up more equine pine, hay, exc the mere thought of running low sends you into anxiety attacks
*you will eat wilting spring mix salad and romaine but the bunnies get the crispy fresh stuff!
*after years of owning a webcam and never using it.. you debate and try to figure out how to do a live feed so you can see your bunnies anywhere and everywhere you are.. thank GOD for Inet ready cell phones!!
isn’t that true. I do go to the store and the workers there ask about my buns.
I greet Cotton verbally b4 I say hi or bye to hubby when coming and going. Any stink eye hubby gives bun is the start of a dissagreement. Even when he tries to feed Cotton something cotton looks at him and hops off. Making hubby upset . Yet when I hold out something for Cotton he takes it and runs off to eat it in a special spot of his choosing. Totally upsetting hubby.
When at the computer you usually have a bun perched in your arms and typing out replies and posts with 1 hand.
10. your late for work because you cant seem to pull yourself away from the cuuutteeeyy bunnny facceeyyyy starin at you as your about to leave the house.
11. you pop into the supermarket for a pack of mints but cant seem to get away from the grocery section… oh oh then the pet section… and before you know it ‘the store is about to close can all customers make there way to the checkout’ LOL
12. When you go to work and have been forced to take your bunny with you because of increadable cuuuutteess
13. And then you set up a pen.
Hee, hee!
If you count the ones that weren’t numbered, we’re actually up to 20!
21. Your bunny is your fortune-teller for how your day is going to go. Unprovoked stink-eye in the morning means a poopy day is ahead. A lick in appreciation of a good-morning head-scritch means a glorious day awaits!
(And I’ve totally done ALL of the grocery store things you all have mentioned!)
22. Looked longingly at the watercress at a grocery store, because Beka (I think..?) said her bunnies LOVE it! But alas, the watercress ALWAYS looks limp and old. And yet you look at it every time, hoping…
23. When you drive the 15 miles to the city for lettuce because the head you just bought at the local grocery is ok for the hamburgers but……..
24. you’re the type of person that doesnt make a fuss when your meal at a restaurant comes and it either has what you are allergic to it on it even though you asked for none or is just wrong in some other way but you eat around the bad stuff and don’t complain. But then you go to the grocery store, find the 4 wilted brown and slimy heads of romaine, you find the red leaf lettuce in the same condition and actually ask to see the store manager and inform him that you cant believe he would allow that to be on display and what does he suggest might be in edible condition because you’re not going home to face a rabbit who isn’t getting her evening salad because Safeway can’t provide fresh produce.
25. You realized what you’ve just done and said to this man and instead of being embarassed you are more angry that he had made you question your dedication to your baby.. and you run home to check binky bunny so you can feel sane again
I’m just so glad I’m not the only one who buys tons of expensive organic produce… and then eats cheap frozen meals for dinner!!!!
Oh some really gooooooodies!!! Funny how I do the same thing since I have been a new buns owner.
26. It gets really bad when the produce guy knows you by name and goes in the back to get the good stuff for you LOL!
27. You run in for some veges hoping to be there only a few minutes and wham it has been almost an 1/2 hour or more and your still scanning the produce section!
28. You start talking to new people you just met and start mention Beeslee did this Beeslee did that and they kinda look at you funny bc they not sure who Beeslee is and what binkies are!
29. You won’t drive more than a mile to get yourself food, but you’ll happily drive 30 minutes for the right hay for your critters.
30.) NO-ONE leaves the house for a trip to town until bunnies have been fed, watered, cleaned up, given fresh hay and greens, had their freeze bottles checked, the window cracked open just a scooch to let in fresh air, heat has been set just so to keep bunnies from catching a chill, cuddles have been given, toys properly set up to avoid bunny boredom, cat has been firmly escorted out of the room and door shut….and then you pop back in at least three or four more times to give head scratchies and tell them you’re only going to be gone for a few hours, that you love them and to be good and not get in any trouble!
…Then when you get home the hubby and kids have to unload the groceries while you run in to check on the buns and tell them how much you missed them and how your trip went and what goodies you got for them, etc.
31.) When not going to town, this routine is repeated every time you take out the trash, go for a walk with the dog, go to the post office to get the mail, etc.
MimzMum, you crack me up! Especially since I imagine you fussing around Mimzy, passed out in a lazy bunny heap, oblivious to your efforts, and Pip, running around in hyper circles, too busy chasing her own tail to notice…! Silly buns obviously have you well-trained!
32. You binky WITH your bunny, to show her how happy you are that she’s so happy! You do happy binky bunny jumps togther…in front of the open living room windows…
33. You’re bunny is SOOO cute and fuzzy and cuddlicious, that you have to leave the room to keep from snatching her up, and holding her and hugging her (…hopefully not calling her “George”!)….which would inevitably lead to fierce scratches, flailing, the bunny-butt and several days worth of the stink-eye…!
Hahaha!!! I’m guilty of at least 75% of these!!! My bf so often tells me how worried he is because I’m so terribly obsessed with the bunnies!!!! Lol
Mimzmum I can totally relate.
32. You binky WITH your bunny, to show her how happy you are that she’s so happy! You do happy binky bunny jumps togther…in front of the open living room windows…
Ha. I would totally do that. ![]()
My daughter connects with the bunny hugging problem. Not that we don’t have enough stunt bunnies (plushies) to take the edge off…..but….
It’s just not the same.
I would be so scared I’d crush some vital organ hugging my bun…nevermind the stink eye. >_<
So funny! So I’m not so much obsessed as possessed.
I do a little tooth chatter to let my bun know I’m enjoying her company!
Lately when reading, I inadvertantly misread words so they become bunny related. I keep doing this!! Can’t remember all instances but
I just read the word popping as pooping for example! Soon I’ll be slipping bunnyism into general conversations without realising.
” Hi, nice to meet you. Has somebunny offered you a drink yet?”
My friend totally does that to me already. “Somebunny looks like she’s having a nice summer, James!” Ha. Oh funny.
34. When people at work break out their kid/baby pictures, you break out your bunny pictures….and the eye rolls you recieve are now at a minimum cause you’ve brought said bunny to work and they fell in love too!
35. You clean your bunny’s condo more than your own. ![]()
36.) Along the lines of bunnyisms…
You sing to your bunnies. And insert words to make each song more bunny friendly, like: (to the tune of “I’m just a little black raincloud” from Winnie the Pooh”
“I’m just a sweet little bun-bun,
Burrowing under the honey tree.
Only a sweet little bun-bun,
Pay no attention to little me.
Everybone knows that a bun-bun,
Doesn’t eat honey, no not a sip.
I’m just trolling around,
Under the ground,
Wondering who I should NIP!”
Or like I do with Pip: (think Song of the South)
“PIPitty-doo-dah, Pipitty-ay!
My oh my, what a BUNderful day!
Plenty of BUNshine, coming my way,
PIPitty-doo-da, Pippity-ay!”
Either these or I sometimes sing the theme from Miffy & Friends and insert Mimzy’s name instead.
(gets stares from everyone)
Okay…I think I’ve capped the crazy list! 0_o
NO I do this too! If bunnies could roll their eyes…
Here are two of my favs…
“Layla, got me on my knees, Layla. Beg your bunny please, Layla. Darlin’, won’t you ease my bunny mind.”
“Dear Prudence, won’t you come out and play. Dear Prudence, great the brand new day! The bun is up, the sky is blue, it’s beautiful and so are you”
34. you go out shopping just because you want to do something for yourself and return with new bunny bowls, a dozen rugs for the cage and fun new things for the bun to chew lolz
Oops that should be 37 sorry, didnt see the second page, why do you edit?
lolz….I hear that with my bad ear! I have a monumentous stock of bunny bowls and sippy bottles….hay mangers they never use…tiles for keepign cool that they try to eat….you name it, I have some lame excuse for buying it! ^_^
Edit button is on your post on the right hand side. ![]()
I love your guys’ bunny songs! LOL!
![]()
I do the Layla song too, exactly the same!
38. Home improvement no longer means your home, and you spend every weekend at a home improvements store looking for that perfect addition to your bunnies condo…in matching colours.
39. You try to cultivate the perfect grass, and selectively grow your bunnies favourite plants.
40. You spend an entire weekend neglecting to clean your house or do your laundry because you are building the perfect NIC condo for your baby bunny boys.
41. You smile and think your torn up knuckles, the blood blister on your pointer finger, and the blisters on your thumbs from the 170 zip ties you used to keep the new condo together are completely worth it when you watch your baby bunnies binky in their new cage.
I had so many blisters after building Charlie & Laylas’ NIC condos & the cuts on my hands are only just healing! I think I’m scarred for life and I don’t mind.
A few months ago I was driving in the burbs when I caught sight of a girl sitting on a grass patch off a laneway near the freeway. She was reading a book and had a little pet carrier next to her. I seriously had to talk myself out of exiting the freeway, hooking back to where she was to go have a nosey; I was so convinced she had a bun in that carrier! She would have thought I was total weirdo. However, if there really was a bun in there, she’d understand right!
Oh I have a couple (oops jsut realized I REALLY mis-numbered mine):
Of the of photos prominently displayed on your desk at work, the rabbits have more and are in the largest frames!
When you get ready to go on vacation the first thing you do is take care of bunny-sitting before you book your flight.
42. When your bun is tired of taking her meds, so you cut it up even smaller and do surgery on some very small raisins to get all the pieces inside of only 2 of them. You pull out the stand with the alligator holding clips and stationary magnifiying glass, pull of your computer tools and operate on the little buggers to hide the medicine completely out of sight.
and then hide around the corner on your knees so you can see if she eats it.
43. you spend a whole saturday re-arranging a perfectly organised bunny house because you feel there is always a way to improve >.<
Yea I do sometimes “try” to do binkies with Fern…
44. You give up the majoriy of your bedroom for your Bunnies Pen and Cage!
45. You feel guenuinely offended when your bunny flicks their feet at you or gives you the stink eye, You give many head pats and give a few pellets as a treat to make up for it.
Oh! I have another one!
46. You don’t want to go on any vacations anymore because that would mean leaving your bun behind.
47. When you go to college you plan to rent a apartment with someone because bunnies are not allowed in the doorms.
48. When your bunny flicks you off, you automatically assume you’ve done something wrong.
49. if you get stink eye for doing something you NEED to do like sweeping up stray poops or moving your bun because you need to dust there or something you feel REALLY bad, and you end up giving treats and cuddles even though it was for their own good lol
