        This couple brings their bunny with them EVERYWHERE – she’s been to Hawaii, DC, Niagra Falls, and Rhode Island just to name a small handful (she’s been to ALL of the northeast!).

         

        You may need myspace to view the pictures, but I’ll post a few in a couple minutes for those who don’t have one.

              Yeah, looking through all the pics, I think the bunny might have a bigger wardrobe than I do.

                    uh. that is one PO’ed bunny. she looks angry in pretty much every pic. but i do respect their commitment… i wonder how she travels… on plane? thanks for posting this. it’s interesting. i got a giggle outta the Falls pic and the ocean pic was pretty. i’ll bet this all changes when/if they have children.

                      Yea she does look pretty PO’d.  I wonder if she enjoys these trips as much as her humans do?

                        i did think she looked annoyed, but then i thought maybe its because of the way she is being held up in the pictures rather than her not actually being happy, i think she must be well cared for if her owners bother to take her here there and everywhere so i think generally she must be a happy bunny, plus those pictures could be taken over a 10 year period for all we know, it could be like a journey a year or whatever

                          I guess the timestamp could be wrong, but judging by that this was all a bit cross country trip.  I am sure that she is well taken care of but I have to wonder how well she travels…that seems like alot of upset for a bun but I guess she’d get used to it.  And the way she’s on some of those walls over water?  Oh my just looking at those just about gives me a heart attack. I’m too much of a worry wort with that kind of thing.  Even with the leash…yikes!  And holding her by a busy highway?  I don’t care even the most docile of buns could get spooked and jump away.  Accidents happen but again..I’m a worrier!!

                            i guess even if she doesnt liek the travelling much, she is still better of than a hutch bunny.

                              The sweater and scarf ensemble is pretty darling…the pink rain suit made me almost fall off my chair laughing!!!!

                              Is it really fair to bring a bunny to all those noisy places? I guess, maybe the bunny would adjust after a while? There is NO way Stormy or Olivia would enjoy a life like that. Bindi would be the travel bunny of my three, I think.

                              Bunnies in weddings??? How cute! Hmmm, lets start planning mine: Oivia – Flower Girl, Bindi Loo- Ringbearer ( I could tie it to his ear) and Stormy would be best man (cuz he’s the oldest boy)

                                Wow! LOL. I think she just is one of those rabbits that looks POed at everything, hehe…

                                  And I thought Cotton liked to go places.  Gee this bun has been everywhere.   You know that Johnny Cash song   I”ve Been Everywhere”  HEhee.

                                  That song should be devoted to Bunny.

                                  Yeah at first bun looked angry but maybe cause was being held.  It seems alfer on bun got used to the photo shoots bun doesn’t look as angry. Those outfits sure are something.  And sitting on the White House Lawn. Gosh I bet she is the only pet bun that can say that. How cute.

                                    it might have been a combo of how it was being held and the noise. the sides of a highway are very noisy with all the cars rushing past. i’d be nervous, let alone holding a bunny. i’m not criticising her at all, i do agree it’s better than a bun who gets forgotten in a hutch with inadequate care… i kinda hope this was a one-time trip and they don’t do this all the time.

                                      From what I got from the myspace pictures and timeline it looked like it was all one big trip.  SO, I mean if you’re gonna do the trip better to have the bun go along for the ride rather then being left somewhere!!   I would have just been scared to have her out on those highways!

                                        Reminds me of the traveling gnome statue. remember that?

                                        How on earth did they get it to stand still at the beach??? With the wave coming in like that??

                                        It’s gotta be on heavy meds or something…poor bunny.

                                            I think the bunny was mostly a bit irked about being held… there’s pics in the car and at home and on the ground where her ears are up and she looks content.

                                             

                                            She also seems to kind of look naturally pissed haha

                                                  I think that these pictures are so adorable.  The bunny is probably just naturally docile.  Some animals are, you know.  And she has probably been treated like such an important unit of the family for so long that it is nothing.  I highly doubt that these people drugged their rabbit.  Come on now.

                                                    awe from these pics buns eyes just naturally bug out. ehheee.  Ears back means happy and content you know. Cotton does just fine traveling. So you know I bet this bun was ok with it too. I have heard of buns that travel with no problems and eat and drink normally the whole time.  That bun must be really really attached to his people too.

                                                    I am thinking of taking Cotton to the beach today. We can walk there.

                                                      i would imagine the bunny doesnt mind the travelling or they wouldnt be doing it, i cant see the same people who want their bunny at their wedding also dont care for its wellbeing, i reckon its having a great time.

                                                        Okay guys, I was being facetious…lolz. Hard to convey that online.

                                                        I have had animals that won’t get into a car unless they have something to calm them down. And I also have ones who can’t wait for you to get the door open so they can go with you. My bunnies do not fall into that category.

                                                        The hubby was going to the store down the street and thought he’d take the outdoor cat with him, as she got into the car willingly. But she began freaking out about halfway down the road and he had to come back. Before he got her to the driveway however, she’d come up to him and very lovingly peed down his arm. ^_^
                                                        She doesn’t go on short trips anymore.

                                                        I just can’t imagine how they got that bun to hold still in that beach photo. It blows my mind! I would guess it’s used to being held, and yes, the eyes do seem to just look naturally disapproving-what bun’s don’t?- as well as taking vacations with them. Gotta envy that.
                                                        I don’t know what I am going to do if I ever have to go somewhere I can’t take my buns with me. Just not go I guess.

                                                        And yes…adorable bunny. Disapproving or not, those eyes really latch onto you and make you look. Is it a Netherland Dwarf? I didn’t know those came in Ruby Eyed White.

                                                            After taking Lizzy for trips 1.5 hours in either direction, I KNOW I wouldn’t torture either her or me by taking her on a road-trip, unless I had to! She really does love nosing around new places, like hotel rooms, but she gets WORSE the more I take her on car trips! The first time I took her, she was more pissed at being locked up than scared. Now she trembles. This last trip, she THUMPED! Lizzy has NEVER thumped before! Poor pampered princess..

                                                            I’m with the worry-warts. Bunny on edge of Niagra falls = bad news and scariness!

                                                            But that bun does look annoyed, regardless, so maybe she doesn’t mind trips any more than she minds anything else…I just know Lizzy would hate it. (I tried one of those bunny-harnesses on her before our last trip…she acted like the apocolypse had come, and didn’t speak to me for days. Never repeating THAT! She’s condemned to be an indoor bunny forever, now!)
