I’ve been allowing Mimzy more time out on the bed lately, as he’s not much of an explorer, but I want him to have time out of his night pen as much as possible. If I put him in the xpen in the kitchen, he just sulks in a corner until I put him back in his house.

So he’s been such a good bun…sits with me and actually bumps up against me now for cuddles…he almost did a flop into my side the other day! He has become a real snuggle bunny. And of course, the good thing about having him on the bed is he can ‘interact’ with Fiver a little bit. They mostly just sniff noses. (I keep a hold on Mimzy so nobunny can get a chunk out of the other one.)

Well today they got good scent of each other, then all of a sudden (even though I had the litterbox sitting right next to us) Mimzy turns around and starts to lift tail on the blanket! (under which I had a puppy wee pad for just such an occasion) Ahhhgghh! I pick him up and plop him in his box. He gets out…turns himself around again and tries again! I repeat the process. He gets out a third time and actually manages to leave a little puddle right on the edge of the pad…and in full view of Fiver who is just looking on with his usual bugged out expression.

Needless to say, Mimzy gets a firm “No! Bad bunny!” and I return him to his night pen. Cuddle session cut short by bad behavior.

Or was it? I’m thinking now he was just tyring to let Fiver know who was Boss Bun? (seeing as with Pip, he is definitely the henpecked husbun…you can just see “Yes, dear,” written on his forehead around her)

I wasn’t upset with him…these things happen. But I was kind of surprised as most times, he ignores Fiver and mostly just wants my attention. He knows darned well that if he pees anywhere but the litterbox he goes back to the night pen. It wasn’t a huge amount either, he just left a little ‘calling card’.

Silly bun.
