… you take all the shredded paper from your office to donate to the shelter buns.
… you have ugly rubber-backed mats in your hallways for bunny 500’s
… your fridge always has a vase full of herbs

…you browse craft stores for wicker basket that are safe to eat.

-You don’t like your job, but you sure like taking your job’s cardboard that is about to go into recycling
-On your work time, you look at the willow baskets and put ’em aside to buy on break (GUILTY)
-You buy a head of romaine for bunny, you buy a BAG of cut romaine for yourself
-When talking about your bunny, you say “My baby” “My little girl” “My daughter.”
-You go everywhere to find the PERFECT HAY for the PICKIEST BUNNY (That was me recently)
-You get psyched when the mailman leaves a box.. full of toys for bunny
-Your boyfriend understands that ‘slave’ needs to let the ‘baby’ out, or else.

Love your bun’s picture, Zeus has a similar pose!

 

I totally fell in love with Zeus just from that picture.

and

…you carefully bag the carrot tops in the grocery store, because that’s the most important part of the carrot.

… you go to three different stores to get the appropriate veggies from each
… your co-workers write ‘for Donna’s rabbits’ on cardboard you’ve asked them to save, without you telling them it was for them
… your husband extended the car hire so you could go pick up the bunny in comfort
… there is a box at work with your name on it, and everyone put the cardboard innards from the rolls of labels in it
… when the Farrow & Ball delivery arrives, the warehouse man reminds the replen who gets it to save the bunny tunnels
… you can tell what’s being chewed just by the sound

You cover your living room floor with pages out of the phone book.

Oh wait, I didn’t do that – the rabbits did that.

My latest one was – when you are in a public food market and, while waiting for your meal to be made, you notice another booth and head over and ask them if they are going to throw out those 20 pounds of carrot tops and peelings.

-fight everyday with your parents because you want bunnies to live INSIDE
-Don’t put dressing on your salad so you can share..
-A dried fruit addiction grows on you…
-you go out to the garage in freezing cold temperatures in shorts because your babies need their veggies and hay
-Buy another SD card because your bunny picture folders have over 300 pictures in them…
-Spend ever dollar you make on them..
shall i continue?

-the only healthy thing you buy is lettuce and it’s all for your rabbit. lol
-you pick up and move things so that your bunny can get to their favorite spots. And/or you move things that are in their way for them.
-you sit down with them and explain that you are going to be leaving for vacation and such and such is taking care of them and to be good

-you spend more time decorating your bunny’s room than your own
-you spend more time making sure your bunny has a good hair day than yourself
-when you say “good morning” to your bunny before your boyfriend -.-

Feed buns first thing when I get up.          Give the buns their salads b4 us.

Always speak kindly to the bunnies.   Talk loud at hubby.

-You want to rig up cameras so you can watch your bunnies while at work.   heh heh

…You buy uncommon veggies at the grocery, such as dandelion greens, and the cashier asks you what it is and how you prepare it. You answer that it’s for your rabbit.

…You get up in the middle of the night, sometimes multiple times, because your bunny is telling you that he wants more hay or water.

…Your house has multiple area rugs and “decor” to cover areas around the house where somebunny pulled up the carpet when he was younger.

…Your first major loan is going toward recarpeting your parents’ HUGE house for the above (ouch… two stories and like 2000 sq ft >_<).

…Part of your interior decorating includes edible grass mats.

…You bought your father a $100 electronics gift card (a lot for poor Rachel) for Christmas this year to make up for cords bitten in the past (Frankie’s never bitten through my laptop power supplies, but he’s done it to my dad’s work laptop mutliple times. Not to mention the surround sound system in the living room…)

…You ask vendors at farmers markets if they want their carrot tops while you’re looking around.

…You cringe and debate over spending $50 on yourself for something, but will drop at least as much on bunny toys/treats/supplies without a second thought.

…Your house guests sometimes eat the bunny’s salad because it’s such a fancy mix.

…You wear black all the time, but most of your clothes have nice, furry golden accents

…New guests look at the litterbox in your dining room funny and you have to explain that it is for your pet rabbit. They then look at you even funnier when they see you pick up stray poos with your bare hands at some point during the visit.

…When you answer the door for solicitors, you often have to explain that you have to block the doorway awkwardly because you have a pet bunny that might try to sneak outside to eat the roses. Or they see the bunny start to walk up, then go off about how cute it is and how funny it is that it’s just running around the house (I’ve even had many solicitors ask to come in and pet him).

I could seriously keep listing stuff for hours.

When you find hay in your hair.

…and you don’t really care.

Hay in the laundry is normal.

Hay appearing in dinner is normal too.

The bunnies “space” takes up more than half of the apartment.

yeah i’ve come to work with hay in my hair before. wouldn’t care ‘cept work with a bunch of construction dudes. leaves you open to too many off-colour comments about rolling in the hay

— the cashier asks how to prepare collard greens and you say its for my rabbits.
— every thing you see in the store looks like something you could use for your rabbits, ‘hmmmm that looks like a cool hay rack” mom rolls her eyes lol.
— wants to yell at the pet store when you see a pet not being cared for properly but can’t cuz they think your just a “kid”.
— could argue for hours with your sister about how rabbits should be kept indoors.
— take all the empty boxes from the grocery store.

-All the pictures in your cubicle are of your bunnies and you even have a rabbit calendar.
-All of your co-workers know the names of your bunnies and ask how they are doing rather than asking about your significant other.
-Your mom and other family members buy veggies especially for your buns to eat (and not you).
-You randomly find a piece of poop in the cup holder in your car.
-The first thing you do when you come home from work is feed your buns instead of going to the bathroom or changing your clothes.

EDIT: You made a calendar comprised of pictures of your bunnies and give them out to your friends and family because you think that they’d love to look at pictures of your buns everyday too.

Love it. 

YEs i do that.    Feed the buns first when I come in the door. 

People ask me about my buns then hubby

I have black pants with white hair all over them.  

you have chewed up boxes toilet paper rolls willlow huts grass huts litterboxes cages   2 big hay containers and a litter container in the living room and thats not all of it

4 more big containers of hay in the bedroom.

Yes it is true the rabbits have taken over the living room ,   bedroom 

– you used to collect sheep things, but now you’re a bunny collector because all your friends and coworkers give you bunny themed gifts.
– My experience just today: went to 2 stores to find a box made of something sturdy and natural to build into a platform.
– didn’t find one to buy, so cruised grocery store looking suspicious while sizing up boxed items costing over $30 because they looked sturdy. (Can use a second crock pot?)
– Grocery store employee asks to help, and lights up when hearing it’s for a bunny. She had a REW at home. Immediately ran in back to get a free wooden crate they had from deliveries of peas to give for my bunny.
– Advised same sweet grocery store girl to get her bunny to a vet to be sexed and arrange a speuter for its health. Swapped bunny names, not ours.
– Got 2 yards of 100% cotton baby felt at fabric store with tiny sheepies so can wash first felt and swap out with new one.
– apartment beginning to resemble barn, but barns are neater.

I also prepare Mr. Bun-Bun’s breakfast salad before I’ve had my first cup of coffee in the morning.
I search the laundry for poos before putting it in the wash. I’ve sent poos through the wash, and oddly enough they’re exactly the same even after washing.
I talk to Mr. Bun-Bun in a baby voice even more ridiculous than the baby voice reserved for the cats, at risk of sounding completely mental to the neighbors.

Off rabbit topic, but still on topic as a crazy pet person – my friend had a dream that she visited my apartment, and I had 22 cats and converted my entire apartment into a litter box, and would rake the poop out every evening. Yes, even my friend’s subconscious brain thinks of me as a crazy pet person. Hmmm.

…you feel guilty when you eat your own lettuce, as if it doesn’t belong to you.

– when you walk in the warehouse at work, and two members of staff have a massive cardboard box set up as a new bunny house. And they’re serious. (Yep, happened today. They were dead upset I couldn’t carry it all the way home.)

Rabbit Pam LOL! I love running into other people that have bunnies! It is a random occurance that I wish was more common!

-I asked a lady what she was going to use the willow baskets she was purchasing for..

“For my rabbits veggies.”

“OMG REALLY?!?!?! I have a bunny too and mine loves willow baskets!!”

…You cringe and debate over spending $50 on yourself for something, but will drop at least as much on bunny toys/treats/supplies without a second thought.

LOL Been wearing the same jacket (though I like it) since pre-bunnies. I used to be fashion queen, now I’m in sweats dropping no less then 60$ everytime I walk in a pet store . I live by petsmart and work by G&E

You spent enough to buy a running vehicle (not new!!) every year at the vet office since owning bunnies, but just saw a doctor for the first time in 12 years yourself! (And it’s free in canada lol!)

You spent hours in a greenhouse picking out bunny edible flowers to grow in a silly window box because you live in an apartment and want to grow some food for your bunnies.

You carry a laminated (sorry work!) list of bunny safe foods in your purse.

You have two sets of towels-one for bunnies, one for people

You bought a three bedroom place so the bunnies could have their own room (and spent weeks picking out flooring for them, made the guys install it first)

you have a first aid kit for the bunnies complete with everything. You don’t have bandaids for yourself. You had to borrow their neosporin when you cut your foot this morning!

You see your old boss at an xmas lunch…she says ‘so how many bunnies do you have now?’

You shop at a grocery store because they have the BEST bunny produce (selection and freshness) then the closer more convenient one.

You very likely murdered your washing machine with hay and poop. The new front loader digital LG is likely being poisoned in the same fashion.

Your car air is not working that well. You sic boyfriend on said car to fix it. he pulls out air filter and finds it’s full of bunny poo! How could that even happen??

Your rabbits have not one but TWO closets for their ‘stuff’

You toodled into a pet store on lunch break while snowed in at work and just picked up 8 new pet beds in case they’d like them….you still do not have a new winter jacket and you live in edmonton and the zipper is now broken.

You drive home on edmonton roads every day at lunch, though your break is only 30 minutes and you only get five with the drive, just to check on your bunnies and give them some treats.

K&K   I do have 2 sets of towels

1 bunch for us humans

another bunch for bunnies to lie on put in their pet carrier and cover their cages real good in winter.

this post is so exciting to read.

-You want to rig up cameras so you can watch your bunnies while at work.   heh heh

LOL!! you have no idea a how bad I want to do this as well

-upon getting your new apartment, you go to the carpet store and ask for all the scrap pieces so you can make a nice padded area for the buns…

-you say “bye, be good” to them everytime you leave the house and “hi guys!” everytime you walk back in.

-you sit down and have a serious talk with them after they chew up your curtain, even though you’re 99% sure they can’t understand you (I like to keep that 1% of hope that they can. mwahaha)

-the people at the pet shop know your name, and your bunnies names, because you’re there at least twice a week.

-you leave the christmas tree on at night, despite however much your PG&E bill may cost, because “they like it….” 

-when you are running a couple hours late, you worry about whether your bunnies are okay because the lights are off and they’re not getting their parsley on time… haha.

-you say “bye, be good” to them everytime you leave the house and “hi guys!” everytime you walk back in

I tell Lolli to be good every time I leave too! Or if I’m just going down to the mail box, I tell her that.

And when I was gone for my surgery, I left a lamp on so she wouldn’t be in darkness at night. lol (My mom came every day to take care of her, so leaving a lamp on was fine.) I was originally going to buy a timer.

– You tell them good girl or boy when they listen to you and tell them thank you for listening. I do this all the time when Lolli tries to go some place she’s not allowed and listens when I tell her to come out. lol

JERSEY! — gosh! Ok then… You know you’re a rabbit person when you want to put mirrors strategically around the house so that you can see your buns around 3 corners no matter what room you are in!

Ok I love this thread, because someone mentioned finding hay in their hair earlier (don’t remember who)… I thought “ha ha exaggeration.”
Today, working at the clinic, I looked in the bathroom and pulled a big piece of hay out of my hair. This is bizarre because 1. I washed my hair this morning! and 2. I did not clean the bunny cage this morning! Just fed him and gave him water… my head was nowhere near any source of hay.

Oh dear. I guess I’m glad to finally join the ranks of “hardcore” people with hay-strewn hair!

When you’ve had permanently runny eyes since your bun came to live with you because you get hayfever and end up on permanent antihistamine Your friends ask about Babs before you You run into the syore to get hay costing say £5 and ed up spending £40 odd!!!!!!!

Frankie gets a lot of  ”Excuse me, sir. Is there something you’d like?” when he gets in my way, pesters me, or stares.

Posted By bunnnnnnie! on 12/16/2010 09:51 AM  

When I admitted to my fiance that I buy groceries based on the box shape and size he really heckled me for it!

             LOL…hey, he can just see who will be wearing the pants in the family. ^_^ Even my hubby knows that the ‘other men’ in my life (Mimzy, Fiver, my cat Griff) have to take precedence.

            Let’s see…daughter just came up with this one:

            I am Fiver’s “bellhop”…because when he rings the bell in his toy ball, it means I need to hop to it and see what he wants!

            …or…your alarm needs to be set twice because you need to get up once extra to make sure bunny gets his morning feeding before you’re properly awake

             your bunnies supplies take up more room in your house than yours do…likewise your bunnies’ laundry gets done while yours sits in a smelly pile somewhere

             travel plans are nonexistent because you can’t think of leaving your bunnies for someone else to care for

             other people in the household often catch you singing silly little love songs to your bunnies

             you insist on ‘library voices’ around your bunnies, so none of them get startled or spooked

             the thermostat must be bunny friendly at all times

             EDITED TO ADD: Oh…and only ONE bunny calendar? I have no less than three posted in my home at any one time. ^_^ (this is not counting the random bunnies in my desktop cuteness overload calendar)

I’m finding rabbit poop in your car’s AC filter pretty funny! Do you toss the litter box contents out in the dark K&K?

@ angie-la, I added the camera thing really to tease another member *coughkafrncough* but I’d probably do it if I had the means. Actually, I may be arranging to do more work from home so I don’t have to leave them. lol I also make sure I see where both of them are and say good-bye before I leave the house. btw, how do you pronounce “Rorschach”?

@Kafrn,

That would probably be ROAR-shock, Jerz. It’s the name of those funny inkblot tests they used to use for judging IQ centuries ago. And an excellent bunny name, imo.
Okay…a camera to watch bunny with is all very well…(I can imagine exactly how frantic I would be to be watching the vid-cam and see bunny getting into trouble miles away where I can’t stop him/her)…but who telephones home to whoever is watching bunny and asks them to put the phone to your rabbits’ ears so you can say hello? ^_^

MM, that is totally something I would do. When I first moved down here, every time I called my mom, she would hold the phone up to my kitty Neko so I could talk to her and hear her purr at me She knew my voice

You know you are a crazy rabbit lady when this is the only thing you accomplished at work today:

And to modify these boxes, we also had tof ind a place for the 1400 forks

@ Jersey:

your coworker remarks that you have more video of you bunny (that you’ve only had since Oct) than she has of her 3 1/2 yr old twins!

yep the silly love songs      guilty

hubby gets upset with me sometimes    he says I have 2 faces    one for bunnieis   another for him.        translation          I never yell at them but yell at him.

or I treat them better than him.     thats not good for a marriage folks.     I have been nicer to hubby since he said that though

It makes sense to treat the rabbits better than your husband. I’ve always loved animals more than people, it makes sense.
One thing that’s annoying is when people say “ha ha, are you going to eat your rabbit?” (stupid comment that we don’t have to deal with when we have cats and dogs as pets.) I always say, “yes I am, right after you eat your own children.” Same thing! I have no human kids, the rabbit and cats ARE my children!

Definitely makes sense. Animals don’t understand things the way humans do, so there is no point in yelling at them.

Maya, HOW HILAROUS

I’m not sure if I posted this but, after my friend’s bunny Ernie passed away, I went to the store to buy a yellow rose for him (he was full of life and a crazy bunny). The guy at the register asked what it was for and I said “My friend’s bunny. He passed away.” He said back to me,”Well, your friend could always eat him.”

I did not say anything, but gave him a dirty look. I was in no mood to fight with a stupid, inconsiderate butthead.

I hate the “you should eat your rabbit jokes.” Perhaps, we should all say “I will eat your kid first.”

Oh Maya…I am going to remember that one. Although there are people in Alaska who will raise rabbits for such things, I don’t appreciate it and the next person who comments in that fashion is going to get that comeback right between the eyes!
Seriously. I had a siggy when I first came here that said, “All animal life looks to us for protection, how can we bear to be it’s predators?” It was quoted from a spiritual teacher in one of my vegetarian cookbooks.

MB, I just knew you would be using the phone to talk to the furbabies! ^_^ I know it may seem silly to other people, but I can’t imagine it’s not beneficial to the animal to hear your voice if they can’t see you. Perhaps they just believe you are somewhere else in the house?

And I’ll phone them in public too. I won’t crawl into a corner so people don’t stare at me talking gibberish to my bunny…lol.

Ha ha! You guys have no idea! After 17 years of being a vegetarian I’ve heard it all. Oddly enough all the confrontation comes from other people, I rarely try to push my beliefs on other people directly and don’t dwell on it much (it’s been so long, it’s just a part of my life that I don’t question at all.)

Tonight one of my friends who’s a manager at a restaurant posted a picture of what she was eating, rabbit  It’s actually a really good restaurant with a great prix fixe vegetarian menu, run by one of the Top Chef contestants (Dale Levitski). If they didn’t serve rabbit it would be my favorite restaurant. Under her picture I posted, “I am going to feed my rabbit human flesh in retribution.” I try not to shove my beliefs in others’ faces, but now that I’m in love with Mr. Bun-Bun I take it personally  He’s the best!

AND speaking of spoiling our bunny babies, Mr. Bun-Bun is going to get his first bale of hay for Christmas in a few days, when I drive up to Wisconsin! He has no idea what’s coming his way… it’s going to be quite the surprise

Ok I love this thread, because someone mentioned finding hay in their hair earlier (don’t remember who)… I thought “ha ha exaggeration.”
Today, working at the clinic, I looked in the bathroom and pulled a big piece of hay out of my hair. This is bizarre because 1. I washed my hair this morning! and 2. I did not clean the bunny cage this morning! Just fed him and gave him water… my head was nowhere near any source of hay.

Oh dear. I guess I’m glad to finally join the ranks of “hardcore” people with hay-strewn hair!

Exactly-that’s what is so hard core-it’s not like we’re cleaning cages in the am…a quick peek and out the door…no need to have to be stopped by the secretary and preened LOL

your bunnies supplies take up more room in your house than yours do…likewise your bunnies’ laundry gets done while yours sits in a smelly pile somewhere

OI here here!!

I’m finding rabbit poop in your car’s AC filter pretty funny! Do you toss the litter box contents out in the dark K&K?

ridiculous hey? I’ve shook a few towels on the way home from the vet on the floor otherwise makes no more sense then poopies in the window sill (of the house that is)

I hate the “you should eat your rabbit jokes.” Perhaps, we should all say “I will eat your kid first.”

“oohh” *blushes* “I only eat baby humans” *turns and struts off seriously”

Hehehe

Ha ha! You guys have no idea! After 17 years of being a vegetarian I’ve heard it all. Oddly enough all the confrontation comes from other people, I rarely try to push my beliefs on other people directly and don’t dwell on it much (it’s been so long, it’s just a part of my life that I don’t question at all.)

Crazy-we’re tied! And I’ve found the same-peopel say weird things like ‘oh I’m eating a steak you have a problem with that?” and yet I’ve never asked anyone to give up anything..I think deep down those rude people who push just feel bad eating meat and the best defense is a good offense you know? I’ve never judged anyone for eating meat (my family does and Dave is a certified meatatarian) so I know it’s not me causing that reaction. I also avoid eating in public so I don’t have to explain why I’m not eating what they are. However of course there are open minded people who are just like ‘I don’t even like meat, I’m a vegetarian now’ which is cool

@Kokaneeandkahlua yes, I agree that people who criticize vegetarians are often people who feel conflicted about eating meat and are trying to make themselves feel better. It’s pretty easy to be a veg now (although not a vegan, I’ve done that for short spells and it’s just too difficult. I was starving constantly no matter how much I ate.) Lots of veg restaurants, at least in cities, and even meat-heavy restaurants like steakhouses have veggie options. Even though I haven’t pressured people too much a lot of people around me eat less meat, my parents stopped eating red meat altogether. My dad bought a BMW a few years ago, his first fancy car, and he custom-ordered it with PLASTIC interior seat covers, not leather… because of me and my sister. We didn’t even suggest that to him and don’t live with him anymore, he just thought of it on his own! LOL! Every little bit makes a difference

— You have small holes in your clothes but wear them anyways.

I think I have to side with Dave on this one >.> I could never not eat meat.

– You’re at the pet store so often, the manager asks if you want a job there (this actually happened to me!)

– Your hubby complains you take more time making supper for the rabbits.

– You’ve called in sick when your bunny was under the weather.

– The only designer purse you’ve ever owned has been “customized”

– You plan your social life around the bunnies’ schedule

– You have a Christmas box labelled “Bunny Decorations” which includes their tree and ornaments, stockings and little bunny sized decorative presents.

Posted By LittlePuffyTail on 12/22/2010 05:20 AM

– You plan your social life around the bunnies’ schedule

So true.

“9am? No, sorry. That’s right in the middle of my bun maintenance routine. I can’t possibly be there before 10.”

-Your Facebook profile pic is usually a bunny

-You have a fridge dedicated to veggies

-You have to warn visitors and family that they cannot set their purse on the floor or dining room furniture because your rabbit will steal out of it, and likely also bite holes into it where it smells like there might be a gum/mints/candy/snacks of any sort (or really good scented lip balm).

this list is too funny and yet all true!

I want to add here so bad… oh, I have one:
when you scrape away snow and ice in April to check if the grass is green yet underneath and to see where the dandelions are spreading nicely.

rofl   the dandelions are spreading nicely    yep

What I tell people who say umm rabbit stew       shame on you…………..

eating their kids   yep   that should do it.

“ha ha, are you going to eat your rabbit?” (stupid comment that we don’t have to deal with when we have cats and dogs as pets.)  “yes I am, right after you eat your own children.” Same thing! I have no human kids, the rabbit and cats ARE my children!

great one

i have this scenario at least once a day some times i swear.  i can usually quell my irritation and muster a mock “haha verrrry funny” but i like your idea much better.  i’m not vegitarian (well i was once but it only lasted a few months) but like you my rabbit and dog are my children.  people with children are very often dismissive about this and seem to put themselves on a higher pedestal because they have chosen to procreate.  as if i couldnt possible understand what its like to be a parent.  not ALL people with children do this but a shockingly high percentage i’d say.  i guess, like those quilty meat-eaters you speak of, they have to do this to make themselves feel better about the paths that they have chosen in life.  and its human nature to want to feel as part of a group so when some one is different its threatening.

well thats MY ramble of the day   off to pick up one more ‘last’ thing for the holidays!

Ugh, tell me about it. Whenever I post a fb status about the buns, the minister with our Wesley always makes a comment about eating them. I would LOVE to go off on him about it, but I have a leadership position and small scholarship with his organization that I would like to keep.

To contribute to the original topic of the thread – when you take your bunnies to see Santa!

-when 80% of the pictures in your “Mobile Uploads” folder on facebook are of your bunnies.

– You’ve called in sick when your bunny was under the weather.

Bahahahahaah Totally!!! And You know…people don’t go in when their kids are sick so I think it’s fair those of who don’t have two leggers can use our benefits as well lol

I have to stick my hand up and say I have no problem with meat eaters!!! We all choose and there is no right thing I think it’s wrong to say you don’t eat meat so they are wrong I don’t think sane vegetarians think that either-it’s a *personal* choice
But yeah-‘oh your not having kids’ ‘nope’ ‘but you will eventually right?”
Nope…like I didn’t mean ‘no I’m not with child at the moment but hope to be soon’ -like seriously not happening-the push to have kids is pretty crazy too!!!

Posted By angie-la on 12/23/2010 06:49 PM
-when 80% of the pictures in your “Mobile Uploads” folder on facebook are of your bunnies.

Yep, I can relate

– the pre-k kids in the class your rabbit is in go outside and pick dandelions and clover flowers just to feed them to her because you told them she loves them

– 80% of the pictures you have are of your bunny and everyone who knows you knows that

– Your rabbit has a nicer abode than you

– Your rabbit gets the best of the best and you’re just happy settling

– you show your bunnies your christmas presents. LOL

– you include your rabbit in opening Christmas presents by having her unwrap a present ( wrapped with newspaper of course! )

Your bunny’s have a cleaner room than you do (their garage is clean from top to bottem but my room is a mess unless they come in to play)

your christmas money goes towards paying for the bunny-sitter

-You have a fridge dedicated to veggies

                      AND clean, pre-filled sippy bottles, AND clean water crocks, AND freeze bottles for summer, AND that little container of pumpkin for your baby bun… so that none of these things are ‘contaminated’ by ‘human foodstuffs.’
