  I don’t know if it is the new house, but Coffeebean has been getting more blazen with his requests for attention. Two days ago he came up behind me and tried to take a chunck out of my shoe (while I’m wearing it). Then he’s been nipping at my jeans, while I’m wearing them (he usually reserves that behavior for when they don’t make it into the laundry basket). Just now, he bit the top of my BARE FOOT. OWW! Now he is back, attacking my jeans and and running to hide under the chair. I don’t think I like this new game.

  LOL. Sorry, just been there, done that.
  
  You probably have a new smell from outside that makes you either really tasty or really offensive. The seasons are changing outside so it’s likely that something got on your shoes, jeans, toes, hair, carpet, bunny. Or he’s just more comfortable with you and the new house (it happens gradually) and is letting loose a bit.
  
  Squeal high pitched when he bites your toes. He’ll know it means he’s hurt you and will probably stop.

  I wish I could know what it is like to have a good bunny. I’ve never had one. Mine recently started a new game of stealing whatever she can reach off of the coffee table. Last night it was a box of kleenex and she obliterated a couple of them before my husband finally noticed. I was cleaning out her cage, so he was supposed to be watching her. Hahaha yeah… supposed to be. That means he finally looked up from the tv and calls out, “Honey, why does the rabbit have a tissue box?” *headdesk*

  It is Momo’s way of saying the following: “I needed to wipe my nose like a proper lady,” or “I thought you wanted me to help you clean slave.”

  Just be thankful you have never experienced being sprayed in the face while you were sleeping. Ughhhhh, well at least that was a simple neutering issue! I could only imagine right now what types of smells we are bringing into the home now, here is Cali it was 90 degrees last week and right now it’s thundering and raining like heck. What gives?!!??!?!?!

  Ahhhh all these stories make my little mogwai (from gremlin movie, Wilbur reminded a friend of it because of her attitude/crazyness) seem like a saint! Getting peed on the face, especially while sleeping, has to be the worst…bleh ):
