  I found this online and thought it would be a neat thing to share!
  
  According to this my Peter is almost old enough to drink! (he will be in 2 weeks!) And Tilly already is!

  That would make all of mine 27 people years old. Doesn’t fit. Kieko is definitely the opinionated high school 16 year old girl. Moshi is more like a 12 year old boy. Marlee, somewhere between a 5 year old girl who doesn’t get her way and a spoiled rotten prom queen. None of them have jobs, clean up after themselves, or have the maturity to take turns, so definitely not 27!

  hehe. Well, JR. They do say that you’re only as old as you feel, right?

  You don’t know how many times Kieko has scared me to death thinking she was sick and had head tilt only to realize she was just craning her neck to try to see and hear what was going on in the hallway! Doesn’t even try to hide that she’s being nosy!

  I shouldn’t laugh, but I can just picture you walking past the hall and Kieko doing a dramatic head-tilt, thinking she was being real smart about eavesdropping, only to get startled because she makes you panic a moment… I’m sure you probably get the same incensed huff from her that I get from Pete whenever you interrupt her current planned activity or nosiness! lol

  Both guesses….Pumpkin 27 and Shamrock 33.
  
  I think Shamrock acts his age, he’s much more polite than Pumpkin. Pumpkin fits in with Marlee though.

  Cottontail — yes, Kieko is definitely my grunt bunny (like Tilly, Marlee is my thump bunny)!

  Roxi is around 21 and Lionel is the average middle-aged man.
  Seems pretty accurate!

  YEP! I always said that Lionel was that laid back middle aged dude!!!
  
  Well it’s good to know Henry is 27 and not underage – the hubby reckons he drinks like me when I open a bottle of wine…. tink tink tink tink tink tink tink! At the time I wasn’t sure whether to be offended or proud??? DOH!
  
  Lol!

  Yes Diva definitely describes Pumpkin! I think we created that monster though….
  
  Hubby made a comment that Shamrock listens to a sharp “no!” way better than Pumpkin. I said that’s cuz she knows she can do what she wants and hubby will forgive her cuz he’s wrapped around her tiny little paw!

  I yell NO at Henry – he pricks his ears forward, looks at me and keeps on going, DAM bunny! He makes me get up before he goes ‘bugga, she’s being serious!’ and runs off! I really really really hate that!

  Kieko actually listens to “no” most of the time. Moshi ignores it (can’t hear) even though “no” comes with me thumping my hand. Marlee pouts and gives the bunny butt when told no, then goes right back to whatever she wasn’t supposed to be doing.

  Moxie knows I am serious when I say “NO” *and* get up. Then she’ll play a game, hide and then zoom as quickly as she can and do what she’s not supposed to do and then zoom away.

  Pete will listen to “no” most of the time, but he lets you know he’s unhappy about it. He’ll do the slow-motion stopping whatever he’s doing and slowly turn his head to look at you, lay an ear back, and huff. Sometimes I even get the bunny-butt or foot-kick! If he thinks he’s where I can’t reach him he’ll keep doing it, and then usually do it more furiously as if to show me that “I’m not the boss of him.” He has learned that the water bottle can reach him though, and he’ll stop, huff, and glare at it if he sees it.
  
  Tilly just acts like she can’t hear you most of the time.. or she’ll perk her ears and ignore you. If you approach her to stop her she comes charging at you expecting love and treats, and if she doesn’t get them she goes back to digging, tossing or shredding whatever it was until she gets her head rubs or treats. She’s a pretty good girl, though. She’s just happy and unphased by being reprimanded.

  My buns are 4ish and 8ish in human years, I think. Not really sure since they are rescues, but that is the vets best estimate.
  
  As for “no” – Powder used to listen to no every time. Then he got married (bonded) to Stickers. Now, he won’t listen til I get up. And Stickers won’t listen til I get up, go over to her and push her away… then she only listens for half a second and goes right back as soon as my back is turned!

  Mr Roger was ‘3’ when we adopted him in November/December, but we don’t know 3 and how many months so he’s between 33 and 39 – a good bit older than both of us. Lazy git only ever contributes to the mess and not to the chores, too!

  According to this Bramble will be 21 at the end of the month – doesn’t seem quite right to me as he behaves much more like a hyperactive one year old most of the time and a huffy teenager the rest of the time. He is cute though so he gets away with most of it, he does this whole one lopped ear sad face thing when he gets in trouble and he is instantly forgiven (most of the time)
