› FORUM › THE LOUNGE › Nominate best BB bunny slave 2010
*this is for fun*
I think it goes without saying that all the members on BinkyBunny.com are most diligent bunny caregivers, but who would you nominate to be the best this year, and why?
I nominate Karla because she is still at it with the bonding even though she has suffered setback after setback including injuries to herself.
Can we nominate multiple times?
I put in votes for Karla too, it’s been an up and down year for her. For many of our bunny slaves actually.
I’d like to nominate mocha200. In the space of this year she’s been able to negotiate with her parents to bring both rabbits to live indoors, had Lulu spayed, bonded Mocha and Lulu, helped build a great condo along with various NIC structures (lol). She she always making toys and improving things for them. Even growing food for them. I’ve been pretty impressed with her dedication.
Along with her, I’d like to nominate another of our younger members Mirbear. Despite parental challenges that makes it difficult, she has been able to keep both her rabbits with her and make the best of the situation. Actually one rabbit was her sisters who she has taken on I believe. Anyway, I admire her ongoing commitment.
OK, I may be over thinking this….
I bet there are many, many members who don’t post so often or are just readers that are worthy of nomination. Dedicated slaves, fosterers, rescue volunteers etc that we haven’t had as much interaction with unfortunately.
I’m just gonna nominate all the bunny slaves. ![]()
I also nominate Karla I would have given up long ago if I had that much trouble bonding!
But since I can’t just nominate just one person I nominate EVERYONE who has been an obedient and dutiful bunny slave =P
I nominate mocha200 for getting her parents to let her bunnies live inside and getting lulu spayed and bonding the two of them despite the difficulties she faced and the fact she is always trying to make her bunnies happier
(not that everyone isn’t trying to make their bunnies happier).
I nominate everyone that’s ever helped me become a better bunny slave!
I think we who are great bunny mommy and daddys know who we are, whether we’re nominated in a contest or not. All you great bunny mommy and daddy slaves tuning in hoping to see your name honored, consider yourselves nominated…by me!
I nominate the people who have taken care of multiple bunnies, the ones who accidentally found themselves parents of 10 bunnies instead of one, because they accidentally adopted a pregnant female, but then took responsiibility for all the babies and cared for them all!
I adopted Mr. Bun-Bun and probably burned through $500 in the first couple months, with the cage, getting him fixed, etc. And that’s just one rabbit! It’s so generous and wonderful to take care of a large, unexpected number of rabbits.
My friend is a vet and a lot of people put their pets down before it’s necessary, just because they can’t afford it. I hear about it all the time. People get sick of their pets and abandon them or try to give them away at the shelter. It’s really depressing. So for those people who are supporting the welfare of pets every step of the way… yay!
I asked Samantha to nominate me, but she said awards involved a ceremony and a party and I had to go to the fresh food market that night and then come straight home to clean her litter pan so I couldn’t be nominated. Sigh.
Psst! RP, word is that she emailed Petzy and actually has nom-nomim-nominated you. She just didn’t want you to know incase you got a big head. ~Whoops
yes, she emailed, but she seemed to have misunderstood the concept of this nomination. She thought it was about HER somehow. She said that herself is the best rabbit to make life very easy for her slave. She also said she was ready to receive any prize right away she may have been awarded…

You guys are so sweet! ![]()
I had actually thought about another type of nomination – best help we have received this year. Because here, I am in great debt to Petzy for helping me with the bonding (I always tell people about my Canadian mentor) and also JG for being such a web detective and being the one who suggested that Freddie has E. Cuniculi when the vets couldn’t find the cause. Without JG, Freddie would not have received treatment.
I’d like to nominate Sarita as bunny slave, because of all her caring for Pepe. Also, after having seen the thread about messy bunny areas, JG should really be nominated because I have never seen a bunny make such a big mess like Jersey does and you really have to be a big bunny slave to endure that LOL ![]()
oh, I can’t be nominated… because I started this thread…
yes, I will be your ‘mentor’ and I am far away enough that you may blame everything on me (when things don’t work and you get heat for it)
I nominate all the forum leaders for being ‘momma’ to us all!
and Sarita for all her help nursing the ill ones
and Petzy for the bonding lessons and patiently making video tapes of what she must think are the dumbest questions I ask, like How Do You Correctly Pet a Bunny?
and Jennifer most of all for provding this place for us!
I nominate everyone that has had to deal with ill bunnies, irritable bunnies, stinky bunnies, poop-war-starting bunnies, demanding bunnies, teenage bunnies, elderly bunnies, middle aged-about-to-have-midlife-crisis bunnies, bunnies that have passed on, bonding bunnies… you get the idea. Anyone that has ever dealt with a bunny being a bunny and not given up!

ROFLMAO!
Feeling the loooove.
This is like a delayed Thanksgiving.
I do want to ditto some of kralspaces comments. The FL’s have scheduled times to be on here, not just come on when you feel like it like the rest of us. And Jennifer!! I really missed her on the forums but her busyness and work is what allows the forums to be here.
Kral, I thought of your qu “how to correctly pet a bunny” the other day when I read Lola had passed. I am so glad you asked and were able to enjoy that with Lola! Questions are only ‘dumb’ if they’re not asked. i.e. dumb=mute.
Karla, I know you understand my frustration in Jerseys litter habits because Molly challenged you for a time. You can either try remedy it or live with it. There’s no other alternative in my mind – Jersey will stay with me. I thank members for putting up with my posting about it alot and trying to problem solve it. I warn you, I think I’m heading toward doing this again in the faint hope that I can solve it. Apologies in advance.
I love so many people on this site that it’s impossible to nominate just one! Just to name a few…
Brittany, for being such a sweet and supportive friend no matter what’s going on, even though she has so much on her own plate!
Lintini, who has been there for me through so many things, including staying up all night with me once when Momo wasn’t feeling good. She has been endlessly comforting and kind, and I’ll never forget it.
Jersey, who has given me incredible advice so many times I can’t count, and is only ever a bright, positive influence on everyone here!
MimzMum, MonkeyBun, and FluffyBunny, who have been so encouraging and whom I have always been able to count on for friendship and advice.
And everyone who responds to all of my silly posts with goofy pictures or weird stories. You all have helped me through so many things – the car accident, bunny worries, and all things both happy and sad.
I’m so thankful for you all
They’re also awesome bunny slaves too!! I didn’t want to miss the point of the post *completely* lol
thanks lizzie
i nominate everyone. i can’t just pin point one person. we all know the laughter and difficulties that come with having a rabbit.
bunnies change their slaves, i’ve come to find ![]()
Ahhh Lizzie that is so sweet, we did stay up till the crack of dawn didn’t we!!
You guys have all been great…helping me with the loss of my grandma which was a huge blow to me for pretty much an entire year (you poor ladies/men were probably so sick of hearing about it) …and then helping me just become a better bunny owner and stopping me from going crazy and adopting 20 rabbits. Sigh. It’s been great being a member here. And then being able to become close and send you guys jewelry and splitting bales of hay together?! Who would have thought!

Actually one rabbit was her sisters who she has taken on I believe. Anyway, I admire her ongoing commitment.
FIRSTLY i nominate mocha200 (someone message her and tell her to get her bunny-butt to this post) She’s been able to do alot more than me alot faster then i have, and has inspired me to not give up. she is also one of the most dedicated slaves i have had the pleasure to talk to. i know what its like to have a parent / parents who think their doing the right thing however are completely wrong. i admire her because she showed the strength , persistance, and courage to speek for the speechless, and make their lives better than most rabbits. Mocha and lulu are luck to have such a dedicated, loving and compassionate, bunny slave. Way to go Mocha200
and yes, Hershey originally belonged to my sister who would forget to feed her for weeks at a time and would scream at me if i “took over her bunny” and fed it
thankfully shes been in my care for almost 10 months now..

Alright I am here!
Thank you mirbear for all the kind words! I could not have done any of this with out BB, and all the great the people here! I love all of you so much even though I have never met you!
Mirbear I want to nominate you, because even though you can’t have your buns inside you have made there habitat
in the garage 100% better and you never stop trying!
I also want to nominate Petzy! She was so patient with me through the whole time I bonded my buns and even when I thought I should quit she encuraged me to keep trying. You have also helped me in so many other ways I can’t name them all!
I love every one else on here as well and I love you guys so much!![]()
Thank you, mocha200. That is very sweet of you to say~ It is a pleasure to answer all of your questions every time because you know how to listen, how to follow a piece of advice. That’s why you can learn anything you want to. ![]()
Thank you Petzy!

Oh my gosh that is ridiculously funny. I for real lol’d and Dave came to see what was so funny!!!
Has anyone got artist skills to draw up a cute bunny trophy for those who win (I think we have many winners-and definitely some that have come through with multiple nominations) to display in their signature if they like?
i tried for the trophy. :p
.. or not, it wont load :'(
I searched “rabbit trophy” on google images, and this was the first hit. Adorable!! And easily modified to add names to the bottom part, if anyone is interested ![]()

lol WANT!
And yes Lintini…. we really did. Good *gracious* I was tired!
![]()
I nominate Kokaneeandkahlua – with her work, love and constant arranging to make Chuck’s last year a very happy one and her continued improvisational abilities to keep Noot happy in his dotage.
You have more strength than I ever will.
i’ll second the noms (haha… noms) for sarita and k&k for all of the fostering they do especially for the special needs fuzzies. babybun required a lot of care in her last couple of years which was so much work… and she was a single bun for most of the time!
i know there are more of you special-needs bunny slaves out there and i nominate all of you too!
and i 2nd / 3rd / 4th… the noms for all of the slaves who worked hard with a surprise litter ![]()
oh and i nominate all those who persist in their trials and tribulations of bunny bonding… binky bunny, markbun (wow that was an effort) and all the rest of you bonders… sorry i haven’t followed the bonding threads recently!
I put in a vote for Lintini! Her weakness for cute rabbit kits put her in a position of having to manage several pubescent rabbits within a short period of time, which is the true test for rabbit servitude… I also think she has a budget just for bunny destruction costs, I could be wrong but I believe it’s true. ![]()
Thank you Petzy
I am just so glad everyone is spayed and neutered
I will work up my courage to trio bond Bun with the boys! I keep putting it off but I do need to try it, Bun would probably adore some boyfriends. Yes…keep me away from bunnies. I no longer go to that petstore! <3 <3
