You Might Love Bunnies if…

[nomij]

Hi Everyone!
I need a bit of help!
My father loves rabbits, so much that I want to make a poster for him about bunnies.   You know the lists, “Ya might be a redneck if… (fill in the blank here).  I wanted to make one that lists “You might love bunnies if…”  (You might be a bunny lover if… just sounded wrong!!!!)

So I thought to seek out the advice of some helpful Bunny Caregivers, and hopefully come up with a fun and entertaining list we can all enjoy!

Not having looked after bunnies myself, I don’t know some of the things that only bunny owners would know… but I did try to come up with a couple myself…

You might love bunnies if you buy wreaths to be nibbled on, not hung.
You might love bunnies if you know a good bond has nothing to do with glue.
You might love bunnies if your kids think that Timothy’s last name is “Hay”
You might love bunnies if you think Disney is clueless when Thumper thumps and smiles.
You might love bunnies if you spend more money on grass mats than bath mats.
You might love bunnies if you always follow “Happy Easter” with the phrase “Make mine chocolate!”
You might love bunnies if you love buns that are not made of steel
You might love bunnies if rainbows make you cry. 
 

Ok, I guess the last one wasn’t funny, and the idea is to be funny… But I don’t know any funny things that bunnies do!  Can you guys come to my rescue, and throw out some suggestions?

Thank you so much!  And have a great day
Nomi

Haha, much of the time we refer to it as being a Bunny Slave. It means the same thing.

This older thread might help you get some ideas. https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aft/110613/Default.aspx
Avoid replying in older threads though. It would be better to make comments in this one instead.

You might love bunnies if you sit on the floor just to get the chance to pet them.

You might love bunnies if you play with toss toys to join in the fun.

You might love bunnies if watch carefully just to see if they watch you.

You might love bunnies if you cannot wait till treat time just to see their contented flops afterward.

You might love bunnies if you constantly look for human items that they would love, i.e. toys that can hold treats and make a little noise. (My siennub love wind up toy easter bunnies that hop so they can follow it and execute nose bonks to get it to stop.) 

You might love bunnies if you can tell when they are pulling one over on you.

You might love bunnies if you have to keep pictures on hand even when you get to see them, never know who will come over.

You might love bunnies if you wish you could document every movement.

You might love bunnies if you find yourself explaining their language.

You might love bunnies if you cannot help thinking every time they make a mess, how much you love them. 

If I think of more, I will submit again.  I hope this helps.

You might love bunnies if you don’t feel right unless you sneak in to give each bunny a kiss on the head before letting them out of the cage in the morning. Forget about it once they are out and about!
You might love bunnies if you find yourself making trips to the pet supply store just to pick up more treats.

You might love bunnies if… you drive in a storm for veggies, for them, not you.
You might love bunnies if… the grocery clerk asks what you’re making with those exotic greens, and you don’t cook.
You might love bunnies if… your mother’s friends ask about her grandbunny.
You might love bunnies if… you say “Hi, I’m home!” and don’t expect a reply.
You might love bunnies if… you work nic cubes into your decor.
You might love bunnies if… you jump up and twist to see if binkies feel as good as they look.

The produce guy knows you by name and at the checkout you have $15 of fresh veggies and a frozen dinner

[lwayne]

midnight grocery trips include ice cream AND veggies

you arrange the furniture around your bunnies (so they can’t get in trouble)

all your furniture consists of craigslist furniture with bunny teeth marks in it

you can’t put up trim around the house until right before you move because the bunnies will nibble on it

you have baby gates around the house but don’t have kids

your coworkers know your bunny’s names and frequently asks about them (aka you talk about your bunnies too much at work)

your coworkers bring in their left over veggies for your bunnies

you take a sick day to go to the vet

(Last one added by my S.O. about me: You never will finish graduate school if you spend all your time reading about bunnies)

… you buy a new pair of headphones every week bc no matter how high you put them, the bun still manages to snip them in half
… you buy $20 of veggies and raisins and one $2 pizza before coming home
… you devote an entire shelf of the fridge to the bunny food
… you spend 2 hours waiting for a binky.
… you never kick off your shoes and leave them on the floor because they will have holes in them when you return to them
… the free phone book found on your doorstep doesnt just collect dust under the coffee table, it gets chewed on
… you buy grass…online…
… you feel your heart sink when they turn their backs to you. You know you did something wrong!
… you dont think a binky is a pacifier
… you get angry that there are entire stores filled with toys for dogs and cats, but only half a wall of bun toys which consist of things you wont give them anyways (yogurt drops)
… you keep bunny shampoo next to your shampoo
… 300 of the 336 pictures you have are of your bunny… and he is giving the stink eye in every one!
… your friends point out that for every 1 picture you have of your boyfriend, you have 87 of your rabbit
… you know when a rabbit is just doing something to bug you and you can almost hear them giggling at you as they binky away
… the indie500 takes place in your living room every day
… your internet search history shows visit after visit to binky bunny, disapproving rabbits, and bunspace
… your friends say “did you see that one youtube video…?” and you say “no, but i found this really cute one with a rabbit…”

i dont know if any of these are very funny, but they are all from my experiences.

…people give you weird looks for pulling hay out of the trunk of your car…in the city.
…when your “Binky!” bumper sticker makes sense to no one, even if you try to explain it.
… you’re used to the looks you get when the woman at the checkout stand asks what you make with bok choy, and you explain it’s for rabbits.
…the boy at the grocery store calls you “Rabbit Girl”… and you love it.
…your bunnies eat better than you do.
…when you come home late for their dinner and expect to get scolded.
…you have a spaz attack every time they do a binky, because it NEVER gets old.
…your friends have you hidden on facebook because 90% of your posts are rabbit related, and not one of them has a rabbit.
