Jordan reunites with Jude

Miraculously, my sister called and said they’d come home a day early.

Apparently it did nothing in Ottawa but rain for a solid week. Ottawa’s boring in the sunshine, too, but it seemed to be the rain that killed it for them.

Jordan seemed very happy to see Jude again. (In fact, that might even be a smile on his face…!)

I, in turn, was happy to see Jordan take Jude away. I showed him the chunks missing from my bookcase, the split wood, the offending rabbit. Continue reading »

Rabbits? Really?

On day 1 I still getting used to the idea of Jude and rabbit-sitting, but already by day 2 I was trying to see what Jordan saw in her. (The rabbit, not my sister. Though that’s another topic entirely…)

I still don’t think I get it.

So I’ve compiled a list of the favourable attributes of a pet rabbit, and contrasted it with how much they suck.

Bunny, it ain’t lookin’ good fer you. (Have you considered not being a rabbit?)

Good Stuff About Rabbits

1. They’re cute.
2. They’re soft.
3. Easter is fun.

The last one’s not even technically about rabbits. It’s about paganism.

Now that we’ve exhausted their positive features, let’s get to the bulk of the pet-rabbit experience. Continue reading »

Jude, caged

After yesterday’s Bad Day I wanted to leave Jude (aka The Stupid Rabbit) caged for the remainder of her time here, but Drew thought that wouldn’t be very nice.

Especially as she really, really wanted out.

I guess she’s used to it here now. Humph.

I allowed that Jude could come out – briefly! – if Drew watched  her every twitch.

While Drew was keeping an eye on Jude, she was up to her (three day) old tricks again, hopping around behind the cage…where (some of) the bookcases are. Continue reading »

Jude is not a good bunny

I’ve called this post “Jude Makes a Mess”, but could also be titled “The Day It Got Old”.

I’ve had a very long day at work and a long session at the gym (but a gay and carefree cycle home, bulldozing past cars, merrily disregarding traffic rules). All I wanted to do was shower, then write for a bit.

As soon as I opened the door to my office I hit The Dread Wall of Bunny Stink.

I clean Jude’s cage every day. I have no idea how she does it. But it’s gross and I wish she would stop. Continue reading »

Jude plays peek-a-boo

Slight problem with the water bottle today.

My sister’s boyfriend warned me about it, but I thought it was working. It wasn’t, and I came home to a very thirsty rabbit.

Merlyn hung around for a bit chasing (and then eating) stray bits of hay that escaped Jude’s cage. He really, really likes it.

After much water guzzling, Jude decided it was time for her daily hop around the cage. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth between the cage and the bookcases. Rarely actually venturing out into the wider room.  Thrilling pet. Really. Continue reading »
