Why a bunny shaped like an egg?

 From another store window in Paris...

 












Maybe he was adopted from a rescue shell-ter.
Did they do this as some kind of yolk?
Or is it supposed to be egg-straordinary art?
This is your brain on rabbit.
Bunnies are too soft to be hard boiled.
Hope they didn't put all their bunnies in one basket.
Well, you are probably ova these puns.

These are just some egg-amples. I hope haven't poached your best yolks.
Crack your puns in Comments.

Another Bunny Shop Window in Paris

The last one was all blue (see this Bunny Shop Window in Paris).
Here's another one, for the girls who want all things bunny:

A doll with its own stuffed bunny toy.
All I could afford in this city was the pictures.

There's some junk blocking the display of the bunnies for sale. I guess the store was trying to sell other stuff, too.

Bunnies, take your marks and ... Action!

Anyone out there in bunny blog land able to name this movie and director?
(I'll be back later and add the answer to this post.)

Answer: The Lady Vanishes (1938); Alfred Hitchcock, director
(This unanswered post was originally up about a month ago.)

Rabbits Everywhere

This validates our renaming movement!
It's gathering momentum - keep up the good work!

Do you see "bunnies everywhere", too?

Bunny Shop Window in Paris

As noted in a prior post, Paris was the more bunny-rich environment and here is a good example - all in one display window...

What do you get for the baby that wants everything bunny?

Bunny puppet

Bunny hat

Stuffed bunny

Bunny bed mate

Stuffed bunny

SuperBunny costume?
BunnyBoy?
Maybe a robe

Bunny ???

Overall, Paris gives the impression it appreciates bunnies.
Still more to come. Same Bun-Time. Same Bun-Channel.

Bunny Postcard

Mostly, the trip was about sightseeing (and eating), but I found one souvenir I could not resist. The postcard below is by photographer Robert Doisneau (1912-1994).

The sign reads:
The Concierge is on the stairs

If you are interested, found a bio of the artist here: Robert Doisneau
This Postcard website has many scenes, but I was unable to find this one specifically. You can click on "Author" in the top left-hand column of the site and see a few pages of postcards by this photographer.

I may have to find a simple little frame for this and hang it in the bunnies' room.

Bunny Sightings at London Portobello Market, Pt 1

Everyone told us about this great market in London on Portobello Road. It was fun - all sorts of stuff ... antiques, food (fresh and prepared), vintage clothing, and great people watching...

Don't ask me - I have no idea what the occasion was or what they were doing.

But I considered it a bunny sighting.

You can read about this "world's largest antiques market" here.

Misnamed French Pastry

As you might be able to see from the label at the bottom of the picture, these French bakery treats are called "palmier", or palm leaves.

Non, non, non ... I beg to differ and hereby rally all to rename these "bunny ears" or "oreilles de lapin" (if Google translated that properly).

"Bunny ears" instead of "rabbit ears", already claimed by the antenna used to adjust your TV picture, if you are old enough to remember those (the pre- "all TVs are color, have remote controls and hook up to a TV service you pay for" generation).

Everyone, now,
répétez après moi:
May I have some bunny ears, please?

The Tower of London Buns

Well, Tower of London's Gift Shop bunnies.


Tower of Bunnies
at Tower of London



Really cute stuffed bunnies

 I don't quite get the connection of bunnies with the Tower of London, but it was the cutest thing in the store and, clearly, a vacation bunny sighting. Maybe they gave Anne Boleyn a bunny to hold for comfort before she was beheaded.
But I think the Tower predated the stuffed bunnies, so maybe not.

Bunny Sightings at Harrods in London

Like so many of the sights in London and Paris, you can't see them all in one day ... the British Museum, the Louvre. The same was true of Harrods, a store with everything you might want to purchase (as long as you have an American Express Black Card).

If you go to the store, be sure to get the map of it. Heck, get a guide.

Here are a couple of bunny sightings there...

That is one scary looking bunny.

I am calling it as a bunny and not a wolf,
because it seems to fit the British
Alice in Wonderland theme
and not Little Red Riding Hood.

Along the same Alice line, don't you love this tea?

Gorgeous fresh veggies -
not in the same department as the high fashion clothes, jewelry
or whatever else you might shop for there, but all in this one endless store.
The prepared foods weren't too shabby either.

Here, Bunya, Lucy & Ethel admire the veggies.
It's a Bunny Paradise (not a Coolio reference,
unless you want it to be).

London Lucy Statue

Your ever alert (to bunny photo ops) Roving Rabbit Ramblings Reporters found a statue in a store window in London - it reminded us of our Lucy.

 

Pretty good likeness!

Well, yeah, I suppose if you have a black & white Dutch, it looks like your bunny, too.

White Rabbit makes appearance in Napoleon’s apartment - paparazzi snag photo

My wife travels for work (a lot) and this time, I went with her - this trip was to London and Paris. Since it was business, the time in each city was limited; I did not have enough time to do justice to these incredible cities.

While there, I did look for items of interest to Regular Rabbit Ramblings Readers ... translation: bunny things. It turns out the trip was a bunny rich environment, especially Paris.

Example: While there, we strolled through Napoleon III's "apartments" at the Lourve.

Parlez vous humma-humma?

(Apologies to Cheech & Chong)

Well, as we enter the tiny bedroom (so cramped in there that it might hold only a couple dozen of today's typical Paris apartments), we came upon a couple photographing a white stuffed bunny in there. Here's the story: His name is simply "White Rabbit" and he is from Disney Japan. His companion travels the world with him and captures his picture in many famous places.



White Rabbit and companion graciously agree to pose
for the Rambling Rabbit photographers.

This is one of the many bunny things we saw. More to follow.

Do you have any travel ritual? Any involving your pets?

The bunnies return from vacation

Note: There have been some maintenance issues with the blog host (bloggers unable to log on to post) but if you are reading this, it appears they have been resolved and we are back in business.

In their carrier for the car ride to HRS, the buns huddle together.
(Lucy & Ethel are shaking like leaves in a hurricane.)



At HRS, Bunya hops in to eat and claim turf.
Ethel explores the stick tunnel we brought from home,
so they'd have something familiar,
and Lucy hides in the box.

The bunnies gather for some treats, so Lucy's out of hiding.
They didn't do so bad.
(Thanks, HRS, for the picture.)

Our daughter was in town briefly and visited the buns at HRS.
Here, Bunya gives one of his disapproving looks,
hoping to gain either treats or a head skritch.

Returning home from HRS, the bunnies ran and binkied.
Here, the 3 of them nuzzle up on the cool bricks of the fireplace.
(It is getting hot here in Atlanta.)

Thank you to all the HRS volunteers for taking care of our bun-dren so well while we were away.

The bunnies benefit by getting to stay together in a much bigger space than the vet can provide and we benefit from the much easier impression on the wallet (less 10% if you are a GHRS member ... of course we are!)

How do you care for your pets when you are away and how do they fare?

Meet Shnuffy

We just got to the airport ... hadn't even started the trip.

When we sat in the seats at the gate, look who was sitting in the seat next to us!

Shnuffy waiting to board,
while the Dutch family to whom he belonged played Uno.

Happy Birthday to the bunnies' great-grandma!



92 years young today!
(Picture taken yesterday)



Bunya waiting for the ladies to finish getting ready to go celebrate

Ethel just wants to know if they're serving carrot cake for dessert...

Check out the "New & Improved" GHRS website!

As you know, I try to list some key bunny helpful websites in the Rabbit Resources in the right-hand column. Well, be sure to take another look at the first listed: Georgia House Rabbit Society. The site has been overhauled big time and for resources, you must include the Care Health & Diet page.



P.S. GHRS was on "Inside the NBA" on TNT on Easter - you can watch the video (including a cute little bunny climbing on Charles Barkley) at GHRS on Inside the NBA

Please step behind the TSA barrier...

I will explain what I am doing as I do it.
I am rubbing my chin on you - you are mine.

Yes, this inspection is completely in compliance with TSA policy.
Please open your bag so that I may eat , er, I mean, inspect the contents.

P.S. Check out the Daily Bunny twist on this.

Road trip!

The bunnies are taking a road trip! Stay tuned … in a couple of weeks, we hope to return with more pictures and stories. Take care!

 

Fuzzy Wuzzy Wuz a Bunny

In his favorite chair,
Bunya maneuvers the newspaper into a more comfortable reading position.



Checking out what's happening on page 1.



Actually, these pictures are to illustrate not just the fuzzy butt above
but the shedding season. Check out the puddle of hair left where Bunya sat.

Bunya will come over and flatten himself for a head skritch. By the time he decides to shake or leave, my hand is covered in so much hair, it looks like I am changing into a werewolf.

Groom your bunnies. Hopefully this season will end soon and you & yours and Bunya & family will be back to their less shaggy versions.
