Hippity hop.

When I was young I wanted to be a bunny. I think I have shared this confession with you before. I even tried to get everyone to call me Bunny (it never stuck). One year for Halloween I had the cutest bunny costume, complete with a huge stuffed carrot.

I also always wanted a pet bunny. Sadly, I am allergic to them, just as I am allergic to all animals with fur. Thank goodness there are dogs in the world with hair (such as Baby). But then I see a video like this one, and it makes me wish for a bunny all over again. Isn’t this the cutest?

Hat tip to Burger for the video.

I guess I can just be like the main character in one of my favorite movies and have an invisible bunny friend named Harvey. In the meantime I’m thinking of breaking out the bunny ears for Halloween this year.

Meow, meow!

My parents had a furry surprise in their yard recently. A mama cat and her kitten took up residence in the hot tub (the inside part that has access from the side). Luckily the hot tub wasn’t full or running, but Miss Kitty sure was smart to have her kitten in a sheltered spot.

They are both very cute, gray with the most green eyes. The kitten is especially cute of course, as kittens always are. The only problem is we have no idea who they belong to. The mama cat certianly doesn’t look like a stray, her coat is very healthy and she looks well fed. We have a suspiscion of who’s pet she may be, but nothing confirmed.

Of course my hubby wants me to bring the kitten home with me. He loves cats and has always wanted to get one. I like cats, but am so allergic to them it’s not even funny. I had the most adorable kitten for a few hours when I was younger… she was super smart and playful. It was a lot of fun to play with her for that short time until my eyes swelled shut and big water bags formed under them. So obviously we can’t bring it home, no matter how adorable this kitten is.

We didn’t see the mama cat today though, so we are a bit worried that something may have happened to her. Or maybe she is trying to get her kitten to fend for herself. The kitten on the other hand seems more than happy to stay under the hot tub, and was quiet scared of us looking in at her.

Baby has been kept away from that section of the yard… better for her and them that way.

Dolphins are one of my favorite animals in the world. One of my dreams has been to work with them, or at the very least swim with them. And the dolphins at Sea World are amazing everyone with a new, fun trick blowing bubbles. Make sure to watch the video, it’s amazing!
