I am swiftly becoming one of those crazy animal people. I mean…I have had a lot of animals. I have owned: dogs, cats, chinchillas, tarantulas, fish, rats and mice. I have felt nothing towards any of them like I feel to this bunny. I mean I enjoy the presence of animals, but other than the dogs they all ended up being little more than extra work. I felt no real bond or companionship to them. The dogs also tend to be too much for me. They are now family dogs instead of my dogs and dogs in general overwhelm me. I can’t really handle them because I feel like they need too much from me. I worry I could never be good enough.
This totally is not the case with the bunny. I feel like I could have her out more. I worry about her veggie intake and I worry about how often her litter is cleaned. Other than that I feel content and at ease in my bunny care taking.
There is something about coming home to her that I love. I can relax and let go of work and she isn’t on top of me. She just waits patiently to be let out and then she hops happily around the room. She is just everything I would want in a pet.
She is also adorable! Don’t believe me? What about this video of her eating an apple?
Please excuse the voice I use when I talk to the bunny and my gushing. I can’t help it!
Still not cute enough? What about her getting all up in the camera’s face and then running around my room?
Please excuse my messy room and my giggling. She does that to me.
But wait! There’s more! (I know you are SO excited.)
Did I mention that Penelope has a Fairy Godmother? Well I need to have someone else share in my obsession so Loralee has been appointed official Fairy Godmother to Penelope. She’s awesome!
Okay. I’ll stop now.
Really. I will.
Oh you can deal with one more photo. This one features my butt!
Not naked though.
You should be grateful.

SQUEEE!!!!
I’M A FAIRY GODMOTHER!!!!!
TO A BUNNY!!!!!!
This ALMOST makes up for the fact that I will never own a bunny in a million years (And shall cry buckets of tears about it.)
P.S. It seems like the only youtube videos I’ll click on anymore are those containing bunnies. Do you read Schnozzfest? Dude. THE BUNNIES she owns slay me.

You crazy rabbit-lady, you!
I only had dogs growing up. I guess we had a couple cats too, but they were outside cats that caught mice. I’m not sure I would ever want a rabbit though. Or any kind of rodent-creature. Or reptile. Okay, maybe I’m not a pet fanatic.

Loralee - I don’t know why that happened either. It was like that yesterday too. All fixed now!
I am so excited to have you as the Fairy Godmother. It makes me laugh.
Jill - I am turning into a crazy rabbit person! Though you should see me around cats and dogs. I act like I can catch something if they touch me. I can’t help it! No worries if you’re not an animal person. Way less work for you! Though, do I remember you thinking about getting a dog?

[…] Sideblog:Sweetness Did I mention that I am now the internet fairy godmother to a cute, fuzzy BUNNY?????!!!!!! Penelope belongs to Angela of “Sparklie Sunshine”. She has always been so sweet and thoughtful. She’s definitely as nice as they come.Sideblog: Cache Valley Illuminati Luncheon Correction! Ok, see that post in the main section that says how I am making errors left and right lately? I announced that the group of Cache Valley Bloggers would be meeting for lunch on Wednesday, January 26th. It was pointed out to me that Wednesday is the 23rd. SO… Wednesday the 23rd, 10th st. grill. Noon. SORRY.Sideblog:Save the trees on your next giveaway! Thanks to a lovely reader, mamalang, who commented on my giveaway post, I now know that there is a way to randomly generate a giveaway list.

There is also an option if you want to enter in names or email addresses. So? Next time you have a giveaway, consider this awesome option.Sideblog: Clarification I need to clarify because I think that I hurt some feelings with my post about Blogging. I always feel bad when I find out that I have spoken off the cuff and hurt someone’s feelbads (I do it a lot. Sigh.). It is not intentional. I don’t think less of any blog because of the template or platform that they use. No, not at all. I think I am one of the least “Snobby” bloggers on the planet. What bothered me Minima Black is that I COULDN’T CHANGE it. I hated my lack of ability. Plus, Blogger was REEEAAALLLY rough at the time. It gave me a ton of headaches. WordPress gives me a lot less hassle. I read the blogs I do for a variety of reasons. Some have hundreds of commenter’s and others have just a few. I am really sorry if I made anyone feel inferior. It was not my intent. I love you all. […]
