milk moustache
i had a feeling mommy and daddy missed my white cotton tail after it turned grey like the rest of me. so i grew a milk moustache to show them i'm still their silly bunny! :) when mommy saw this photo, she said i had a little butterfly on my nose. daddy said no way but then he looked more closely and i bet he saw it too.

happy birthday to me!
hooray! mommy and daddy celebrated my birthday today. they say i'm 6 months old! mommy bought me some delicious hay and i couldn't stop eating it.
mommy bought me some organic vegetables from whole foods to try... parsley, basil, and carrots. yuck! i didn't like any of them. she said she would try dandelion, mint, and coriander next.
daddy bought me a big log house and i love it very much. i can sniff it, bite it, run through it, and sit on it. it's super nice.
birthdays are fun!

yucky gross
mommy and daddy woke up early today and i was so super duper excited to see them! but then they picked me up and shoved those tubular things in my mouth again. the first one tasted good but they put the second one in and it tasted disgusting! i tried to turn my head away but mommy kept coming at me with it. it was so yucky and smelled gross too. daddy called it a rude awakening. i agree!
daddy says i don't have to take medicine anymore because i look fine but mommy says we should finish the 3 days like my doctor prescribed. i wonder what will happen tomorrow morning?
i think mommy felt bad because she let me go outside early so i could do half binkies and the bunny 250 (like the bunny 500 but at half the speed). then i hid under the couch from her. when i was finally ready to come out, i went near enough to her so she would notice me... then when she saw me, she gave me lots of pets, which made me do tooth purrs.

after the vet
well i went to the vet yesterday and i didn't like it at all! it was a very scary place. mommy and daddy tried to comfort me - they felt me shaking and said i was doing the bunny head bob - but i was just looking for predators! i felt better after meeting dr. munn but i got nervous again especially when mommy and daddy left. the rest of the day went by in kind of a blur. i don't really remember much but eventually i was home again.
when i got home, i was a little upset about the day and i needed some time to myself. daddy picked me up a couple of times to take me to my bunny house and out again - every time he picked me up, i fell into a deep slumber. i heard him say i was dreaming and soon after, i woke up to explore a little. mommy kept trying to get me to drink water but i didn't want any. i had a small sip so she wouldn't feel bad and then i realized i was really thirsty!
daddy had to go to sleep so he could wake up for work the next morning but i didn't want to go back in my bunny house so i went into my playpen so he would know that i wanted to stay outside. he went to sleep and after a little while, i came back to the living area to see what mommy was doing. plus i needed to use my litter box - mommy brought out the little one from my bunny house and even made a ramp out of a blanket so i wouldn't have to hop in. the blankie was so comfortable that i used it as my bed! i think mommy wanted to take me to my bunny house but i was so relaxed that she decided to let me stay outside all night. she even slept beside me and let me hop on her shoulder so i could get on the couch, even though it woke her up every time i jumped on her.
when she woke up, she was confused because she couldn't find me. i decided to play hide-and-seek and i was hiding under the couch! she looked everywhere before she found me. she said good morning and i came out to say hello too. then she went to get daddy and he was in a panic because he woke up late for work. plus they said they still had to give me my medicine.
daddy picked me up and mommy put a funny tube in my mouth. i tried to clamp my mouth shut but she stuck it between where my teeth don't meet and squeezed something runny in my mouth. then she put some other stuff in there but i wouldn't swallow it so it started coming out the front of my mouth. i licked it up and it was actually yummy. she pet my head and made nomnomnom noises like she was eating it too! daddy put me in my bunny house afterward so i could rest during the day and mommy came to bed and slept. every once in a while, she would lift her head to look at me. she thought i was sleeping but i saw her.

the vet
mommy and daddy say i have to go to the vet tomorrow. they're even going into work late so they can both take me! i wonder what it will be like? i'm a little scared because they've been spelling lots of words to each other lately... almost like they don't want me to understand.

my first litter box
when i first started binkying, i would sometimes binky right into my litter box! daddy took these photos of me during my first week at home. mommy was at work so she didn't see me do all these silly things but daddy was home because he was working the late shift. i tried to stay extra still so he could get a good photo to show mommy. later, mommy said that the second image is her favourite photo of me... ever!!
later that week, i decided to play in my litter box again. but that was one of the last times because even with daddy's help, it took forever to groom me clean after this:

hello world
hello (internet) world! my name is truffle and i am a much loved blue netherland dwarf boy. mommy and daddy think i am the cutest thing ever and they still talk to me like i'm a baby even though i'm nearly 6 months old!
mommy likes to put dates in a funny contraption that she doesn't let me bite. she guesstimates that i was born on september 15, 2010. that means i was around 6-and-a-half weeks old when she and daddy brought me home. since then, i've noticed that mommy blogs a lot so that's where i got the idea to start a blog too. for my first post, i thought i would tell you a little bit about how i came to live with my mommy and daddy.
on october 30, mommy saw my little pink nose set against my pretty blue-grey fur and fell in love with me... at first sight! she made her friend, auntie tracy, stay at the pet store with her for over an hour while she decided whether to adopt me. i was super excited but i had a little scare when a funny smelling lady came up to us and said she was tempted to bring me home too. but then that yucky lady said she hated rabbits. imagine that!
eventually mommy decided that i was the one for her. she didn't even consult with daddy! i wanted to go right then and there but the pet store people said i was too young so they made her leave and come back the next day. so on halloween, she brought daddy to see me almost right when the store opened just like she said she would. i didn't like it when the shop lady picked me up but she gave me kisses so i guess she was alright. then i was stuffed into a cardboard box - it was dark and i was so scared that i didn't even bite it.
then mommy cooed to me in a soft voice, which made me relax a little. a short while later, after riding in a stinky thing called a taxi, i was in my new home. mommy and daddy built my cage and boy did they make a racket! when they were finally done, mommy went to wash my food bowls and told daddy to leave me alone for a little while. instead, daddy opened the box and pet me. it felt so good... super relaxing! i was so curious but i tried not to move because i didn't want him to stop petting me. then mommy came over and pet me too. eventually, i started looking around because i was so curious about what was outside the cardboard box.
mommy went to get me some water and told daddy to try to put me in the cage without lifting me up. as soon as mommy left the room, daddy picked me up and held me against his chest. it made me nervous not to have my feet on the ground but daddy held me tightly enough so i wasn't that afraid. mommy came back and let out a shriek. she came to pet me and then went to get a big black thing that made all these clicking sounds.
daddy lay down on the bed and let me sit on his chest. i think i must have spent at least a few hours sitting on him. he fell asleep and mommy went all around me with the clicking black box. later i learned that she was taking photos of me and that the black thing tastes good but she doesn't really like it when i try to chew on it. i slept a little too and then i was hungry so i ate some of the pellets that mommy put on daddy's shirt right below my chinny chin chin. i also drank some water. that was when i knew that i would love my new home.
