Hi, [voice cracking] Everybun-neee!

Charcoal and Ash, the abandoned dumpster-diving boy buns, here.

Well, Mommy got wise to our sneezing ploy. She moved out the plants and cleaned the dust out of our play area, inside the "moat". Guess what? We don't sneeze much anymore! Our vet did some blood work on us and she (Dr. Maya Martin) found that we have lots of healing/reactive cells, suggesting that we have been fighting (and have almost won) a battle against an allergy or a bunny cold. (We rabbits are very sensitive - that's why those *nasty* cosmetic companies use us to test their products.) She did not want to do a nasal culture because we do not have any nasal/eye discharge and it is sort of stressful to try to get a swab far up into our "snoots". In general, we are in excellent health. Good news, right?

WRONG... this meant we were ready for - CRINGE - the "Big Snip".

Yee-ouch!!!

Uncle Crapper, Uncle Bunni, Uncle Winston, Uncle Prince, Dr. Maya actually cut off our... [looking down] Oh, NOOOOOO!!! Can we still be Tough Buns without our bunny "jewelry"? We can't get the girls "preggers" now, but we will still be little "humpsters" for 1-3 months until our testosterone levels subside.

Our Dad empathizes with us and is walking around (very quietly) half bent over, like us. He seems to feel our pain. But not our Mom - she almost had Dr. Maya do him too! She was asking about the 15% family spay/neuter discount coupon she received in the mail during February. Dr. Maya said that the isofluorane gas anesthesia was very expensive and she didn't want to waste it on a human, so he was saved this time.

At least Mom has been making us nice salads (romaine, cilantro, carrot tops, and broccoli) - something she never would do for our Dad, who loves them. She says that we are small and cute and cuddly ("cutie-ootie pies") and we cannot prepare salads for ourselves. Hah-hah, one for the "home team"!

Ash did not go down without a fight! He bit his lip while struggling against the gas mask. [theme music from Rocky plays in the background] Dr. Maya said that we sure are *feisty* boys! Of course - that's how we survived the dumpster and the mean streets of Key Biscayne, Florida.

We are a little shaken up and groggy now. We have to be quiet and stay in our pens for 2-3 days. But we're already planning our breakout so we can play inside the "moat" and watch the girls (Benny & Bunny Bun) circle us around the castle walls.

Our Mommy wants to know if anyone can tell her what to expect in the next few days. When will we eat like horses again? When will we play like our normal rambunctious selves again? How long before we return to normal? What danger signs should she be watching for? We just ate half a carrot top - isn't this a good sign, even if we are not eating non-stop (like usual)?

Well, we gotta catch some snooze action. The entire household is pretty stressed out. We gotta teach our slaves to be Zen Bunnies like us - to focus on the moment and have fun, instead of worrying so much.

Charcoal: "Sometimes 'less is more', girls!"
Ash : "I tried to bite that evil hissing gas monster, but it snuck up and nailed me from behind!"
Cristina: "I have like 300+ PB messages that I haven't read yet!"
Craig : "I think I'll go hide in the closet."
