Hang on tight, Bunny lovers

by Meg on June 28, 2006

It has come to our* attention that several good peeps on from Flickr’s Bunny Lovers Unite pool have lost their buns over the weekend.

It’s always hard to lose a pet—especially a precious, soft, snorgly bun. Even when that bun shows her "miniature disapproval", she’s still a sweetheart.

Here’s to you and your wonderful pets, let’s hope they’re all snuggling in that great rabbit warren in the sky…

Flufferkins

Tobias F., thanks for the bunneries.

AAAWWWW! LUV IT! SNUGGLY SOFT!

4 punkpie 06.28.06 at 1:24 pm

RIP little buns… and a big snorgle to all the parents who lost a loved bun.

My own dear buns – Sable and Blossom – are over the rainbow bridge. I like to think they are running thru fields of rye grass (their fave), binking and digging.

6 A thinker 06.28.06 at 1:25 pm

Eep! High alert!

And so sorry to the bun lovers who have lost theirs…losing a pet is never happy :(

7 Kris, in New England 06.28.06 at 1:27 pm

Oh, and begging for bananas – never saw anything like it. Sitting up on their hind feet, begging for a banana…

Oh man. That’s so sad! Condolences to everyone who lost their bunnies!

10 Redzilla 06.28.06 at 1:59 pm

Notice the bed sheets bun is on. If you turn your head sideways, can’t you imagine that you’ve just woken up and bun bun is saying, “Oh, you’re awake. Let’s go frolic.”

11 Theo 06.28.06 at 1:59 pm

Huh… this little hoomph looks like a baby version of our Willow (the Pillow).

spoony earses! Love the wee gray bun.

13 Lisa 06.28.06 at 2:17 pm

Did anyone check out the dissaproving bun site? Stern buns make my morning.

14 Jimmm 06.28.06 at 2:21 pm

Well that’s just great: Thanks for linking to the “secret bunny burrow” page. Now I have to close my office door, before anyone sees my eyes misting over.

And I’m not even a bunny person. In fact, the fear of losing a bun prolly means I never WILL be a bunny person.

*Schniff!*

15 kerry 06.28.06 at 2:26 pm

I can’t stop looking at this picture. It’s so perfectly proportioned, it’s mesmerizing. It goes beyond simple cuteness to adorable perfection. Bravo!

16 Theo 06.28.06 at 2:29 pm

Wow — click on the pic and the large version is *really* large (plus it’s called “flufferkins.jpg”)!

17 tm 06.28.06 at 2:35 pm

aww, that is so sad. snorgling to all the pet owners who have lost a bun recently!
“spooney ears”, that is great! the disaproving bunnies are now my new subject of converstion for the water cooler today. i cant wait to gather the confused and worried looks at my mentioning of their ‘tude.

18 AuntLisa 06.28.06 at 2:39 pm

Thanks Theo. Your comment about the large version made me realize I could use Flufferkins as my desktop image.

Even with all the adorable bun photos last week, this is the one that reminds me of Nina, the “emergency” bunny we snuck into the dorms when I was in college. Flufferkins is bunny perfection, and indecently snorgable.

Condolences to those who’ve lost their bunny companions. I dread the day I may have to do without Ballou.

19 Laura 06.28.06 at 2:58 pm

Oh, my…it’s so perfectly proportioned – the tiny li’l paws are killing me!

*iz ded from cute!*

20 Amy 06.28.06 at 3:07 pm

Those ears! *Whine* I want to go home and snuggle with MY bunnies and look at pics of my late bun.

21 Courtney 06.28.06 at 3:15 pm

My condolences to whoever lost a bun over the weekend. :(

The bun in the picture is mighty sweet. He looks ready for action!

22 jaypo 06.28.06 at 3:16 pm

Bunnies are perfect, especially this little fellow. Sympathies to all the peeps who have lost that little bit of perfection in their lives–for now. :-(

23 Theo 06.28.06 at 3:23 pm
24 jaypo 06.28.06 at 3:37 pm

The giant little bunny who could! Thanks, t-o.

25 Theo 06.28.06 at 3:40 pm

OK, I might’ve gone a little overboard here…

(at this point I just had to say “enough” — since there are almost 5,000 of ‘em to sift through)

E.C. — you’re all over that group, eh? Can’t say I’m surprised.
;)

26 jaypo 06.28.06 at 3:47 pm

I’m gonna get myself fired here…but I’ll go down happy!

27 E. Collison 06.28.06 at 4:06 pm

teho, I’m hardly “all over,” but I do like the folks and their bun-rabs just fine. Can’t help noticing, though, that *you* seem a tad mesmerized by the blinding cuteness there. ;-)

And Flufferkins is quite da bunnery…!

28 M- 06.28.06 at 4:07 pm

Awww….. pretty baby… my husband actually bought me a stuffed bunny just to satisfy my desire for a bun… one day I say…. one day I TOO will have my very own REAL bunny!!!

Quick question… did anyone else fall in love with bunnys from books? I absolutely LOVE the Velveteen Rabbit and Bunnicula from when I was a child and I wondered if others started their bunny love affair this way too?

29 E. Collison 06.28.06 at 4:07 pm

Oh, I almost forgot:

Hey Bunny bun bun! I wanna cuddle with uuuu

31 alice 06.28.06 at 5:16 pm

Awww what perfect alert ears!

32 Aubrey 06.28.06 at 5:24 pm

M-
‘Rabbit Hill’ and ‘The Tough Winter’ for me. Wonderful books, and beautifully illustrated (by Robert Lawson – who also wrote them). I still read ‘em.

33 Arvay 06.28.06 at 5:43 pm

Awwww that is a sweet bunbun!

34 Redzilla 06.28.06 at 6:03 pm

Stuh-op. If you have not visited the “disapproving rabbits,” you must do so. I have found my bun soul mate: Hazel, the rabbit who disapproved of Christmas.

35 k 06.28.06 at 6:04 pm

that is the perfect bunny. perfect.

wow.

36 alice 06.28.06 at 6:16 pm

Isn’t she, k!!! She looks like she’s at a bunny show ready to win first prize. Are there bunny shows? And are they televised?! :D

37 jaypo 06.28.06 at 6:44 pm

M-definitely! Peter Rabbit and kith and kin an’ such. (pssst…my closest friends call me “bunny.” What an honor!)

38 Judy B 06.28.06 at 6:53 pm

Just wanted to add my condolences to the people who have lost their bunnies (many *hugs* to ya) and say a big fat AWWW! to the little grey bun above.

39 jaypo 06.28.06 at 7:45 pm

I feel for the parents who lost their buns this weekend. Such an awful, heartbreaking experience.

Re: the bun above — adorable. I wonder how much smothering (face smooshing) he’d put up with before pouting and turning his back on me.

As for rabbit books, my dad bought me a book when I was a kid called, “The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.” Awesome, awesome book written by a dad for his daughter back in 1939. It’s a tail (sorry) of empowerment in a fuzzy form. A classic. It really influenced me. It’s on my bookshelf, and one day will become a tattoo.

41 warrior rabbit 06.28.06 at 7:52 pm

Um, I should probably add that the “Country Bunny” author was Dubose Heyward, the man behind Porgy and Bess, among other things.

42 Claire 06.28.06 at 8:52 pm

Oh the fluff and the beady eye factor and the EARS! *Thud*

Poor lost bunnies, I sympathize T_T

43 kitty 06.28.06 at 9:06 pm

*chomp* i shall eat this bunnie.

44 Kris 06.28.06 at 10:44 pm

Awww, sweet bunny! I lost my bun last month :( , but best friend’s kitty brought in an uninjured domestic baby bun yesterday. Bunny karma :)

45 Brak_Silverbone 06.28.06 at 10:44 pm

*tries to snorgle monitor*

*bruises nose*

Ow…

46 Julie 06.29.06 at 12:36 am

I’m from Bunny Lovers Unite. Sadly, I lost my rabbit last Thursday. Thanks to all of you for leaving such nice comments.

47 jaypo 06.29.06 at 12:43 am

Julie, Kris–my heart goes out to you.

48 Aubrey 06.29.06 at 2:24 am

Such a greedy weekend, to take so many buns.

A while ago, friend of mine lost a very beloved dog. I advised him to – as soon as he felt able – get to the pound! FORTHWITH!

He did, found a new dog-friend and hasn’t regretted it since. I always thought – as one who can’t keep pets, though dearly would like to – that the best justice one can do to the memory of a lost pet is to adopt another.

49 Snowdrops 06.29.06 at 2:32 am

Oh aiyeeeee!!!! Such a cutie cutesy cute bunny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am suffering an ACS (Acute Cutecongestion Syndrome)!!!!

I WANNA HUG YOU!!!!!!

50 cuteness lover 06.29.06 at 3:37 am

I’m so sorry for everyone who has lost a bunny. I’m sure they were all loved very much, and had great lives. I just lost my GP, I still go to his cage to feed him every morning. It’s hard to break those habits. I agree with AUBREY though, the best thing to do when you are ready, is to save anothers life, in memory of your friend. One of their little friends will certainly appreciate it.

51 E. Collison 06.29.06 at 4:30 am

Speaking of “miniature disapproval,” here’s anotherbun who’s tops at it:

52 AuntieMame 06.29.06 at 6:05 am

Help! I’ve been trying all day to find the post someone made earlier today or yesterday of a bun with one ear perked up and one lying flat. Where did it go???!?!?

53 Eliza 06.29.06 at 6:10 am

It is the cuttest i have ever seen.

54 Theo 06.29.06 at 12:37 pm

AuntieM — will this do? It was a member of my Link Platoon…

55 Redzilla 06.29.06 at 1:52 pm

Those disapproving rabbits make me wish I had a water proof camera. I’d get some video of my cats scolding me while I’m in the shower (Although not any footage of ME in the shower.) They sit up on the shower wall and say things like, “Oh. My. God. That can’t be good for you. All that water and soap. Are you mad? Have you lost your senses? Meeeee-mee-mee-oooow!” It drives them crazy seeing anyone bathe. They do not approve.

56 coconut 06.30.06 at 12:02 pm

i swear everytime i look at this picture i see the nose going up and down for a split second

57 Gen 09.08.06 at 1:06 pm

Sorry for the VEEERRRY late post, but does anyone know what type of bunny this is?

58 viivi 10.18.06 at 1:47 pm

oletko itse ottanut tän kuvan?? Mulle varotettiin sun kuvista että ne on laittomii!!! vastaa mailiini.
