And now, a bunneh in a pile of cotton balls

Just in case the bunneh wasn’t SOFT ENOUGH, the sender-inner added cotton balls for a Sears-Buntrait-studio-like action. Much better than a "log" prop or a wheelbarrow.

Bunnular

It’s bunnular, Jason F. from Gurnee, IL!

    That looks like the same bunny that was “rescued” from the lawn mower guy the other day!

  2. Dave says:

    My mom and I call cotton balls bunny farts! We’re both using this image as our backgrounds now! Too cute!!!

    Bunny farts!! Too funny.

    This bunny looks both incredibly relaxed and yet, at the same time, still disapproving.

  7. Mimi says:

    AWWWWW! So very sweet.

  8. Miss Bear says:

  13. Helen says:

  16. bunnyhero says:

    eeeeeeee

    this makes me so happy :D

  17. Suzanne says:

    Bunnersons has reached full zen disapproval on this one I think.

  18. Martha in Washington says:

    I think the cotton balls are not soft enough. I detect some bun disapproval there.

    I wanna keees his lil forehead spot!

  19. Lone says:

    Very bu-zen.

  20. bfl says:

    squeeeeeeee! Bunnieeeeeeeeeee!

  21. musicchick2 says:

    BUN-SOFT! Look how the widdo pawsies are reveling in all the snorgilicious swoftness! *keeses on his teeny weeny bun-leeps*

  22. SlaveToThreeFelines says:

    I miss my bunbun. He was spoiled rotten. He was a New Zealand Giant albino and thought he was a kitty. He was only caged at the pet store. Once he came home, he ruled the roost. Luckily, he was never a cord-chewer. But, he did enjoy the carpeting and woodwork.

    *sigh* I miss my Karat Gold. Saturday the 14th would have been his 18th birthday. We were only graced by his presence for 7 years.

  23. Christine Hughes says:

    Aww, the SOFTNESS!

  24. Karebear says:

    Oh to be a bun on a cloud of cotton… that would be the life!
    He can hardly stay awake

  25. acelightning says:

    Awwwwwwwwwwww…..
    I don’t know which is softer, the cotton balls or the baby cottontail. Except that I’d much rather snuggle the bunnikins…

  26. “CRIKEY!” [Steve Irwin voice] “This bun is in a quiet and rare state of repose known as “Power Save Mode. Note the barely open lids and stoic posishe.”

  27. anner says:

    heaven,
    i’m in…heaven,
    and heart beats so
    that i can hardly squee!

    and his wiggly nose
    seems pointed right at me…
    he’s the portrait of
    an angelic bunn-eeeee!

  28. anner says:

    hmm. there should have been a “my” in that third line…

  29. chackler says:

    It’s like he’s floating on clouds!

    Bunny bunny bun bun
    Bunny bunny bun bun
    I love you!
    Bunny bunny bun bun
    Bunny bunny bun bun
    I love you!

  30. Helene says:

    There’s also a bun prop at Sears, that could work too!

  31. Aubrey says:

    He IS in Heaven. And he’s at the Gates of St. Peter Rabbit.

  32. Charlotte says:

    I cuddle bunny.

    I declare bunny is softer. xD

  33. musicchick2 says:

    Anner – Bravo!

  34. thedistractor says:

    I kinda want to use him to put on my makeup now. It would definitely be a way to recycle.

  35. Time to take the nail polish off…I got the remover, all I need is a…
    *sees bun in balls*
    *POIT*
    Awww…okay, I think the polish can stay on a couple more days.

    Looks like Lawnmover Bunny found a floofy roost to nap in!

  36. Gillian says:

    Squeeeeeeee!

    The spread toes-icles!

  37. Jason from Gurnee, IL says:

    I am so happeee that everyone gets to see my little bunneh foo-foo. I know he looks like the lawnmower bunneh, but I guarantee he isn’t. I found him in the parkin lot at work as I was leaving late last night, and yes he is as small as two cotton balls.

  38. lurkertype says:

    Jason, how are you feeding this little bunnitude?

    Becuz he is tooo moishe of cuteness not to grow up big. And he’s obvs a teeny tiny bebeh wabbit, with the spot on his head and the itty-bitty two-cotton-ball size.

  39. Margaret says:

    CO you just made my day. Might be the pain meds talking, but I love you guys.

  40. Tawcan says:

    Too cute!

  41. The Honourable Gladys Anstruther says:

    A cottontail with cotton balls.

  42. HRH says:

    “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big tree” (from The Tale of Peter Rabbit, 1902)

    this just has to be a great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (add a few multiple generations) Peter Rabbit bunneh offspring …

  43. Honeychan says:

    Wow!! How teeeny-tiny this bunny is!

    I actually touched my monitor to pet his little head.

    Jason, please keep us posted on your new lil’ baby, and take lots more pics. Yay for you, on rescuing him!

  44. sweetnsensible says:

    Gosh….and I just thought it was a creative play on words–”cotton tails” ???

  45. leah says:

    I don’t think this bun bun is one bit happy with its posh setting can’t we all tell its just sooooooo unhappy. I love the little tock action their right front tock.

  46. BunFF says:

    The best bunneh pic ever!!!

    (wild buns are born w/the white spot on the head. it’s there for about three weeks…)

    Cotton Balls = Bunny Farts!!!! Awesome! Simply Awesome!!

  47. Redzilla says:

    Reminds me of when I was a kid and we had a cotton ball dispenser shaped like a little bun. The cotton balls, of course, came out of his little behind–so that it looked like he had a little white tail.

    Not as cute as this bun, but I’m still not swabbing my face with anything that comes out of this bun’s backside.

  48. jaypo says:

    LOL, bunny farts!! I clean my face each night wif bunny farts.

    redZ–I had one of those! I got it at a flea market and fell in love with it. It was pale yellow and from the 1920s. I think it had flowers painted on it. Very cute. (Where is it now…?!?)

  49. bunnyslave says:

    I LOVE HIS LITTLE TOES!!!

  50. kelly says:

    What a soft little bunbun… I want to roll around in cotton balls with him!! He’s all like, “I’m a bunbun! I need to lay in soft things!”

  51. Pheas says:

    leah — (Inigo voice) You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  52. jen says:

    pheas – lol. inconceivable!!

  53. jaypo says:

    Pheas, remind leah of the “r” in posh, too… Though “prosh” and “unhappy” can’t exist in the same sentence so maybe it was intentional.

  54. Jenna says:

    That made me giggle. The bunny is too adorable and as someone that works at a sears portrait studio I have to agree with the caption! I wish that we could photograph animals again!

  55. BunFF says:

    Redzilla and Jaypo…i thought you must have dreamt of a bunny cotton ball dispenser, but here it is!!!!!

    http://www.dollardays.com/detailimage.asp?itemid=275657

    Every bunneh hugger home should have one!

  56. Redzilla says:

    BunFF: mine didn’t really look like that, but yes, a similar idea. In fact, mine looked like what Jaypo described–something my grandmother had had since the 20′s. Pale yellow, with the glaze starting to crackle, and little blue & green flowers painted on one bunny flank.

  57. Pheas says:

    Aw, jaypo, I donwanna be teh Qte police.

    Say, you lovers of buns out there, I am going to have the opportunity to volunteer with some rescue buns this summer. Schmoop and I are vacationing here: http://bestfriends.org/atthesanctuary/. Can you hear my w00ting all across the interwebs? Thought so.

    Anyway, can those of you with bun experience refer me to a good book or online resource for learning more about them? Not so much their care, as staff will instruct me on that, but their psychology and social order. Appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!

  58. Laura says:

    I just realized the cotton ball-to-bunny size ratio!

    Such a tiny, tiny bunny :D

  59. Digital camera: $300
    baby bun from the shelter: $55
    bag o cotton balls: $3

    Listening to CO squeeplode from joy: priceless.

  60. Carrie from Gurnee, IL says:

    Yay Jason from Gurnee, IL for saving little bunny! Aren’t people from Gurnee the *BEST* ?? :-)

  61. BunFF says:

    Pheas,
    Your best link for Rabbit Psyc is House Rabbit Society. (i’m not only a memember… ;D)

    And love to the rescue buns you get to take care of! Yeah for you!

  62. TheLoveOfIsis says:

    Little bun!!!

    Ooops. I just squeed myself.

  63. Cotton Balls: The official unit of measure for bunnehs.

  64. ThreeCatNight says:

    “Sears Buntrait”! Love it, love it!
    Snorgle in deep, sweet little bunneh. Catch up on all those dreams about carrots.

  65. TracyFlick says:

    What if you bought cotton balls and then opened the bag and then realized it was a bunch of tiny white bunnehs? This would be a great day.

  70. jaypo says:

    Pheas, google “Language of Lagomorphs.” He has lots of good info on interpreting bunny communications. Also try

    http://www.rabbit.org

    the official website of the House Rabbit Society. They have a behaviour section. And there are lots of us bunny folks hanging around in the carrot patch, too!

  71. jaypo says:

    oops! guess I should’ve refreshed my page before responding! sorry for the repeat.

  72. Jules says:

    Q: How can you tell it’s a male bunneh?
    A: By the cotton balls!!

  78. Arvay says:

  85. Arvay says:
  86. Pheas says:

    Thanks for the bun tips, BunFF, jen, and jaypo! Very helpful. Not as helpful as if I had little Mr. Cottontocks here to instruct me one-on-one, but still excellent.

  87. jen says:

    arvay – why do i hear pavarotti when i look at your bunneh pic?

  88. Kori says:

    Baby Bunneh disapproval!

  89. Annie says:

    Arvay.. I luv your pages. Your bunnies really do look like bunny slippers and those ratties are the best, too bad they aren’t still with you… Good luck on adopting a new Pup

  90. baristacat says:

  91. pyrit says:

    I would pet the bunneh bebeh wif one finger, and even that might be overdoing it.

  92. Theo says:

    Jen — you hear tenor arias, I hear jungle calls. (This is my domain, and I protect those who come here… for I am Tarzan, bun of the jungle)

  93. Aubrey says:

    Yes T., bun-gle in the jungle.

  97. Christy says:

    “What if you bought cotton balls and then opened the bag and then realized it was a bunch of tiny white bunnehs? This would be a great day.”

    I squealed aloud at 4 in the morning at this mental image.

    Good wildlife rehabbers *can* help.

  99. Lydia says:

    This bun pic is a perfect “Photo Shoot”. You should do a category. There seem to be quite a few “Photo Shoots.” That bunny looks as soft ‘n’ silky as my friend’s hamster and believe me, that’s soft.

  100. mary says:
