Toesday ENCORE

by Meg on April 4, 2007

Dewds, yesterday’s "Toesday*" was so frakking popular that I had to follow it up with this BUNNULAR TREAT, as found by Tanya M.:

Toesday_bun

*It took the agency months to get that one through committee

That is adorable; had no idea bunnies could stretch their toes. Looks like she’s getting ready for a manicure…

3 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 04.04.07 at 1:15 pm

Geesh, this looks like some hybrid frilled lizzard cat and gryphon combo from a medieval bestiary.”Hear be Dragons”

4 sadie_asher 04.04.07 at 1:16 pm

LOVE DA EARS!!

5 joodster 04.04.07 at 1:17 pm

Love the bun tosies. And those ears…I think I’m in wuv!

6 emfole 04.04.07 at 1:17 pm

eeeeeee! more bunnies!! http://www.rabbit.org/fun/net-bunnies.html
Heidilynn, bunnies can do all kinds of things that people have no idea about- they are a joy to live with (i have threeee) bunnies bunnies bunnies

7 layla42 04.04.07 at 1:20 pm

Oooh–that looks like a good stretch, even though I can still sense a bit of bunny disapproval going on.

Holy Earsies!
Lookit the size of those things! I must nibble on them, they look so soft and velvety.

8 fryingpan 04.04.07 at 1:22 pm

hate to ruin the coolness of this, but if you open the picture, since when did bunnies have sharp claws?

not to mention the shadows around the paws look strange, compared to the shadows from the ears.

this is photoshopped for your convinence

9 Kate 04.04.07 at 1:22 pm

The nose on this bun is killing me. It’s too early in the morning for this!

10 Virginia 04.04.07 at 1:23 pm

This one makes me hope for a ThEARSday sometime in the not-too-far-distant future.

11 Oodles of Noodles 04.04.07 at 1:26 pm

frying pan – um…since forever? Buns have claws.

12 Patricia 04.04.07 at 1:29 pm

Bunnies have claws. They use them for traction and scratching. I know my sisters mini-lop clawed me once when I was trying to give her medicine…. oww!

13 cosmiquemuffin 04.04.07 at 1:31 pm

***EARS***

yeah yeah, the toes. But for me it’s them

***EARS***

what must be stroked and snorgled.

14 Solange 04.04.07 at 1:34 pm

FRAAAAAAKKKKKKK! that is so cute… <

15 jen 04.04.07 at 1:34 pm

omg thats hilarious (and cute!)

16 lindr 04.04.07 at 1:38 pm

Aaagh! I thought the bun was cuddling under a blanket. Must be nice – I’ll have a bunnieblanket to go, please.

17 HRH 04.04.07 at 1:38 pm

fryingpan – stop right there –

we have heard enuff from nuffers in the past …

enjoy this endearing bun (endless ear-ing bun) while you can;

thumbs up for Meg for the overwhelming tosies pix and captions …

keep them coming, honeybunch

18 Elisha B. 04.04.07 at 1:45 pm

fryingpan, have you ever watched a bunny clean him/herself? They flex their toes just like kitties and their “claws” can grow at amazing rates. My daughter and I can testify to the sharpness, as our dwarf rabbit has scratched us many times over the past 2 years.
Not too wild over the cuteness of the picture but it just shows how all critters look and act the same. I do love the fur between the toes though, makes the bunnies so special!!

19 luvinmalssomuch 04.04.07 at 1:45 pm

Cute basset hound ears. Never knew they could stretch their toesys like that.

20 LeFox 04.04.07 at 1:49 pm

I missed yesterday’s Toesday spectacular. D:

Glad I caught the encore! Stretch those toesies, bunneh, strreeetch!

21 BunFF 04.04.07 at 2:04 pm

Bunnehs don’t have claws??? Must be Freddy Krueger gloves that rip me up when i cut my foster bunnehs…uh…um…nails……..

OH the toes!!! Oh the ears!!! Ginny is priceless!!!!!! EVERYDAY IS TOESDAY!! VIVA LA TOESDAY!!!

22 Me! 04.04.07 at 2:05 pm

Didja see the white-spotted tock-tops?????

23 zeldapie 04.04.07 at 2:14 pm

OMG, he has Basset Hound ears! WOW!

24 DKN 04.04.07 at 2:15 pm

Eeeeeep!!!! Bunneh toes! Oh Noes!

*falls down dead*

25 Laura B. 04.04.07 at 2:19 pm

It’s a bunny that thinks it’s a kitty! I want to scritch its head.

26 kat 04.04.07 at 2:22 pm

GAH!!! Bunnah toesssss!
Better then coffee in the morning :)

27 Wendy 04.04.07 at 2:27 pm

Bunnies don’t have sharp claws? *looks down at the 4 parallel claw-lines all the way down my chest* That’s news to me!

(and never pick up a squirmy bunny while you are wearing a deep V-neck sweater – important safety tip….)

Srsly – I have to trim my bun’s nails once a month. Hers are the think blunt kind but my former fosterbunny had little needles – and they curved down into some serious points before I gave him a good trimming.

28 BeeCee 04.04.07 at 2:35 pm

um, how about a Tocksday too?

(-.-)//

29 pjk 04.04.07 at 2:36 pm

Any one else hear “Star Wars” theme music here?

30 bucky 04.04.07 at 2:48 pm

31 you guys r silly 04.04.07 at 2:50 pm

33 Redzilla 04.04.07 at 3:10 pm

But Meg, I’m confused. Isn’t *tomorrow* Earsday? [hint hint]

34 leah 04.04.07 at 3:13 pm

THOSE EARS ARE HUGE !!!!!!
NICE MORNING STREACH, GOTTA PREPARE FOR MY YOGA CLASS LATER TODAY. HEY MAYBE I’LL MISS TODAY AND JUST DO BIO-FEEDBACK . WONDERFUL PIC MADE ME GRIN AND MY GUYS CRAZY, HERE.

35 BunFF 04.04.07 at 3:15 pm

Wendy, i usually end up bleeding the first few times i do a new fosters’ nails. I’m either watchin the feet and get it with the teeth or vice versa…

Nature of the beast i guess ;D

PJK and Bucky,
I didn’t see it until you pointed it out, but now i have the Star Wars theme stuck in my head!

36 bigc 04.04.07 at 3:19 pm

41 Subhangi 04.04.07 at 3:39 pm

Wow, didn’t know buns had webbed feet!

42 Robbie 04.04.07 at 4:09 pm

OMG, I’ve never seen splayed bunny feet! Too cute!

I hate to say it, but something about the bunny’s ears remind me of Jar Jar Binks.

43 Hazel 04.04.07 at 4:15 pm

Doesn’t it just make you smile a self-satisfied sort of smile when a nuff displays their ignorance in such a public manner??
o’course buns got claws… how the hell do you think they dig holes in the ground to live in… shovels???

Brill ears tho.. that bun will never freeze…

44 Hathor 04.04.07 at 4:15 pm

OMG, Harry was right! Paper bags DO have bunnies in them!

47 Hazel 04.04.07 at 4:19 pm

48 Yitzysmommie 04.04.07 at 4:20 pm

I can’t decide which is cuter, the toesies or the earsies….

49 Lone 04.04.07 at 4:21 pm

We can rebuild it, we have the technology. The 6 Billion Dollar Bunny.

50 Rumi 04.04.07 at 4:32 pm

Wow — I thought this was cute when I saw the face and ears, and then I scrolled down and saw the streeeeeeetched out toes, lol! Uber-cute!

51 Arvay 04.04.07 at 4:34 pm

Holy ears, batman!

52 ThreeCatNight 04.04.07 at 4:40 pm

“Oh my heavens! You’ve caught me without my polish! What’s a bunny to do?”

54 atomicthumbs 04.04.07 at 4:51 pm

Bunny overshot the end of the runway a bit.

59 jen 04.04.07 at 5:37 pm

hey! this bunneh is waiting for her manicure. do not dawdle or she will disapprove. she wants candy apple red please, 2 coats, stat.

60 leah 04.04.07 at 5:55 pm

don’t you mean it was PAWpular? I never miss a chance at a pun.

61 Chris B. 04.04.07 at 6:16 pm

My Snorgle Bunny looks like this one except shorter ears. She loves to have the tips of her ears gently rubbed and hates her monthly nail trimming.

62 clearly 04.04.07 at 6:39 pm

Obvies, Bunbun is rehearsing for a piano recital. Something from Tchaikovsky, I’ll bet.

63 Shadyman 04.04.07 at 7:22 pm

Awww.
Usually buns follow with a HUGE-MONGOUS YAWN.

64 eruntale 04.04.07 at 7:36 pm

OMG that bunny!

65 The Chipnotizer 04.04.07 at 7:58 pm

Another furlicious day!!! This bunneh is obviously the toes-t of the hood, nose whats cute and is ears ahead of it’s time-”Gonna Fly Now…”

66 R. Moore 04.04.07 at 8:00 pm

That’s actually a little scary. It’s reminding me of a movie monster, but I’m not sure which one. It’s gotta be from one of the trippy sci fi flicks my sister/her boyfriend/mine has shown me.

Darn subconscious making cute less cute :(

67 R. Moore 04.04.07 at 8:02 pm

Oh wow, I just realized it freaks me out because it was how I envisioned a character in a story *I* wrote. Granted, my SO wrote the description of the character, and when I read it I started screeching.

My mind is a very dark and dangerous place, it appears. But also has the guts of a seven year old girl.

68 lauowolf 04.04.07 at 8:09 pm

Bunbun’s getting limbered up for the weekend.

69 Mondaygirl 04.04.07 at 8:12 pm

She lloks just like Silene the demon bird from Devilman to me, but in a cute way.

70 Martha in Washington 04.04.07 at 8:24 pm

I hope bunneh doesn’t trip over them ears. Basset hound ears indeed!

71 Jaye 04.04.07 at 8:30 pm

Bunnyowners…any foolproof tips for bunny claw trimming? I (sadly) let my bunny’s claws get way too long because he is so difficult to trim. With black claws, it’s hard to tell where the quick is without having a third or fourth hand to hold a flashlight up to the claw. Difficult. :( I wish bunnies would use a scratching post and wear ‘em down.

72 BunFF 04.04.07 at 9:28 pm

Unfortunately, nothing is “foolproof”. The best idea is less is better with dark nails if you are unsure…

If you aren’t sure, just take off the tip. You’ll have to trim more often, but better safe than sorry.

Here are some links that i hope help…

(also, my dirty little secret is, while i have no problem trimming my foster bunnehs nails, i take Max to the vet for them to trim his nails…because Max doesn’t like his nails trimmed, and well, i am easily swayed when it comes to Max = P)

73 Birdchick 04.04.07 at 9:31 pm

Best Bunny Photo on CO ever!

Brilliant Bunny Toes!

74 joools 04.04.07 at 9:43 pm

Total Jar Jar Binks. Thanks peeps, I never woulda dredged up that name by myself.

75 UR 04.04.07 at 11:16 pm

I’m touchin’ UR floor. . .

76 Sara P. 04.04.07 at 11:27 pm

That bunny is absolutely adorable. The ears look like he could take off at any moment.

And fryingpan, I’ve seen my rabbit spread his toes like that, and he is soooooooo cute when he does it =p I think you need a rabbit.

77 Marie 04.04.07 at 11:49 pm

Seriously, one of the best rabbit shots EVER! Love it! ;D

78 pjk 04.05.07 at 2:56 am

Jar Jar Binks! Thanks! I couldn’t remember the name, just kept thinking “Star Wars”.

79 acelightning 04.05.07 at 6:01 am

Bunnytoes! And a s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y bunny, with the most redonkulous ears I’ve ever seen on a bun!

Cats and rabbits have a lot in common – it’s almost as if they’re the “predator” and “herbivore” versions of the same basic model. In particular, both rabbits and cats seem to stretch and yawn in the exact same ways.

80 Rachel 04.05.07 at 6:02 am

Speaking of bunnies, anyone notice the Pontiac Solstice looks kinda like one?
The grille on the from is the two front teefs and the wide set headlights are its eyes….

81 Snorga 04.05.07 at 7:14 am

First of all, I just love BSG references. ;-)

Second, that is such an adorable bun! It’s funny how in kids’ books and cartoons the bunnies usually have long ears that stick WAY up, when in reality bunnies seem to (I’m no expert here) either have huge ears that hang down or relatively short ears that stick up.

The claws thing sure made me chuckle–cartoon bunnies may not have claws, but real bunnies do, just like dogs and even hamsters. Not retractable kitty-claws, but claws just the same. Of course, anecdotal proof is not proof at all, so perhaps this will help fryingpan.

Wikipedia, always an excellent source. Information is in “Housing” section, fourth paragraph from header.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit

Louisiana Veterinary Medical Association website, the “Handling” section of the page.
http://www.lvma.org/rabbit.html

Galen’s Garden, a popular pet information site. Third paragraph from the top of the page.

(I don’t mean to be patronizing. The purpose of posting sources is to avoid giving simple, sourceless opinions as fact, which is ultimately the mistake of fryingpan and others.)

thank you Meg! Toeses are my favorite things EVER. (only my fiance and I call them “toads.” Every day is Toesday in our house! :D )

89 Samantha 04.06.07 at 1:51 am

And, regarding the “buns don’t have sharp claws” comment, I ask ye, have thou neverst read “Watership Down” ???

Obvi not !!!!

90 E. Collison 04.06.07 at 5:51 am

Just about everything you ever needed to know about rabbit care is here:

Please keep bunnies inside, as loved family pets – not in hutches.

And I’m so glad to see that Ginny finally made it to CO – w00t!

Haha, I think he was hungry, as it was around breakfast time, he also likened them to sausage sandwiches….. lol!
