‘Scuse me while I lay this five-part scrolldown on y’all, lapine style.  Can’t go wrong with the classics!

“C” is for Cookie
…and It’s good enough for “Desdemona”, a bunny and cookie thief. Photo by Kem Sypher, winner of the 2004 Oregon Humane Society’s photo contest. Submitted by Bens, who wishes us all a Merry Pigmas.

You heard me, Kuki.

Quick! Let’s scurry!
OK, first of all, this is one awesome photograph, Emily M. It’s really beautiful—kinda along the lines of Died and Gone to Heaven. Can’t you imagine that you’re in this field, and this teeeeny bunny comes up to you, and she’s all; “Come with me! I’ll show you the secret bunny burrow—we’ll be safe there! But we must hurry!”

3 jug 07.19.09 at 2:02 pm

12 Von Zeppelin 07.19.09 at 3:19 pm

Theo, it is yours. (Bows graciously, doffs tricorn hat).

13 Melvin 07.19.09 at 3:27 pm

OHOHOH! I know the first bunneh. :D

I’m from Oregon and entered that contest with my kitteh, Bluto!

He didn’t win though. :sad:

14 kibblenibble 07.19.09 at 3:29 pm

First picture makes me crave sweets. *grabs bun and tray of cookies, scurries off*

15 cobratoes 07.19.09 at 3:36 pm

Yaaaay! Bunday!

16 sexymeow 07.19.09 at 3:56 pm

I love bunnies, one of my favorite animals!

17 Skip 07.19.09 at 4:00 pm

Woooooo! *falls in*

18 Wend 07.19.09 at 4:15 pm

Hurrah for Bunday, the best day of the week!

19 Marie 07.19.09 at 4:42 pm

More Bundays like this! YESSSSSSS

20 Aly 07.19.09 at 4:55 pm

Yay! I sometimes think that Sunday Bunday is better than Caturday.

21 shampoo 07.19.09 at 5:00 pm

awww! love the bunnies. sooo cute. :)

22 Lindsay 07.19.09 at 5:41 pm

Yay for bunnies! We can never have enough bunnies!

23 Blondie 07.19.09 at 5:47 pm

Hey, You know what? A round cookie with one bite out of it looks like a “C”. A round donut with one bite out of it also looks like a “C” but it is not as good as a cookie. Oh, and the moon sometimes looks like a “C” but you can’t eat that
So…
“C” is for cookie that’s good enough for me, Oh! cookie, cookie, cookie starts with “C”!

[Yep, somebody else who's my age... ;) - Ed.]

24 Purple 07.19.09 at 6:11 pm

That last one, the bunneh near the center…I need to kiss him. Right on the soft spot between his little furry ears. Mmmmm.

25 AmyJ 07.19.09 at 6:23 pm

Bunanza?

I love the look on first buns face – she’s all “why yes, this is a cookie, is there some problem with that?” But all the pictures are scrumptious, a smorgasbord of delectable noses and earses.

(By the way, didn’t ICHC run second bun picture with a caption similar to Von Zep’s hovertext?)

26 AmyJ 07.19.09 at 6:25 pm

Here’s the link. I like Von Zeppelin’s version better:

[Yeah, and I also notice how the ICHC banner covers Tanya's copyright. :P - Ed.]

27 nismo 07.19.09 at 6:38 pm

Ah, a bunnilicious bunday. Which reminds me…it’s time for my Sunday Cinnamon.

28 Mady 07.19.09 at 6:54 pm

I <3<3<3 Bunday!

29 Birdcage 07.19.09 at 7:06 pm

Thank you, CO. I was blue and the one with the cookie …. well, that was a cute one, weren’t it?

30 free games for kids 07.19.09 at 7:46 pm

OMG! The 2nd image! It’s so adorable! Tougue! Tougues are cute on animals! =D

31 GreenTimes 07.19.09 at 8:11 pm

OMG!! Cute!! I love this website, it really brings a smile to your face on an otherwise horrid start of the working week day!

32 Leslie (NTA) 07.19.09 at 8:30 pm

Funny, but I had a somewhat *different* picture in my mind, of The Cookie Monster???
Maybe he’s had some plastic surgery??

33 pyrit 07.19.09 at 8:45 pm

Back again – guess I’m a glutton for bunishment!

34 Nu 07.19.09 at 9:11 pm

YAY BUNDAY!!!!! This weekend, in busy downtown Toronto, I saw a man pushing a baby carriage stroller with a bunny in it. On a leash. Wearing a camo t-shirt that matched his dad’s pants. There were so many layers to what was happening there, I didn’t know what to with myself. The bunny was adorable and looked very self-assured and not petrified as i might have expected. So it was a bunny-filled weekend, thanks CO!

35 Michael Claymore 07.19.09 at 9:36 pm

Aww, they’re gorgeous. I find it troubling, however, that the first one is stealing food, the second one is being rude and in the third pic they are making out! What happened to Norman Rockwell’s America?

[Eaten by "Family Guy" years ago. Oh well. - Ed.]

36 sn5 07.19.09 at 9:40 pm

Desdemona????

The look on her face just killed me…r they serious????!!!!!!

37 danielie 07.20.09 at 12:03 am

BUNNIES, yes! My day is officially made. :D

I love ALL of these pictures. <3 The first bunny is about to make a run for it, the second one's tongue is too tiny and cute to be real, the two bunnies in the third picture are sharing a private moment (hee hee), the fourth bunny is totally a spirit guide and for the last one… I wouldn't mind being out in a sea of bunnies.

Bunday is win.

38 Michael Claymore 07.20.09 at 2:21 am

I think by the time Peter Griffin got to it, most of that particular dough-nut had already been devoured by Homer Simpson!

[I did think about citing the Simpsons, but they're not as nasty about it. - Ed.]

39 Michael Claymore 07.20.09 at 2:23 am

I hope for Desdemona’s sake there are no Othellos in her hutch!

40 Grannie 07.20.09 at 5:56 am

Hmm, I do not dream of going into a claustrophobic bunny burrow. I dream of hearing “You’ve won LOTTO! Do you want that 12 million as a lump sum or an annuity?” And Cookie Man, cookies are NOT better than doughnuts. But the fact that you think so leaves more doughnuts for me….

41 T.U.M. 07.20.09 at 6:18 am

Come with me,
My hon,
To the sea,
The Sea of Buns.
I’m gonna tell you
Oh, how much
I love buns.

Do you remember,
Don’t forget -
I want a bunny
For my pet.
I’m gonna tell you
Oh, how much
I love buns.

42 Juno 07.20.09 at 6:40 am

Awww, the bunny with the cookie is one of my favorites. She’s all, “This is just gonna be our little secret, right?”

And T.U.M.: Love the song. “Sea of Love” is one of my favorite movies, I’ve watched it a gazillion times, and I love the Tom Waits’ version of the song that plays over the credits at the end.

43 lisa 07.20.09 at 6:52 am

1st photo – - C is for “CAUGHT”!

44 thepetmuseum 07.20.09 at 7:06 am

T.U.M. — I can hear the sweeping violins now. Ahhhh.
And love the bunny tongue: “Phbbbt!!”

45 LisaL 07.20.09 at 7:26 am

Baby bunbun tongue photo is one of my favs. Loves it!

46 Katrina 07.20.09 at 8:16 am

B is for bunny, dat good enough for me. I sing the “C song” to Killer when she gets a cookie-yes, of course she recognizes it now. I always remember Candice Bergen singing it on the Sesame Street, what a great rendition of a great ‘tune’.

Thanks for all the bun-buns, CO! Perfect cap to a perfect day!

47 Kristabelle 07.20.09 at 8:35 am

C is for Cookie! Cookie, cookie, cookie, just for ME!!!!!!! Sesame Street wins EVERYTHING. :)

Love that first photo.

48 Sweeda 07.20.09 at 9:31 am

Omg, this is so cute! They remind me of the teeny tiny bunneh I saw on my sidewalk yesterday. My dog was going nuts, so I looked out to see what the heck was going on. Mind you, she was barking at the rabbit as if there were a burglar there. I looked and saw this teeny bunny and laughed because my big dog was making such a fuss, while I just wanted to snuggle the bunneh! lol.

49 KittyAdventures 07.20.09 at 9:33 am

AWWWW BUNNNIEZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Silly me not going to CO Sunday afternoon.

50 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 10:12 am

Yes. *Do* love von Z’s hover! (Missed original, tho)

Ta first pic is one of the first I saved for my (now overflowing) CO screensaver slideshow.

Nismo – doncha mean your Sunday Cinna*bun*? (tiddy-boom!)

Quick! Let’s scurry! makes me think of the animals in The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe – calling you to an important meeting. There was a skwerl on a treetrunk a while back who called me to such a meeting, and he’s now my wallpaper, & I named him “Narnia.”

51 Rooanne 07.20.09 at 10:17 am

OMG Bunnies!!!!

I never wanted a rabbit, never thought about having one, knew nothing about them – but I still have the bunny I found in front of my building. He looks almost like the bun in the first pic — minus cookie, dark ears usually up. With eyeliner! And I have seen his widdle tounge, seen him yawn & strech, given & received bunny kisses (I think), AND he & the cat are becoming friends! The other day the kitty was chewing on a piece of cardboard, and Bun Bun (tempoary name) went right next to kitty and started chewing cardboad too!! If only the camera wasn’t broken……..

For me, every day is Bunday!!

52 Rooanne 07.20.09 at 10:19 am

p.s. so far, my bunny is NOT very disapproving. Perhaps the stereotype is wrong?

53 ceejoe 07.20.09 at 12:43 pm

Rooanne – I’m so glad you kept him and that he and your kitteh are getting along. Bless your heart!
At this point, he’s probably still grateful you saved him – maybe the disapproval will come later, once he’s taking you for granted…

54 GingerBean 07.20.09 at 1:25 pm

The scurrying bunneh is one of the first pics I saw on Cuteoverload…one that got me hooked. HOOKED I TELL YOU!
I lurve Watership Down.

55 lrm 07.20.09 at 2:06 pm

I LOVE the bunny stealing a cookie. I had many, many bunnies growing up but I don’t remember any cookie-stealing (though some wanted to play with our cats who ignored them)! Bunnies!!! :)

56 janet2buns 07.20.09 at 3:21 pm

@Nu: That was probably Army Guy. He’s well known in the Toronto area online bunny community. He was at Rabbit Rescue’s Bunfest 2008, and I believe he’s coming to Bunfest 2009. Yay Army Guy!!!!

57 Nu 07.20.09 at 4:35 pm

OMG there’s a Bunfest??!!! I’m so there! Thanks for the heads-up

58 janet2buns 07.20.09 at 5:09 pm

There is seriously a Bunfest…..Bunfest 2009, everything bunny will be there!! For more information please visit:

59 Lula Mae 07.20.09 at 7:22 pm

Thank you for all dee bunneehs…
We need more bunneehs!
An ocean of bunneehs – pleeez!

60 Caitlin 07.20.09 at 9:40 pm

Holy crap, I forgot that there’s like nothing in the world more adorable than baby bunnehs. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!

And to think, they’ll probably all grow up to be Disapproving Rabbits…oh well, we can enjoy the cuteness now.

61 Milly 07.21.09 at 3:40 am

BUNDAY RULES!!!

Cookie stealing bun is probaby one of the best pic I have ever seen. I die and come back to life a the same time when I look at him!!!

62 Sheepy 07.21.09 at 6:18 am

That’s the same face I make when I take a cookie, too! Well, I wish I were as cute as the bunny.

63 temperance 07.21.09 at 10:18 am

is one of the rules of cuteness ‘if an animal steals food, it’s cute’ (or something like that)? if not, i would like to petition for it’s official acceptance.

64 Katrina 07.23.09 at 10:31 am

Don’t sell yourself short, Sheepy, don’t sell yourself short…..

65 Casper aka Army Guy 07.27.09 at 6:30 am

Army guy has a name ya know, it’s Casper. Although most people are more interested in the name of my bunny, which is Sunki-Tiponi. He’s been on Daily Bunny and Disapproving Rabbits. Sunki is also on Bunspace, along with the rest of my family of buns.
And yes, I will be there at Bunfest 2009, see you there Janet2buns.

66 hayley 08.09.09 at 11:46 pm
