And Lion Makes Three

Yep, nothing to see here, just your normal family: Mom and Dad, a dog, a bunny… and a lion cub. When Simba became ill, zookeepers cared for him at home, where he befriended Monty the dog and Thumper the rabbit.
Awww, cute kitty… cute doggy…. cute – - DON’T EAT THE BUNNY! BAD kitty!!
yesh, that totes looks like he’s starting to chew and then he’s all…”nope, just cuddlin’, really…bunneh isn’t tasty at ALL!…I was just helpin get rid of some fleas, yeah, fleas, that’s my story….”
It would be cool to get up in the morning to make a rest stop and have a leetle lion cub clinging to me. All I get to do now in the morning is step in cat barf…
maybe the Universe is TRAINING you for your Ultimate Destiny, Saffron.
Maybe, one day …..
*begins daydreaming about bebbeh Rions living at Saffron’s place*
(Note:
when you’re a Marshmallow-skinned ‘Mericun, who has lived in Japan, you begin wording everything as some Japonais pronounce some words in “Engrish”….
I have a book in my shelves, which is titled “Too Far East, Too Long”, based on the same logic..)
“Marshmallow-skinned” *snerk* The new descriptor I’m using for my skin!
So Saffron, are you saying you’d like some lion barf?
Aaaaggh! Slay me! Baby lion cuddling (??) with bunny and man with Scottish brogue. I is ded.
me two, Michelle.
*collapses in agonee of cuteness*
I just returned from the Ohio Scottish Games and there were no lion cubs or bunnies! I want my money back!
Oh, but surely there men with Scots accents.
Lucky you.
there WERE men. fer heaven’s sake.
and those adorable little kilts!
not as cute as lion cubs wif buns & pups, but adorable.
You mean tossing the telephone pole isn’t enough for you?
Oh those kilt wearing, strapping young men tossing about cabers and such were totally awesome. Some of them even had lovely accents that made me weak in the knees. There were highland cattle, clydesdales, a falconer, sheep dog demos and lovely bagpipe bands but no lion cubs or bunnies were to be found. Clearly those of us in attendance were completely ripped off. Sternly written letters of complaint are being composed.
Lunachick, were you at the games in Wellington?
Yes, yes I was!
That’s where I’m from! Grew up there. Closer to Cleveland now, but it’s not often someone knows of Wellington!
Grew up attending the Lorain County fair there
My mom was the organist for the fair’s horse show for many years. And my first Dutch bunny came home with me from there when I was about 7 
I agree.
Moska… I did lots of 4H projects there… grew up in Huntington Twp, and now my parents are in Wellington.
What are the chances!!!
AWWW nuts ! I thought I was gonna be the first comment ! Shucks , didn’t quite make it ! Anyway , that was a great video . In the wild both the dog & bunny would’ve been dinner and lunch for the king of the beasts ! BUT NOT THIS TIME !!! WHEW !
Well, maybe not the dog. Aren’t carnivores bad eatin’?
When you’re the king of beasts you get to eat whoever you want or whoever is available come dinnertime !!!
I’ve heard that alligators are tasty.
They taste like chicken.
Wow! I want to be awakened in the morning by a lion cub pulling back the covers. Or Hugh Jackman. Either one.
Can I interest you in an ISEDH (™, pat. pending)?
did you turn in your application pkg yet (items in triplicate),
to the Lib/ Congress in DC, Theresa?? If not, I’ll be HAPPY to take it there, for you!!!
Signed,
J. Wellington Wimpy
I’ll buy you a hamburger, Firdie.
Ok, Theresa, remind me, pleeeze.
“Inter-dimensional Stable of __?__ __?__ Husbands.”
I need to set up one of these myself. Do I need tools or a permit to build it? And how do you get them INTO said stable?
Invisible Stable of Extra-Dimensional Husbands. You just will it into existence. It’s my gift to humanity.
*waving hands benevolently*
PS: You’re all welcome.
I don’t want an EDH. Could I please instead have a kitten?
An EDK? I think, with a minor adjustment, we can swing that.
Theresa, you’re *SO* benevolent !!! wow.
does “extra-dimensional” mean anything to do with size?
Or are they in a different dimension and we don’t have to
pick up after them in THIS dimension? Difficult choice.
Good question. No, it’s not size (unless you want it to be
). It’s that whatever dimension they are in (both time and space-wise), they can be in your “stable.” It’s genius, if I say so myself. 
Thank you, Theresa!
I like how making it involves no work at all! 
Sorry I screwed up the name…
*makes benevolent gesture again* Not at all, 6rabbits. Just write in my name on your Nobel Prize ballot.
ooooh, it’s like a really, super-duper, extra-special room of requirement…
But it’s SCIENCE™!
How about rolling over in bed to find Hugh Jackman under the covers and pouncy lion cub on top of covers?
See, that’s how I know I’m still asleep. I’m all, “Again?!?” And then I wake up for reals. It’s always disappointing.
I’m telling you, you are all ready for the ISEDH(™, pat. pending).
I am pretty sure his wife and adopted daughter would not be amused…. =(
Ah, but Johnny Depp is back on the market.
YUM
now you’re talkin’…
Hugh Jackman, in my bed, cuddling a lion cub? *sigh*
I’m pretty sure that bunny is not amused. Remember how rabbits are snack animals and lions are predators?
“snack animals?!”
in the words of theo, “snerk.”
So now you’re a Snerk Animal, right!?
I snerked at that!
We have any number of snerk animals here.
i know! “in the words of [insert all regulars names here]” just didn’t have the ring.
snerk animals. heh.
I always refer to them as forest munchies.
I disagree. I have a rabbit & he loves my cat….. he does the exact same thing, putting his head down like that. It’s submissive behavior. If Thumper didn’t like the lion cub he’d be hiding.
I do find the term “snack animals” amusing though!
Snack Animals…so much nicer than Prey…but now I picture the big cats lying around on couches in dirty undershirts and boxers with beers and cartons of snacks….
that descripshon totally wirks 4 meeeee
Matchinks x 3! Beige Akita, bun and cub.
I like the ‘Why, no, Mum, I wasn’t gnawing bunquarters. Why do you ask?’ look, right after the Axis of Snorglage.
First, “Axis of Snorglage” WINS!
Second, caption/quote exactly captures cub’s expression!
Third, bun says “TEETH! TEETH! He’s-not-licking-anymore, Mum!!”
Of all the inter-species snorglings I’ve seen here at CO, THIS duo takes the cake!
“Bunquarters” Snerk
I wanna bunneh and a visiting Lion cub.
*pouts*
*looks out, from under eyelids, to see if my pouting has caused anybody to knock on my front door with bunny and lion cub*
Lion cub: Hummm…tastes good can I eatz it?
Rabbit: HELP!
Lion cub: Hummm…tastes good can I eatz it?
Rabbit: HELP!
Not a chance,Ms. Birfle! Pouting doesn’t work! You hasta go get your owns. Partickly lion bebehs. They just doesn’t grow on trees, ya know!
*puts fingers into ears*
“LA LA LA I CAIN”T HEAR YOU LA LA LA”
I am SO concerned for the bunnehsons in this picture. The dog is clearly seen as the lion cubs playmate but poor Mr McBunnehsons is definitely a prey item! Oh my lord I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
cub knows no prey. only fwends now.
Relax. If that lion cub saw the rabbit as prey, the rabbit would’ve been digested by now.
I also don’t think mom/dad would have allowed that to happen. It’s a family pet.
Awww, the bunny is named “Thumper”? I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of that name before. I guess it’s because they thump their back feet or something?
Sorry, with the lion named “Simba” and after having worked a very busy week with every other black lab named “Shadow” and every third animal from a shelter named “Lucky” I couldn’t help myselfs.
Thank god Monty wasn’t their pet python! I might have exploded.
Dear Mamabear, WAKE UP ALREADY ! Thumper was the name of Bambi’s largomorphic companion !
…or are U familiar with Disney films ?
Bob… it was sarcasm.
mamabear forgot to use the “sarcasm” sign. LOLZ
There ya go, you got it.
I hate to signal with a ‘sarcasm’ tag, though. I figure that if someone doesn’t get it, then that joke just wasn’t for them. That said, I thought my second and third paragraphs were a huge signal that I was being snarky. I’m surprised the dog wasn’t named Pluto or Goofy, depending upon whether the dog could speak or not.
A lion cub romping with an Akita and a bunny, and a man with a beautiful brogue. Be still my heart!
“Brogue” is Irish, Scots would be “burr”
Lived with both growing up. Both are
lovely comfy sounds to me.
That´s so adorable!
And I´m so very glad to see that the baby lion has *claws* cause in the UK it´s illegal to declaw.
Just like that religious text that everyone likes to quote sez, “And the bebeh lion shall lie down with the bunneh wabbit, and there shall be squee upon the earth.”
I need to get a better Bible translation. NIV has very little squee in it.
I thought of Woody Allen’s line from Love and Death,”The lion will lie down with the lamb, but the lamb will not be very sleepy”.
AWW
I am glad to hear that the lion cub is going to be okay 
Sunshine, Lollipops and…. BUNNIES everywhere!!!
Is that a 20 lb rabbit? It’s almost as big as the cub!
