Sisters Think It's Sunday

Root Beer Float and Ruby Jane should know better. Their weekend day of play and grass-hopping frivolity is Sunday. However, they indignantly thumped today as Chip and Cherry Bugg hopped free in the back yard.

Chip was only out for a few hours as he can only spend so much time sitting under an orange tree. He'd rather sit in a corner and stare at a wall.

The girls (as they would ideally be seen on the right) ran in circles in their cage with Ruby Jane every so often nibbling RBF in the butt to show her displeasure. Mister John did give them some hay this afternoon but that was about it. Somehow they mystically empty their water dish every time as well.

Was That a Bugg Butt? (no, another kind)

Root Beer Float headbutted her sister today to get at some tasty greens. She didn't think that anyone was watching but Mister John gets home earlier now from summer school and watched this incident underneath the orange tree. She headbutted her a second time as well. Usually her sister Ruby Jane is the assertive one but maybe it's RBF's turn to lay down the backyard law.

None of the bunnies look forward to Independence Day. Well, first of all, they do not get any independence (which will be added in a later blog). Secondly, all the noise in the neighborhood from neighbor's illegal fireworks (always illegal in LA but can be bought in Culver City) startle them just a tad.
