first 10 orders get a free bunny card!

here's the pile and here's the deal. we are on a boat, which means extremely limited space. and though our bunny daddy is a kind and reasonable man, come one...can he really stand to have a 6 foot pile of apple branches on his deck for the next couple of months while he's trying to keep his gleaming anchor collection organized? ok he probably could, but we push it so much...(we, being the bunnies and i) that i for one would like to try to see how efficiently we can move this pile along to your rabbits. i haven't checked on shipping rates yet, but it will probably be close to the same as last year, and i can't remember what that was. so my best guess for now is $20 for 2 lbs of branches + shipping. i can do smaller bundles too, but i'll wait and see if anyone asks for that before i start quoting prices willy nilly. if you have any questions you can email me at prubinelli@gmail.com

bunnies untitled

just how long do i have to stare at you before you clean that hay off my ramp?!

i don't have enough room here to sing the never ending praises of dusty grimm. dusty grimm, dusty grimm, why does he sound so familiar? well my dear friends he's the master carpenter and musician extraordinaire that built our custom, ever lovin' indoor hay bale box for the bunnies! as luck would have it, that exquisite and high functioning box is now needing to find a new home since we can't fit it on our boat, damn it! so if you, or anyone you know needs an attractive solution to storing a bale of hay inside their house or apt, please let me know. all proceeds of the sale will go to our very expensive upcoming surgery! since nuage and i, along with everyone else in the world has to consider his adorable life without him having all fours, we are trying to make everything as "cush" ahead of time. once a-f'ing-gain DUSTY to the RESCUE! first he cut a hole in the wall of our boat. then he built a wrap around bunny ramp so that bells and nuage could run up and down between the first and second floor. the bunnies did not like it. despite all of our careful calculations it seemed like nuage's girth was too wide to make the turn. so we held him up again, measured his circumference has we rotated him in mid air to see just how wide this thing needed to be! then dusty replaced the entire ramp with a wider ramp to include a more gradual slope as well. guess what? it's a hit! the pitter patter of the bunny stampede that this ramp inspires on a middle of the night basis is deafening! as for nuage, his tumor is getting bigger, he's had another surgery, and at some point in the not too distant distance, the "A" word is near. anyone out ther have a 3 legged bunny? please let me know what that's like. i'm SO scared of this, but i'm trying to write about it like it's no big deal. this is supposed to be a happy bunny place, so please forgive my upbeat tone. if anyone in the portland metro area needs sensitive bunny carpentry feel free to contact dusty directly through www.grimmpop.com

nuage overexposes himself as he fights this rainbow's attempt to turn him into a pot of gold.

after all, rumor has it that sai baba protects the chosen ones from wealth.

happy 2.22....we're pure magic, are you?

in honor of february 22nd, my most synchronicitous number... we all know bunnies are the most incredible creatures on the face of the earth and beyond, but have you experienced their inexplicable magic? is it just the power of cute? maybe you have an explanation for the seemingy inexplicable nature of their influence? please let me know some magic bunny stories as i try to figure out how to tell you mine.

vogueing on the pier

for any of you who have wondered about the sense of scale of this bunny, i hope this really messes you up.

tearing down the pier

poopin' on the pier

self explanatory.

everyone is just fine.

this is to soothe you and ward off any potential alarm that you may experience after reading some of our new posts.

the first morning

"the first morning" what? i guess you're just going to have to read about it! please scroll down.

primed and ready to paint

if some of you have forgotten how fabulous 1970's wood panelling can be, just let me know and i'll be glad to send along some images of the boat interior before we primed. this isn't a trick photo, there aren't any bunnies here, just trying to give you a little buffer before reading the next post!

the english (angora) patient

as far as vet rooms go, this one couldn't get much better. although the diagnosis could've been. nuage had/has a bump on his sweet little ankle. we tried to remove it surgically, with some luck we have slowed it down considerably. it might be growing back, and if it is it is doing so very slowly. we've been watching lots of three legged bunny videos just in case! not trying to be flippant here, just keeping a good attitude...i know this is news for you all...but we've been processing this now for months.

who's more shocked, me or you?

these bunnies have not set paw on land for over 2 months...except for the occasional vet appt's.

say goodbye to hollywood

and hello to the williamette river!

something is a little different

and it's not nuage...although nuage is also a little different.

upon a time...

any of you bloggers out there ever get insta-dyslexia or wish you had it since that might make posting easier? i usually just shut myself down when trying to tell a story that has some sort of cohesion, i've tried to reverse the whole damn thing since images post from the last upload on down, telling it backwards so that it reads from the top of the page downwards and then you try to explain it and it gets even more confusing...throwing chronology overboard, here goes!!

here's the scene



notice bells periscoping to see the ducks? what's with these bunnies?! i was expecting occasional stomping and some sort of nervousness. nope nothing like that at all.

the plan is to move our little family off this land lock, out to the river and mark twain it up a bit! see that sturdy houseboat in the background (a few photos/posts down)....we're dreaming of something like that. the big question of course standing between us and our freedom is: how would the bunnies handle it? not sure! so we took them on a test "sit" yesterday on our sailboat to see how their sweet sea legs would hold up. they seemed to have a great time and were very curios about it all. even when the waves cane rolling in they kept eating and looking around for their next petting admirers to stroll up and drop to their knees with the typical attack of cute overload.

i do not recommend taking bunnies out on sailboats in general but these guys have been on so many adventures they almost seem to need them at this point. just hanging out at home listening to dungen and pat methany all day has it's perks, but they were pretty excited about ruling the marina.
