We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program

"We," of course, in the royal sense of the word.

Zoe here.

I have to do all the work, as usual.

You see, this house has been more like some sort of sanatorium than an actual home filled with fun and creativity.

First, the Blisschick, or as I call her "Secondary Mama," got taken down by some gross, personality sucking bug.

And as expected, Primary Mama has followed suit.

I think I hear her downstairs hacking up internal organs while watching The Incredibles, which is a pretty good movie considering there are no rabbits.

You must be concerned about me. I would think that would be what is weighing on your mind.

I am fine. Rabbits do not get human bugs.

More importantly, my salad and hay supply has not been interrupted at all. Though, I am not being Admired nearly enough.

That is how YOU could help! YOU could send some admiration my way! Yes! Just think or talk about how pretty and soft and sweet and smart I am! That should help a lot!

Thank you.

Oh.

And if you feel like it, you could send some healing thoughts to my Primary Mama, but do not let that get in the way of the Real Work. Priorities, you know.

Flip Friday

OK, so I was going to show you a video starring myself and a llama.

But, after not having Zoe videos lately, I thought I shouldn't hog the camera time for myself.

Zoe really deserves the Spotlight, after all.

Me? I'm only human. And really, well, what more can I say on that subject?

On to the videos, then.

We'll save Miss Zoe's for last and start with one of Miss Lilly. We've been trying to catch her "kitten pounce" as we call it on film for some time now. We finally got it!

In the credits of Kitten Pounce: The Movie, you probably saw the shout out to someone called Green Marble Poodle. Green Marble Poodle is a family heirloom of the Blisschick's, and I think he deserves to have fame outside of the house. Therefore:

And finally, what you come here for. A little bit o' Rabbit:

Tune in next week for.... well.... probably more Rabbit.

Isn't that what matters in this life?

Have a great weekend!!

Sneak Peek

Zoe and I have been working on a little something special.

We'll tell you about it.

In a minute.

Zoe wants the anticipation to build for a minute.

First, she's going to show you a picture of Herself. If you're lucky, She'll share two.

"Why not?" She asks while taking a little bath next to the hay box. "It's what I do. They want to see Me after all."

True. Isn't it?

First, then, are two pictures of what Miss Zoe is currently doing:

A bird's eye view to show off her Lovely Spots!

And a ground shot so you can clearly see
Her annoyance at your impatience.
"Humans!" She scoffs.

As you can see, She is lounging.

That's because of all the hard work she did today!

On, then, to the Sneak Peek.

As you know, we discussed last week the fact that Halloween is on the way. It's an exciting time of year, here at the Lilypad.

In honor of the excitement and to help build up to the holiday, Miss Zoe and I have painted about a dozen Halloween Bunnies. Bunnies in costumes. Bunnies who want to Trick you rather than Treat you.

But you can give Them a Treat.

Of course you can!

(WRITE THIS DOWN!!! Bunnies like carrots and banana chips especially well. And raisins, and kale, and alfalfa, and cherries, and timothy hay, and apples, and romaine lettuce, and herbs, and parsley, and, well.....you get the idea.)

Ready? OK!! (Sorry the picture quality is poor. The light is low in the Rabbit Room this morning. But, you'll get the idea i hope.)

Full Body

Detail

This is, of course, a Witchy Rabbit, but there are many more bunnies painted on small, wooden, hang-able or sit-able plaques and dressed in different costumes!

There's a SuperBunny!

A BunnyZorro!

A BunnyPirate!!

And Many More!!!!!

The Blisschick is in the process of loading them up into a store, and then they'll all be needing good homes!!

How about it? Will you help a Rabbit in need of a home? It will promise not to eat much.

But, I can't promise These Rabbits will be nice..... You're on your own with that!

A Kite Meditation

Here in Erie, PA, today is a holiday.

Labor Day, that is.

"But, what does that mean to me?" asked Zoe the Rabbit. "Rabbits don't work."

"Well," I responded, scratching her fuzzy little nose, "what do Rabbits do that you would like to talk about, then?"

"Hmmmm...." Miss Zoe thought to herself.

After a few minutes, she said, "Rabbit's Relax. I would like this to be a Relaxing sort of day."

And, really, being as most all of us have the day off from work due to the holiday that is Labor Day, it is more of a Relaxing Day.

In honor of Zoe's Relaxing Day, then, we would like to share a video. I know. It's another uncustomary video.

First, Cinematic Saturday,and now this???

Bear with us. I think you'll like it.

Over this weekend, the Blisschick and I spent some time at Presque Isle State Park. And one of the things we enjoyed most was visiting the beach Erieites call "the Kite Beach."

Behold! The Kite Beach:

A good way to Relax, don't you think?

Spend some time today relaxing like a rabbit. You'll be glad you did.

Cinematic Saturday

We would like to thank you for your patience during this Carrot Negotiation process. We are pleased that you've decided to return to our humble space here on the Internet, and that you are willing to give us the time necessary in order to make all parties happy with the Carrot Payment Arrangements. We hope that waiting for a Rabbit Movie has not altered your Universe in any unalterable way.

Thank You.

Now on to the movies.

First up is a reminder of last week's activities.

You recall, the Blisschick and I had gone to an event called Arts and Drafts, and about the music at that event, I had written this:

Of course, the Heliotropes played, but also my friend MusicMiles (formerly known in this blog as HealthCoach) and his friend, Brad. I took some pretty substandard video of them playing, which you may get to see on Flip Friday this week if I can put it all together.

Well, I put it all together. It's Cinematic Saturday and not Flip Friday of course, and it's a little substandard, as the videos are much too short and strung together in a weird way. But here it goes:

And, now, the moment you've been waiting for:

Have a great weekend! For those of you en los Estados Unidos, here's to a happy holiday weekend!!

A Few Words From Our Sponsor

Zoe the Rabbit, here.

I'll bet you came here today expecting to see Me starring in yet another feature film.

Is that what you came for?

What?

Do you have some sort of problem that makes you need a Rabbit Fix?

Huh?

Do you have such an infatuation that you can't live without a movie of Yours Truly even for one measly week?

Do you have some sort of Rabbit Fever, and the only cure is More Rabbit?

OK, OK. It is understandable.

Unfortunately for you, we are in contract negotiations here at Studio Lilypad.

It's sad for you. Really, really sad.

But, I'm on strike.

That's right! The Rabbit is ON STRIKE!!!

What I'm trying to say here is this: We are out of Rabbit Movies. There is No Rabbit Movie Today!!

Wait... what? Two more Carrots an hour? Is that the deal I just heard? Can we raise that to three Carrots?

OK, I'll settle for two and half more Carrots an hour.

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

I'll see you tomorrow, then. We'll call it Cinematic Saturday.

Stay tuned...



Oh, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It's Only a Harvest Moon

Can it really be that the Harvest Moon will appear this Friday?

Really?

Well, as I mentioned before, those of us in the Lilypad are actually looking forward to the coming Fall and Winter Seasons. We enjoy the hibernation aspect. We also like the feeling of the school year.

The coming Fall and the Harvest Moon always bring to mind thoughts of Holidays.

In this house, we have many Fall and Winter Holidays-- Cat Birthdays, Blisschick's Birthday, our Anniversary, various other Personal Milestone Holidays, and then of course the usual-- Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Oh, and Veteran's Day.

Wait! Did I forget something? Could it be....

HALLOWEEN????

Halloween is a treat (pun intended) in our neighborhood. We get hundreds of kids every year-- superheroes, farm animals, ninjas, witches, as well as about 50 kids wearing the mask from the Scream movies.

And, of course there's always a few adults with baby strollers collecting candy "for the baby" who clearly has no teeth and is asleep in the stroller. Whatever.

Yesterday, I started thinking through what I might be for Halloween. One year I was a Tree. One year I was Winnie the Pooh. Another year, I was a Daisy.

The Daisy really scared some children. That was a surprise. A pleasant surprise.

Miss Emmie walked by the writing room, and I called out to her, "Miss Emmie, what will you be for Halloween this year?"


She considered this for a moment. "A Bloody Halloween Cat Massacre," she responded. "Or, maybe a Princess."

I shrugged. The Cat Massacre wasn't much of a stretch for poor Miss Emmie (whose tail has been following her everywhere lately and sometimes needs to be "disciplined").

Rosie walked by. "Rosie," I asked. "How about you? What will you be for Halloween?"


"That's ridiculous," she said. "I am what I am. A Princess, of course."

I was beginning to sense a theme here.

The Blisschick ran up the stairs chasing Lilly. As they tumbled down the hall, I asked them my question.

"We're going to wear our Pink Feather Boa and our Jewelry Crown this year," said the Blisschick. "Why?" They continued down the hall.


"No reason," I replied. "Just curious." More Princesses.

I turned to Zoe.



"Don't even ask," She said. "I think you know the answer, don't you?"

I did.

5 Princesses. All in one house? What was this-- the Magic Kingdom?

When I asked Scottie, all he could do was roll his eyes. Then, he sneezed and made his way down to the couch for a bath.


I'm still not sure what I'm going to be for Halloween. But I guess there's not much room for another Princess.

Perhaps, I'll just be a Frog.

How about you?
