Move over Peter Rabbit

Anyone who grew up with Beatrix Potter's books, will know that Peter Rabbit was notorious for getting himself in trouble and having all sorts of naughty adventures.
Well now there's a new naughty bunny in town, and her name is LilyBelle.

She will be 2 months old tomorrow and I have had her for 2 weeks yesterday, hence I have decided that she has reached the 'terrible twos' stage.

I experienced every parents nightmare the other day when Aunty Shelley and Aunty Amber came to visit the new arrival and I could not find her. We spent the next hour or so tearing my house apart and crawling around in the dirt with a torch looking under the house. No bunny. By this time I was bawling my eyes out and ready to turn myself into the SPCA for bad parenting.

So, just when the Shambles left, I went into the bathroom to blow my nose and who should come hopping out of the laundry room covered in dirt, but my little LilyBelle who was then smothered in Aunty and Mummy cuddles.
Apparently behind the washing machine is a very good place for bunnies to have adventures!

Then I spent last night bunny proofing the house some more. Little Miss has learnt to jump onto shelves and push all Mum's pretty breakable ornaments to the floor. Not cutie cutie. Ok, maybe a little cutie cutie, especially when she peeks out at me and seems to be saying, "Look what I can do! Aren't I clever?!"

As you can tell, I love my little girl very much and can spend hours watching her race around the living room doing some spectacular gymnastic jumps and flips and giving her cuddles (when she'll let me)!
The constant toe licking is tickling a little less now, but the occassional nips still hurt! Ouch!

Toilet training is improving, although I have had to remove all my shoes from sight. Apparently they make a very comfy potty! LilyBelle definately has a foot fetish!

Oh, and all the special bunny treats I spent money on are apparently not very tasty at all. Hmm.
Not to mention her lovely two story rabbit hutch which I spent an afternoon painting pink, and turning red in the sun in the process. She spent the first couple of nights in there, and then as she got used to being inside, she was not at all happy when she was put back in there the third time. And big softie that I am, I have let her stay indoors permanently now.

Ah, the things we do for our pets!
