Bunny Rita's been a very busy girl the past few days. This might be a long one because I've been taking TONS of pictures of her.
I Love Lucy
First of all, Rita met Lucy, my nephew and his girlfriend's dog. I think that makes Lucy & Rita cousins once removed. Although these two are more like never-to-be-removed cousins. Rita is probably a month or 2 older than Lucy, and they played
hard for three hours straight. Most of my pictures from them playing outside look like this:
|
A blur or puppies |
|
Action shot! |
|
They seemed to enjoy this... |
Inside, they played a "Queen of the Bed" game that went on and on.
|
Great-white-shark teeth! |
|
A rare moment of rest |
Rita definitely LOVED Lucy and looked very sad when they left. Then she crashed!
Bunny Meets Bernie
You might remember Bernie, aka Bernie bin Laden, from
this video I posted of him back in January.Well, Bernie wanted to come down from his home in Orange County to meet Bunny Rita, so the roads were cleared, and the appropriate authorities were warned, and we signed Rita up for insurance (our first time having pup insurance, btw), and the two of them met at Fiesta Island on Monday, along with Linda, Bernie's older and wiser sister.
|
No, don't follow Bernie! That way lies nuthin' but trouble! |
|
Linda es muy linda. |
They were actually pretty tame, I think because Rita was still hung over from her play marathon with Lucy the night before.
|
A very dirty Rita |
Afterwards we went to In-N-Out, which was obviously a huge hit.
|
"Nom, nom, nom" |
|
"Are there any more Flying Dutchmen?" |
Bernie decided to give Mike the kisses he's been missing since Rita is stingy with them.
Then Bernie decided his dad might be jealous, so gave him a bunch too. Below, John demonstrates the appropriate way to receive Bernie's kisses: lips and eyes all clamped tight shut. The only problem is that Bernie then kisses your nose, sealing off your access to oxygen, so that you are forced to open your mouth. But you really don't want to do that, so it's best to just hold your breath til you pass out.
Bernie also decided I needed my makeup washed off - but I have no pictures of that (which is probably a good thing).
Bunny Rita's Special Valentine
Rita also received not one, but TWO special Valentine's from her long distance boyfriend, Rocket. First of all, he sent her a Valentine's care package that included a Monkeydog helmet, a stuffed pink monkey, and some chocolates for Rita's mama. (Which Rita's mama did not share with Rita's daddy...)
If you missed it I explained about MonkeyButts (aka Monkeydogs)
here, but basically they are quadpawds who stir up friendly trouble on Tripawds.com to keep the smiles coming on a site that can sometimes be filled with sad news. The Monkeybutts' leader, Rocket (a.k.a. the "MonkeyButt-Bunny Vampire Pirate") has a little crush on MBBunny Rita, so he sent her a helmet. She is ready for battle with those silly Tripawds!
The other special Valentine he sent her was this
special video viewable here, which cracks me up every time I watch it. My Rita es muy bonita! Y Rocket es muy macho!
Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day, whether your Valentine is two-, three-, or four-legged (or web-footed or talon-ed or whatever. I don't judge.)!
