Slight problem with the water bottle today.

My sister’s boyfriend warned me about it, but I thought it was working. It wasn’t, and I came home to a very thirsty rabbit.

Merlyn hung around for a bit chasing (and then eating) stray bits of hay that escaped Jude’s cage. He really, really likes it.

After much water guzzling, Jude decided it was time for her daily hop around the cage. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth between the cage and the bookcases. Rarely actually venturing out into the wider room.  Thrilling pet. Really. Continue reading »

Friends came over last night to pick us up on our way to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,(1) and we played with Jude for a bit, as much as we can, with the rabbit still hiding in the cage. Several times it looked like she might make the leap and hop about the room, but no such luck.
