Tofu Tuesday: Sea Slug

Um…have you guys seen the ridonkulously cute sea slugs that people are calling “sea bunnies”? I saw this post over on BoredPanda.com and since Tofu sometimes resembles a slug (due to his posture), I thought it would be a fun to compare the Jorunna Parva (the official name of these sea bunnies) with our own land bunny. I honestly think Tofu does a better impression of a slug and the slug does a great impression of a bunny. They even have the same coloured ears! What do you think?

Tofu Tuesday: Pet pack

A lot of rabbits live outside in a hutch, even in winter. They survive. However, I have no doubt that if they had the choice, they would prefer to live inside and snuggle up with a warm pet pack (or other bunnies). This is the first winter we have tried a warming pad for Tofu. It’s just a bag of orange gel that I microwave for a few minutes until it is warm, then it goes into a fleecy pouch with a couple of sheets of reflective stuff to keep the warmth in. As Tofu is gets older (almost 8 years) he seems to feel the cold more. Some mornings this winter, he would rather stay indoors than to roam free in the backyard. I sometimes find Tofu with his fluffy bum pressed against his warm pet pack. He grooms the pet pack like it might be his friend. Tofu has also been coming into our room at night. He hops around my side of the bed until I wake up and scoop him up and he …

Tofu Tuesday: Winter sun

I caught Tofu the bunny sitting in the coldest, wettest part of our garden. You know, the area that gets no sun in the winter. …So I scooped him up and put him the sunniest, driest part of our garden. He promptly aimed his butt at the sun and stretched out. I think he liked it. Click here to see more editions of Tofu Tuesday.

Tofu Tuesday: Rank Ass Leaf

I think every pet owner has caught their pet eating something gross. As adorable and as well fed as they are, pets just can’t help but eat weird shit they find. If you know anything about rabbits, then you might know that rabbits eat poop. Yes, literally. As sweet as bunny kisses are, you must remember. They eat poop. I once caught Tofu the bunny under our lemon tree eating a rotten lemon. The lemon old, squishy and covered in ants. Tofu had this look of pure bliss on his face and pure disappointment when I took the lemon from him. Other things we catch Tofu eating are the rank ass leaves in the back yard. The ranker, the better. I walk to the markets twice a week to select the brightest, greenest greens for Tofu the bunny. Then he goes into our backyard and selects the oldest, yuckiest brown leaves for himself. Makes sense. Here he is munching on one such leaf. I let him finish the leaf rather than taking it from him. It’s …

Tofu Tuesday: Winter palm sunset

Winter is coming. Tofu didn’t want to go outside yesterday morning. Typical Monday.  I scooped him up and placed him by the back door to check out the backyard. He said a big, “NOPE!” and hopped back to his room. But the weather turned out to be glorious so I popped off home at lunch and let him outdoors. By then the world was warm (hot even) and he was keen. I also took the opportunity to hang up a load of washing and throw another load in. You gotta use every ounce of sunshine you can get. By the time I get home from work at 5.15pm each day, the sun has already dropped below the horizon. Not ideal for photography but Tofu the bunny assured me it could work if I lifted him up towards the dying light.  He was right. Of course. I like how the palm trees in the background suggest we are somewhere much warmer. Click here to see more editions of Tofu Tuesday.

Tofu Tuesday: Moustache Mug

Unlike some whimsical twee hipsters, Tofu the bunny was born with his hipster mo. A little while ago, when I heard that Moustache Milk & Cookie but might be facing closure, I was quick to put my money where my heart/mouth/stomach is and pledge to fund their latest venture. Deanna, the owner of Moustache Milk & Cookie Bar has her very own WordPress blog which you can check out over here. Her blog is incredibly sincere and her story is nothing short of amazing. Not only did I get to save a business I love dearly, but I also got a pledge reward of a moustache mug. I hate to say that I love inanimate objects, but I love this mug. It is ceramic with moustaches printed on both sides and a silicone top. Great for guzzling coffee at my desk. Also looks good with similarly-hued moustachioed rabbits.
