Easter Apologies

We know this is a bit late, but we want to apologize now for the Easter disaster.  We've been trying to keep our ears down so as to not be declared guilty by relation or we would have apologized sooner.  For anyone who somehow missed the news, our poor leader, the Easter Bunny, was hopping down the Bunny Trail to deliver baskets when he was caught in a snare.  He suffered a sprained paw, banged ears, and of course was robbed of all of his baskets.  The rope used to construct this snare had a tag on it labeling it the property of Betsy Bear, as if you couldn't guess who was behind it.  We have never been so embarrassed in our lives and thus have been trying to keep a low profile.  Hopefully things have blown over a bit, by now, though, so we can get back to posting.  We have a class to teach tomorrow, so beware of kitty shrieking, especially as it looks like a large class.  Oh, and on a happy note, we are now up to 990 siblings!

Report

Sorry we haven't posted in a few days.  Just wanted to give you a report of current happenings.  First, Easter went well for a change.  Betsy was unable to escape from the grandhuman's room, so our leader was able to actually deliver his baskets to those they were intended for for a change.  We hope that the shock of actually getting their basket this year wasn't too much for anyone.  Leader was also very impressed with our continuing efforts to find work, which is continuing well.  We dropped in yesterday and talked to the lady in charge of the program again, and got a look at the potential pattern we might be teaching.  It's very nice, and we're really looking forward to teaching it if we're hired for it.  We hope if we are that we will have a chance to assist the students in selecting their fabric as well, instead of their just bringing it in already picked for the class.  That would be so much fun to help with that and show people how to make different colors and textures work together.  Also, we hopped by a nursery yesterday and bought a couple of lovely herbs that we needed, if you were wondering about the kitty shrieking.  And then we visited the homeless shelter and took in a needly panda, bringing our sibling total to 909.  We're thinking of going by the fabric store again tomorrow, so please cover your ears accordingly.  And we might go by the teddy adoption center too, so much kitty shrieking is anticipated.  Brace yourselves.

Tomorrow

Is everyone ready to be visited by our leader tomorrow?  We're actually hopeful that Betsy won't be able to snatch his baskets this year.  The Grandhuman took her to her room and is letting that bear lounge on her bed, so we think it might be more difficult for her to sneak out, at least without giving up on her fooling the Grandhuman into her continued belief that Betsy is a good bear.  We so hope that means she won't be able to harass our leader this year.  We have so much we are eager to share with him and he isn't going to be in the best mood if he must be rescued from one of Betsy's traps again.  We are thinking of possible classes we could teach if we had that cutting machine, and quilt kits we could assemble for those classes.  Really, there's so much that we could do with one of those machines.  We have to get it!

Weekend Warning

We would like to suggest you keep your ear protection on at all times this weekend.  We suspect it is going to be a noisy one.  Our leader, the Easter Bunny, will be hopping by on his rounds this Sunday and he is sure to be impressed with all of the stitching work we have done and our plans to seek employment teaching stitching.  And you know how Brother takes our leader being happy with us.  Please protect your ears.  The screams are sure to be massive.

Leader's Visit

Our Leader was not happy not to find a cat here, after how proud he had been of us for finally recapturing him last year.  It was so embarrassing, and we feel like that's what Brother wanted with how he's been hiding, to humiliate us in front of the head bunny.  He's given us another chance, though, if we can get that cat back before the anniversary of his escape.  Surely we can recapture him in two months time!

Tommorrow Leader Visits

Our leader will be here bright and early in the morning.  Thank goodness we didn't have to cope with a power failure due to the storms last night.  Bad enough that we are going to have to explain that fugitive cat without having to explain why the house wasn't ready for leader's arrival.  We just hope he isn't too ticked we let the cat escape again.  He was so proud that we had recaptured him last year.

Three Days

Three days until our leader comes hopping by and still no sign of that pesky Brother.  we are going to be so embarrassed to have him find out that Brother deserted us again.  Do you think if we show him the gift certificate we just earned to adopt more teddy siblings it will convince him we are still good bunnies?

Leader is Coming

Our leader, the Easter Bunny, will be hopping around next weekend, we just realized, and what will he have to say when he learns that cat has escaped once more?  We are going to be in so much trouble when he finds out that we have a fugitive kitty once again, and we fear he might revoke our baskets full of seed.  Maybe we need to head out on a Brother hunt tomorrow, to try to save ourselves from this?

Our Leader!

We had a lovely time visiting with our leader today, and then five of us hopped out for dinner with the humans.  Brother is probably doomed to the naughty list, though, for his actions.  He attacked the ribbon on the basket our leader delivered to the human, and tried to snatch her eggs as well.  He's heading for coal for sure.

Leader is on his Way

We're so excited, we don't know how we will sleep tonight!  Our leader is on his yearly hopping trip, loaded down with goodie baskets!  And we think we have gotten Brother a bit concerned too, with our tail of bunnies now handling the naughty and nice list.  We told him he will get his preliminary goodness rating TOMORROW when our leader hops in!  And that once a rating is assigned, it will take a ton of goodness to change it.  So now he thinks he just has hours to figure out how to impress a rabbit and avoid the naughty list!  Such fun!

Outsourcing

We told Brother today that we believe Santa has outsourced his naughty and nice list to the Easter bunny as there are more bunnies around than elves.  Which means if so that Brother's goodness rating and Christmas presents will be decided upon by RABBITS!  Let's see if that gets him to be a bit nicer!

Our Leader

We don't think Brother has thought to check the calendar yet, so do you think we ought to let him know that our leader will be hopping by this weekend?  We're sure he will be so pleased to find that we have finally recaptured Brother.  Maybe he will even give us extra seed for finally dragging him back where he belongs!

Air and Heat

Oh, this is an outrage!  We ought to report this to the head bunny right away!  We're sure he would be happy to egg the dwellings of these horrible, horrible people for this!  The insurance company is refusing to pay to fix our air and heat, and now it is starting to get a bit NIPPY!  Needless to say, our polar bear sisters are panicking, and we are sure the cat will try to use this as an excuse not to move back in.  The insurance people should be ashamed, and we hope they recall the fact that the head bunny knows where they live, and he has influence with Santa too!  For this, we are sure they will go right on the naughty list!

Leader's Visit

At least our leader was understanding when he hopped around today. We were so sure he would be upset with us, over our total failure to capture that cat, but he didn't punish us, and allowed us a sack of seed. He said he would be back soon, though, and he expects to see a cat here when he returns. So Brother's recapture must be sped up accordingly. We don't know what our leader will do if that cat evades us much longer.

Head Bunny

Just a few more hours until the head bunny comes hopping around. We don't know how we're going to explain to him that brother isn't here yet. Despite our efforts, that cat has totally eluded us, and avoided recapture for over two months. It's so embarrassing. We were sure we would have him back before the Head Bunny hopped around and he's still on the loose. He probably pulled this little trick, and is hiding, just to make us look bad to our leader. When the Head Bunny finds out that we have failed at something that should be simple like capturing brother, he will be so disappointed. And what if he takes back our gifts of SEED?

Head Bunny's Coming

The head bunny will be hopping by in a little over a week and our pesky brother still isn't back! How annoying! If he doesn't get his pointy ears back here soon, we're going to have to explain to our leader how he escaped, which will be more than a bit embarrassing. Really, it's been two months, and we haven't been able to recapture him. We'll be totally humiliated if our leader ever learns that cat has dodged us for so long. He's probably laughing about it now, and the trouble he is going to cause us.

We Have Decided

We have decided that we must arrange the capture of our brother right away and since he is currently an unborn kitten, it means that all of the mother kitties must be captured as well. Our poor human is still so sad so we really have to get that brother of ours back right away. Luckily, we have the perfect plan. We told Betsy the Bunny Trail was rerouted through the Burger King parking lot, and that our leader is doing practice hops, with loaded baskets included, all this week. She's getting out all of her traps and snares right now to cover the area. Soon those kitties will be in custody, and then once we have our brother back, the Easter Bunny has promised to find the other kitties wonderful homes. We just hope Betsy hurries to set the traps soon, and doesn't get distracted by pies and fries at Burger King.

Bad News

It's the bunnies. We wanted to let you know that our brother passed away this morning. The human is in hysterics. We have issued an alert to the Easter Bunny, and he has contacted Santa, who will email us as soon as our brother pops up on his list in his second life. But until then, we will handle the blog, although updates might be a bit scarce since our human is so freaked.

Movie

The bunnies used what I thought was shredded cheese to lure me into the bunny movie this morning. It looked exactly like cheese, but when I got close enough, would you believe that it was carrot slivers? But by the time I realized, it was too late, and the bunnies had me. Really, I have never seen such a frightening movie as their leader's film. I don't know why in the world it isn't rated R or possibly X. Did you know that the rabbits have an entire island that serves as bunny headquarters? It's a frightening place called Easter Island. Oh, I would never want to go there, and I hope none of my readers are ever forced to visit this place either. All of the rabbits, hopping everywhere, and the entire island is probably packed with nothing but vegetables. Who in the world let the bunnies take over an entire island to serve as their kingdom?

Bunny Rewards

As if it isn't bad enough that the bunnies have been promised large amounts of seed, now the human has arranged to host a bunny movie celebration for them. They've got their leader's film, several other frightening bunny flicks, and popcorn all ready for the viewing marathon. And my leash. They have my leash all ready to go, and have already issued my seat assignment, in the second row, between two rabbits, with more bunnies than I want to think of sitting behind me, probably spilling carrot juice upon my ears! Do you know how hard it is to get carrot juice out of fur?
