They've barely had time to tuck away their Bunnicula costumes till next year and start fighting over their Yogurt drop and banana chip Halloween treats and already my bunnies are working on their Christmas wish list. Lilith thoughtfully bookmarked all her favorite bunny web sites for my shopping convenience while Mickey is tearing through the pet catalogs and magazines in search of the perfect rabbit gift.
The Busy Bunny ( www.busybunny.com) offers a tasty menu of edible toys for bunnies and fun stuff for the people who love them. For the bunnies in your life, you can find an assortment of gift baskets and triangle-shaped tent tunnels that are perfect for running through or hiding in. After Lilith left the room, though, I browsed through the human gifts and bookmarked "Grabbit" bunny slippers and the book section. Along with the rabbit-lover's "bible," the House Rabbit Society Handbook, and a Beatrix Potter collection, I found an adorable children's book by Tricia Tusa featuring drawings by children at the Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The profits from Bunnies in My Head all go to fund the cancer center. Bunnyluv ( www.bunnyluv.com) offers essentials for companion rabbits, including a classy Critter Castle and Tunnel of Luv (a cardboard version of Busy Bunny's tent tunnels) that claim to be sturdy enough to withstand the ravages of the most relentless destructo-bunny. Since Mickey and Lilith already have a room full of cardboard castles and tunnels, I had my eye on the palm-held rabbit combs. Both buns bristle over the humiliation of having to share one bunny brush - it's time they each had their own comb! An intriguing gift in the "humans" section was Lydia Hiby's Conversation with Animals featuring Hiby's unique "picture talking" method of talking to pets. There are times when I'd love to get inside my bunny's minds for a few minutes, but in general, I'm not sure knowing what they're thinking about would improve our relationship. My next stop was at Thumpers' Hollow ( duanedimock.com/thumpershollow), which has an interesting selection of rabbit-themed gifts - ceramic tiles, mouse pads, placemats, posters, rugs, pillows, t- and sweatshirts, and jewelry - featuring antique bunny drawings and paintings. You can also take a look at some adoptable bunnies, but you should probably wait until your rabbits leave the room. Lilith was so outraged to find me looking at other bunnies when I was supposed to be shopping for her that she scooted under the desk and tried to disconnect the computer.
