My name is Henry and I am a rabbit-aholic

[Spudlet]

The human says that admitting you have a problem is the first step towards rehabilitation, so she insists I post here.

But I've got her fooled, because I don't think it's a problem at all!

I love rabbits, they are so much fun! I love chasing after them and sniffing in their burrows, its' great

If you find dead ones that's even better because you can roll in them and smell lke a rotten rabbit all day, plus you can rn away with them and wave them at the humans who for some reason don't seem to like this very much.

The human thinks it's a problem because I won't listen to her blowing the sily little whistle thingy that means that she has decided she has too many biscuits to carry and that I need to come back and lighten the load by eating one. But it's her own fault, she ought to make more of an effort to look like a bunny then I would be more interested. Better still she should change her perfume to 'Eau du Lapin Morte' (see what a cultured spangle I am) which would definitely get her a boyfriend, it is always what I look for in a lady!

The human thinks that I should ask if there are any other rabbit-aholics out there so we can start an HHO Rabbit-aholics Anonymous group. I propose that we have our first meeting on the common near to my house. You'll be able to recognise me because I'll the the spaniel with my bum sticking out of a rabbit hole. You'll be able to recongise the human because she'll be going puce blowing her little whistle and saying rude words about spaniels and rabbits.

Any takers?

if you could add sheep or anything else that moves to the list I am sure Beau would be more than willing to help you with your group!

 

[Spudlet]

ooo don't know about sheep... the human gets very firm if I even LOOK at sheep....

But all other small furries are perfectly acceptable - squirrels, cats, birds...

Rabbits are my favourite though!

 

[fmay]

My name is Maggie the border terrier and I would love to join your club.
I particularly like baby bunnies and spend hours digging up my human's lawn to get closer to them.
Older bunnies are no fun because they can run faster than me

 

[Spudlet]

Hello Maggie welcome to RA!

Now you see I don't like actually catching the rabbits it's all about the chase with me... although I did catch one that was poorly with mixy the other day and the human killed it then made me leave it behind!

I was going to have it as a teddy-bear / light snack.

 

[catembi]

Kane the rescue Rottie loves chasing rabbits up the field... but he hasn't really grasped the basic principles of the exercise cos he does it with his football in his mouth...

 

[Spudlet]

Kane is also welcome at RA. We'll soon teach him how it's done (but don't tell my human though)

 

[kirstyhen]

My name is Otto and it has been 18 days and 4 hours since I caught my last bunny...

I like chickens too, but for some reason I get a very smacked bottom when I catch those

Yet it's alright for the talls ones to have Chicken for dinner

Why can't they see, I'm only trying to help

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hi Sweep here -

sorry not my usual perky self tonight - went to the dog doctors today and feel all strange....anyway back to the subject in hand - I like bunnies but only as teddies to cuddle I don't chase them but I do adore sticks - can I join anyway??!!

 

[Spudlet]

Hello Otto and Sweep - welcome to RA! I hope you feel better soon Sweep

Otto, humans are very confused about chasing things, half the time I don't think they know what they want themselves so I think it is best to ignore them

Although my human is really very firm about sheep she does her scary growly voice and everything

I have not met any chickens yet so I don't know what she thinks about them but she seems to like eating chicken so I assume they are fair game

Mwahaha

 

[kirstyhen]

I got very told off for just watching the sheep once, they definately seem to be a no no, and I'm pretty sure chasing things full stops is off limits, however it's just so much fun! :

 

[Spudlet]

Humans do seem to have very strong views on the sheep thing...

 

[Digger123]

My mum thinks I should join your group cos everytime I see big ears I get the urge. The first time I saw them I got all overcome with excitement and then mumsy got excited to !
But that could of been down to the fact when I went chasing after them mums lead was still attached to her and then the silly woman fell over. She wasn't to happy about all the mud and sh@t down her jeans........

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I live with fields full of sheep - the ones here are really scary!! They chase us dogs!!! including my friend the sheepdog (when he is coming walkies with me!!) BUT the chickens and duck and cats and really fun to chase - the ducks and the chooks flap and squark and you just make the cats run up walls - Brilliant fun!!!

I find the answer is to sometimes ignore them and sometimws chase them - but never catch them!! My food donor says its called lulling her into a false sense of security - whatever that means......Anyway back to my nap.

Sweep x

 

[Spudlet]

Welcome to RA Digger123

Honestly humans are so dim sometimes, mine falls over when it's even a little bit slippery and then she blames me

 

[Spudlet]

I made a cat jump onto the barn roof once, I was very proud... the human was a bit miffed though because her boss was watching at the time...

 

[Oneofthepack]

My name is Lizzie and I am a rabbitaholic. I chased a rabbit yesterday and the day before that and the day before that..........I also have a friend who is a rabbitaholic but she is in denial. She says she can go without but I've seen her sneaking a chew on an old one when she thinks I'm not watching, like this....

Can we join?

 

[Spudlet]

Hello Lizzie, welcome to RA! Your friend is welcome too, we can soon help her to overcome her denial...

Sucking on a dead rabbit can be satisfying but chasing live ones is much more fun... I caught two more this morning, but the human says it doesn't count because they were so poorly they couldn't run away

This is making me and the human very sad

 

[Oneofthepack]

Yes we say the poorly ones don't count too! And baby rabbits are 'shorts'

They're great because we can swallow them whole before mum catches up

 

[CorvusCorax]

HELLO! *bounces into dogs room, sending everything and everyone flying*

It's Bodo here, you know, the biggest, cleverest, handsomest, most important dog ever (that's what Small Mum says and she is always right).

I am addicted to rabbits and cats and pheasants, I have broken three of Small Mum's silly lunge line things in my pursuit of all things small, hairy and fast moving and yesterday I saw a bear or a hare or something.
It was like a HUGE rabbit.
Small Mum made me walk to heel (BOR-ING) while she shouted and waved her arms at it and called out to it, ('run away you stupid ballix' or something like that) but it just kept hopping along in front of us.
It eventually went into the bushes at the side of the track but I got dragged away from it. HOW am I supposed to become a tracking dog and do all my exams if she keeps stopping me from following lovely smelly things?!

I am not even allowed to LOOK at sheep, Small Mum says if I go anywhere near them Farmer Rog will shoot me in the bum until I am dead

 

[Spudlet]

Welcome Bodo! We are getting a proper group here soon no small furry creature will be safe!

My human also insists on heel walking near to rabbits (when on the lead - off the lead she can forget it). Aren't humans boring sometimes?

My human says if I go near the sheep SHE will shoot me

 

[CorvusCorax]

Cool! I'll be the big grey hairy handsome one with my arse sticking out of a hole.
Like this - gals, check out this rear end!

 

[GinaB]

My name is Beastie and I tried to catch a bunny but my mummy said I was a naughty girl and I have to leave 'her Adrian' alone. Humpfh. He teases me running around his run and then rubbing my nose with his! Some day....

 

[Spudlet]

What? Your mum keeps rabbits and they aren't there as your persnal chasing toys?

Hmph these humans are just so weird

My human says Adrian is a great name for a bunny, but I have told her to keep off this thread as she might disturb the 'rehab' tehe

 

[GinaB]

Yes, isn't she mean? And she says she is going to get another one! I tried to move onto Leroy hamster instead but apparently he is a no go either.

Although he's old and threadbare...don't think there would be much munching to be done!

The labradors are very good, apprently they have successfully finished rabbit rehab and are bunny proof!

 

[buffy2]

My name is peanut,well my mum calls me other things,can i join the rabbit_aholic please

 

[Spudlet]

Hello Peanut!

My humans' language is terrible when I am chasing rabbits, I blush to hear it

In fact it is so bad I can't bear to be seen with her and have to spend more time chasing rabbits instead

 

[Michelle73]

Hi, my name is Jack, I'm still on Cows and Horses, not got so small as Rabbits yet unless this one counts?

Do you think I could be on the turn?

 

[KarynK]

Gday m’names Digga (I’m the handsome one!) and I may be a rabbit-aholic. Well I can’t find any bl**dy roos here and a fellas got to have a hobby.

Me last fix was Monday morning, saw me chance of a bit of bush tucker hopping across the field. Me Sheila and Bluey were busy pickin up horse sh1t (and annoying the horses respectively), so I went walkabout and chased me tucker, bl**dy Baa *tard ran under a big bita wood. Started digging for me real home (Ray Mears Pah Amateur!). Was half way home when I decided to try and stun him doin me loudest highest pitch yabber. The Shiela soon got fed up of that and came to see what the din was, nearly did her back in lifting the wood saw me chance when that Baa *tard Bluey took the tucker right from under me muddy nose!

He ate every good bit of me tucker and left me a few fluffy bits, some mate he is, had it out with him but he didn’t give a XXXX

Nah Henry mate you limies are so tame, 'Eau du Lapin Morte' will never do ya have ta mix it with horse poo no Shilea’s ever gonna turn you down wearin all that stuff! Can’t think why mine throws all that stuff away, what ya don’t roll in you can eat!

 

[Goya]

can we join too please?
I am Jess and I just suddenly take off sometimes when we are out for a walk. I can smell those bunnies from miles away!!!

The silly things usually disappear into a hole thing and I love to stick my nose (and as much of my body as I can fit) down those holes. Funny you know, but I can't hear Mum calling me at all.

Now This is Beau.
I am much more sensible and I don't go tearing off. you see I am a Lab and I am much more sensible. However I do sometimes get one of those furry things in my gentle mouth and I always take it back to Mum. Funny you know, she goes all squirmy and tells me to drop it. Mum wants to put a smug icon in but she can't find one. Smug is how she describes me 'cos I am sooooooo good. I never do anything naughty.
