Peanut meets a friend...

This is actually from a few days ago during a little photoshoot we had. I bought my boyfriend these really cool posable models you use when you are trying to draw a figure. He was laying on the table so I thought I would see if Peanut made a good horse.

The good thing about Peanut is that he tolerates me when I put things on his head. We have all seen, or I assume most of us have seen that photo that floated around a while back .....

I believe his name is Oolong and he's famous. I want Peanut to be famous.....I will have to work on that..

While Peanut allowed the model to ride his head, my camera skills were poor and unable to capture the event... so this will have to do. Tomorrow I will see what we can find for his noggin... or discover a new bunny talent!!!

MWUAHAAHAAHAHAA - evil laugh.. no? ok.

Stake your claim!!!!


Peanut has decided that he would like to try a view of the world from a little higher... he has staked his claim on this vintage sewing stool. Usually I freak out when I can't find him in his usual resting spots but now I know to look a little higher.



BUNNY LIPS!!!
(warning: the lips you see here are for giggles only.)

snuggle bunny..




Peanut was in rare form this evening..

poor guy spent a majority of the day alone as we enjoyed the day outside. After feeling guilty that I neglected him of his daily dose of attention, I went in, scooped him up, and brought him downstairs as we finished the Gustav Klimt movie with John Malkovich - don't waste your time BTW.

Surprisingly, Peanut got cozy and snuggled up on my chest and slept there for a good 3o minutes or so. SO cozy that he was pushing ALL of his body weight against my face so that I could not turn to watch the movie...which was OK by me - I don't think I missed much.

I imagine this won't happen again any time soon so I had to document it.

Sleepy Peanut....

Peanut is back on his medication for pain.. his poor little teeth!

He has been shedding ridiculous amounts of hair, in clumps, and I can't tell if he looks skinnier because of less hair or less eating.

Either way, something makes him sleepy...and utterly adorable!!!

Defective office chair.. or not...

Today was a beautiful day and I decided to spend a large portion of my day in my fabulous art room and home of Peanut. This excited him to no end and as soon as I sat down, he was right there by my feet, happy as a pig in poop.

He seems very neutral most of the time and this may make you question his happiness. I have learned that bunnies purr, much like cats, by very rapidly chattering their teeth. He tends to do this when you kiss him..and pet him, and pretty much any time he is getting attention. I know this is a good thing because when you stop, he chases you for more.

Another way I know that Peanut is a happy camper is when he does the flip..you know how cats do that adorable thing where they put their head down like they are a bit "special" and proceed to flip their whole body awkwardly over their heads? yes, well... Peanut does this as well. He will lay on his back with his crazy little paws slightly lifted in the air...sometimes I have to poke him JUST to make sure he's still with us... he's THAT relaxed.

Today Peanut did all of these things.. He chattered, flipped, ran around, nudged my ankles over and over and over again..which brings me to today's post's main story.

In the room there is a wonderful office chair. A chair that has 3 levers that control the back rest, height, and position of the seat. I finally set the chair just the way I like it to endure hours of sitting and making things or web surfing.

I was sitting in this said chair today, leaning forward a bit, fully concentrating on my penmanship as I addressed a letter, when all of a sudden.. the seat of the chair was triggered by this level, thrusting me forward and almost flinging me from the chair.

I look down and what do I see but a furry little creature on his hind legs pushing on these levers. I kid you not... his nudges are hard core.


Allow me to attempt to illustrate this hilarious event...

yes.. he's a stinker.

Stinky face!!!






Just to make you ohhh and awww...

a bunny with hyperactivity disorder..

Peanut has had a pretty lazy day today, sunning himself in this wonderful weather we are having today...

He is probably tired from his hyperactivity last night, and for all we know, it may have continued while we were fast asleep.

Last night we invaded his room for an art evening and he was very excited that we were going to be visiting him. He enjoys sitting at our feet and nudging our ankles for attention. After attacking his litter box a few times, I proceeded to walk over and clean it. As soon as I was finished, here comes Mr. Hyper from across the room to jump in a rearrange it again, undoing the cleaning I just finished. We played this game back and forth about 3 or 4 times..Thanks....

He had to have the last say by attacking the hose to the vacuum for a good 3 minutes or so after the fact. He showed it who's boss around here.

Peanut is fortunate to have many little nooks to explore daily. They seem to never get old. He's got carpeted areas to lay on, hard wood floor to cool his belly off, lilly pad rugs to hop around on, a metal shelf that he just loves to perch on. I guess this was not enough for him.

I have an old sewing storage stool that I keep under one of our work tables. Because of lack of space I keep a large rubbermaid tub on top of it full of rubber stamps. I needed to go through them, so I pulled them off, went through them, and as I was getting ready to throw them back on the stool.... I saw a furry creature making himself comfortable on top. He's lucky he didn't get knocked in the head!

BUSTED!!!!!


Let's see what this evening brings for this nut...

Why you should follow us!

Peanut is unusual, quirky, and has a larger than life personality.

This blog will take a look at his daily activities and adventures as they are captured.


Warning: your heart may just burst with the copious amounts of cuteness you are about to see here and in the future.......


Meet Peanut.....

This is Peanut and you are entering his world.

Proceed with caution.....



Peanut is estimated to be about 6-7 years old.. give or take some time. He was discovered by accident on a networking site through a post of a friend. After inquiring about some information, his human saw this silly looking little guy and fell in love. The rest is history..

Peanut quickly adapted to his new home. His owners brought him over one afternoon and opened the carrier as we all were biting our nails and out hopped this big, furry, floppy eared monster....much bigger than we imagined. He looked around for a moment and then almost instantly sprawled out as if he owned the place...


Peanut has recently returned home after living in sunny South Carolina for 15 months as his human went to school.

His favorite activities in the Carolinas were: Laying on warm fresh rugs right out of the dryer and enjoying the fresh air on the back porch.



He has returned home and is on a great adventure to discover all of the things he left behind not so long ago.....
