A week with Ruby - June 2008

Wednesday
Well,
today I was delivered to a Miss Ruby, her lovely neighbours
took me in until she got home. My envelope was lovely and snugly
to travel in, though of course I prefer Private Jet with carrot
juice on tap! My nice red woolly jumper also arrived today and
I am looking forward to wearing it to my adventure on Friday.
|
“Adventure?” I
hear you say, why yes, cos I am meeting a very special pony
called Mandy who has said that she will give me a little
ride and even share her carrots with me! I am positively
exhausted now by my journey, so I am going to say goodnight
to my new-found fluffy friends and go to bed in my little
red box!

Thursday
Today I had a leisurely breakfast and a sniff
around the garden spinach (organic of course!) sadly no carrots
but then had a lovely nap and then Miss Ruby came home from school!
Then we ate carrots and she carried me around constantly, and
I quote “So what
if he’s just a teeny bit older than all the other little
toy travelling rabs out here, I love him!”
|
Hrrumph!
The cheek of it I say, these 2-foots kissing and hugging me!
Oh, who can complain really! Well off to bed I now go, though
it’s a bit cold so I may have to hop up onto the bed and
make myself a next! Hmmm. I wonder if she has any nice hay around
here…..

Friday
Today I went to school with Miss Ruby, and what
a day it was! I played and bounced about in the little organic
garden they have, and guess what I found?
|
WILLOW ! |
|
|
Ruby
pruned some off for me and made me a little hat!
After having a delicious and filling time, we hopped off to a place called a ‘stables’ and
I was told to be on my best behaviour. The cheek of it! |
I was then introduced to a lovely pony called Mandy, who very kindly let me ride
her! That is one more mode of transport ticked off of my extensive list then,
but sadly the furry pony ate all of the carrots before I even got a look in!
All in all, a very fun day, though Miss Ruby does have some very strange friends.

Saturday
Today, Miss Ruby took me to work with her
on a farm in the city! Could you believe such a thing existed?
|
We said
hello to some lovely strange people and also to some other
buns like myself (but just a tad bigger!). They weren’t
very good as sharing their treats either, but they were still
quite happy to nose-wiggle back!
|
|
|
And I liked to so much at Freightliners
Farm, that I decided to grab some wellies and join in. |
I also snuck my way into their hay barn and went a bit crazy
with all that deliciousness!
|
|
|
Then we went to a festival-sort-of-thing.
There was so much to do! We said hello (well my caretakers did)
to some very nice doggies. I also very much enjoyed the little
drink I had with Miss R and her Mum, Then, to bed and lots of
snuggles and lettuce-filled dreams! |
Sunday
Being
in London, we went to a big hall belonging to a Mr Royal Albert.
What a funny name! I got a picture taken with Miss Ruby and
I outside a big golden statue of Mr Royal Albert and I got
some lettuce for my lunch.
|
|
|
Then
we crossed the road, to go and see a show called ‘The
King and I’ |
Sadly,
there were absolutely no bunnies in it, so only 4 carrots
out of 5 from me, not that I’m sharing my carrots
mind you!!!
|
|
|
Also,
on our way there and back, we went on a double-decker Big Red
London Bus and an Underground Train, otherwise known as the
Tube. Unfortunately they don’t provide
nice willow tunnels and loo roll ‘tubes’ for their
wabbit travellers! |
Monday
As poor little Miss Ruby had exams at her school, I
couldn’t
come with her, but I have a lovely day resting and surfing
the net (visiting the Bobtails website too!) and dreaming of
willow and carrots and all manner of bunny matters
|
Tuesday
Again my young caretaker had a big test today, so
more chillaxing followed by a dinner of carrot with carrot garnish
and lettuce sauce, with carrot liquer and a willow swizzlestick!
(hehe I wish!)
Wednesday
Tonight is my last night staying with Ruby and we are
both going to miss each other an awful lot! She has told me that
even though I am a tad smelly (well I never!) after having travelled
for so long, it is just the sort of smell she likes, so I am
going to sleep all snuggled up with her tonight!
Thursday
Off I go, back to Karen and then on to my next victim – oh
I mean caretaker!! I have had a lovely time, and hope to return
soon before I retire!

Thank you Ruby for helping Sir Parsley with his Transport quest
and for finding so many other fun things for him to do. Bobtails
really appreciate your generous donation too! |
