The Zen Of The Happy Bunny
Dec. 14th, 2009 10:58 amIt’s Monday, dudes! I do, in fact, hate Mondays—I have to get up at a reasonable hour and work at both my jobs. So I offer you a few minutes of zen on this particular Monday, in the form of happy bunnies!
When bunnies are happy, they may have an almost literal spastic moment—launching into the air and maybe twisting and running around in circles. I refer to it as the Happy Bunny Dance, but it’s formally known as a “binky.”* It’s the cutest dang thing in the world.
Truth be told, after having owned a mini lop, I’ve got to say that the normal kind of bunny ears look very strange to me. The default rabbit, in my head, has droopy long ears that may hit the floor, leaving plenty of room on top for a bunny fauxhawk. Plus, mini lops are the greatest kind of rabbit because they are laid-back, amiable, and inquisitive, and also they are fluffy. And when they lope along their ears kind of flop with every step.
And if anything can get me smiling on a Monday, it’s the thought of rabbits. Embrace the zen of the happy bunny. You won’t regret it.
*Look, it’s hard to be formal about a move like that. It’s actually just hard to be formal about an animal that routinely has to eat its food twice because it didn’t digest it enough the first time.
