The best of the Guestbook
I never thought I'd find a place where my bunny talk made sense to anyone else but me and my husband. We have several bunny visitors in our home. Carl, the elder bunny who like gin and tonics and Patsy from Abfab, then theres Frederick who came over from Amsterdam and loves sausage and his woman Francesca, who sleeps all day and night, but will get up for cake and wine. Our smaller bunnies, Johann and Josephine are from Bavaria. We need to watch Johann in traffic, hes nuts, and Josephine has a fetish with Zima. Her ears are wild like lightning bolts! These guys are cool. We always have a party in our home. Bunnies are god.
