Denise-- Aw, you're very welcome! Glad you liked the little bunny sketch too. Hope you enjoy the book, and thanks again for checking it out-- I appreciate it!

Thanks Donna! Hee hee-- normally Hazelenjoys his carrots too; I think he was just overwhelmed by the banana! Although he does prefer baby carrots to regular carrots ^_^

Aw, thank you Janet-- you guys are so sweet! I am getting some more pics ready now XD As a side note, I actually grew up in De Pere, Wisconsin, near Green Bay. My Mom used to take me for out for ice cream in Manitowoc inthe 90s.I believethe shopwas called Bernstein's? They sold candy and ice cream. Is it still there?

Claire-- Thanks! The camera actually shakes a lot because I was laughing so hard whenI filmed it! XD (P.S.I love Madison! I grew up in WI.)

& thanks Misty!

--------> Coming up next: more Hazel pics!

Another pic post of Hazel

My studio gets very chilly in the winter, so I run a little space heater for Hazel and I. He *loves* it.Here is he is warming himself under my chair.I like to call this pic 'His Master's Voice', because I was in the chair writing at thetime (Ihad to hold my camera upside down to get thephoto). Lookit that white tummy!! (11/3/09)

Noir-Hazel, looking moody and dramatic in his Timber Hide-a-way! (10/29/09)

Innocent and flat-headed! (11/17/09)

And now-- some baby pics of Hazel! From when he first came home with me in 2004:

June 16th, 2004. Three months old with shedded 'angry' eyebrows!

My first rabbit! I didn't even know what breed he was-- his tag said 'dwarf rabbit'.

I think the first time I saw him wash his face, I about passed out from the cuteness. I had no idea rabbitswashed their faces with their hands! XD (Still never gets old, btw.)

And Hazel now Babies may be cute, but they don't have these amazing jowls! Love! (10/29/09)

They r all so cute!! but I love tummy pics, that 1st one cracked me up

Yes!!!! Beernsten's is still on North 8th Street. Still has the same benches/booths and mirrors it was originally built with way back when my mom was small. The store in Manitowoc has new owners, but I think they try to maintain the integrity and quality of the first owners. Mmmmmm.... Christmas chocolates and Easter candies!!!! (You should see the huge chocolate Easter Bunnies they make by order!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! ) The store is timeless...

If you still lived in DePere, you would only be about forty minutes away from me. We could have gone to Beernsten's once a month to talk 'bunny-talk'.

I am so dying from the cuteness overload with the new pics!!! I so love his baby pics... his rexy attitude started showing when he was a baby!! Hazel's moody pics are my favorites. He has that 'look' that makes one want to please him just to stay on his good-side.

These pictures really do seal the deal.... I am officially in love with Hazel! He is now on my bunny-nabbing list! I said it first! He is mine and everyone else who want him get second dibs. Sorry Rosemary, but you will have to keep your doors locked at all hours of the day and night to keep your little man safe and in your possession... :coolness:

Aw! I adore Hazel! He's beautiful!

[SweetSassy]

Hazel is just gorgeous!! I enjoy his pictures :inlove:

 

[Myia09]

Hazel is so cute! What a perfect rabbit. When I think the general term "Rabbit" I always think of Mini Rex's.

 

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

Thank you so much, everyone!! It's great for me to have a place to show off pics of Hazel so my non-bunny pals don't have to pretend to be interested, ha ha.Hazel is going to get a big head from all the compliments!

Denise-- Usually Hazel is shy with his tummy, but break out that space heater and it's the tummy show! ;D

Aw, that's great to hear that Beernsten's is still around and basically unchanged! It was a beautiful place-- always fun to go there when I was a kid simply because it was so quaint, cute and retro. I remember all the fun chocolates! My mom and I used to go into Manitowoc a couple times a month so she could hit up the used bookshop (Gary Kott's, when it was still there), and there was an indie record store I used to shop at when I got older. At least we can still have bunny chats on here!

Hazel's did have that rexy attitude from day one. In fact, when I first looked at him someone suggested I get Hazel's sister who was 'friendlier', but I said 'No, I want that one,' and pointed at a pouty Hazel sitting in a puff. He has been the absolute perfect fit for me, and is amazingly loving.

Ha ha-- I'll keep the little prince locked in his ivory tower tonight! ;D

& Myia-- Me too! That's part of the reason I ended up with Hazel, because I was smitten with his stereotypical 'rabbit' look

--------------------------------> And coming up next: a few more pics for tonight

 

[RosemaryVanDeuren]

A couple of pics taken just hours ago:

"Turn on the space heater, lady! It's cold in here!!"

"I said turn it on!"

And one more baby pic of Hazel - with me -so you can all see how itty-bitty he was! 6/12/2004

*Love!*
