Tomorrow will be a new morning & we'll have the same ritual:
Richard Harrow will rattle his cage bars asking to be let out. 6:30 AM? 6:30 AM. He's a trustworthy alarm clock. He comes with snooze alarm too, but it's an alarm to be used with caution.
The 7 & a half pound alarm clock will take about an hour to get hyper, then he'll run in circles around my room. I sleep on a mattress on the floor & this he goes over too. But he always jumps directly on my face. I've been shocked awake with a bleeding lip or scratched eyelid on more than one occasion.
When I tell people this they laugh. "Oh, it's a cute fuzzy bunny! Awww~" But you, dear enthusiasts, understand exactly the problem. Those powerful back legs against two not so powerful eyeballs.
I need to find the discipline to wake up when my alarm clock first goes off. I am getting increasingly concerned about this.
After that it's feeding time-- oh boy!, time for my alarm clock to attempt to trip me. After pellets comes a single square of that orange treasure-- the coveted PAPAYA. Oh boy oh boy oh boy is it in his mouth yet?! This is his favorite time of day.
Then cuddles & tooth grinding. Getting some nose-kisses & base-of-ear kisses in. Stocking up on warm feelings in these chilly days of not-yet-spring. This is my favorite time of the day. Strokings & a chance to get some excess fur off him & watch it float harmlessly away like dust, knowing he won't ingest it. Knowing that this activity is making him physically as well as mentally healthier.
If the litterbox needs cleaning now's the time, as he watches from the mattress. It's not an unpleasant task. Put it all in a neat little newspaper sleeve & add some fresh stuff in, get a nice clean feeling all around. Until he hops over 5 minutes later to inspect & use it, that is.
...Harrow is making me a bit more into a morning person.
...How do the day's first greetings with your rabbits go?
(also, how do I update this? do I just make a new thread each time I have something overly-gushing & not too profound to say?)

yes I can imagine rabbit hind legs can do some damage to eyeballs, hahaha.
