        My flemmie, Simba, and my yorkie mix, Bucket, like to snuggle together and when one comes up on my lap for a pat the other has to hop up too (but I think that’s because neither wants to risk missing out on a possible treat!)

        Who is YOUR buns’ pal? Is it you or another pet? Just curious…

            I suppose I am my Gus’s best friend, though if he or any of the buns are getting attention, the dog is RIGHT there trying to get closer to me than the bunny is. Nothing better than when I’m surrounded by my pets!!!!!!!!!!!

                Henry’s best friend is our 14 year old dog Sam (we now call her his girlfriend, lol!). I think he chose her out of the 3 dogs cause she is blind and deaf and I’m sure he finds her the easiest to STALK! And I think she tolerates him the most cause half the time she doesn’t know he is right by her side???

                  I think Luna’s best friend is either my boyfriend or one of my flatmates. 
                  Not me, obviously.

                  If only she knew who paid for all her stuff, maybe she’d change her mind!

                    I think I’m Pippins best friend, when she’s out she’s always near me or trying to nibble my feet. But I think Pippin is Bellas best friend. For a bonded pair they couldn’t get along better and I’m so happy that Bella actually likes another being because she’s a spitfire!

                        My buns best friend is themselves. They don’t seem to care about anyone else but themselves. I’m sure I could easily separate the two and they’d just think, “more food for me” no but seriously lol they only love me for food I’m sure. Although, my husband did go into the buns room (he doesn’t interact with them that often) and they did notice it wasn’t the same body (notice I said body. They don’t acknowledge me as an individual) that normally gives them food! They kept nose bumping him and investigating this new being in their domain lol and when he tried petting Sally she hopped to the side and started grooming herself in disgust lol at least she lets ME pet her :p ha!

                          Moogle’s best friend is my boyfriend. He follows Zach everywhere. When Zach locks him out of rooms, Moogle stands on his hind legs waiting for him to come back and then binkies all over (profile pic). Though yesterday the bf got a bit upset and said he thinks Moogle bonded to me instead because Moogle does this new thing where he grooms my forehead and then I pet him before we go to bed. I’m pretty sure he still loves Zach more.

                          Ashe keeps to herself, but she does ask for pets from me a lot. Ever since nail clipping began, she hates everyone.

                                Ziggy’s a single bun, so I’d LIKE to think I’m his best friend by default. But time wise, he spends more time with his plastic coat hanger. lol! He likes to bang it on the hard wood floors. He likes toys that can make noise, but that’s his favourite.

                                    My buns are the bestest of friends with each other. They pretty much ignore the dog. They do come to me for attention sometimes, but it’s mostly because they are looking for treats. That’s all I’m really good for.

                                      Cinder’s best (and only friend) is me. I’d love to have a playmate for her, but I may need to invest in a bigger pen.

                                        Lucky’s best friend is me. He follows me anywhere. He comes when I call him, he grooms me whenever he can…he comes into my bed each morning, or whenever he wants pettings or to “make” my bed lol. He licks me all the time, I love it and hate it (especially when he has stinky breath..or starts trying to lick my eyelids…) He is not too fond of my boyfriend. My boyfriend helps clean and feeding, but he usually just binkies around my boyfriend when it’s his turn to do the ex pen lol, otherwise…well, the last interaction they had, Lucky attacked him and wouldn’t let go lol.
                                        Lucky bites anyone that tries to hold him other than me. He has never bit the kids though, but they have never tried to pick him up…he goes to them for pettings all the time though, he loves my youngest son probably the most after me. My son loves to lay down and pet Lucky, so he must view him as a source of love haha

                                        Rodan is still new, and had to be neutered. My boyfriend really wants Rodan to be his chill out pal, but he’s extremely hand shy He’s still getting used to it all. He doesn’t seem to have a preference at all. I think he and Lucky will be friends eventually though.

                                          Cheri: That picture is adorable! Even more so because they are almost the same size!

                                          Here’s Oscar with his best pal, the food bowl. Although it is a bit of an uneasy relationship, whenever the bowl is out of food, it’s likely to cause an argument between the two.

                                            Bumpy’s best friend is whoever is handing out treats. Followed by Outlaw, since Outlaw is the clairvoyant that predicts when treats will be administered, so Bumpy watches him closely. Third runner up would be his microfiber towel, which he loves to groom lovingly with many kisses.

                                                          My first “real” computer… March 2001, HP Pavilion Windows Me, got it all set up, connected the phone line, hit connect, -listen to screechy sounds of modem for a bit-, yay connected… now what? Hmmm -looks at keyboard buttons- OoooooO “CHAT” OK!! Internet Explorer opens up “Lycos Chat Rooms”…

                                                          Found a promising room called “Online Connection” YAY perfect!!

                                                          Sat in there for a good 20 minutes watching the words scroll by… until I could not stand it anymore…
                                                          “excuse me? what does ioi mean?”
                                                          The next 30 minutes I was taught chat-speak, by the lovely people there, who invited me with a smile and and an evil grin as they helped facilitate my addiction.

                                                          Man… 13 yrs ago… time sure does fly.

                                                            I would definitely be the best human friend. Foo loves her daddy, but as he has said, not in the same way she loves mommy. Best animal friend? Hmmm, would probably be the kitten who is terrified of her. Last time the kitty visited, Foo was super excited and wanted to play and kitty laid down and cried until I took her back downstairs.
