on the floor

we've been attempting to learn to slide. we aren't sure how to keep ourselves moving once we're out there. we got stuck yesterday.

i hate the slippery!!

we don't like getting stuck on slippery floors.

tweaking to accomodate our weakness

the success of yesterday has prompted a new idea: we can slide out of our prison! on our bellies. we will slide everywhere we want to go!

it was my idea!! hooray for chicken!!!

we will practice this. we will master this. we can't fall down if we never stand up.

chicken is awesome!

poor pig

pig cannot write today. he tried all paws. he took one paw off the carpet. then he slid himself onto the slippery. then he lifted himself up and smiled. and then he slipped and scurried to the carpet and he's been sulking in the cage all day.



i feel sad for him!! so i slid myself onto the slippery. it was scary, but it wasn't so bad. i didn't try to stand - i just lay there. and i did it!! and then i slid back to the carpet.

baby steps

we put one paw on the slippery floor, and the rest of the paws on the carpet. we can get used to this.

i did it, too! it wasn't so bad. but i still hate the slippery!!

tomorrow, all paws.

whatever. crazy pig. crig. haha!

not amused.

first time is hardest

step 1: we stand on the slippery floor.

i won't i won't i won't i won't i won't i won't

we will be able to do anything once we do this.

no no no no no no no no no no

we have a long way to go.

chicken will not

pig always publishes before i get a chance to respond. i will NOT WALK ON THE SLIPPERY!! i hate the slippery. pig will have to work out his craziness alone this time!

the crumbling of our bondage

may's wall fell down today. the wall that keeps us shielded from the outside world. the wall that keeps us safe and secure in our own little space. secluding but protecting. the symbol of our sheltered lives--

now you are the dramatic one. it's not even a wall, it's a curtain! ha!

the symbol of our sheltered lives, and now the symbol of our hope to overcome the fears which keep us living behind these curtains.

what are you talking about?!?!?!?!

we are going to learn to walk on the slippery floors.

we heart hopping

we've decided to utilize our existing strengths.  we will get to the top by hopping.  we're good at hopping.

i can hop way higher than you.

chicken cannot hop higher than pig.

i can!  i can!  i can!

we will see.

pig was not loving the pole

climbing involves intense concentration.

climbing involves moving upwards.

love that pole

pig is hugging the pole.  it's kind of cute.  but he's not climbing.  he's just hugging.  not very effective.  i think we should just ask may to take us up there if he wants to go so bad!!  but he wants to plot and plan.  whatever.

train to win

we decided that before we plan any more routes to the top of the loft bed, we should train.  we still think climbing a pole is the most direct way to the top, so we're training to climb.

how are we going to do that?

we are training to climb a pole by trying to climb a pole.

well that's genius.

thank you.

my sarcasm is under appreciated.

toes

may's roommate came into our room today and sat down and talked to may.  she put her feet so close to our carpet.

her toes were painted so pretty!!

yes, her toes were painted.  we wanted to bite them.  but she is afraid of us so she moved her feet when she saw us looking.

do you really think she's afraid of us?  how could anyone be afraid of me??  i'm SO CUTE!!

we are cute.  she must be a little insane.

then i would think you two would get along better.

bookshelf is not happening

a problem with jumping from the cage to the bookshelf, is that may has cute things on top of her bookshelf.  we don't want to knock them off.

whatever.  i know that you're afraid of heights.

we care about may's things.

why can't he just admit that he's afraid?

continuing with the plan

we jumped on top of our cage today.  we like looking at things from way up there.  it's nice to just sit there and think.

after all your "planning", i can't believe you were too afraid to try and jump to the top of the bookcase.

we like it on top of the cage.

august = blah!

we haven't written in awhile.  we don't like august.  it shouldn't be a month.  but now it's september and we're reinvigorated.

hooray!

he's sooo boring

pig won't write anything. i don't know what's wrong with him. he seems so...sedated. i wonder if may knows anything about that??

a bird landed on the windowsill today and she was SOOO PRETTY! i wish she had been pink! that would have been REALLY PRETTY!

dance, fool

may let me watch part of the 'so you think you can dance' finals tonight. i was sooo glad because i've been listening to it all season!! it's hard to tell a lot about the dancers by just listening, but i still think kateee should have won. she was amazing!

pig didn't come watch. he's so distracted these days. i am going to get him to start blogging again - he's more amusing that way. and it's much more entertaining to make fun of him when he's paying attention to me.

another idea

we live on a piece of carpet, along with our cage. near our cage is a bookshelf. we will climb to the top of the cage, then jump to the top of the bookshelf. we will be halfway there.

why do you want to be halfway there?

we want to be halfway there. we are optimists. we'll be halfway to the top.

(and halfway to the bottom.)

sheeeek

someone is having trouble with my name. chic is pronounced like "she" and then a "kuh". not chick.

chick. chick.

men are such idiots.

the bunny formerly known as chicken

i realized something today. chig = chicken + pig. chic = chicken + fantastic. so you may now refer to me as chic.

we are chig.

i am chic.

WE are chig. there's no "i" in chig.

excuse me; what?

nevermind.

ladder, step one, continued

we are having some unexpected issues in reaching the bottom step.

you keep missing it. it's right there! just land on it.

we are not sure why the bottom step keeps re-adjusting itself while we are mid-lunge.

right. that's exactly what's happening.

ladder, step one

the carpet does not reach the ladder. i won't go on the floor.

this is the plan. we will jump from the edge of the carpet to the bottom step of the ladder. it isn't too far.

and then what?

and then we'll be on the ladder.

on the bottom step. how do we get to the top, genius?

we're sure that part of the plan will be obvious to us once we reach the bottom step.

ladder? yes.

we are thinking about the ladder. it goes all the way to the top of the loft bed. may uses it.

may has hands and feet.

one of us worries too much about non-important things.

girls rule

i am chicken. i'm the pretty one. i like pretty things. i also like sarcasm, because pig doesn't get it. that's funny. hee hee. i like to laugh, too.

ttyl!

cheese

may likes to take pictures of us. we try to be candid and act like we don't notice. we feel that it produces better pictures.

whatever. i like to pose.

we want to try taking pictures, too.

i would be such a good photographer! everything would be so pretty and so cute. everyone would love me!

we would take serious photos depicting the realities of our living situation and the world as we see it from the windowsill. a photo documentary of two rabbits living in a manhattan high-rise.

pretty pictures!! flowers and sunsets and birds and bunnies!! and anything pink or fluffy! lots of photos!!!!!!!!

perhaps we will not learn to take pictures.
