Yesterday morning I noticed two bunnies facing each other in our yard.  One would inch a little closer and the other would jump straight up in the air.  The next time the rabbit ran right at the other bunny and it jumped again allowing the other to go under it.  I was so busy watching this unusual behavior that I forgot to bark.

I asked Mom to find out what was happening.

“Run and play, little rabbit,” said the Fairy to the Velveteen Rabbit and play they did.  I was a witness to what is known in the rabbit world as ‘binking’.  It is one of the most notable ways that rabbits communicate jubilation.  Who knew, right?   The buns are simply trying to express how happy they are and perhaps a bit mischievous.  Now it could be a ‘spring dance’ too; we will have to wait and see but I think they were just binking in the early summer morning.

They are probably doing this while we sleep. ~ Lucy

We are home for awhile.  Our next tour won’t be till September when we will be heading for Texas again.  It has been a month full of fun though, hasn’t it.  Since we got home from Plano, Mom and Dad have been busy in the yard mowing, cleaning out the flower beds, trimming, and that sort of thing.  It is hot too….90s.  Even after the weeks of rain the old clay soil is cracked.  Mom says it’s a wonder anything grows around here.  We got haircuts yesterday as you can see; we’ll probably have to go shorter before the summer is over.  Our cousin Randy came for a visit yesterday.  That’s always fun.  Have a good week.  See you soon. ~ Indy and Lucy

Just a note to say hi. We are here in the heart of Texas, stopping to smell the flowers. We will give you a full report when we get home. ~ Indy and Lucy

The kilt….an ancient and noble garment and this is the one I will be wearing in the Annual Parade of Scotties, Bailey’s Harbor, WI when I attend the Door County Scottie Rally.  Colleen Lambrecht made a red one for me and a blue one for brother.  I would love to show you his picture but he tried to run behind the table when Dad got it out.  Mom said he looked so pitiful that she was not publishing it anywhere.  Here I am. 🙂

I like this Red Stewart tartan a lot too.  We take an extra set just in case.  You never know.

This Thundershirt is the best idea Mom has had yet.  I am using it as dog spanx and does it not take 5 pounds off?  It is going to be my “go to”.  Don’t let it rain on your parade.  Love ya  ~ Lucy

Mom can’t bear to throw these out. They have Sophie’s little toofs’ imprints.  Mom used to call her a reef shark ~ Lucy
