[Petbunny] Binkies/ was: also *sigh*

[Amanda Hallock]

Here's a silly game you could try.  You could try the game we play.  Greg
and I play follow the leader with me on my knees and we take turns leading.
And you do this for several minutes a day most days of the week.  (I know,
not possible for all people)  But Greg just loves it.  I love it because I
get to see his little tail wiggle and then he'll jump a little and run and
keep just three to six feet ahead of me for the most part.  The goal is to
follow him saying "I'm going to getcha!" (in typical voice you use with two
and three year olds) and try and slowly catch the bunny.  If I catch him, I
put one arm on each side of him, bend down, and kiss the top of his head,
and say "Ah!  Gotcha!"  Then I turn around and head off in the other
direction at about the same speed and he will follow.  When he stops within
six inches of me, he gets the pet and kiss again, and then he'll take off
again, and I wait a little, and I follow him and he'll wiggle his tail and
we're off.  I *love* that little tail wiggle!

She does spend a lot of time out of her cage Amanda, but when I am gone, she

is in her cage.  So it is half the time she is caged up.  I will try and put

her (and I) on a diet and see what happens.

Thanks for the advise.
