“Ah my kids, ya gotta love ’em. They woke me up early this morning and told me that for my Father’s Day, they were gonna trim my mustache. All right, that didn’t work out so well, but still you gotta love ’em, right?”

Was he mistaken for an Easter chocolate bunny? I ask because I would always start to eat my chocolate bunny with the ears ?
Happy Father’s Day to those who still have their dads or are dads.
Me, too – can’t imagine someone wanting to eat this lovely fellow. Mike, I get the feeling you might have been hanging on to this image for just the right moment – and, boy, was this ever it! Too funny.
In areas where there’s a stray cat problem, catch-and-release neuter programs will clip ears of cats they’ve already “processed” to avoid wasting time and effort catching an already-deberried tom. I wonder if there’s some bunny equivalent??
I looked at the Flickr page linked under the picture and it lists groups that the photo is included in. Two of them were “Urban Wildlife” and “Landscape & Wildlife Photos of the World.” So maybe? (I was hoping thesee were pets but those two tags suggest not. 🙁 )
PS Is anyone else having trouble posting comments? I’ve been getting a blank page after hitting the post button lately (and sometimes just trying to open the page from my email) and just now I got a ‘bad request’ or whatever it says. The blank page thing only seems to be happening at work, though, so I don’t know if it’s the page or just me.
These are domestic rabbits, a Dutch mix. Wild rabbits/hares are always in shades of brown for camouflage (except the artic hare in snow). If you ever see a non-brown, or lop-eared, rabbit in the wild it is a discarded pet, who has no survival skills.
(A cemetery in my area is a popular place for “releasing” pet rabbits.?)
Thanks for noting that, 6 Rabbits. People seem to think rabbits either have a “Gund” tag in their ears or that they’re critters of the wild and can fend for themselves. The Rescue Group I have worked with has found rabbits in the most extraordinary places and I despair of at least some sectors of the human race that would treat a delicate creature – any creature, come to that – with such disdain.
Interesting markings on these bunnehs. Poor bun with the tip of its ear missing, that had to hurt. It does look like it has half of a mustache. I hope these are pets but I can’t quite tell due to the surroundings.
They’re domestic bunnies, tho’ they might’ve been let free – STUPID thing to do, so we can hope they’re just taking the air.
One can only hope they’re pets on an outing. Too many hoomins dispose of their trusting pets in cruel ways. Our daughter’s one bunneh she adopted from a rescue shelter had been found in a dumpster. It makes me sad/mad to think how scared our precious, Leo , must have been and thankfully a kind soul took him to the rabbit rescue.
Two bits!
(Sorry, had to be done.)
When I was little (like 3 or 4 – 900 years ago), my dad shaved his mustache and I ran screaming. He never let me live that down…that and the fact that I cheated him out of his first father’s day by being born the day after.
