We have created a monster.

[grrly]

So...I have posted a couple of times about my bun Mr. Mushroom, he is a mini lop i have had him since feb. First some background on his living conditions. He lives in my dining room/dumping ground/craft storage/bunnyroom, he hates linoleum flooring, so he has a 3X5 foot carpet, and a couple of various little mats...that he lives on, he also has a cage, which he almost never goes in. This room is divided from our Living room with our sectional sofa. the end of the bunnies main carpet is about 3 and a half feet away from the back of our sofa. This has led to the bunny looking longingly and begging for pets. Add mat 1, which acts as a runway to the couch, he can come over for pets, when it is not exactly a convenient time for him to be out. So the other night my boyfriend was reaching over and giving him a pet and said, we should give him something to stand on over here that is a bit higher, then he could just hop over. He then proceded to get case full of empty bottles, and ducttape a bit of nonslip matting to the top. Mr. Mushroom happily hops up, on the box, he was up and down the box all the next day. At 5pm i come downstairs from being on the computer, and the bunny was in the living room (thankfully bunny proofed.) sitting on a pile of clean laundry, looking very innocent. Then we kinda started playing this game, he would jump up over the back of the couch, and startle me...we would have some pets time, and then i would put him back in his area. Around bunny bed time, i moved the step figuring he just stop. (Our sofa is very low keep this in mind.)...So my boyfriend is eating his evening snack, (he is diabetic.) and suddenly the bunny launches himself up onto the couch over the back...without using the step. The bunny just realized, he is no longer confined. so now his runway is moved away from the couch...at night, otherwise i will wake up to a mess. (The bunny is litter trained in his area, but not so much in the living room.)

It is entirely unnerving to be quietly reading or knitting and then suddenly BUNNY! right there practically in your lap.
