Rabbit! Rabbit!
The Merry Month of May has arrived! And you know what that means… make sure the first words out of your mouth (on the first day of May) are “rabbit, rabbit”. This is doubly important if your birthday occurs this month. Saying “Rabbit, rabbit” will ensure good luck all month long.
I forgot to say Rabbit! Rabbit! I can’t believe I forgot. I never forget. But I did. However, my May is not doomed! I said Tibbar, Tibbar and hopped backwards two times. Tibbar is Rabbit spelled backwards and saying it twice while hopping, is your second chance, to pay your respects to the Rabbit and reboot your monthly luck! Whew. That was a close one.
And now for a little Rabbit! Rabbit! Gallimaufry:
♥~ Darius, a continental rabbit, holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for The World’s Longest Rabbit. Darius weighs approximately 50 pounds and is 4 feet, 3 inches long. He lives a hoppy life with his owner Annette Edwards from the UK. Edwards also takes care of Darius’ son named Jeff. He’s only a year old, but he’s already a promising 3-feet-8-inches long. Edwards thinks Jeff could outgrow Darius.

I have some new ideas for Odd that I want to try out this month. Including posting about our 3 hour, early morning, city drives to pick up our camp day campers. Oh the things that we see…! And I’d like to post more about our Camp-Run-A-Pup adventures. Not forgetting El Morno, of-course. . .,may the energy be with me.
Wishing you a very Merry May!
Odd Loves Company,
Rabbit Rabbit!! I remembered! I just LOVE rabbits, and so I thank you for all these wonderful, interesting facts! When Domer was a kid, one of his friends had a BIG bunny that was oh-so-soft and cute. I imagine Dallas could be trained not to bother a pet rabbit, but herding is his nature, so he’d probably worry the poor thing to death. Hmm, interesting ideas about changing up some of your posts — yes, I think we’d all enjoy seeing your trips and campers!!
Good Job! I think you are right about a Rabbit and Dallas. Not the best pairing. I’ve had friends who have kept Rabbits as pet…in some cases it’s worked out well and in others not so much so. I like how soft they are and admiring in someone elses house.
Thanks for the posting encouragement.
Morno,
Rabbit! Rabbit. Or in my case Tibbar, Tibbar.
I’m good with change as long as you can share a food of the day on occasion along with a fact or two. The facts are useful. I plan to correct my sister when she tells everyone those dam rodents (Rabbits) are destroying her garden.
Looking forward to beautiful weather and golf. Have a good one.
I’ll always share a few facts and foods. I just need to revamp the schedule a bit.
Please don’t torture your sister with Odd!
Your season has arrived!
Forgot. Great rabbit facts though!
Good evening!
Post-a-notes are your first of the month friend. But I bet your luck holds!
