Mom and Dad heard the *thump* and went looking for Ruby.
Ruby decided to try and push the fabric up with her little nose.
“Oh no!” she sighed. “I don’t want to live in something’s belly!”
Just as she was sure she was going to be stuck in the belly of the fabric, a hand reached under the fabric and raised it so Ruby could escape.
“Daddy!!” Ruby got up on her back legs. “You saved me!”
Daddy picked her up and petted Ruby’s ears. “Did those bad curtains scare you?”
“Bad curtains!” Ruby gave the curtains her fiercest glare. “You can’t eat me! I am not a treat!”
Cola and Duster shook their heads … they knew all too well the evil that the curtains were capable of …
REFLECTIONS OF RUBY
Binky, binky, binky!
Ruby bounced around the bedroom. She was on her way out when she skidded to a stop.
“Oh hi … are you a new bunny?
Ruby waited for the white bunny “looking” back at her to reply.
“Oh you are shy. That’s OK! I am Ruby! I am new here too!”
The white bunny stayed silent.
Ruby flopped over and so did the other bunny.
“Flopping is wonderful! You are very good at it,” Ruby said.
Ruby proceeded to clean her paw and so did the other bunny.
“I don’t like when my paws are dirty,” Ruby said. “It infringes on my cuteness!”
Ruby jumped up and looked at her new friend.
“Do you like carrots? I love carrots! Let’s go see if Daddy will give us a carrot!” Ruby bounced out of the room.
When she returned, with her carrot in tow, she was so happy to see her new friend had a carrot too.
“Wow, you are fast! I didn’t even see you out there when Daddy gave me my carrot! Let’s eat them!”
And so they did.
Ruby flopped over again, eating carrots takes a lot out of a little bunny … and her friend flopped over too.
“I must be a good teacher cause you do everything I do,” Ruby said proudly.
Ruby hopped back up. “Have you seen the curtains yet?”
The new bunny didn’t respond.
“Oh my gosh, I have to show you the curtains - they can’t be trusted!”
Ruby hopped out of the bedroom, but when she turned around, her new friend wasn’t behind her. Ruby went back to the bedroom and saw her new friend was still standing where Ruby had left her.
“Oh, I understand. You are afraid of the curtains! That’s OK. I can show them to you another time!”
Ruby decided she had to teach her new friend how to nosebonk.
“Ready … I will nosebonk you … this means we are really good friends.”
Ruby put her nose up to the new bunnies’ nose. “Good work. You are a very smart little bunny … and cute … but I think I am a little bit cuter.”
Ruby then showed her new friend how to groom her ears and a few cute poses.
Daddy appeared in the doorway. “There you are! Mommy and I wondered where you had disappeared too!”
Ruby periscoped. “This is my new friend … but I don’t know her name yet!”
Daddy looked at the mirror. “Yes, that’s your reflection.”
“Oh, your name is Reflection!” Ruby hopped excitedly, happy to know her new friends name.
“Come on, Ruby, you can admire yourself more later on,” Daddy said and waited for Ruby to hop along behind him.
“Bye, Reflection! We can play later … oh and don’t chew on the bedroom carpet – Mom and Dad don’t like that,” Ruby gave her new friend one more piece of advice before binkying onto a new adventure.
SKIRTING DANGER
“Wheeeee ….” Ruby left the carpeted living room floor and slid across the kitchen tile into the hallway.
From there she hopped into the bedroom.
“Hi, Mom!” and a big binky.
“Good morning, Ruby,” Mom said, she was getting ready for work.
Ruby hopped on the bed and then dashed under the dresser … so much fun being able to hide in so many different places!
She scooted back out from underneath the dresser and stopped dead in my tracks … what was Mom wearing??
