You can mostly see Mei's tiny white socks. (Torb has no pants or socks.)
Two rabbits stretched out on a carpet. The gray/white mini lop is resting his head on his front paws. The white/black Dutch rabbit (who has black pants) has her back paws crossed and her front paws peeking out from under her chest.

I think Torb is going to like the couch? He finally got up here today (for my rabbits' favorite treat: unsalted, hulled pumpkin seeds).
A semi-blurry picture of a white/gray mini lop rabbit on a dark gray couch. The rabbit is in motion, as evidenced by the blurriness. His front paws are slightly hovering above the couch, and he is facing toward the camera with his head tilted to the right.

Yeah..... supposedly, Aldi had cat sombreros recently but I didn't see any in the store.
A screenshot of a question on Google Opinion Rewards. The text is: "Google Opinion Rewards Question 2 of 4 When you searched for: cat sombrero, how helpful were the Google Search results?" Below the text is an image of a Google search with many ads for mini/cat sombreros.

I had a nightmare that I lost Mei in a sea of other b/w Dutch bunnies (clones), and I was so worried I wouldn't be able to find her again... until I remembered that she has one eye and the fur on her ears didn't grow back as expected. (They had to shave her ears to put the IVs in for her surgery.)
One-eyed Dutch rabbit in a loaf-like position, pictured from above. Her ears have both black and white fur growing on them, so they look grayish. This is the position that Mei gets in when she wants me to pet her, and I stopped petting her to take this picture.

His booty is hanging out the shop
Mini lop rabbit in a cardboard box decorated like an ice cream shop. The rabbit is laying his head on his front paws, and his butt is hanging out the window of the ice cream shop box. It's funny, but I guess comfortable for him.

This is the only "art" hanging in our new house so far. My husband found his old Pokémon cards in a box on Mother's Day when we were at his parents' house.
4 framed Pokémon cards in a cross formation. The top card is a Japanese Pikachu card from ~1997. The other cards are old shiny cards of Wigglytuff, Pinsir, and a Japanese Skiploom. The cards were not stored properly, but the only card in semi bad shape is the Pinsir because it looks like dog bit it repeatedly.

Bunny conked tf out in the ice cream shop
Two rabbits that are sleeping in a cardboard box, decorated like an ice cream shop. The first rabbit is on her side passed out. (She looks pretty dead to the world.) The next one is barely visible with just a bit of his head in view behind her. Two rabbits that are sleeping in a cardboard box, decorated like an ice cream shop.

I'm so glad that Mei and Torb are adjusting to the new house. Torb wouldn't leave the room we set up for them for a week. But once we set up a TV and his red rug, he was comfortable hanging out in the living room. (And we were de-bunnify the office space for our own use.)
Two rabbits indoors in a home. One is laying on a rug snuggled up to a plush penguin, and the other is in a blue, high sided litter box.

Baby girl must have been hard at work moving stuff into the new house today. She doesn't even weigh 5 pounds, so it's tough for such a little bunny in a big world.
Black/ white Dutch rabbit laying in a "L" shape near a Cosco dolly. (The dolly is actually really cool and useful for moving because you can lay it down to be more like a wagon. It has 4 wheels.)

I hope that rabbit ice cream takes off. It'd be nice if they contributed to the bills.
Two rabbits in a cardboard "house" that says "Ice-Cream Shop" on the top. The rabbit on the left, a mini lop, has his eyes closed and is laying down inside. The rabbit on the right, a black/white Dutch rabbit, is also laying in the box but is partially getting up with one front leg extended. She looks as if she is saying, "Can I help you?"

I'm going to miss the bunnies running down their personal drag strip each morning. (We start moving tomorrow 🫠)

A gif of two rabbits running down a hallway toward the camera. The first rabbit is faster, a black/white Dutch rabbit, Mei. The second rabbit lags behind (but you can see his ears flopping fast)--a grey/white Mini Lop, Torb.

In related news, Mei has started sleeping under my husband's desk. She misses him and is waiting for him to return home.
:(
A black/white Dutch rabbit laying in a loaf position on wood-style flooring under a desk next to one leg of the desk. She is precariously close to some cords that she hasn't messed with yet. Torb (not pictured) is also sad. (I also caught Torb sitting behind the vacuum on the other side of the desk, even though he rarely leaves the carpeted areas.)

Torb is pouting a bit but satisfied enough that he's falling asleep... but still ready to wake if I decide to fulfill his wish for a full salad.
A white/ grayish mini lop rabbit, Torbjörn. This is a cutout picture, and only his body is visible. He is facing the camera with his ears pulled a tad bit back and looks mildly grumpy. Even though he is mostly asleep, he is still standing up on all four paws. (He usually sleeps loafed or stretched out while laying on the ground.)

Mei can really make the best of any situation and is generally happy with what we give her.
Mei, a black/white Dutch rabbit, in a brown paper box on its side. She is facing the camera, and most of her body can be seen through the open flaps. Mei was very grateful when we adopted her, and she chins everything we give her, including this box.

My FIL brought me this Star Wars Simon game today. I didn't know what it was at first, because it's almost as old as me. The rechargeable batteries in it were old, maybe from 2002?
But it still works (with new batteries)! I was even able to find the instructions (a crooked scan on Hasbro's website).
Outside of game, folded up. The text says, "Star Wars Simon A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away..." A photo of the game unfolded on both sides. The first side shows four buttons with raised star ship symbols on each numbered button, 1. Red 2. Green 3. Blue. 4. Yellow. The screen perpendicular to the buttons shows the same ship highlighted with a glow outline of the respective colors that correspond to the buttons. There is a circle where an LED lights up by each ship. There is a different starship centered in between all the buttons that are in color, yellow, black, and silver. The ships on the buttons and screen are the ships you are "aiming" at, and the ship in the center represents the ship you are "shooting" from. To the left of the circle of buttons is the raised text, " Star| Wars| Episode 1| Simon."The second side can only be partially seen with three buttons at least partially visible. A close-up picture of the second side, showing buttons and a partial view of the screen. Showing a different ship on the same colored buttons and a silver ship symbol in between those buttons. The ships on the buttons and screen are the ships you are "aiming" at, and the ship in the center represents the ship you are "shooting" from. The text on the left also says, "Star| Wars| Episode 1| Simon."

No cheating. Post the last photo of your pet.
A photo of a rabbit sitting on a couch and another rabbit drinking water on the ground. Torb, a white/gray mini lop, is turned toward the camera while sitting in the middle of a couch cushion. Mei, a black/white Dutch rabbit, is facing away from the camera and drinking water from a gravity waterer on the ground.

I have phrases in my weather app that I've never seen before, "blowing dust," and the air quality index is hazardous over 500.

My husband did just send me this picture, though. I don't know that I have ever seen a bird make such a perfect loaf before. I'm impressed that it can do that while also balancing on a pole.
A bird in a loaf position on a wooden pole in front of water. I think it's an Eastern brown pelican (according to Google). There are some green long slender leaves in the foreground in the lower left corner of the picture.

Get a rubber strap wrench! I keep one in the kitchen and don't have this problem anymore. It's adjustable so it can open bottle lids and huge pickle jar lids.
You can get them from Harbor Freight or any other tool/ hardware store. It looks like this:

Torb found a rock? He was just banging his bowl against this rock...
Questioning him about the rock's provenance has proven fruitless.
But, like... he is an indoor rabbit. Where did he get a rock?
Hand holding a jagged lump of mostly rectangular rock. I have no clue what kind of rock. It's uneven, and the colors include tones of brown, orange, and gray.

This is just so funny to me? I was worried my laughing at her would make her move before I got a picture, but Mei looks like someone photoshopped her front legs away. But I really think of it as "no arms, all arms."
Two rabbits cuddling on an area rug. The left rabbit is a black/white Dutch with only her back legs/feet visible. The right rabbit is a grayish mini lop with front paws extended and head laying down on top of the front legs.

It looks like during the next patches... We'll get 3 more outfits in 1.3 and then the last 3 in 1.4.
Screenshot of reddit post on r/infinitynikki. Relevant comments: 1. u/BOYF: It's mentioned on stream that it runs through 3 patches. So for now we only have 3 outfits. Next version update we'll get the others. 2. u/Velidae: Rounds = patches. 3 outfits per patch for a total of 9 outfits by 1.5. It was confirmed on the stream idk why they translated it in the store to "rounds. Each comment is from 6 days ago from January 30, so presumably, each comment was made on January 24th, 2025.

I love it when my babies keep me company by laying at my feet by the couch. My husband and I have been very ill the last few days, and they've been surprisingly accommodating.
Two rabbits loafed up in front of a couch. The left rabbit is a black/ white Dutch rabbit, and the right is a grayish mini lop. Both rabbits are relaxed and cuddling together. They are laying on a large red area rug with many large design motifs on it in front of a couch (not pictured).
