Cinnamon Sunday aka Grunty McGrunt Grunt

Caught on film: Audible Disapproval!

When Cinnamon is irritated, she will grunt. The other night, Cinnamon wanted a treat and I wanted to pet her. When I would try to give her some bunny love, she would grunt in irritation:

Peep torture

I disapprove of Peeps (like everything else), but especially when they're roasted on an open flame:

Disapproving Rabbits Book In Stores

Yesterday morning, I dropped Non Birding Bill off at work on the Minneapolis campus of St. Thomas University. We walked by the St. Thomas Bookstore and even though it was closed, we could see the Disapproving Rabbits book prominently displayed from the entrance--whoot!

On one of his breaks, NBB went to the downtown Minneapolis Barnes and Noble and found the book out and on display and texted me the above photo.

I also got a message and the above photo from Hasty Brook who went out to her local Barnes and Noble to find a copy:

"The kids and I were at Barnes and Noble this afternoon looking for books for John, and when I went to the desk to ask for help, I found the clerks laughing over a stack (6) of your books! They thought it was really funny! We were excited to find our Buddy in it- can't wait to get mine! I took a couple of cell phone pix of the books on the shelf for you. Congrats! It was on the shelf between Jon Stewart and a book called "How to Build a Bong"!!"

I'm not sure Cinnamon would approve being next to a book on modern bong building, but she would tolerate Jon Stewart. I had to take Cinnamon out to the vet's to get her nail's trimmed (and drop off a book). Afterwards, we also went around town to see where else one could find The Disapproving Rabbits book.

I took Cinnamon discreetly into the Har Mar Barnes and Noble and looked for the book. I couldn't find it and asked at the help desk--they were just unpacking it. I mentioned that it was my book and that Cinnamon was the star and they got excited. That's Janet in the above photo, she asked if she could hold Cinnamon--I warned that disapproval to the uninitiated can be a jolt, but she handled it well.

Then, they asked if I would autograph their store copies! I was so not expecting that--I figured that I'm too new and unknown, but they said that I'm local and Harper Collins is a big deal. So, if you want an autographed copy and one that has been personally disapproved of by Cinnamon--head to the Har Mar Mall Barnes and Noble. It even has the "Autographed copy" sticker honor--whoot whoot!

We then went over to the Roseville Borders and after some searching, found the book on the bottom shelf of the humor section.

Our last stop was DreamHaven Books where the manager, Elizabeth showed Cinnamon their display. Incidentally, there were only a few books left, but Elizabeth said that they would be getting more--especially for the Disapproving Rabbits Party on November 2, 2007! I'm so excited, the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society will be there with information on house rabbits and some live foster rabbits--it very well might be a bunny 'splosion! And, there will be cookies for humans and parsley for disapproving bunnies! It'll be fun!

After all that excitement, we came home and I gave Cinnamon some bunny smack aka canned pumpkin--she does approve of that! Here's a video of her eating her pumpkin after visiting all the book stores, be sure to watch for the oh so cute bunny tongue action at the end:

Oldie But A Goodie

We've had this video over at the Birdchick Blog but I thought some of the newer readers might like to see Cinnamon take on a massive sprig of parsley. Even when eating one of her favorite foods, she still manages a disapproval.

Just a Show

A while back the Birdchick took me on Just a Show. I disapproved of sitting on the desk, and being on camera, and I think I let them know it.
