Nibbles the Bunny arrived this week and I knew we’d be in for an adventure while he was here. Now, Joan warned us that Nibbles had a propensity for bull-headedness but, sheesh, we never expected anything quite like what occurred this week.
On the first day of his visit, Nibbles went to work with me at the museum. He wandered off several times and I thought it was odd that he’d always end up near some sharp utensil or object that could be used as a weapon. He seemed harmless enough.
We took a break for lunch and Nibbles didn’t seem happy. He seemed extremely irritated and uneasy. Before I knew it he went crazy and tipped over the jelly caddy.
He stormed out of the restaurant and went and sat in the car. He wouldn’t tell me what was wrong so I thought it best that we head for home.
On our way home he started yelling for me to stop the car. I did as he wished, after all, I didn’t want to make my guest any more disgruntled. I couldn’t believe what transpired next. Nibbles flew out of the car, pulled out a gun, ran off toward a wooded area and seconds later I heard a gun shot. I was shakin’ in my shoes! I ran to see what was going on and this is what I saw:
Oh.My.Gawd. I stood in shock, not knowing what to do. I screamed, “Nibbles! What have you done?” He looked at me with his cute bunny eyes and said, “Please do not panic, it was something that had to be done.” He saw that I was completely confused so he explained. It appears that this opossum (Pico Opossum, the famed Beanie Baby poacher) had been following Nibbles since he saw him on eBay. He knew he was a retired Beanie Baby and figured he could ask a huge ransom for him. Nibbles was not going to be held captive by some scumbag opossum so he took matters into this own hands.
I was relieved to find out it was a self-defense sort of situation. I figured the authorities didn’t need to know about this little incident so I cleaned up the evidence. I threw the body into the wooded area, disposed of the gun and high tailed it home to clean any traces of gun residue off of Nibbles. Luckily, there were no witnesses, so I think Nibbles will be able to steer clear of the law. I thought it best that he get out of dodge as soon as possible. I didn’t want any suspicions to get raised if someone does find the body. So…Nibbles is off to Allison’s. Be careful, Allison. Keep a constant eye on this bad bunny!

OMG, this is a great tale. Poor Nibbles. No wonder he was so disgruntled. It was a good thing you got him outa there. Hopefully there are no more after him. Texas is a long way to go. He should be safe there.
Great one.
Thanks, Joy. Heehee. You never know what dead animal will show up in my tales!
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!! A pistol welding bunny can be dangerous! Make sure that gun stays with you and now I’m putting all the weapons away here!
I love him tipping over the jelly! hhmm wonder where he gets that ornery streak (looking for joan)!
Yes, dangerous bunny, indeed. You’d better be careful when he comes to visit you. Make sure none of his badness wears off on Happy Bunny!
I don’t know …Philip had access to a gun in Texas. This may not be a good thing for these buddies!! They have some vented up anger issues!!
Haha. Toys with anger issues!!
This is hilarious. Poor Nibbles. He sure manages to get himself into trouble. He has probably seen me use the cane one two many times. I should have warned him to never resort to violence. Oh well, too late now. Thanks for covering up for him. I don’t want the police involved with our lives. Thanks for taking such good care of him.
Of course! He’s seen you use the cane. But who would have thought he’d be disgruntled enough to wield a gun??? I just hope he made it to Texas without a glitch!
ROFLMAO!!! Bunny on the Lamb…hhhmmmm?
MWahahahahahahaaaa!
That was some hilarious story. Nibbles is quite a rabbit. I want to hire him as a bodyguard!
Oh, he’d be a most excellent bodyguard. Seriously, I felt quite safe with him around. 😉
WOW!!! Nibbles what a hand full. I can’t believe he went so ballistic. Some of these stuff animals really can get themselves into messes. Very funny tale of the wild one. Glad he didn’t get into guns and bullets in Montana. What a wild hare.
He’s a wascally wabbit, that one! I just hope he doesn’t hop into more trouble on his travels.
Holy hell! You sure handled yourself in a calm manner in such extreme circumstances 2LD! I don’t know if I would have been able to be so cool! That last picture….how the fuck did you ever, ever, ever come up with that. I hit the floor laughing, never expected that! OMG! Are you kidding me? Ransom….scumbag…. ROFLMAO!
Yes, I’ve been known to be quite calm under stressful situations.
Mwahahahahaah…you never know when a dead opossum in the back yard will come in handy! I’ve gotta say, I was peeing my pants when I was setting up this photo. OMG. I was sure someone would think I was outta my mind! Damn. If only my life were this exciting!
LOL My daughter wanted to know if you killed that opposum)..I said who the hell cares it’s funny shit!
Eeeeek! Hahahahahaha. Yeah, I’m a opossum killing kinda gal!!
You don’t often see a dead opossum lying around, unless it’s road kill. This one was brought into my parent’s backyard by the turkey buzzards and it was just lying there…waiting for the photo op!
That critter has some nasty looking teeth…good thing Nibbles got to him first.
Yeah, I was grossed out by those teeth. Eeww.
I miss two days of reading blogs and LOOK WHAT I GET!!! This was brilliant!!! WOW!!
I see a book in the future. “Bad Buddies, Bored Broads, and a Dead Possum” or “WTF? Are They For Real?” HAHAHA
2LD, you take the frikkin’ cake!!! I love ya!
Mwahahhaah! You never know what you’ll miss when these buddies are floating around!
It really was the perfect set-up. Now I’m worried I won’t be able to top this. All the other buddies will be so bored.
ROFLMAO….this could indeed be a book!!!! Would that be too cool or what?
Yes, it would be cool…if someone else were to write it! 😉
Holy crap – look at that opossum’s teeth! Yikes! 😯
That bunny is definitely someone to be wary of. Be careful, Allison!
Yes, who knew that opossum had such gnarly teeth? What the heck do they eat, anyway? Small children?
you’ve all seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail right?…
Doesn’t nibbles look a little bit like that killer rabbit?
OMG! I never even thought of the killer rabbit (but maybe it was subconsciously tucked in my brain and that’s why I thought of this scenario. Hmmm?). Haahahahahahaaaa! Excellent!
at least he didn’t attack any of your family members!! 🙂
Oh my gosh I had forgot about the rabbit on Monty Python.
