Hear Ye, Hear Ye


Know All By These Presents:

That the Petitioner, Rabbit Fu-Fu, hereinafter known as "Bunny Fu", does hereby respectfully petition this court grant her request to adopt the QG Family. In support of that request, Bunny Fu respectfully would show the court the following:

1. For the past two years Bunny Fu has been building a relationship with the QG Family by hopping cutely around the aforementioned family's patio and lawn from time to time; and

2. Since the demise last fall of their beloved Gretel The Noble Dog, Bunny Fu is the only responsible animal on the premises who could take custody; and

3. Although Bunny Fu did not have a good relationship with the said Gretel, Bunny Fu has forgiven Gretel her debts (being a Presbyterian Bunny she does not say "trespasses"), so Bunny Fu does not harbor hard feelings about the family's previous animal custodian; and

4. The family has a suitable enclosed area in the yard that Bunny Fu can live in so she can properly supervise the said family; and

5. There is a lot of grass that Bunny Fu can help keep (chomp chomp) trimmed; and

6. I like Babs. A lot. She gave me carrot chips this weekend. I think I can work with her.

Wherefore Petitioner Bunny Fu asks this honorable court to grant her plea for adoption of the QG Family.


Respectfully submitted,
Rabbit F. ("Bunny Fu") Fu

What say you, members of the court?

UPDATE:

Judge Gannet Girl rendered the judgment of this honorable virtual court as follows--(see comments):
It is the finding of this court that it is in the best interest of the QG Family that custody of said family be awarded to the Petitioner; and

That the support and maintenance of said Petitioner be the responsibility of Family Member Babs (an oddly reversed set of findings, but whatever); and

IT IS THEREFORE HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the Motion of the Petitioner herein be and is granted in its entirety.
Signed and entered this 27th day of June, 2007.

  1. I thought Bunny Fu was a martial art.

    I vote to grant the petition, provided that a health plan is provided by the QG family including regular preventative care visits.

  2. A resounding, "Aye!"

    This brings back memories of my childhood, when we were adopted by a local squirrel. Greta (close, yes?) was a wonderful pet.

    Congratulations on your newest family member!

  3. It is so ordered!

    I daresay that Bunny Fu just may have her hands full as custodian of this family! Congratulations on acquiring one so well-suited for the job!

  4. Looks like a match to me. Still, you should consult John-the-Methodist in all things dealing with the order Lagomorpha.

  5. I second Mark's motion, that Bunny Fu be brought on board and given full medical (and dental) benefits.

    Easier ones to use than the Board of Pensions.

  6. Does Bunny Fu have to agree not to bop field mice on the head?

  9. Cool! That is one big ol' hefty lookin' bunny. Methinks perhaps he/she has eaten more than just carrot chips...

  10. I say Aye!!

    Further to Susie's question, perhaps Bunny Fu can be permitted to scoop the mice if she vows not to bop.

  11. I am favorably disposed.
    (They're both adorable!)

  16. And many happy returns!

    (I think the field mice would be willing to vote "aye" if Bunny Fu PROMISES not to bop.)

  17. Tonight as I walked the dog around the block, I saw a CAT carrying a half-grown and recently deceased bunny in her mouth. Tell our furry Petitioner to be on guard; dachshunds are not her only enemy!
