2. Advent of the year

Time for gifts yet again!

Dansk version:

Med lidt julemusik og nogle adventsgaver, så kan julen ikke slå helt fejl. Julestemningen spreder sig langsomt, som decemberdagene går. Det er blevet 2. søndag i advent, og det indebærer selvfølgelig gaver. På med nissehuen og så blev julemusikken tændt, og så var det ellers bare med at placere Molly og Sandy's adventsgave foran dem, og så klarede de resten selv. 

Inden pakkerne blev pakket op, så blev der lavet photoshoot med kaninerne på skift. Der blev lagt lidt gran i baggrunden, de to pakker blev sat fint op, og der var en hule, der var lavet som en nissehue, som Sandy har fået engang. Så blev først Molly og dernæst Sandy kaldt op, og de begyndte straks at snuse rundt, og dette var helt perfekt, når der blev taget billeder med det professionelle kamera. Det endte med at blive nogle virkelig søde billeder af kaninerne, der er nysgerrige på julen.

Denne advent var det Molly, der fik lov til at pakke hendes gave op først. Hun begyndte at bide og kradse i indpakningen. Hun var god til at rive små flager af papir af, og hun var faktisk ganske effektiv med oppakningen. Hun fik åbnet den, og hun blev ellevild, da de lækre dufte strømmede ud af pakken. Hun havde fået tre bokse, der er lavet ud af et spiseligt materiale, som er græsfiber, og disse bokse hænger sammen på en fælles snor, der også er spiselig for kaniner, og de er adskilt af små skiver af birketræ. De tre bokse indeholder et hav af forskellige tørrede blomster og urter, som også er kaninsikre. Molly ruskede i kasserne, for at få indholdet ud og snart sluttede Sandy sig til hende, for at undersøge Molly's adventsgave nærmere. Det var vist en velvalgt gave. Nu var det Sandy's tur til at pakke hendes adventsgave op. Hun puffede løs til pakken. Den blev tippet rundt et utal gange, og hun begyndte at bide stykker af, som hun pænt lagde ved siden af. Sandy fik pakket gaven op, og indeni lå en pose med lækkert frisk og fint hø. Straks blev den gave, som Molly fik, efterladt (for en tid) og så var der ellers fokus på Sandy's gave. Den var nemlig ny og duftede også lækkert, så nu var det videre til at sidde og guffe dén. De sad længde og gnaskede i de specielle hø, der er fra et helt specielt område. Det er en græssort for sig selv, og det så ud til at falde i god jord hos både Sandy og Molly.

Men adventsgaver er var ikke det eneste som kaninerne fik denne dag. Det var nemlig også den 4. December, og det betyder, at de også skulle have deres daglige kalendergave. Sandy fik først sin, og hun fik en håndfuld tørrede grønne lækre mælkebøtteblade. Molly kunne ikke lade vær med at liste sig over og smage et par stykker, men når det er Sandy's kalendergave, så er det også hende der får mest, og det samme gælder for Molly, når det er hendes kalendergave. Da Molly skulle modtage dagens gave, hoppede rundt rundt omkring den og var yderst interesseret. Hun fik nogle små stænger, der var lavet af sammenpresset Timothy hø. Disse Timothy stænger var noget, som hun særdeles godt kunne lide. Hun sprang op og tog den i munden, hvorefter hun løb afsted med den, for der var jo nødig nogen, som skulle stjæle den fra hende. Sandy kom snigende hen og spurgte pænt om lov, før hun også snuppede en Timothy stang, og stæsede så derefter afsted med den, hvorefter at den blev nydt.

Til sidst på aftenen blev der hygget lidt mere stille og roligt. Der blev lagt en måtte ud (Vetbed) i løbegården, som vi alle kunne sidde på, og så fik de ellers læst godnathistorie. Men i dag var det en julehistorie. Det var en tegneserie fra Disney, som blev læst højt. De faldt med tiden til ro, og de faldt i søvn stille og roligt.

Glædelig 2. Advent og 4. December.

English version:

With Christmas music and some Advent gifts, Christmas can't go wrong. The Christmas spirit spreads slowly as the days of December pass. It has become the 2nd Sunday of Advent, and of course that means gifts.

Before the packages were unpacked, a photoshoot was done with the rabbits in turn. Some spruce was laid in the background, the two gifts were set up nicely. Then first Molly and then Sandy were called up and they immediately started sniffing around and this was absolutely perfect when taking pictures with the professional camera. It ended up being some really cute pictures of the bunnies being curious of Christmas.

This Advent, it was Molly who was allowed to unwrap her present first. She started biting and scratching the wrapper. She was good at tearing off small flakes of paper, and she was actually quite efficient with the packaging. She opened it and she went crazy when the delicious scents poured out of the package. She had been given three boxes which are made from an edible material which is grass fiber and these boxes are connected by a string which is also edible for rabbits and they are separated by small slices of birch wood. The three boxes contain different dried flowers and herbs. Molly shook the boxes to get the contents out and soon Sandy joined her to examine Molly's Advent present more closely. It must have been a well-chosen gift. Now it was Sandy's turn to unwrap her Advent present. She pushed the package around. It was tipped over countless times, and she began to bite off pieces, which she neatly placed to the side. Sandy had the gift unwrapped, and inside was a bag of delicious and fresh hay. Immediately the gift that Molly got was left behind (for a period of time) and then the focus was on Sandy's gift. It was new and also smelled delicious, so now it was time to sit and enjoy it. They sat for a long time and munched on the special hay, which is from a very special area. 

But Advent presents were not the only thing the rabbits got this day. It was also the 4th of December, which means that they should also have their daily calendar gift. Sandy got hers first and she got a handful of dried green delicious dandelion leaves. Molly couldn't resist sneaking over and tasting a few, but when it's Sandy's calendar gift, she gets the most, and the same goes for Molly when it's her calendar gift. When Molly was to receive today's present, she jumped around it and was extremely interested. She got some small sticks made from compressed timothy hay. These Timothy sticks were something she particularly liked. She jumped up and took it in her mouth, after which she ran away with it, so no one would steal it from her. Sandy sneaked up and asked nicely for permission before she also grabbed a Timothy rod, then ran off with it, and then it was enjoyed.

At the end of the evening, the fun became a little more quiet. A mat was laid out ( a Vetbed) in the enclosure, which we could all sit on, and then they were read a bedtime story. But today it was a Christmas story. It was a cartoon from Disney that was read aloud. In time they calmed down and they fell asleep quietly.

Happy 2nd Advent and 4th December everyone!
