IF … Jump

while we were playing, Peet became so euphoric
   that he suddenly burst into a series of perfectly executed binkies.
   One right after another … the bunny hop, a triple axel, then several
   double salchows preceded an astonishing half loop finale.
   I was riveted by Peet's athletic prowess … and adrift
     with thoughts of Cirque du Soleil.

IF … Heights

Today my Peet turned me into an animal balloon.

We had the funnest fun ever.

Sometimes Peet was jumpy, and I soared even higher.

This must be how angels feel.

IF … Vocal

HONK … HONK … purrrrr … HONK … HONK … squeak … HONK … HONK … purrrrr …

HONK … HONK … purrrrr … HONK … HONK … squeak … HONK … HONK … purrrrr …

Peet, like most buns, 'honks' when he's content.
So what makes him happy? Four things are certain …
    He honks when he's eating.
    He honks when if you give him a special treat.
    He honks when he gets attention.
    And he honks especially loud when he snuggles.

Buttercup's happy noises are mostly outside the range for human ears,
however, she never lost her ability to purr after she grew up.

If you get REALLY close, you just may be able to hear what they're saying.
Go ahead, put your ear up against the monitor. They're really quite noisy.

Earlier this week …
While Peet & Buttercup warm up their voices, let me entertain you with a look at the past. Here is a cover for a music book I illustrated almost 7 years ago. Wow! Time flies – whether you're having fun or not!

There were nine music books produced, each corresponding to a cycle of prayer in the Roman Catholic church. A release is planned, but currently on hold.

Happy Easter!

IF … Return

BUTTERCUP!
Hand it over.

But Peet, you weren't using it.

I was too.

Then what was it doing in the carrot patch?

(sigh)

Just gimme my fluff.
