Chapter 46 - Boxing Day
“Come on Merlot, it Boxing Day! Let’s play!” exclaimed Enzo as he ran towards a pile of boxes strewn across the floor. Merlot followed after Enzo, wondering, “What’s boxing day? Do we box?” She knew rabbits could box, but she had never done that. It was more of a guy thing.
Enzo replied, “No, silly. It da day after Christmas. Dad call it Boxing Day. Der are lots of boxes, and we get to play in them! I think it better dan Christmas!” Enzo stood up on his back feet and peered inside one of the boxes. There were cardboard pieces inside. He hopped in and began chewing on them, sounding like a rapid-fire machine gun.
Merlot ran over to a small pile of boxes that had been flattened down. She rooted around and found a good one to gnaw on. Merlot asked, “Are you sure this is OK? Dad won’t mind?” Enzo reassured her, “No, don’t worry. He don’t mind. He leave dem out for us!”
Downstairs, Bentley was busy chewing on the new foraging ball he got for Christmas. That was his favorite toy.
Aboard the Starship Bunnyprise, Mocha and Hobo were busy bunstructing an empty 20 lb. hay box from Small Pet Select, remodeling the “doorway” to fit Hobo’s round shape.
Merlot was so happy, she did a triple binky as she bounded over to Enzo. Indeed, the day after Christmas was more fun for the buns!
