Prologue, part 3 (I am getting there....)

So I have been in "my space" for a good 4 years now, and have seen and heard many interesting things. I have suffered from the noise of parrakeets, and got bird poo abuse, I got rained upon and was covered in snow a few times, as well. I had all sorts of bottoms sitting on me, some bigger than others (I am happy that my favourite human's bottom is getting smaller now; I was beginning to feel the pain in my planks...).

Here are just a few highlights from the last 4 years:

There will be froggies in this blog, like it or not. They are my best friends, apart from my humans.

Here are some humans looking at a strange cardboard construction. Apparently it's for rabbits. But hey, don't I look good in that picture??

August 2008, looking good:

February 2009 came as a bit of a shock:

In September 2009 my humans built a shed. For the rabbits, of course. Those furry things are getting spoilt, I tell ya. Luckily they are staying well away from me. I can hear them nibble the wood of the sheds (yes, there are two rabbit sheds now...). I wouldn't want to be abused like that. It's bad enough that I get "eaten" by wasps.

In spring of 2010 I was removed from my usual spot for refurbishment. I got a proper sanding down and then got some lovely oil rubbed into my planks. I felt a lot younger after that. But you have to admit, there is something missing when I am not next to the pond:

Later that year I even got my own bench cushion. Very decorative and it helps to protect my planks from the weight of the humans. Not sure why there was that litter box beneath me, but my humans always come up with some strange ideas.
