It is not the most usual of pets but it was sort of thrust upon me. I have been wanting to get a pet for a while, a dog really (I had been hemming and hawing about that for a good year), and I just hadn&#8217;t done it. A friend of a friend was giving away a rabbit and I was suggested as the owner. I wasn&#8217;t sure about the whole thing but as soon as he got into my home I knew he wasn&#8217;t going anywhere. Still, I often find myself reading about dog care, and I recently came across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holistapet.com\/products\/probiotics-for-dogs\">holistapet<\/a>\u00a0probiotics for dogs, which got me thinking about how important gut health is for all pets, big or small.<\/p>\n<p>His name is Mark Fluffalo. I didn&#8217;t name him, my brother did and he insists he looks like Mark Ruffalo. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/ruffalo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Ruffalo\/Fluffalo\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/ruffalo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t see it. The uncontrolled mane maybe?<\/p>\n<p>There was Nuit Blanche. I did it but not that much of it. I went with a friend to the stuff at TIFF Bell Lightbox. Partook in a movie karaoke sing-a-long that was pretty fun. They also had this mashed-up pseudo biographical film about Vincent Price that was weird, funny, and surprisingly poignant. Then we wondered the streets a bit. Was part of an exhibit where you play a video game. It is part charades part shadow puppets and all making an ass of yourself. It was fun. Here are some pics of other things that we saw.<\/p>\n<p>This is the thing I got after playing the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 8.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Nuit Blanche 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 8.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Palm Trees on Cherry Pickers: This was simply surreal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Nuit Blanche 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 1.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cardboard box robots: Graffiti artists took old cardboard boxes and made them into robot-like forms<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 2.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Nuit Blanche 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 2.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They had a DJ spinning and at some point there were breakdancers but I missed that part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 3.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Nuit Blanche 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 3.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The big ones were massive about 15 feet tall and these smaller ones were around 4 feet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 4.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Nuit Blanche 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Nuit Blanche 4.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beachball world: An outdoor area was set up using globe beach balls.
