I need to preface this by pointing out it’s all true, which I know make it sound like I’m making it up, but I’m not. Our pet rabbit occasionally gets hiccoughs, which are as adorable as you might imagine, if you’re imagining a rabbit flopped out on his bed and suddenly, without sound, jiggling rhythmically, all over.
So I caught him starting to hiccough, and called out, “Try a folk remedy! That always helps!” And he looked a little bit at me for making such a racket and his hiccoughing stopped right there.
From this I learn that I’ve found an exciting new folk remedy for hiccoughs.
Also, if you enjoy this sort of thing, I found reasons to reprint a Jumble word puzzle over on my mathematics blog, because it mentioned abacuses, and that’s enough for my discussions of mathematical-themed comic strips. Also I explain why I think a magic trick from the kids’ activity page was wrong.

OK, undoubtedly I instinctively KNOW that bunny hiccups would be cute. BUT I had to see for myself and found this YouTube video … I know it’s not YOUR bunny … but it’s a hiccoughing Lepus curpaeums nonetheless : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJC3bkgwi5c
I ❤ bunnies.

Oh, that is adorable. Our pet rabbit is much larger than that, and his hiccoughs are silent as far as we can tell, but that does mean there’s a longer mass of bunny to wiggle.

Silent hiccoughs, huh? I saw a few other videos of rabbits who were “silent” while hiccuping — I thought there was no audio! Who knew bunnies were so quiet when hiccuping?! 🙂

Rabbits are awfully good about being quiet, which makes it all the more astounding when they do make noise. Ours is actually fairly noisy, for a rabbit, in that he’ll sneeze and even, on occasion, snore. And if you think a rabbit snoring loud enough to wake himself up might be adorable, you’re underestimating how adorable it actually is.

Can you explain what that means please?!

Oh, just that I hope that someone else is able to use it to cure hiccoughs, in themselves or in rabbits, as needed. It might even be useful for rodents.

Aw, my, now. (And the link works.)
Though our rabbit doesn’t just want cuddles. He’s also rather insistent about getting raisins.
