#FloofHistory Part 1

Once upon a time (Jan. 31/22), a famed pig named Mr Bumble (@TeamBumble) began a new wheek with a magnificent display of #TurboPantaloons, shouting “It’s a brand new wheeeeeeeeeeek” and posting the below video.

@ADailyViolet exclaimed, “So fast! We may have to make you an honorary bun!” Footage was submitted to Skye for review, who gave formal assent. And so he was inducted as an #HonoraryBun, part of the esteemed #OrderOfTheShortEars⚔️

(Thread continues below!)

#FloofHistory Part 2

The brave hearted Felix 🌈 then demonstrated his mastery of strength and agility.

Felix🌈 was laser focused on his prey, and took his balancing skills to a new level while demonstrating his elite t-Rex skills! 🥕🦖

The prey - a carrot and bun-favoured snac - in combination with skilled balancing on his #NonFloofyThumpers earned him a place at the #RoundSaladTable, and so he was inducted as an #HonoraryBun, as part of the #OrderOfTheShortEars. ⚔️

#FloofHistory Part 3

Not to be outdone, the dashing and hard working engineer (in the foreground!) of the (now retired) Felix & Oscar Railroad (F&O Railroad for short!) demonstrated his elite 🦖 skills on his #Thumperloons (bunny thumpers and piggy pantaloons merged!).

Now retired from conductor duties, Oscar @felixandoscar1 continues to live his best peeg life! ❤️

(&every Friday we pay tribute to his caboose buddy Felix! 🌈 #FelixFriday)

#FloofHistory Part 4

Following Oscar’s induction, a spirited little piggie named Hershey 🌈 astonished everyone with his spirited bunny hops incorporated into his #HersheyStroll. In this video Snowball @callietobysnowball makes a cameo!

Oscar nominated Hershey 🌈, and he was quickly inducted into the #OrderOfTheShortEars, taking his rightful place at the round (salad) table.

#FloofHistory Part 5

Shortly thereafter, Neville @Neville_dinah astounded the floof community with some of the most exuberant and speedy hops ever seen in the below video footage (I apologize for the video quality!😉). Dinah, his dancing partner, is also seen in this video.

After a quick review of the authenticity of the video, Neville was swiftly inducted into the #OrderOfTheShortEars as an #HonoraryBun.

#FloofHistory Part 6 (first part)

Not to be outdone, and already demonstrating #BunEnergy with her swiftness in the last video, two more compelling videos were provided to the review board. The first included Dinah’s head twisties, which certainly resemble the head twist before a bunny binky!

@Neville_dinah

#FloofHistory Part 6 (second part of two)

In a second video, Dinah displayed the most exceptional grooming of her front feet, very bunlike indeed! (Neville rudely interrupts her mani in the below video 😂)

And so Dinah was inducted into the #OrderOfTheShortEars in a formal ceremony, and joined her rightful place at the round (salad) table.

#FloofHistory ~An Interlude~ (Part 7 to be continued tomorrow)

Discussion of #OrderOfTheShortEars and their remarkable bun-like feats would not be complete without this masterful demonstration of a slow motion “footflick”, as demonstrated in this classic footage by Mr Bumble @TeamBumble!

#FloofHistory Part 7

A shocking event occurred a short time after Dinah’s induction. Barley @TuftyPiggies presented a #GoldenBearBum in a pose resembling a bun flop! His glazed eye and ample behind sealed the deal, and dear Barley was inducted into the #OrderOfTheShortEars in short order, joining his comrades proudly! ⚔️

#FloofHistory Part 8

Immediately after Barley’s induction, a prominent Monty Bum (Barley’s companion!) was presented for consideration as well. Following deeper examination of both height and spread, Monty’s behind was determined to have the ample roundness of a classic #BunnyButt.

Monty’s (@TuftyPiggies)nomination was accepted, and he was swiftly welcomed into the #OrderOfTheShortEars. 🤗💓

#FloofHistory (An interlude before Part 9 tomorrow)

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention dear Monty’s strolls and bunny hops, shown shortly after his induction into the #OrderOfTheShortEars!

He loves exploring! ❤️ @TuftyPiggies

#FloofHistory Part 9

For those new to floof legends, today’s brief history lesson may surprise and delight!

The next inductee was a floof, but not of the piggie variety! Princess Hari, aka Haricot Vert (Green Bean) was nominated for being a friend to many floofs, even a sugar glider! This kitty loves her fruits and salad- especially kale and spinach.

And so dear Hari (after an ear measurement to ensure her ears were short enough!) was inducted, and joined her pals at the round salad table.⚔️🛡️❤️

#FloofHistory Part 10

Our most recent #OrderOfTheShortEars Inductee was a dear fluffy headed piggie named Petal 🌈! @PetalthePeeg

Petal 🌈 was nominated posthumously by @TuftyPiggies, with a laundry list of amazing bun qualities! These included a floofy bottom, a bun-esque creativity, loafability, and - get this - even an ability to time travel through a portal! Petal was inducted into the #OrderOfTheShortEars, where floofy friends sit heart to heart at the round salad table. ⚔️❤️❤️❤️

#FloofHistory (Epilogue)

⚔️ 🐉 🛡️

And thus concludes our brief floof history of the #HonoraryBuns who are part of the esteemed and much beloved #OrderOfTheShortEars.

Their bravery and bunheartedness continue to inspire to this day, and…

Erm, wait, what’s this?

What has just arrived at my feet….?

(To be continued)

#FloofBreakingNews I

Skye opens the first scroll… tastes the scroll… then studies the paper. It appears to be… a nomination! *gasp*

(To be continued)

#FloofBreakingNews 🚨 II

It has been brought to our attention that there is a piggy who has what appears to be a #BunnyBooper…. 😯

#FloofBreakingNews III

This nominated piggie for the #OrderOfTheShortEars with the #BunnyBooper also has been known to participate in *extreme* haysnorkelling..
🌾🤿 🌾

#FloofBreakingNews IV

The piggie with the #BunnyBooper and extreme #HaySnorkelling technique has been identified as none other than Ms Daisy!  

Ms Daisy, @DAISYLittleOne1 we have accepted the nomination and are weighing the merits of the case…

#FloofBreakingNews V

The magnificent bun deeds speak for themselves!

Ms Daisy, it is my most heartfelt joy to induct you into the #OrderofTheShortEars ⚔️as an #HonourableBun. You will forever have a seat at the round (salad) table along with the legendary:

Mr Bumble
Monty
Barley
Hershey🌈
Felix🌈
Oscar
Neville🌈
Dinah
Hari
Petal🌈

Congratulations, my friend! 💓

@Satori that’s fantastic news! Congratulations!
@TuftyPiggies @DAISYLittleOne1 It was the happiest of news, and long long overdue 🥰! There is also one more scroll to open sometime, maybe next wheekend… 🤔🥰
@Satori I feel so honored and humbled. I hereby pledge my allegiance to the #orderoftheshortears⚔️.
@Satori congratulations Ms Daisy 🤎

@Satori how did Hoom miss this 😱. She has been so very distracted since she got Cocid and then took both #collegeHooms to school and has since been 'deep cleaning the house (whatever that might mean).

This is such an honor! I feel so humbled to be allowed to join such an illustrious group.

@DAISYLittleOne1 You’ve had such a rough go, it’s no wonder! Hopefully #CollegeHooms are nice and settled. The deep cleaning sounds very ambitious! 😮‍💨

Hee Hee, well we will definitely have to have the induction ceremony this wheekend, now that we’ve figured out who has that delightful bunny nose 😉🥰  💓💓

@Satori #CollegeHooms seem happy 😊, so that's good. Deep cleaning is a fun as you'd think it is 😒.

How are you all doing? There hasn't been all that much news on the fires anymore, but the attention-span of the US news media is that of a fly.

And YES to a ceremony! Always fun!

@DAISYLittleOne1 😂 No kidding!

Ohh thanks for asking! 💓We had a terrible smoke-filled few weeks ending after Labour Day. ..And yet there was no uproar. I guess being trapped inside on the last summer long weekend because of toxic air is the norm now! 🫠😮‍💨

Now they’re saying some of the fires will continue through the winter. 😵Thankfully our city is still quite safe, but the lack of clean air, blue skies and sun really gets you down sometimes.

🤣 So true about the news! ❤️

@Satori that is sooooooo sad 😔. Just glad you are all safe.

Until Winter? Is there nothing they can do to get the fires under control? Or is it better long term for them to burn and clear out the underbrush to help against future fires? Or what is the thinking here?

@DAISYLittleOne1 Yeah! Today we have good air quality and blue sky and it is such a rare joy! Skye is out and has been enjoying the air, too. (Current pic below!)

They’re uncontrolled, unfortunately, and just raging! 😖 They’re talking about putting together a national firefighting force as the Canadian forces can’t be always tied up like this…!

@Satori Climat change sucks and it sucks even more that American is not all in with fighting it.
@DAISYLittleOne1 So true! We have our (ahem) issues here too. In my experience working in govt (sob) long term issues just don’t get addressed, it’s always about getting elected for the next short (here it’s four year) term. The system doesn’t reward long term (or visionary) thinking!
@DAISYLittleOne1 And this is just the first one of two scrolls! Bunmum sure knows how to draw out the suspense…
@Satori @TuftyPiggies
Petal. Quite the accomplishments. What a girl 💘😘💘😘
@Satori @TuftyPiggies it was a proud moment for Petal #OrderOfTheShortEars and I'm sure she is telling everyone over the bridge🌈 about it ❤
@PetalthePeeg @TuftyPiggies No question she is! 🥰❤️ I have her furry little head saved on my phone and every time I come across her I break into a big smile! 🥰❤️
@Satori @TuftyPiggies
Hoomans did a bunny hop dance in ancient days. Hoomans are silly 🤣🤣🤣🐇🐇
@JudyOlo @TuftyPiggies Ohhh yes! I did this dance, too, I had forgotten about it! 🤣🐇🐇🐇💕
@Satori aw thank you for g sharing this! We’re loving the floofhistory posts! 🥰😍
@TuftyPiggies Aww it’s been such a joy to revisit! 🥰 And can hardly wait to see who else comes into the fold in the future! 🥰

@JudyOlo @TuftyPiggies Yes!! 🥰 🎶
My Mom used to sing that song to me when she was pulling off my winter boots when I was 2-3 years old 😂❤️
@Satori @TuftyPiggies
Showing my age 🤣 but the 70s had some great music. It was fun.
