The Search for the Missing Cookies
One day, the Blond Duck decided she wanted a cookie.
This was not unusual. The Blond Duck loved cookies.
Only this time, when she went to the cookie jar, there wasn’t a cookie to be found. Not even a crumb, a speck, a tiny nibble.
It was all too clear what had occured.
The Cookie-Stealing Bunny had struck again.
“I’ve got two solutions,” the Blond Duck mused to herself. “I can make more cookies, or I can track the Cookie-Stealing Bunny down and make him return all the stolen cookies.”
As much as the Blond Duck loved to bake, she loved justice even more.
So armed with a box of Girl Scout cookies for bait, she set off to find the Cookie-Stealing Bunny.
“I certainly don’t know where he is,” Queen Bitty sniffed. “But when you find him, tell him to beware. He stole my peanut butter puppy cookies!”
“I don’t know where he is,” Bear said, wuffling in sorrow. “But he stole my last Pupperoni! Wuffle, wuffle, wuffle.”
“I haven’t seen the Cookie-Stealing Bunny,” the Love Pig pondered. “But if I find him, I’ll shoot him with an arrow for you. That bunny has got to love something other than cookies.”
Not even the Glitter Chicks had seen him. “He won’t come around here no more, no more,” the first chick sang. “After he stole our cookies, we threatened him with the door, door, door,” sang the second one. “Now he’s gone, gone, gone,” added the third.
“Oooh, the Cookie Stealing Bunny is on my bad list,” snarled Penelope the Pig. “He stole my entire box of Oreos! The whole box!”
And we all know a pig without Oreos is not a happy pig.
“We find the Cookie Stealing Bunny to be the rudest bunny in the Pond,” declared the Pink Penguins. “For he stole our delicious Pink Seaweed Sparkle cookies.”
Not wanting to ponder what a Pink Seaweed Sparkle Cookie was, the Blond Duck moved on to Miss Frizzle and the Yellow Chicken.
“I knew that bunny was no good,” Miss Frizzle clucked. “No sir. He was bad from the moment I laid eyes on him.”
“Did you know he once stole my birthday cookies?” squawked the Yellow Chicken. “I didn’t even get a nibble!”
The Blond Duck knew that the Cookie Stealing Bunny had to be somewhere in the Pond. “Where does one go to hide away and sneak desserts?” she pondered aloud. “Of course! The back of the pantry!”
And sure enough, perched on a pile of cookies with a great extended belly and crumbs smeared around his whiskers lay the Cookie-Stealing Bunny. He glanced up at the Blond Duck and groaned.
“I was going to ask for my cookies back,” she said, studying him. “But you look like you’ve been punished enough. Do you promise you’ll stop stealing cookies? And ask nicely?”
The Cookie-Stealing Bunny nodded, holding up his paws.
“Good,” the Blond Duck replied. “Now, I’m going to go bake some cookies. You may have some, if you promise to ask and not steal them.”
The Cookie Stealing Bunny bobbed his head up and down, hiding a smile as the Blond Duck left.
After all, she didn’t see he had crossed his toes.
He was the Cookie Stealing Bunny after all. And now, he had more cookies to steal….
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have a new Pet Shop story and Thursday, a new delicious recipe! Stay tuned!

LOL–You are so dang cute!!

“And we all know a pig without Oreos is not a happy pig.”
Hah! Truer words were never spoken
This is why we prefer monkeys, though: they’re happy with banana bread.

Mmmmmm….Girl Scout cookies. I can’t wait until I get mine from my niece!!
March 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 am
Mmm…Girl Scout cookies. As much as I love them (there are 10 boxes in my pantry right now) I still prefer homemade! I hope you find your cookies soon!
March 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 am
That pesky little cookie stealing bunny! Hopefully he learns his lesson or a big tummy ache will be in his future
March 2nd, 2010 at 7:38 am
Oh my, girl scout cookies. I WISH we had those over here x
March 2nd, 2010 at 7:47 am
I am just waiting for my boxes of Girl Scout cookies to arrive!
March 2nd, 2010 at 7:49 am
What a cute bunny! I want one. Cute stuff around your house too!
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:16 am
Well, you can’t expect the cookie stealing bunny to change his ways overnight.
A hint for chopping onions should your husband ever be indisposed: Make sure they are cold when you chop them. Then make sure you sharpen your knife first. The sharper your knife, the more your onion fibers will be cut rather than crushed and thus not spill so much of their toxic gasses. If all else fails, light a candle or two and put on goggles.
I’ve been WAY behind in readin posts these past few days. Super busy all of the time. I have so many stories to catch up with now!
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:17 am
Ugh, what a pain! Cookie Stealing Bunny doesn’t realize how disappointing it is to go for a cookie and then not have any there. Yeesh!
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:19 am
SAMOAS!! Sigh, my boss gave me a box of samoas last week, except I’m trying to eat healthy (bridesmaid dress fitting) so they’ve been sitting on my couch taunting me. Oh, those samoas. They’re evil.
March 2nd, 2010 at 9:12 am
Ah, he crossed his toes! The Cookie-Stealing Bunny is truly the most clever critter on the planet!!
March 2nd, 2010 at 9:26 am
Stealing cookies is a serious offense in my house:-)
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 am
I wish a cookie stealing bunny lived in my house and was saving me from myself right now. Ah ha ha
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 am
A cookie stealing Bunny! I would never have thought of that!
Love all your animals though!
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 am
Love your stories… and your a SITS girl too! Exciting.
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:46 am
That bunny!!! Mmmm cookies.
I must admit I would eat that Girl Scout cookie too.
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 am
Duckie wouldn’t be so foolish as to believe the Cookie Stealing Bunny has changed his ways…
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 am
You really taught him a thing or two

March 2nd, 2010 at 11:29 am

Ssshhh, don’t tell anyone.

I think the cookie bunny has been visiting my house, ’cause there is not a cookie in sight!! Does he have a brother?
March 2nd, 2010 at 12:24 pm
My wife eats the desserts I fix, after I’ve gone to sleep…next morning a half a pan of brownies are gone!
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Stealing cookies? Sounds like me
Nice pictures!
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:34 pm
I am secretly glad the cookie stealing bunny crossed his toes.
March 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm
That bunny is seriously cute!
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:07 pm

March 2nd, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Oh, little cute bunny … you don’t have to steal them from her, just ask nicely and politely next time, k?
March 2nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
The Girl Scout cookie in that pic has replaced thin mints as my all-time fav Girl Scout cookie!
The glitter chicks are adorable!
March 2nd, 2010 at 4:42 pm

It wasn’t me that stole the cookies I promise-it was that naughty cookie stealing bunny!
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Can’t blame that bunny at all! Cookies make the world go ’round
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:20 pm
So that’s what happened to the frozen pinwheel cookie dough I had stashed in the freezer. I do hope the Cookie Stealing Bunny shared with the Blond Duck:) and everyone else at the Pond. What kind of cookies did the Blond Duck bake, I wonder…
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 pm
At least he’s cute!

are you quite sure that the cookie bunny isn’t a little gal from the Frozen Tundra?! because I think yes!
ps- can you pop me an email on your hair- I don’t know if you dye it or not and I am just dying (pun intended!) to have locks like yours!
