Poof!

Posted on

The bunnies are shedding again. Maybe the weather is confusing them? I can’t think of any other good reason to shed in the middle of winter. Every morning for the last week or two, I’ve been spending five minutes or so brushing Hop and Wibble. In the morning, when they are totally distracted by their kibble, is the only time I can get these two to stand still to be brushed. Carla, however, lets me brush her much more easily, so I usually go after her in the evening. Right now, Wibble is the worst. If you blow a puff of air at him, a cloud floats up off his back and flies away. Hop seems to have started her shedding up by her shoulders and is working her way back. It looks like she is wearing an inverted saddle because she is shorter where the fur has already left.

Carla is still definitely the most friendly of our bunnies, and when it’s her turn to be out and about she often hops up on the couch for a snuggle. Recently she got to snuggle with Larry, who seemed a bit confused.

In other furry creature news, Buddy and Little Kitty seem to be doing better since we moved to the new place. They don’t fight nearly as much, LK doesn’t hide anymore, and the pee presents have slowed down. (Alas, they still do arrive.) Here’s a picture of Buddy snuggling in a box of paper recycling.

It’s so much harder to recycle here without ye old curbside recycling pick up. Glass (clear only!), plastic, and metal go a few miles over to Smith’s but paper has to go to work with me. There is a place in Floyd that collects cardboard, and Smith’s will take newspaper, but what about all that junk mail? Well, I guess there is the recycle drop off place in Floyd, but it never seems to be open when we aren’t at work or asleep. I guess most folks out here either just trash the paper or burn it.
