Just in Time for Easter....

Yesterday was a day full of errands. Got a new 'orthopedic' bed for Maggie. Simply put, it's eggshell foam wrapped in a fuzzy liner... how a brand company can consider that orthopedic, the world may never know. In theory, it should feel better for her to lay on instead of the floor... but... well... neurotic dog is terrified of it and lays next to it. We've tried convincing her to get on the bed using treats with limited success.

Stuffed hedgehog #3 came home and upon introduction received a face-lift (kid you not, Junior had the little bugger fo 5 minutes and managed to rip its nose off). Stuffed animals don't need noses anyway, right?

And, the highlight of yesterday, we got the rabbits! They're both about 1 year old jersey wooly rabbits. I'm definitely in love with these two. Since they're wooler rabbits, we figured what better names than Knit (the sable buck) and Purl (the pointed white doe).

I have a lot to learn about lagomorphs. They've settled in and have survived their first grooming, manicures and pedicures. I'm uncertain of appropriate length for rabbit nails, but I'm sure that the talons they came with are on the long side.
From previous experiences with rabbits, these guys are extremely easy to work with. I remember the two we had when growing up-- Oreo and "Bunnicula" (for the life of me, I can't remember the actual name of the second rabbit-- only that we called it "Bunnicula"). They weren't friendly and because of that, I never really had positive rabbit experiences (c'mon, when you have to put work gloves on to even attempt to handle them, as a kid, it isn't fun). Here's hoping that Knit and Purl will lead to a 'hoppier' experience.
