sad losses ...

Bunny No No is no more :(
He died suddenly unexpectedly and in his sleep ...
I have one bag of combings from him - not enough to learn the skills I want to learn
but much more importantly I will miss him .. he had a great and happy heart

I hope he enjoyed being a coddled house bunny his last month of life! (He certainly appeared to enjoy it)

We also lost Coma Kitty (who is only on the cat blog I bet)

2009 continues to teach me about loss and grief ...
it could stop anytime

Bunny No No

is here now

YUP you heard me right our first livestock moved in today (forgive the bad picture - he wanted ON MY LAP!)

a three year old angora rabbit - who is a LIVING doll - within seconds of meeting me he happily let me pick him up and snuggled in for a good cuddle

when we got home he sat in my lap and let me gently tweak some of his matts (only a few and right behind his ears) out

His registered name is RM Bucky Boy and he has papers and everything but he is Bunny No No to us and will be forever as we swore up and down after dear Pongo died we wouldn't have any more bunnies - of course after she died I missed her gentle nature way too much to not have a bunny around - and our move to self sustance made me really think about breeds. When Bunny No No needed a great pet/wooller home things just fell into place :)
