Bunny 101

On Sunday, Heather, Martha and I took "Caring for Bunnies" class with Nancy Bender of The Spinning Bunny, at the Fiber Studio. It was awesome! We were three of eleven ladies, twelve counting the Bunny! Learned lots of very useful info ranging from feeding, grooming, housing and mating to actually shearing, blending the raw fiber and spinning. What fun!! I can't wait to shear my Jacob sheep and blend her fiber with either Gracie or Bonnie. The fiber, thus yarn, will be phenomenal!
Martha and her, human girls, Sophie and Bella, visited today. They colored at the dining room table while Martha and I groomed the bunnies. Their first official "Shearing". I will ask my daughter to take pics...you have to see them...SO small with no fur! Bob was shocked when he saw HIS girls! Martha promised, the fur grows back so quickly and it's actually a relief for the bunnies to be shorn. I put an extra fleece blanket in their hutch, incase they are chilly tonight! It's the Mama in me.
Saturday, if all goes well this time, the sheep are being shorn...check back for that saga!
