A Long Time

It's been a long since posting here, finally some challenges and distractions have moved on, not to mention I finally found my sign in information so I expect to post more often.

This time of the year we humans often wish to treat our house buns with extra greens, some gathered from the yard, field or local produce stand. To avoid any errors, I'd like to share this great link with you.

Toxic Plants


I learned about this site from my colleagues the bunny people who post on Ravelry
and when I refresh my upload pictures skills, I share some fiber work where the bunny has contributed much to the creative process; not only does her fur fill in the missed stitches and holes of knitted socks but great handfuls of molt decorate some woven rugs and wall hangings.

The Bunny Joy List

First on my list of the joy of living with a house rabbit is our bun is a wonderful knitting companion.

For winter I'd moved a wood adirondack chair into the kitchen so 'The Polkster' oops Her Royal Highness the Empress Polka- (HRHEP) and I could bond comfortably. As cold weather settled into this draughty room of the house, the chair was piled with cushions and old woolen sweaters to provide a comfortable nest. And there we'd bond and knit.

Little did I know savvy human that I am that when thinking humans are not looking HRHEP uses the chair as a jumping off point to explore the top of her crate, the kitchen counters and most recently the angle of the chair back for a precipitous self-propelled toboggan ride.

Although joy #1 for the human is knitting companionship and joy #1 for the rabbit is gymnastics; I've been concerned the bun will injure herself. So enter the trusty x-pen! There a several makes and models of x-pens out there appropriate for rabbits and in a range of prices. We ordered ours (actually two) from RabbitStop.com Checking the website today I noted the xpen (playpen) is on sale- perhaps joy #1 for the person thinking of getting a rabbit-- for us the joy has passed.

So what's your joy #1?
