oh yea. Mmmh bugs seems to be a protective daddy. I’ll see they sure do love each other. I wonder if it could be fluffys though??
Bunnies aren’t monogamous I don’t think. Males often see young as not theirs, so they’re not protective. He’s more likely protecting his chance to be the one to mate with her, unaware that she’s probably pregnant.

I am not on this thread nearly enough. Please accept my apologies in the form of my Pomeranian in the snow today.

@Ricky Vapes You are doing such an amazing job with your bunnies. I have to tell you how I wish I could do the same for the ones in our neighborhood. It is great to know I’m not the only person who would do such a thing, if possible. :)

Well Mabye so but fluffy hasn’t Been with sassy in a long time. I’ve kept
Them apart.

Bugs just loves sassy though and needs her. He buries his face in her behind when he gets scared and hides behind her haha. I can’t separate those two

Toby boy is having his expensive haircut tomorrow. I’m gonna invest in some clippers soon so I can shear him myself before he gets all matted up. Save me the 400 bucks. He should be okay when I bring him tomorrow muzzled up.

Let’s hope so anyways. This vet I’m never going to again they are the most expensive but we chose it because they knew him but now it’s all
New people I’ve never seen before. Bunch of yahoos. Leaving my dog there for over 3 hours then phoning me to come get him saying they can’t put a muzzle on him to give him a shot.

Bugs and sassy :)

I boarded up the window at the back so the cold breeze didn’t come through. They seem to like it and it’s warmer. Fluffy is inside in a kennel facing Stevie nicks. They are happy to get reacquainted:)

Hey Rickie! Toby's hair looks a lot like Ben's hair. Ben doesn't shed either. His hair just grows, so we have to take him to the beauty parlor(groomer) every 2 to 3 months. The groomer at our vet only charges $40.00 though. That includes his bath, ear cleaning, and nail trim. Raven does a really nice job too. I don't understand why the heck yours charges the equivalent of $306.00 US for a grooming. Gosh, even the most expensive groomer here is under $100.00. Maybe it's time to find a new groomer? That's a pretty excessive charge for a haircut.

Aw so cute. It’s because my dog is an a.s.s and turns into cujo when they try to clip him. He needs full anesthesia

Toby got clipped up today cost me 450 bucks but he won’t be matted up anymore.

I took him in the vet and lifted him up on the table and stayed with him as they gave him the shot to sedate him. He let out one growl when being poked with the needle and that was it. I held him in my arms as he went limp then passed him off to the doctors. He trusts me he just gets freaked when there’s nobody he knows around and turns really aggressive.

I’ll see Him when I get home he’s sure gonna be cold and will want to snuggle non stop with me and mom. At least he won’t be so uncomfortable with all that matted up fur. I got sassy a kennel to bring her inside so her babies survive since it’s cold enough to freeze their water in 10/20 minutes.

Ben is so cute
I’m so jealous :(

I wish my dog could go and get clipped up all cute like yours every few months ha. Instead he has to get sheared right down to where you see skin because I’m paying 400 plus dollars each time I want it to last as long as possible. He won’t let groomers touch him but I could do his body if I had clippers. I tried before and failed miserably because of all the mats in his fur . But if I do it before he gets to that state I think it could work. Then just do his face in sections giving him breaks.

I’ll post a picture of Toby shaved down when I get home .

Or get him used to a brush and do it while there is almost no hair. If you did it in brief, brushing. massage, brushing, quiet time with just you and him he might get used to it and like it and then you could keep the mats from coming back. Get him used to you messing with him and his fur.
