Captain’s Log – Colonizing

At the risk of oversaturating the collective sense of humor with more bunny stories, here she goes again…

I’m adding to the herd. Are bunnies a herd? Let me look that up…nope, a colony or a nest. A litter if they’re little babies. At any rate, there will be more bunnies.

The Super Bowl litter was a bit of an accident – I didn’t think it actually worked but turns out Jane Russell liked Cary Grant just fine and we got the eight babies who have been joining me on my desk lately.

Then I tried again – providing candlelight and Chopin for Delilah and Cary Grant along with a re-try for Jane Russell and Humphrey Bogart. Cleary the Jane and Humphrey date was unnecessary, the seeds were already planted, however, Delilah has been pulling out all her hair to make a nest and is due for the stork on the 9^th. We’ll see if she makes it that long – that girl is ROUND.

In addition… a friend of a friend is moving from Reno to Elko and thinning her herd. Colony. She is leaving behind, at my house, four lovely angora bunnies. I’m inheriting these new bunnies and all their accessories and traipsing off to Reno on Sunday (the day the new litter of babies is due) to gather them and all their accoutrement. Using that term here instead of accessory, because it fits these new bunnies more accurately – they are French Angora. Truly Fancy Bunnies.

These lovely French Angora will be strictly for fiber for yarn spinning. We will not be having date night among the French. Neither will there be philandering between the Fancy French Angora and the Right Propper English Angora. We are not the melting pot here. Rachel’s Bunny Ranch will only produce tassel eared, Propper English Angora. Or so we think.

Just when you think there are no more bunny stories, we have a whole new litter of them on the way… just like these rabbits. And while we wait for babies, and Fancy French bunnies, we’ll be right here…

…Keeping you Posted,
