I know you probably said, but I must have forgotten; how old are these bunnies? I warn people about Jersey Woolies: "They start losing their baby coats and growing in their junior coats at around eight weeks, and for about the next six weeks you will wonder why you wanted anything to do with them. Some seem to mat up within minutes of being brushed. The good ones will get over it; they have enough guard hairs in their coats that they simply don't mat except maybe a little "on the seat of their pants." The bad ones, though, have soft cottony coats, and for them, life is one long "bad hair day."

The bigger one is 4 months, i think the younger are maybe 8 weeks?

These two go in tomorrow to be spayed/neutered. The cat is one of the strays we’ve tamed down. He is such a friendly little thing. Sure wish I knew where he came from.

Good Morning Friends :hugs

Many thanks for your support during my mini-vent. All good again today and I remind myself that ‘my reaction is my responsibility’ :)

CB777 Gabbie is just too adorable! :love

Beautiful snow picture Capricorn!

We have one of these for throwing the ball for Jessie who is tennis ball obsessed! It works really well:

It is only predicted to get to 89.5F today, a slight reprieve ;) Plus, a 50% chance of some welcome showers and/or a tropical storm but I am not holding my breath.

That looks like a very nice toy

Our dog does not appreciate a bath either, but loves swimming in the ocean and playing with the water shooting out of the hose. But having to stand still and get all wet, scrubbed and rinsed - in her opinion, worst day EVER!

It's so hot outside today I can't do anything out there. I fed and watered the outside birds about 9am and I had to come in and put sunblock on or I would've been a red lobster! It's roasting and we don't have much shade at all, other than down near the storm water culvert where the mosquitoes hang out. We desperately need some rain as the culvert has stopped flowing and is very low so the poor eels are living in algae and stagnant grot. At least they can travel overland at night to find better water if they need to, but it might be a bit of a trip with this dry weather. It would be nice to have the water tanks topped up too. We have enough water for 3 dry months if we are careful, but often it can be dry right up until April/May.

The Gabby sure is a gorgeous pup!

And those rabbits are so cute and fluffy CF - do they need much grooming?

Probably causea bath is forced whereas a swim is free will, if they want to :p

I've actually been thinking of maybe soaping the dog up then sending him on a swim :lau

The ones i used to breed did not need much grooming but i suspect these will so i will be trimming certain areas. One has mats already, the lady said she groomed her but if so she did a poor job. I need some rabbits to start with but i will breed for less coat. I do not want angoras!

My cat gets so matted and won't let me brush her

I believe she said lionheads, which should shed out much of the body hair like mine have done. They don't require brushing either, but maybe hers are hairier than mine.

Sound hard to groom

Ha!:lol:These guys all showed up in late spring as little kittens and they look nothing alike. There was a 4th but he was killed by a coon. The other two are still semi wild.

They sell them here too, they are called Chuck It's but they probably have generic versions. They sell just the chuck it balls too. We actually bought gator some bigger like rubber ones but he doesnt really like balls :/ but they are a very nice toy
 
Here's the launcher on Chewy and Amazon

And here's the ball. It's called Chuck It Ultra ball and it is very durable. Gator loved his when he first got it and it survived being left outside, peed on, etc. It only got a little faded in 2 years. I need to find them again. But again, doesn't really like balls now. But it's great for Shepherds too

It can be hard to find the larger sizes but I think I got Gator a large or XL
