Bunnies at 4 1/2 weeks...the games begin!
The clowns have arrived! This is the prelude to Mom losing all patience; the time when all of the bunnies are mostly weaned; their curiosity is almost at peak and they can have human visitors.



This is the little guy still for sale. He is addicted to hogging the food bowl.
Eight to twelve year old children adore bunnies at this age if they have no fear of small creatures and can hold without squeezing. I am waiting for one of my FAVORITE wee customers to arrive on the 15th to play with the bunnies.

I have a 15 month old Golden Retriever who has become quite a handful. Penny requires daily 2 mile walks to keep her in-line. We are very fond of the show "The Dog Whisperer" and hang onto Cesar Milan's every word. (He is on from 6-7 every night on the National Geographic Channel). Cesar talks alot about how dogs "alpha" humans and this can get households into trouble. One of the things they do is to put themselves, or a paw, over another member, and while we think it is cute, it is a sign of dominance.

I think the bunnies have been taking notes:

Hi! Your bunnies are gorgeous!! I have a white angora that is expecting 1st week of June. I'm so excited. I'd love to buy your "food hog" but with bunnies having to cross the border... oh well.

I have baby bunny fever! I've been gazing at your pics while waiting for my girl, Destiny, to deliver her litter.

Hey, request for topic - How do you get your cages so CLEAN????? Mine seem to always be covering in a mixture of hay and hair. I scrape, scrub, TORCH, but can't seem to get it really clean!!!!

Paws on people can be a sign of dominance OR supplication (as in pawing adults to get fed. I try to keep a straight face when students tell me how their smart puppy learned to "shake" hands...)....but watch out for dominant/submissive dogs! Goldens are great at that. Sweetly manipulative! Don't forget... 7-18 months is the adolescent phase. She's still a teenager! Aren't you the LUCKY one. hehe

Yea, Penny is good at being passive/agressive. We have a hard time not laughing. I have never had a Golden quite this agreessive, though. We'll see how she is at two.

Will talk about cleaning cages tomorrow.
