The Hair of the Hare

Having a bunch of animals leads to a great deal of animal-related chores. To be honest, Matt takes care of most of them, mostly because he is more patient and detail-oriented. One of those chores is firminating the rabbits. Firminating rabbits can be tricky because you have to settle the rabbit down in your lap or on a table, then run the firminator (a fur comb) over the rabbit to remove loose clumps of fur  Sometimes the rabbits find it soothing, but other times, they are very squirmy. Matt has perfected it so that both of our rabbits tolerate it grudgingly.

Whoopi usually does not shed nearly as much as Gussie. Gussie is a bulk fur producer. Sometimes Matt will hold a ball of Gussie's fur that is larger than Gussie is. Crasy! Anna has said in the past that she should spin Gussie's fur in order to make a sweater. Well, as you can see by the picture, Gussie is ready to produce a sweater's worth of fur!
