Blue gets a haircut

Things are a little slow in the rabbit department so I thought I would share with you some pictures of Blue, a Komondor, getting a haircut.  Blue has been featured on my blog before getting a haircut after being rescued from a bad situation.  After 3 years of good living and careful crafting of dread locks which are a trademark of Komondors, Blue's new and better owner decided he should have a haircut to help his bad hips.  These dread locks weigh a lot so it is a good idea for the comfort of the dog.

Blue is a much happier dog with an outgoing personality.  The dread locks weighed 15 lbs! 

Reign is another Komondor who has also been featured on my blog.  He is Blue's littermate brother and a very winning Komondor in the dog shows.  Sadly, Reign passed away earlier this week.  He was bred  and owned by Jill who helping me out with this shave down.  It was nice she could spend some time with Blue who is not unlike his very gentle brother.

Bye, bye birdies

This is the last photo of the Bluebirds before they flew the coup.  Hope to see them all again next year.

National Mutt Day

Depending on whose calendar you are consulting, today is National Mutt Day.  Some say today, some say December 2 but I am willing to compromise and celebrate it BOTH days!  Here are two very special mutts celebrating their mixed breed heritage.

Angus got a special Mutt Day haircut.  Doesn't he look stunning? 

Looks like Wesson just found out it's HIS special day!  He is so very excited.

More Bluebirds!

We were gifted with another clutch of Bluebirds July 20- love, love, love the Bluebirds.

First arrival.

Early bird gets the worm.

Day 2.  All have hatched.

Day 8, now you know why they call them Bluebirds:)

Delilah and Bunzilla's babies

Well, babies no more.  The 4 little ones have just turned 6 months old and are now considered seniors for the purpose of showing.  My, how time flies!  Now all I need is a show.

I feel so smart, I was able to incorporate their names in the photos.  Doesn't take much to excite me;)

Rabbit collage

It only took me 2 hours but I was feeling a little creative yesterday afternoon and made this collage of the recently turned senior buns.  Photo Shop Editor is a complex program for this mediocre computer person! 

I will reveal their true identities in another post.

Sweetpea yarn

It's been a while but not much has been noteworthy in regards to rabbits or fiber due to the heat and peak season at the boarding kennel.  That's not a bad thing, just a busy thing!  I surprised myself with having enough free time to spin a few ounces of Sweetpea's fiber.  It seems to take forever to get enough off of her to be able to ply but it's worth it when it's all done.  She's an old girl now, north of 7 years old, so I can't expect a lot of fiber.  This will always be my favorite natural color to spin, I don't feel compelled to dye it as it is lovely the way it is. 

I hope to make it to the Warren County fair this week.  Perhaps I will have some photos to post later on.
