Length Check

Flopper is 24" from the tip of his nose to his rump, when he's laying on his side. I wish I had measured him when I first got him so I could compare lengths.

Yesterday, while working at the Animal Shelter, I met a wonderful rabbit named Robin. She's listed as a mini rex, and has short ears, but she has the markings of an English Spot. So maybe she's a mutt. She is obese and needed a little butt bath, so I gave her a thorough beauty treatment, and then let her run around a small room. When I held her on my shoulder she really snuggled into me and seemed to like being pet there. What a sweetie! No, I'm not going to adopt her! But I do plan to pay her frequent visits. There's a buck named Ivan there also, with the same markings, but longer ears, so I think he may be a true English Spot. I'll check him out next.

Today I had a glorious reunion with all my horse friends at Giant Steps! I got to groom Mered and Shiloh, and then lead Shiloh around for a walk. I was deliriously happy! I can't wait for the program to get started in January!
