An Indoor Bunny Nursery

Here is a photo of an indoor nursery for bunnies.  Each cage houses three bunnies, it has a little bed lined with knitted Angora bedding material, clean towels line the cage floor to prevent the bunnies' little feet from getting hurt.  There is a water bottle and a crock feeder in each cage.  Every morning the bunnies are taken to their mother to be nursed.   Bunnies raised this way are very comfortable with people and are used to all sort of noises in a normal household.

Squirrel Appreciation Day 1/21/2012

Betty says,

On my way to the Santa Rosa show, I heard on the radio that it was the "Squirrel Appreciation Day" that day;  then the announcer said, "Take a squirrel to lunch".     I  thought it was a joke.

   

 I was too curious, I googled it.

Guess what, January 21, 2012 was really the "Squirrel Appreciation Day"!   There was even a photo competition for the Squirrel Appreciation Day.

There are 450 photos in the contest, some are very cute but some are not that great.   I sure have quite a bit of nice squirrel pictures, I guess I'm too late to enter the photo contest. 


Here is a photo taken just last week, these two are in the process of making more little squirrels in our yard.  Whether they are appreciated or not, they are here to stay.
