Mabel has suffered from two bouts of stasis within the past week - one lasted a whole day, thankfully ending just before bed time, and today she recovered within an hour of being dosed with the medicines, as her unwellness was spotted early.
These problems are undoubtedly linked to her current heavy moult, so this evening I tackled her with the Zoom Groom brush, as she was on the table for her evening meds. She was surprisingly tolerant, even grinding with apparent pleasure, but back on the floor gave an almighty cross thump, followed by a look of extreme disapproval. Dijon's turn tomorrow...
Hetty the vacuum cleaner made short work of the grey covering on carpet, towel, tablecloth, me... and tomorrow I'll empty it into the garden. The wildlife here makes good use of our bunny fluff - several birds were spotted collecting it at nesting time, and recently I discovered a bumble bee nest inside a clump of bunny fur and hay!
And talking of nesting, Mabel spent a couple of hours yesterday morning collecting huge mouthfuls of hay, and trying to collect any other materials, including the carpet. Fortunately this nesting phase didn't last for long, as poor Dijon was very bemused.
In our house it is usually Billy who builds the nests. Lily is less interested. She clearly seems to suggest it's a man's duty to take care of domestic arrangements......
