LOL!<BR/><BR/>BlueGate - thanks for the knitting encouragement. I still feel like such a newbie.<BR/><BR/>Nancy K - Perfectionist? Moi? Naww..... (did that sound convincing to you? Me neither!)<BR/><BR/>GirlwithaSword - I'm enjoying the knitting when I don't drop stitches!<BR/><BR/>Joanna - BB's normal daily routine is to get a papaya treat in the morning, munch on alfalfa/timothy/pellets while I am at work and school, and then he gets free run-around time in the evening, during which he tries his best to get into trouble. After run-around time, he gets a cuddle, and also a grooming session once a week. Then he sleeps, like me!<BR/><BR/>And to those who asked...we are working on the litter training of Butterscotch!Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-33729802127763174212009-02-15T22:15:00.000-04:002009-02-15T22:15:00.000-04:00Aww, what a cute bunny.

Is it easy to have a house bunny??? <BR/><BR/>Your spinning is coming along and I'm impressed you are doing so well with the drop spindle.
