Three Bunnies Plus One

Have a look at Him, Studmuffin Extraordinaire!

I am Three Bunnies Yarn Co. because I have three angora bunnies; two girls and one boy. They live outside in rabbit condo's skillfully made by a master craftsman (my husband) and they are fenced in to prevent predators from entering their domain. It is a safe and secure way of life that allows my bunnies to be hardier stock.

I handle them daily: feeding watering grooming, etc... The girls are typically uninterested in me, but the male seems to enjoy my attention. You can imagine my surprise on Monday, when I went to feed them. The girls were making sounds like little piglets and they were all over me. I was thrilled! Finally, they too found me interesting!

And then it happened. It all became clear. Something white moved out of the corner of my eye. It was in bunnyville's fenced perimeter, so I could not imagine what it was. And then, quick as a rabbit, it hopped over to me, a Himalayan rabbit. Where he came from, you ask? I have absolutely no idea. But what is even more puzzling is how in the world he got into their impenetrable fenced enclosure! Nonetheless, their he was, and I say he because at the sight of him, my girls balistic behavior intensified ten-fold. Alas, their joy was not for me, it was for him.

And so he is called Him, my Three Bunnies Plus One, newest resident and lady killer.

Golden Retriever Yarns A Specialty

I have a charming client who loves her dog, Betsy, very much. Betsy is a completely obese golden retriever who is quite fond of the cute cookie jar on the counter that plays 'You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog' every time it is opened. Her entire body wags, not just the tail. She is that overweight. But utterly sweet and a special friend to be sure.

At any rate, it was posed to me if I thought Betsy's fur would make a pretty yarn. An emphatic "YES!" was of course my answer. A gallon sized zip lock bag full of hair later, I am proud to say that I now specialize in the most beautiful golden retriever yarn you've ever seen. What lovely sock yarn my charming client now has. So I say to you all, don't just dream of sheep leaping over a fence as you fall asleep, just lay back and imagine how your best friend can give you a wonderful addition to your yarn stash. What an amazing way to immortalize a true friend!
(NOTE: I apologize for the dark, fuzzy picture. It does not do the yarn justice! I am in no way even remotely good at photography.)
