Operation Rabbit Pedicure

Boy, am I glad that today is over. I was close to a nervous breakdown earlier, when my humans decided to sit on me while clipping the rabbits' nails. I got covered in tickly fur and nail clippings, and then they cleaned out some "scent gland folds", as they call them, and chucked the smelly dirt all over my private space. Yuck! How humiliating.

And if that wasn't enough, Luna, that big white bundle of neverending fluff production, managed to escape with one of her mad stunts. She was trying to hide under my planks, and she got sooooooo close to one of my legs. I was terrified that she'd start to nibble it. But then she found something more interesting to eat. My humans caught her again rather quickly, but she was quite upset. An hour later she was munching grass again, though.

My garden is looking splendid. The daylilies have started to produce masses of flowers, and my FH's new rose is also exploding with colour. There is a new vegetable patch inside what used to be an old sandbox, with some courgette and kohlrabi plants for now, and some tomatoes all around it. Let's hope the squirrels will stay away from the plants this time and not destroy them again.

Talking of squirrels, this week one of them proved once again that they are a bunch of thieves. My FH had run a string along the fence, for her passionflower plant to grow along on. And for some reason the cheeky squirrel thought it could come in useful and nibbled it off bit by bit until it was all gone. I have heard of copper wire and lead piping being stolen, but garden string?? That's a new one. We got photos as proof of the crime:

My FH is looking up squirrel recipes as we speak......
