Big Bump

Ruby looks like she needs a good hair cut. Not the most flattering picture but you can just about see her bump. Her new rug (yes, she's already managed to rip it) is getting a bit snug and the straps are nearly fully extended!

Considering her mane is so long, her coat is looking great. Although she hasn't been clipped this winter, it's very short and fine and really really shiny (her thoroughbred ancestry coming out no doubt!) Unfortunately the pictures don't show what a wonderful colour she is.

This one shows the bump a bit better . She seems to be very contented at the moment. Didn't make the usual fuss when I moved her rug. She's still quite pushy though and needed a dig in the chest to make her move back to give me space to get in. She was determined to escape. She seems to be happier now she's in a big shed rather than her normal loose box. It means that she only has Jack to contend with in the next-door pen rather than rabbit's friends and relations invading her space to tack up outside her loose box (which she hated).

Rabbit's friends and relations - a reference to Winnie the Pooh. When Pooh got stuck in the rabbit hole, rabbit's friends and relations (they were all sorts of forest creatures, not just rabbits) helped to pull him out. In this context it means everyone. Every man and his dog.
