Top Ten Things I Hate About Being In Bunnies
Anyone who knows anything about me knows I love my Holland lops. I love going to shows, seeing new babies, spending time in the barn, seeing rabbit friends. But there are a few chioce things I really hate about it. Here's my top ten list:
#10 Those tiny thorns that pop up in hay from time to time that lodge in your skin and are hard to see, let alone get out; oh heck, and those large thorns that you can see and get stuck by anyway
#9 Having to go outside everyday, whether it's 101 or sub-freezing; and the worse the weather, the more often I have to go out there
#8 Having to hear folks who think they are oh-so-original making comments about how good rabbit stew is or about how rabbit just breed themselves
#7 Flies who must think I'm the tastiest part of their food chain
#6 Does I want to breed who have their tailed nailed down so tight, you'd think the were superglued
#5 Best does that have the smallest litters or no litters at all; if doe produces butt ugly babies, she'll have 7 on her first litter, though
#4 Molting seems to occur most frequently just before the shows I look forward to the most and fur condition peaks during the three weeks I don't have shows
#3 Always looking like I just lost a wrestling match with Edward Scissorhands
#2 Rabbit poop is not self-scooping
#1 Getting rabbit fur in my mouth that I can't seem to get out, or worse, getting more rabbit fur in my mouth when I try to get the first rabbit fur out
Glad to get that off my chest! Keep your bunnies cool, your fans brushed, and the flies at bay. I'll be at the Shelby show this weekend, but I'll be back at the keyboard on Monday.

Loved your article about the show. I had already planned to add one more thing to your top 10 here: going to an all night show, getting 2 hours sleep, driving another 3 hours, and then still having to unload rabbits when you get home. Then you wonder, why do I do it, but a few days later, you're preparing for the next show.
