Meet the newest member of my family!
His name is Smudge for obvious reasons except for one thing, now at 4 months, he has lost his little black spot on his nose. Now he's pure white all over. RATS!!!! I loved that spot. Maybe a touch of Clairol? And if that isn't bad enough, hubby is calling him Hip Hop instead of Smudge now. When I first brought Smudge home, we waited a few days to see what his personality was like before giving him a name. Hubby wanted to call him Hip Hop and I wanted Smudge. Since he is MY bunny I win right??? And now this!
Anyway, Smudge is an English Angora that I originally purchased as a fiber bunny but when I held him for the first time and saw how gentle and sweet he was, well what can I say, he's my baby and such a joy to have around. I had so much to learn about English Angoras. I thought rabbits just stayed in their cages and didn't interact with humans that much happily Smudge taught me how very wrong I was.
