Toenails and Tinsel

I went to my doctor today to have my toe nails trimmed. It didn't hurt but I shivered my back legs a bit just to show them I wasn't a pushover. One of my toes sticks right out at the side but it doesn't matter. I can still design cardboard boxes.
There was a huge rabbit there at the same time as me. Pity I forgot to take my camera. She just fitted in her carrier. Her head touched one end and her scut the other. It was difficult to believe she was all rabbit. Some of her could have been deer. Her family said she lives in the garden mainly and comes to her bed at the same time every night even when she hasn't been called. What a show off.
My doctor said I was very fit and and after squidging my middle put me back in my basket. He said dwarf bunnies can live longer than the larger breeds. So there. He looked a bit tired I thought. He'd had a very busy day operating on cats and rabbits which are his speciality. I'm glad I picked a specialist.
I huffed when I got home but nobody took any notice. Sometimes I wish I could talk properly to let them know I don't like going to the vet. If I get enough practice I might be able to do that so I'm going to start with a bit of stage work, just going backwards and forwards through the curtain, then I'll go on to a bit of Shakespeare.

A busy day

Visitors again today, just when I was busily working on my exhibition. I'd got as far as arranging my two boxes as well as doing some extra frilling around my morning nap bed. Getting the notice fixed to the door was a bit difficult but with help we managed.







While J put the kettle on I took Gillean outside to show her my herb patch. I could tell she was impressed with my scrapes because she chatted to me for ages until J came out with the tea-pot and cups and saucers. Once they were settled I wasn't needed anymore so I hopped it.
Suddenly there was a bit of a commotion outside. J shouted to M that I had vanished and was I with him because nobody could find me in the garden. They all got into a tizzy until J checked the time and asked if I had gone in to watch the news. M came to look and found me. For some reason this made Gillean laugh a lot. What she found funny about me going in to watch the news I can't guess. I do it every day at the same time and was sitting patiently in my usual place waiting for someone to switch on the TV. Nothing funny about that .


Humans are an odd lot.
