I Finally Gave In

I’ve been unmoved by the wiles of the Trekking yarn siren. At least, that was the case until this past Saturday. She finally called my number. (Also, check out my kicky lounge pants from Anthropologie! They were given to me by a friend because she had too many pairs. Ohmygod, they are so comfy.)

I told B that sock yarn doesn’t count in the way of yarn purchases and he totally bought it. I think he bought it in an “I totally understand why” kind of way, but he’ll deny it if you ask him.

I have no plans for this yarn right now other than just petting it.

In the interspecies love arena, it might be time to get Sugar Ray fixed. I witnessed the most disturbing and funny, um, situation last night. Chloe led Sugar Ray to believe she wanted him in the biblical sense right there in the hallway on this very rug before gods and everyone in the apartment. As soon as he mounted her, she collapsed to the floor, rolled over and swatted him in the head. He’s been following her around the apartment ever since.

He’s totally her bitch.

I Have an Entourage

This morning while I was in the shower, my sister came in the bathroom to complete her morning routine.

Sis: All the animals come into the bathroom when you’re in the shower?

Me: I guess. Really?

Sis: Yeah.

Me: Huh.

Now granted, Bailey, my sister’s cat, has an open door policy. As in, no door shall remained closed in her presence. Chloe, unfortunately, has picked up on this and tried to implement her own open door policy. However, Bailey is, um, a big boned girl and has a little more force behind her door opening abilities (she pushes the door open by rearing up on her hind legs and then uses her forward momentum to push open the door with her front paws). Once the door is open, she’ll inspect the room to make sure it’s to her liking and then leaves.
Chloe’s attempts usually take 2 or 3 tries before she can get the door open – if she can get it open at all. Mostly she just lays in front of the closed door and scratches at the bottom of the door and mews pitifully until you open the door.Anyway, Chloe likes it in the bathroom when the window is open so she can get a glimpse of life on “the outside.”

I have no idea why there are scissors on the bathroom window ledge. Sometimes it’s better not to ask.

Sugar Ray, on the other hand, just hops around and hops right through any open door. Or will at least stick his head in if the door is ajar. He is possibly the cutest peeping tom ever.

I also learned this morning that he is a great fan of denim. Either that, or he is lacking something in his diet. This morning when I was in the hallway, he hopped up to my leg, sniffed my jeans and then tried to simultaneously climb up my leg while chewing on my jeans when he wasn’t licking my foot. He’s so lucky he’s so cute. And fluffy.

Go away paparazzi, I’m trying to eat.

In Your Eye

I am so cute it is painful. You want to pet me, but you cannot. I am like the Mango.

You, on the other hand are a freak. Stop taking pictures of me. I am no longer amused.

Seriously. You’re starting to scare me.

It only took six months, but I finally plucked up the courage to spin Sugar Ray’s wool. I started with the drop spindle and then wound it onto a bobbin and went at it for a little while last night. Because I am lazy, I’m picking through the bag of Sugar Ray’s wool and drafting as I spin. The resultant yarn is a little slubby in some place and a little fuzzy in others, but it’s angora. I do believe angora tends to be fuzzy anyway. I don’t care much for the slubs, so I’m trying to be a little better about that.

This picture does it no justice, but apparently I continuously think that I am immune to poor lighting. It is soft, it is beautiful and it is almost tweedy looking with the white and grey. I love Sugar Ray.

Sugar Ray, on the other hand, disapproves of me and the haircut I gave his head last night.

In his defense, he looks a lot like Beetlejuice after his head got shrunken but his body stayed the same.

Sugar Ray Needs a New Home

No, not as in I’m giving him up, as in he needs a nicer bunny pad. I’m thinking hutch. Actually, it was B who mentioned the hutch to me a couple months ago. I didn’t think it would necessary at the time. Now, though, as more and more things get added to SR’s current pad, his space is becoming more limited. Plus, he does love a good hidey hole to hang out in and the hutch I’m looking at has that. I’m thinking the large one, too, because it comes with more bells and whistles and who doesn’t love bells and whistles?

I’m thinking tax refund.

Also? I just bought The Ultralite spindle by Woodchuck so that maybe I’ll start spinning some of SR’s wool. Plus, he’s going to need another shaving soon. Bunny can grow some hair, y’all.

Shearing a Rabbit

I will admit this. I was kind of afraid to pluck Sugar Ray’s hair after he let loose his bowels on me that one time on the couch. Yes. ON THE COUCH. Anyway, I’d brush him from time to time, but he would get fidgety with me and I was a little concerned about a repeat bowel incident. It got to the point where his wool was so thick, dense and matted, no mere mortal brush could do more than groom the surface. It was time to go to an expert.

In steps my new hero, Aaron. He is a profesional dog groomer, and when I had a dog, I took my dog to him. Aaron is awesome. I e-mailed him Tuesday asking if he would be interested in shaving an angora rabbit. His response went something like this:

You asked me about grooming an angora rabbit and I had no idea what
that was, I looked it up on the internet a few seconds ago – they are
some of the craziest looking animals I have ever seen, I had no idea
there were rabbits like that.. they look like pekingese dogs.

I guess I would be willing to cut him..

OK. More like a direct quote, but you get the idea. He’d never done it, but he’s totally game. Very admirable quality.

I took Sugar Ray last night to Aaron’s shop. I was about 10 minutes late because for some reason I thought it was on Oxmoor when it was on Valley. I know this means nothing to you other than I was late. Anyway, after about an hour and fifteen minutes, Sugar Ray went from looking like a very large puffball to looking like a rabbit. Aaron is THE MAN.

Before:

During:

After:

And because I keep talking about it, I finally videoed Chloe’s attempt at getting Sugar Ray to mount her. Poor kitty. Can’t get no love. The sound didn’t come through, so just imagine a cat meowing in heat.
