It doesn't seem that long ago when we brought Little Bit (later called Chewy for obvious reasons), into the house.
It was February, last year. Her tiny ear tips had become frost bitten--actually blackened! Her brothers & sisters were constantly getting her ears wet which induced the frost-bit. And on top of that she was the tiniest of the litter. I opted to bring her indoors to prevent any further damage to her ears. This was only to be a 'temporary' relocation. But the weather last year was as nasty as this year.
You've probably already guessed it...Little Bit become a house-hold fixture.
From the beginning she wormed her way into John's heart. It wasn't uncommon to find the two of them snuggling on the sofa watching TV or just napping.
A year later and Bit's still living indoors. Over the year we've realized Bit has a malformed left hip that prevents her from moving correctly. She's allowed to move around the front room at will, for therapeutic exercise. We watch her closely around all the electrical cords.
She and, our 12 year old cat, Evie, get along very well. They're too funny, they take turns sleeping along side the kerosene heater. Both seem to enjoy using the fuel tank base as a pillow....go figure!!! How comfortable could that be??? Often times Evie and Bit cuddle together beside the heater....it's too cute!!! They also seem to believe that John's the world's greatest recliner! They take turns to see which one gets the human lap first. Sometimes they settle on sharing the lap. :- D
John admits....Little Bit's, 'One terribly spoiled bunny!!!!
She'll hop over to were he's sitting and pull on his pant leg cuff, to get his attention. This is to also let John know she wants picked up and held. She'll lay in his arms for lengthy periods of time. If the two happen to be napping on the sofa, she'll wake up and nip at John's chine whiskers, to wake him up. This is her way of telling John she wants down to go eat. She'll eat then return to him for the next session of napping.
