Our annual winter litters of dust bunnies has started to appear hiding in their nests

under the couch and recliners - a few have moved out of the warmth of their

nests and are beginning to migrate to their favoriate hiding places under the tv and

various lamp tables in the corners - we usually let them mature until spring when

they are large enough and fast enough on the spring winds to escape most of the

preditors when we let them out of the house - however - this year our pup Flame

has decided that she just has to dig them out of the corners and from under the

chairs and tables and just kill everyone that she can get close too - she has

learned that those long legs are good for really scraping the spaces to get the

wee little ones out where she can get a good chomp and shake on them -

the trouble she doesnt eat what she kills - she just brings her soggy wee ones

to us as presents with various parts hanging out of her mouth - at this rate we will have no mature dustbunnies to release for OFC season next spring - any suggestions?

Dear Dwight, please don't worry about the dustbunnies, they are quite normal and its natural for Whippets to chase them down, often in front of company (w00t) . Much more worrying is my Whippets habit of jumping on my husbands head in search of hares! :lol: :thumbsup:

I dont think that the pure blood Dust Bunnie is related - thats a picture of

what we here in the states would call a jackalope - though the antlers are

of a different variety - maybe a cousin of ours - quite rare though out in

west texas they claim to have an abundance of them - the dust-bunnies

are quite common when small and seem to have a preference for living with or very

near humans - the mature dust bunnies are quite shy and are seldom seen

they must be nocturnal in nature -
