    Does anyone do anything Special On New Years Eve or New Years?

    DH and I are homebodies. Don't venture out on New Years Eve. Never liked being exposed to the "drunk element". I'm the one that usually is awake at Midnight to greet the new year. DH usually falls asleep. I don't remember when the last time he made it to Midnight. New Years Day...

    The Incredible Dr. Pol - Livestock Vet Show

    I don't have a lot of good things to say about TV programs, but this one is a good watch. I really learned a lot regarding livestock. Especially when a sheep has a prolapsed uterus. Amazing how Dr. Pol handled it. He's a really interesting Vet. Looks like Michigan has a good Livestock Vet...

    How would you introduce a new rabbit to others?

    I've done a lot of reading about introducing a new member to the herd, but would like some input on how to introduce a new bunny. The reason why I ask is DH thinks Willard is lonely and should have a mate to share his digs. Appreciate any input. :)
