Alfie authoritarian, but a bit TOO much and it worried me no end that Lulu was baby rabbit coloured (and size) to begin with. He now sniffs noses, and head-butts them but any swipe with a paw has claws out, so I don't quite trust him yet. Need to take their crate down though and let them be free-range at night. I won't sleep a wink for worry!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-60060871314662908362022-12-06T15:04:46.332-08:002022-12-06T15:04:46.332-08:00As you know they will grow out of it LOL As you know they will grow out of it LOL marlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128039722160556974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-88554125695967391242022-12-05T22:44:13.789-08:002022-12-05T22:44:13.789-08:00Even my thickest denim jeans don't help much. ...Even my thickest denim jeans don't help much.

Only old age got him in the end. <br /><br />What a shame you have come to a grinding halt with your family tree because of the workhouse. When it is a common name it is almost impossible to tie down family accurately. If they are first born children might they have been given their parents' Christian names? Can you find the parents' marriage using their birth-dates and those names? Or deaths for people of those names prior to their going into the workhouse?Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-489421247908919432022-12-05T05:08:05.794-08:002022-12-05T05:08:05.794-08:00They were both fast asleep there, so perhaps she w...They were both fast asleep there, so perhaps she was dreaming of leaping!

Pippi will come up on me when it's sleep time, but isn't one for being made a fuss of. Food motivates her.

I'm afraid the workhouse has a lot to answer for. It's brought me to a grinding halt with my family tree research. It seems records weren't kept and two ancestors went into the workhouse at a very early age when both their parents must have passed away. I am now at an impasse.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-22998389721651779262022-12-05T01:31:08.912-08:002022-12-05T01:31:08.912-08:00I can see Pippi’s splayed claws - she’s ready to j...I can see Pippi’s splayed claws - she’s ready to jump.
