Snow and Static

Backyard after more snow.
Static-y Woolie.

Why did you shock me?


More snow out the front door.
So I think I can truthfully say "I'm over it!". It is only January and we have had over four feet of snow. That is my SUV under that lump down the end of the driveway. We could only shovel a small area near the road in order to park the cars. It makes it very difficult to get 50 lb. bags of feed to all the animals at the back of the property. We usually drive them or put the on a wagon and pull them around. That can't be happening now. Even with 4 wheel drive, it ain't happening.
Next is the static. I am over that too. Poor bunnies, if I forget to touch something and scuff across the rug, shocks to what ever I touch. Something that does help the static is to keep a small purse size spray bottle of water and spritz the air around the bunny and your hands. Also, keeping hand lotion on your hands cuts down on the dryness. And yes, keep thinking Spring!

If you haven't already, you definitely need to name a rabbit "Blizzard". Here's hoping you all stay warm and safe!

Try using fabric softener sheets to eliminate static before touching your rabbits...perhaps keep it in your pocket and rub your hands with it (or even the bunnies?)

I took a dryer sheet once and rubbed it on my daughter's "crazy" hair. Settles it right down.
