Welcome Home Genevieve!

We have a new baby at our house, a black satin angora doe that we've named Genevieve. She's a beauty and will, hopefully, be a girlfriend for Andy the angora buck.

Genevieve is still getting settled in. She doesn't quite know what to think about Sam, the Springer Spaniel. Andy just pushes Sam out of the way, but Genevieve thinks that Sam might eat her. She doesn't know what a wimp he is yet.

We've offered her parsley but she preferred to nibble on some of the potted flowers. I didn't let her nibble long because I'm not sure they're good for little rabbits. She also likes to eat the dried oak leaves that are falling right now.

I brushed her out for the first time today and got a big handful of silky angora fur. I can't wait to spin it up!
