pet connection

For a person who’s not blogging today, I’m sure blogging a lot today.

Over on the other place I blog, the Year of Living Greenly, I write about rabbits:

A rabbit is better than a garbage disposal. It’s true: You can give a rabbit all your green kitchen trimmings and he’ll eat them with enthusiasm, no electricity required. Then he’ll produce lovely waste that will super-charge your compost pile, providing you eventually with the most luscious rich compost for your garden.

So you can grow more lovely vegetables, giving him the trimmings, and on it goes. The circle of life, without the petro-chemicals!

[...]

What most people don’t realize about rabbits is that they’re great house pets, and also really good, quiet and gently affectionate pets for adults. In other words: Get one for your kid and stick the poor baby bun out in a little wire-floored hutch and after the kid decides the Wii is more interesting the rabbit will act as brain-dead bored as any living being would be in such a horrid environment.

Read the rest. Also: Chickens!

Also also: We’ve been named one of the best blogs by people over 40. Most of us are over 50 — and I soon will be — but that’s OK. Hard to image anyone that old. Love the gray-haired granny pic with the post. Excuse me, I need to find my rocker now … these old bones ache. Total bonus: The old-bloggers club shares the spotlight with a story on THE BOSS. Ohhhhhhh. Bonus total bonus and completely unrelated except that it makes me giggly happy: Check out this video. And show a little faith — there’s magic in the night.
