I know that Naturestee has been busy with her foster babies and momma other wise I am sure sure would have updated this thread on the poor matted baby fuzzy lop.
I took another drive to Sheboygan last Saturday, and together, Naturestee and I were able to de-matt that little cutie. She has a very soft hair coat at this time either due to bad breeding, improper care,or because she has her baby coat yet. The poor little baby had to have been miserable with all of the matting. It was so tight that her skin had lost some of elasticity already and she is only a few months old.
She had grown and developed so much in one week that she impressed me greatly. Her development is probably a combination of being inside and receiving proper care, and just growing up. Her personality is blooming and she seems to have quite the sense of humor. Every time she needed a break, she would run along the counter as far away from us as possible and groom on her matts that were just hanging off of her as they were getting shaved. Towards the end of the grooming session, she would run away and just flop.
It was so funny to see this half-naked baby bun getting tired of the whole ordeal, that flopping just seemed so adult. Her actions just took both us by surprise that we had to laugh at her being so darn cute. I took pictures of her with my cell phone, but can't download them because that isn't part of my package. I will have to check with the phone company to see if there is any way to get the pics out of the phone and how much extra it will be.
Naturestee and I really hope she will get adopted by people who will understand and care for her super-soft coat. We both hope that her coat will change either with age or with this shaving. The grooming was so much to ask a little baby bun to go through, but carrying skin-tight thick matting around would have been ten times worse. She really is a little trooper for bouncing back early in her life from such mistreatment.
So if any one is interested in a newly-shaved baby fuzzy lop, contact Naturestee and, I am sure,she will gladly put you in contact with the shelter in Sheboygan. This baby just needs someone savy with hair-coat and tolerant of so much cuteness and personality.

Just a quick side-note-- While we were working on baby-bun,the last bunof a litter from the Easter breeding season was adopted. He was so mellow and cute, that I was surprised he was at the shelter that long. Peace and blessing to that little guy and his new adoptive family.
