Do your pets behave differently come spring? I know the wild birds do, and of course Miss Hoppy had her biannual big "spring shed" sometime every spring! I would pet her outside and just left the tufts of bunny hair float away - I always figured the baby birds in our neighborhood grew up with the softest lined nests ever! She also loved the dandelions when they would start to blossom, neighborhood children would even sometimes bring them to her because she would suck the whole flower into her mouth and then the stem would go in gradually like a piece of spaghetti!
