Maisie's getting a dewlap...

[maherwoman]

And it's so CUTE!! It's rather smallstill, but it's definitely there... Why do babies have togrow up? Not that she isn't cute, it's just thather baby body went away so quickly...

awww, she'sgonna be a little ladynow! I like dewlaps...something just makes them lookso....ladylike? lolol...I'm weird!

 

[maherwoman]

Yeah, it does make her look moreladylike. I think it reminds me a bit of in the 1800's inEngland when they used to wear all that frill at their neck with abrooch, or some such. Does that make sense?

 

[TrixieRabbit]

EXACTLY! I was going to say they lookkinda-well, elegant and sophisticated? Def. very 1800's bourgoeise.LOL! Tea and crumpets with their frilly umbrellas....

 

[maherwoman]

LOL...cute...frilly umbrellas. Ofcourse, if we actually gave them a frilly umbrella, they'd probablyjust eat all the frill and leave the rest. LOL!!Aren't buns funny?

It's funny because I was worried I wouldn't like the way it looked, butit just makes her look so refined and ladylike...it's quitecomplimentary! It's neat, too, because the furon her little (well, little for now) dewlap is a bit lighter of a greythen the rest of her fur. Pretty girl! I'll try to take a picture soon and post it so you can see.

 

[TrixieRabbit]

I can't wait to see the pics! I wonder is Trix will also get a dewlap...do lops get dewlaps? lol....

well, im not really sure because the pet store didnt tell us..but ithink she's about 7 months old...ive had her 6 months, so shes probably7 months and a few wks... i think she was really young whenwe got her...

i didnt like her name at first, in fact her original name i picked wasspooky but i had to change it because my dog mookie... my dad actuallynamed her and petey... peapoo got that name for areason..loland petey is named after the dog on the littlerascals

 

[maherwoman]

That's too funny...

Neat that you've had her from such a young age! Glad shewound up with a loving home that had people that could take care ofsuch a young bun.

 

[peapoo_bunny]
