He also likes to get his ride. I pick up the basket, with him in it, and carry it around my apartment at about head-height. He really seems to like getting to see things from a much more elevated perspective.
Those photos were taken last weekend, before George's shaving. This photo was taken yesterday:
Note that there is a white patch on George's hip. He does not grow any hair there.
George was abandoned by his mother and rescued by a friend when he was very young. He weighed four ounces (113gm). He had an open wound in his hip that was infested by maggots. He spent a lot of time in a bathroom sink, having his wound washed out with warm water and rinsed out with hydrogen peroxide until it healed. To this day, a bathroom sink is a comfort zone for George.
I had to do the same thing for my pet rabbit Pirate. Since he's mostly white it's hard to see the scar, but man that was a rough month. I'm glad George made it through okay.
