You guys would’ve gotten quite the laugh to see me the other day. All three buns are shedding. Bigtime. And I had Mimzy and Pip out in the xpen so grooming would be easier. (With Fiver, it’s best to keep him in his night pen…less room for him to escape and no lunging runway! Lots of grunting though, sadly.
)Usually they give me all sorts of starch and run around the pen at a furious pace, but this was different. They must be so sick of their own fur that both of them would get into my lap and nibble my clothing to get me to groom them…Pip actually got enraged when I would stop, it was so funny. At one point, Mimz almost went right up my arm and over my shoulder he was so eager for the love glove…lolz.
But holy smokes!
I finally get done for the evening (just about everything has come off them except for their tail areas, Pip being the worst of course) and I am COVERED in bunny fur! I mean solid from head to foot. No, I did NOT get a picture. What do you think I am, crazy? 
But I got them back in their pens and took a loooong shower and by the time I got out, my left eye was so swollen from trying to rub fur out of it that the white was actually ballooining up to the iris from the corner of the tear duct inwards. It was bloodshot, sore and painful all the way into the next day. Finally, after many applications of eye drops, it subsided, but OY!
What a nightmare! I keep thinking about how President Elect Obama is going to get a hairless dog for his daughters and I am beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as a hairless bun and where I could get one? 
Share your HARE-raising (sorry!) stories here!

lolz…Thanks Pam. ^_^ Yup, the glove is a lifesaver for me, as any other brushing implement (including the Furminator) is given a strong stinkeye and a foot thump as soon as it is produced. xD
I got both mine at my local supermarket in the pet aisle. I think there’s a thread floating around with piccies of it.Here ya go…
https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/forumid/1/postid/80063/view/topic/Default.aspxI have been taking Benadryl like candy for months now.
It is losing it’s affect on me every time. Wears off before I’ve reached the 4-6 hour mark it claims on the package. I am going to have to go for something stronger from my doctor. I think having to keep the house shut up during the winter here, plus the added hay used for three bunnies and not to mention their shedding, is causing my allergies to be much, much worse than usual. It’s funny, I am not truly ‘allergic’ to their fur, but pulling the hay out and putting it in their pens is enough to get me sneezing, wheezing and choking in seconds. Poor Fiver, he looks at me with these HUGE wide eyes every time I sneeze. He doesn’t understand why mummy is a’sploding so much. ^_^ It used to be I’d only get this bad around horses or certain dogs. So there must be a dander/environmental similarity that my system recognizes and then just goes aggro on. >.<

OH allergies yes. Never had luck with benadryl either woreoff like you said under the time allotted on the directions. Yuck
Me and my ex used to have the battle of the windows. The idiot. HE would come home throw them all open during ragweed season. I would run around behind him shutting them. HE would well I will put it mildly grype. I have another word for it though. a couple more actually not good to put here though.
Finally I told him if it was you , You would be shutting these windows in a heartbeat. LIke duh my face is swollen my nose is clogged I can’t breathe out of it. My eyes itch and throat itches.
I understand where you are coming from. with yourlook at my eye does that look like faking it to you.
Exactly.I have an air purifier in the bedroom. It helps. I turned it on but it won’t run I have to go inside and see what is wrong with it. I hope i don’t have to go out and get a new one.
Ohhh yes I get to the pharnacy with a script for Claritin and Walmart is supposed to have it for 4.00 in generic. Stupid pharmacists tells me to go buy it over the counter for 1.00 a pill jerk. I took my business somewhere else.
Dr’s are really understanding about allergies go see him/her and you will get fixed right up. No need to suffer if you don’t have to.
