This has nothing to do with the pros or cons of welfare but thought you would enjoy one of my critics around the studio. We have anywhere from 2[up to 7 of these cottontails in some years] who wait patiently every morning for their welfare handout which consists of carrots. We have only 2 this winter. Our resident Owls have a lot to say about how many there are. It has gotten to the point that when we step out the door these little beggars nearly mug us for a carrot. Oh well. They are good company and make pretty good friends
