What is a Fluffy? And what makes him special enough to have his own page on my web site?
Answer: Well, in case you couldn't tell from the pictures, Fluffy C. Rabbit, or just Fluffy to his friends, happens to be a rabbit--a genuine, toon carousel jack rabbit (yes, technically he's a hare--let's not get technical) who currently lives with me, Slappy and Skippy Squirrel.
I made this page about Fluffy to give people a place to find out more about him.
Fluffy is a living, breathing, toon carousel animal, a rare but no unheard of thing
in the cartoon world. Fluffy came to live with me back in 1999 when the carousel
he worked on closed down and I brought him home (okay, if you want to get technical, it was he who
brought me home--on his back). He isn't my pet though. He roams about
freely but has chosen to be a part of my family.On all fours, Fluffy stands about 3 foot tall to the top of his head. He is smaller than most carousel animals, but is quite a sturdy and well-built animal and can carry an average-sized toon on his back with no difficulty. His fur is white with a slight gray tinge to it. He enjoys being around children and is quite a gentle fellow despite his strong mindedness on who he lets ride him (he absolutely will not let another rabbit ride him) and a definite streak of smugness that seems to have emerged from him since his carousel days.
He's also become a very spirited and playful animal around those he knows... sometimes a little too playful (see main page)... which is why I sometimes wear spurs when we go riding. I am the only one he allows this with, however.
In case you are wondering, yes Fluffy is fluffy :-) And no, I did not name him that--his mother did, and if you want to make fun of his name I suggest you do it from a great distance.
Fluffy has a distinctive 'toony rabbit look with long ears, big soft paws and a smug, self-assured smirk. His carousel trappings are relatively simple compared to some carousel animals, consisting of a blue saddle with gold trim, a collar, a red and gold satin blanket, and a red ribbon tied to the right side of his saddle. He also has a matching blue bridle with reins and gold fastenings which he occasionally wears.
All of these pictures of Fluffy found on this page were drawn by me, and I am rather proud of them and my abilities, therefor I would ask that you respect my rights, as well as Fluffy's, and not use or steal my art without permission.

 Nice Fluffy... giddyup! |
