Vent of the day

I must confess that my dearly departed Chewy was also a baby bunny eater. At our large local dog park he discovered a nest with a half dozen really little ones. He guarded this nest for a while against the other dogs, and then proceeded to eat them all. When we got home ate his breakfast dog food, too.

I blame the mother rabbit for nesting in a park that has dogs in it for 6 hours every day. What did she expect?

Since we no longer have a dog, I have some wild rabbits that are like my pets. I put food out for them every day, and they aren’t afraid of me at all. They are the perfect pets – no vet bills, no mess, no worries when I go on vacation. They are just a calm, sweet presence in my yard. I do worry when the temperature goes below zero. Somehow most of them manage to survive our awful winters.
