SSShhhh, be veh wee Quiet

For the last two months, seems I've been adrift at sea in a turtled dinghy. But I'm back and now, and I'm hunting wabbits, cowpwint wabbits. My tulips asked me, with great desperation, to please PWEEZE catch this wabbit before spwing.

Here's the back story. Around spring of 2007, a domestic bunny appeared in the neighborhood. It is white with black spots and it's legal name (according to me) is "Cow Print Bunny". Cow print bunny has been free ranging over two full blocks for almost two years now, in and out of seasons, across years and definitely through the place where the wild things are (the neighbor's yard with the neighborhood kids). It eats pretty much anything, especially things you would rather NOT have eaten. Aside from eating everybody's gardens, it's a cute lawn ornament. And we all thought it was fine that a domestic wabbit went fwee wange. But then it made a crucial mistake....it moved into MY BACK YARD. My back yard has much flora on which a fwee wange wabbit can delectify. After two years of allowing the bunny to roam free as the wind (or not, I heard bunnies can't pass gas), I decided that alone on the range is no life for a lonely domestic rabbit. So I am going to adopt it. It has no IDEA how lucky it is about to become.

Today, during lunch hour, I got an indoor/outdoor exercise pen (aka: cage), a litter pan and litter pellets on the off chance the thing can be box trained, a small bag of grass for a large price (good grief), and some other bunny essentials. Oh, and a NET. Yep, I got a net from the fishin section of Target. They don't sell nets at Petco. At Petco, they assume you've already captured your furry companion.

Now, I'm waitin. Waitin for the wabbit. Because as soon as I was weady for it, it disappeared. But I'm gonna catch that wascally wabbit. And it's gonna live a luxurious life indoors where its new biggest concern will be boredom and the cat glaring at it.

And, I have just the right hat. I have a blue gingham Elmer Fudd hat. It's perfect. Wabbits LUV Elmer Fudd hats. At least I don't have a blunderbuss.

I'll keep you posted.
