bunnies are found!

Talk about anything that catches your fancy, not necessarily horse-related. Just sit back, get comfortable and chat with friends.

Glad you found them. What about using a net-type horse cooler? Big enough to trap them under; not heavy enough to do them damage.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#HAHAHAHA, Eileen, and HA, your response! hee hee  But sending the hubby would require a bigger hole...... Hmmm, get HIM to dig it then tell him "get in!!" lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But seriously, I'm glad you found them.  They must've escaped!  Would putting tasty treats out for them work to flush them out of hiding?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hubby wont know who the hole is for until after he has dug it. It will be on a need to know basis. He doesn't need to know until after.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think I might get the apples out after the kids are home from school.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thats too funny Ruth! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My dad's favorite story is about a neighbour of a coworker. The neighbour had a bunny he kept in an outdoor hutch, and the coworkers dog got loose one day. He found him next door in the yard shaking the dead rabbit. The coworker panicked, washed the rabbit up, fluffed up his fur and put him in the hutch, afraid of the neighbour being upset, and hoping the neighbour would think the rabbit died of natural causes. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#The neigbour was talking to him a couple of weeks later, and said ' I can't understand it. My rabbit died one day, and I buried him, but someone dug him up, cleaned him and returned him to the hutch!' It was priceless. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I just got back in from trying to catch those little rabbits. Boy they sure are fast. I was able to get one of them to come inside the barn for some apple pieces. He just played with me the whole time. I would lunge at him and he would move just far enough away for me not to be able to reach. He never ran off. I was kneeling down on the floor and when I thought I had him I would grab for him, falling over in the process. This went on for about 10 minutes. The bunny never was afraid and left, I just couldn't take any more. I'm going to be so bruised tomorrow. My friends are going to think that my husband beat me for making him go under the barn. The things we do for our kids. Will I ever learn?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
