Bunny Snooze

Guess who decided to take a snooze just beyond our fence line one cold winter day?

James Son of Stewart Taking A Nap In The Snow

Yup – it’s James.

Although he’s soaking up the rays, James isn’t really out in the open. He’s carefully chosen his snoozing place, finding a spot in between our chain link fence on one side and the neighbor’s shed on the other. Overhead is a large maple tree. So (not surprisingly – he’s a very clevery bunny) James is reasonably protected from getting picked off by an airborne predator (as in one of our many bald eagles).

I'm a-sleepin' with one ear open!

Note the carefully positioned ear, btw – a bunny’s equivalent of sleeping with one eye open!

    …and, he’s just too quick for my dogs! Grrrrr.

    Yup – that ear says so much. “I know you are there, even if I don’t acknowledge your presence.” It could also be “Did you give any thought to bringing me a treat?”

    LOL – yeah, it’s both an “I know you are there” and “where’s the food, huh?” ear, isn’t it?

    Dan, I think Rudy would drop dead of shock if he ever caught one of the bunnies! ;-) Abby, on the other hand, would simply dust her paws off and and say, “See? That’s how it’s done!”
