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

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).

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!”
