Brer Rabbit, city style.

There may be a sequel...

 There are feral Rabbits that live under a dead truck in the yard. They seem to be surviving the snow and cold nicely. Their tracks in the snow indicate they know where the food is.

 The rabbits and I agree to dislike each other. I can tell, by the way the black one twitches his nose at me. He, (and I pray he's a he), has a friend that is white. Secretly, I hope the white one is the same gender. I can accept two feral gay rabbits much easier than the specter of a bunch of baby 'Thumpers'. 

 This is Alaska, for God's sake! Where are the hungry Eagles when I need them? A city dwelling Wolverine, perhaps. Too bad Moose are vegetarians. Unfortunately for me, Rabbits are not migratory animals. They seem to know paradise when they find it.

 Wishing them away is not a solution. Like a B grade horror movie, I'm going to have to match wits with the 'Lepus'. No killer I, a trap shall have to be employed.

And thus begins another adventure...

Pesky Wabbits!!!

I enjoyed this and living times in the North country with snow Moose and well, yes... Rabbits. I can relate! We had rented a house once and the Landlord [former tenant] had decided since he was leaving the country, it would be a good idea to free poor bunnies? Not such a great idea... there were bunnies everywhere.

The kids thought it cool... us gardeners, didn't!

"Trappin' the Wild Lepus-and other tales of the Alaskan Outback"
and so it begins..

I would love to see the wabbits talking back and telling their own (tails?) stories..running commentary on life in Alaska and the things to watch out for.."Ya know bub ..the funny one is the big one with no hair on his face, he just makes loud noises and shakes stuff at Me when I go for a run in the carrot rows.. same with the lettuce and cabbage..must be his territory but I swear....I dont smell his markins any where?";;)))

They can be very pesky, but they are also tasty. I say hit them over the head and fry them up. An excellent story. :)

ooh a story from you, love it. i love rabbits. especially thumper in the film. the bit when his mum tells him off and he has to repeat to her what he's been taught..."if you can't say anything good about somebody, don't say anything at all!" i quoted it to my kids when they were young all the time. Now they don't speak to me. ha ha. love this and love you. like the new photo too. you look different everytime i see you. hope you are well. and thanks for reviewing the ancient one. Trish.

A fun story, and delightful. This is different for you and truly hope you have a sequel .. but a kind one or, maybe, those feral creatures will play games with you .. gay or otherwise! :)
