This one is Daisy - he had been running about the yard and decided to take a break, much to the relief of my daughter who is attached to the other end of the leash. We have to keep them 'leashed' as there are too many escape hatches in our yard!
Then Gretel had his turn, we can't let them out together as Daisy is a bit of a bully, and he has already ripped his brothers nuts off at a huge financial cost to me and no doubt psychological cost to Gretel...
But they do like to visit each other from the safety of the other side!
You may recall those fluffy wee bunny-things we got last year.
Have I mentioned that not only have they cost a fortune with their ventures into DIY surgery, Daisy also has now developed a wonky tooth. This tooth initially required knock-out surgery to correct but we have since found that he tolerates a good old fashioned grind (of the tooth variety that is) by the dental instrument weilded by the Vet...they only charge $25 for this every month....yeah. You'll know me when you see me, I have 'MUGGINS" across my furrowed forehead. I mean, you can buy a fair amount of wine for that kind of money if you know where to shop!
Gah, for the record it wasn't me who wanted these creatures.
However, the youngest sproglette was keen and was going to look after them yadda yadda. To her credit she did look after them for about a month, and now will look after them if I am away from home but to be honest, I probably brought this on myself .
I should have been meaner "No, you can't have a rabbit" should have rolled off my tongue as easily as "No, you can't have an ice cream before tea" or "No, don't play on the road" rolls off my very same traitorous organ.
Now, these guys aren't even in the same hutch. We had to build a new one to house Gretel after his brother savaged off his dangly bits (which weren't even dangly!)
So, beware those of you with tiny terrorists amongst you, those small creatures who know how to tug at your heart strings are not always up to any good!
too so best be nice to them, just in case eh?
