WHY, after 9 years of living with what is at first glance normal innocent looking friendly dogs with apparent VICIOUS WOLF-like hehavior, patroling the grounds, do the bunnies INSIST on giving birth to baby wabbits INSIDE A WOLVES DEN? WHY, i ask you, are most bunnies so clueless to the environment in which they choose to make their nests?
Perhaps they are taking their chances by being eaten by a "wolf" , due to the fact that the "Peeping Tom-Cat" (yeh he peeks in our windows and waves at the dogs) will not venture into the yard...making them SOMEWHAT safe, OR they have a death wish of somekind. :|
Usually, Jack, would have just swallowed any bunny he caught, but CHANCE throws it around for a while, CHOMPS on it a little, JUST enough to inflict internal injuries, kills it, then BRINGS IT INTO THE HOUSE AND TOSSES IT TO KEITH! Trust me, I've never before seen my husband SPRING from a full reclining position like that, without the use of his legs! We're up to number 3 of the cutest baby bunnies THAT EVER EXISTED, being killed by what I once considered to be a gentle giant. :( I couldn't be more sickened by the whole thing.
Judging by these actions and his affection towards cats in general, I am fully confident, Chance WAS a cat in his past life. :| Look how innocent he looks. DON'T BE FOOLED, vicious wolf.

STL Tornado Regrets - Hindsight is 20/20
I was preparing to go to dinner with a friend and was 1 block away from my house, at hers. As the tornado sirens started blaring, the news notified that there was a tornado on the ground just 10 mins out, headed our way. The newscast alerted to "Grapefruit" size hail. Knowing I only have liability insurance on my vehicle, and a garage full of "73'Cuda" and other misc items, I asked my friend if my car could take shelter in her garage, to which she agreed. After my car was safe I realized, I was unable to get back to my house to make sure my 3 dogs got down in the basement, unless I made the 5 min run back around the block.
As we watched the tornado storm clouds approach and the sky get greener and greener, I realized my mistake and this late in the "game" it would be futile for me to attempt to get to my house, even with the car. The only thing I could do now, is hope for the best. I knew my 17 year old dog, would not go to the basement. The dogs and I have taken shelter in the basement during storms several times, so I surmized POSSIBLY the others might go down on their own, but the chances were probably slim. The tornado was a doozy! I believe we heard the "train" noise off in the distance as the tornado made its way just a few miles south of us. Thankfully, the house was spared and the dogs were safe. After seeing the damage and hearing the stories of the victims, in hindsight, I should have said "F" the car, and drove immediately back to the house to help the dogs. :( Thankfully this regret does not have a larger cost.
