Last night my people spent the evening downstairs with The Pup. Usually they sit down in front of the big noisy box upstairs and don't move for an hour or two. Last night, however, was different for some reason. Don't ask me why.
They sat in the big room downstairs and put The Pup on the floor. She rolled around and made all sorts of noise as usual so I decided to stroll over to the big glass door. I plopped down in front of it and stared outside at the grass and trees like I do most of the time when my people are gone.
I was just getting ready to doze off when I caught a flicker of movement out of the corner of my eye. I stood up and nearly yelped as the teeny tiniest little bunny hopped out of the bushes and started eating the grass in the middle of the yard. Alpha Male had just cut the grass so I could see the rabbit really well. It was no bigger than mouse, it was so small.
And it just sat there. Eating.
I tried to be good. I stood at the door and twitched as the rabbit moved from one blade of grass to another. It pretended like it didn't even see me, acting all aloof and unaware, but I know it was just messing with me. Rabbits are like that.
I finally couldn't take it anymore and started pawing at the big glass door. The bunny heard me and ran off into the bushes.
Big Mama heard me too. She came over to see what all the fuss was about. She didn't see anything out in the yard but let me out anyway.
I rushed over to the bushes and flushed that rabbit out quicker than you can say "snack time." It sped away and went underneath the pool. I tried to pick up its scent again with no luck.
Next time, rabbit. Next time.
