OT Annie (d-thing) is going nuts
There must be lots of bunnies in the back yard as Annie is on the back
porch squealing, whining and barking at them. Then she comes to me and gives me the “Timmy fell down the well (again)” look because she wants so bad to go chase them. I prefer not to let her – at least not unless bunnies are already on their way out of the yard due to me knocking on a window or opening the door. -- ^..^ This is Kitty. Copy and paste Kitty into your signature to help her wipe out Bunny's world domination. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

So is the canine Annie. :-) Pam S. The problem is, the bunnies are not used to running from us (at least the older ones aren't, the younger ones still have the flight instinct kick in pretty quick....) Until January, we had an older dog that basically just hobbled around - sometimes he could hobble rather quickly, but still, it was still hobbling. Bunnies got used to us not chasing them (one actually let me get withing 6 feet of it, and calmly hopped a few more feet away). After he passed, we got another dog from our local shelter. A much younger dog. She's got some sight-hound in her (whippet, or greyhound), and she loves to run. Fast. Very Fast. Can't see her feet when she's at top speed, just a black ball hovering about a foot above the ground, zooming around the yard, ears (and tongue) flapping in the wind. Bunnies get quite a shock when we come out and *SURPRISE*!!! Something is chasing them! I've tried to not let Annie go after them, but since the bunnies are acclimated to us, we have to go outside and chase them away ourselves - which is not an easy thing to do when there's a dog trying to get out the door the same time you are, and you don't want the dog out. It's kind of comical when Annie needs to go out for restroom duties and finds something to chase en-route. Ever watch a dog try to squat to pee and chase a rabbit or a squirrel (or Frank, our neighbors cat, that we thought was Betty or Weeble first time we saw him - we had to do a black-cat-count inside to make sure!)at the same time. You can almost see the wheels turning in her doggie-brain...."Chase?... Pee?... Chase?... Pee?.... Chase some.....start chase sequence Whoop, gotta pee NOW!!! apply brakes (luckily they are the anti-lock type, so she rarely skids), squat, pee some Wait... Whazzat? Nudder Skwerl???... Chase??? Finish pee?...." It's even more comical when she has to poop, as her position when pooping is, awkward, to say the least. Her legs are sooo long, and she balances on her front legs, lowers her back end, and hikes her back legs forward and out and they barely touch the ground, just enough for balance control - they almost look like wings - as if there's a flightless chicken in our yard flapping it's wings, especially if she in one of her chase-or-potty quandaries, because sometimes she's still moving AS she poops... -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

She sounds like a lot of fun. Kayla is easily distracted too. With her its any form of a ball. More important than treats certainly. Or us or the cats, etc. This dog loves her food, but will abandon her bowl in mid breakfast if there might remotely be a ball involved. I think we have squirrels moving into the neighborhood. It will keep her entertained, but I sure don't want her catching them. Jo |

Oh BOG. That is funny. I wonder if our owners laugh at us as much as we laugh at them. |
