We have many, many rabbits in the woods near our place, and my sizable dog loves to chase them. I don't let her catch them because I don't want to clean rabbit fur from her teeth or pull plants and twigs from her coat, but it gets her blood pumping to race a little bit.

So, we're walking outside earlier, and I spot a rabbit near the brushline. My dog spots it and starts creeping carefully. She sprints at it, the rabbit races into the brush...and smacks headlong into the plastic around a young tree (like a black plastic accordion pipe) with a solid *THUNK*. I don't think it knocked itself out, couldn't see with the tall grass, but it had to hurt.

How's he going to explain that bump back at the rabbit den? :)

I wish, but I can't control the dog with a camera (she's 77 lbs and strong). Besides, she's chased so many rabbits at this point that I would have many worthless outings to show for this one event.

Rabbits are dumb. Years ago, I used to chase some that lived on campus and I got one that was running for it's hole in the side of the portable building it lived under...and it misjudged by about 1.5ft and plowed headfirst into the plywood with a hollow thump. It stood there dazed for a minute or so and I decided it had suffered enough and wandered off.

Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed with Belgian Shepherd. Looks like a Ridgeback without a ridge and with a black mask.

She's been sick the past couple days but hopefully is over it. I didn't go with the family on vacation so I could take care of her. Dumb dog.

ever see that movie "Roger & Me" ?

it's worth seeing just for the interview with the rabbit lady.

a woman in Detroit who raises rabbits to make ends meet.

and that means killing and eating them.

she kills one & skins it right there on camera. doesn't eat it though.
they should really have a warning telling people to close their eyes.
