Since we live in the backwoods of Oregon, spring usually brings many wild baby rabbits around our house. The other night it seems that our cats found a nest. For hours Tsunami and I listened to one screaming little bunny after another. There is no stopping it...after such a find that cats are not about to come in the house. After five or six bunnies one almost can't help but laugh; you know, a nervous kind of laugh. It was a long night. Tsunami just kept sinking lower, and lower, and lower in her chair...

They sound just like a child's squeeky toy.

It turns out that our little Zooby is quite the bunny killer!

You should have seen Tsunami! All that we could do was to sit and [try not to] listen.
 
I can't work now.
 
Gosh, don't take it so hard Evo. We still have plenty of bunnies around here. Besides, I happen to know that those particular bunnies were evil!

Evil, evil bunnies!

Ok, I feel better now.
 
wow...just...wow, poor little rabbits. I used to have one as a pet
 
If Monthy Python taught us anything, it is that bunnies are twisted, malicious creatures that have to be dealt with as harshly as possible...
