Well, I was on the phone in the afternoon and I saw one in the backyard. In fact, I gasped and Merri Lee wondered what was going on. Tom had left the gate open so I chased it out. I thought, well, good maybe there was just one rabbit tormenting us.
I will share with you Kristina Wagner's rendition of what happened last night:
I just had dinner with Tom and Lisa at their lovely home in Denver and I just had to pass on my experience! It was a dinner and a show! Buckle up...the novel is worth it. ;)
To preface, Tom and Lisa have a lovely garden that they are very protective of and we spent a lot of time before dinner talking about how the squirrels and rabbits are quite a problem. They have all kinds of chicken wire and fencing around their backyard to keep the rabbits out and mothballs in their garden to keep the squirrels away.
Time passes and we are enjoying a yummy dinner as Lisa blurts out "how did he get in here?" She was referring to the bunny in the backyard. Lisa then proceeds to leave the table and chase this bunny all across her backyard. She is running back and forth!! Tom soon joins with a broom to try to scare the bunny out. We end up chasing it into a corner and it disappears. We think that it somehow found a hole and escaped. We go back inside to finish our meal.
Later, Lisa and I try to find this hole, but instead find the rabbit still in the yard hiding in a cinder block and it is shaking with fear. We try to get it to come out and go out the gate, but no such luck. Soooo Lisa gets Tom who comes out with a chef knife! Innocent me thinks that he got a smaller tool to try to get the bunny out, but no!! He stabs the bunny as Lisa and I turn in horror and start laughing and squealing at the whole thing. Tom says that the bunny was pretty injured but escaped the yard.
Lisa proceeds to soak the knife in a tub full of bleach but says she is just probably going to throw the knife out anyways. Oh and they have a rabbit themed bathroom that they now say they are going to redecorate. We end the night with Limoncello and tea trying to forget the trauma that we both experienced. Haha
Typing it all out does not do this story justice, but I just had to share it with you all because I thought you'd get a kick out of it. Haha
When we went out as Kristina was leaving, we were gingerly stepping around the car and saw a rabbit in the Rowe's grass. It was not the stabbed one but was not afraid of us. So exasperating.
As Linda Coulson said to me, "I told my husband to shoot rabbits but not when I am home. But the other night, there was one eating the grass and I said to him,'Shall I get your pellet gun?'" They are such a menace
