It was around 5:00 Wednesday evening and time to head to the barn to feed.
I spotted a visitor on my way there and asked him to stay while I went to grab the camera.
He did.
Why wouldn't he? He had found the coolest patch of dirt on the ranch, right below the downspout.
Me: I'm going to let the chickens out now. You might want to be careful. They're carnivores.
Bunny: I'll wait over here.
Clara: Who's that grazing in my yard?
Clara: You are aware that there's a freeloader right behind me, are you not?
I lay eggs. He lays poop. Do the math. Get rid of him.
Minnie: You'd better be charging him rent!
Bunny: I'm sensing I'm not welcome here.
Me: Pay no attention. The heat makes them ornery.
Bunny: Ta-ta for now.
He's one smart bunny to choose that particular spot to lie in the cool . . . and to hightail it away when the girls emerged.
ReplyDeleteSo.
I know how you are: you name everybody who comes by.
What's his name?
Awwww....he's CUTE! I hope he stays around!
ReplyDeleteWas it a baby jack rabbit? Looked small, but def a jack. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable! Same question June asked... what's his name?
ReplyDeleteI guess one might be a little on the warm side wearing a fur coat in NM eh! ;p Dear Bunny, if you like weeks feel free to dine in my front yard k.....
ReplyDeleteI just love your dialogues. It really starts my day off with a smile on my face
ReplyDeleteWe have wild bunnies every year. They join the chickens for meals in the yard, share the water bucket, and all co-exist peacefully. I've seen Harry chase them once or twice just for fun, otherwise it's live and let live.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you and your carnivorous hens--my hens found a cicada (still alive) and proceeded to annihilate it, despite the horrible buzzing sound it was making.
ReplyDeleteGlad your bunny is taking a break from eating twine. :)
so glad the "the bunny" who is yet nameless, hung out and let you take photos of his respite. he would fit right in with the rest of the long ears.
ReplyDeleteJack rabbits have a great ac in those long lanky ears.
too cute, looks like you have a new pet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie! Love the bunny butt hopping away :)
ReplyDeleteYeah....I don't think he's visiting. He looks pretty homey under that downspout. I expected to see a bowl of water, maybe some carrots set out.
ReplyDeletePretty girls...Clara and Minnie.
Aww. When I first saw him sitting under the pipe I thought maybe he was waiting for a shower ;)
ReplyDelete"Somebunny" - I didn't even notice this cute pun at first!!
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos! Our jackrabbits usually move to fast for me to get good shots!!
ReplyDeleteAdmit it, Carson, you're just a sucker for anything that breathes :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a crafty bunny :)
