Bunnies

A cute fluffy brown bunny has made its home in our front lawn. Its been munching on our lawn for breakfast and using our lawn for its toilet as well. We heard from our neighbor George that there are baby bunnies hiding somewhere on the side of our house also. I am not a big far of pets but bunnies I can handle. I have had quite a few bunnies for pets in the past. But all had tragic endings.
We got two at one time. Both boys. One named Roger and one named Peter. Peter was a fiesty rabbit and ran away from home. Roger was my favorite...I loved him so much. I was about eight when I went to Disneyland. I came back for my brother to break the news that Roger had died of heat stroke while we were gone. He burried him in our back yard. I guess that when rabbits over heat they make a screaming sort of noise. Now, I don't know if that is true or if my brother was lying. That was a sad day for me. I had many other rabbits to try and replace my beloved Roger, but none ever did.
I watched Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the WereRabbit last night. One of the special features was how they made the bunnies out of clay and wire. It looked so easy to make. If anyone hasn't seen this movie, you should. Why? Because it is funny and because it has bunnies in it and bunnies are cute.
Which makes me think of Easter and the Easter Bunny. Now that I think about it, a giant rabbit leaving eggs and candy for children is rather frightening.
