Bunny Wrangling

As I pulled into the driveway this evening I saw something white darted out of the back yard and into the bushes on the opposite side of the drive. I got out of the car and saw the cutest fluffy white bunny making its way through a small gap in our fence and into our neighbor's yard. Our landlord lives next door and I knew the bunny wasn't his so naturally I began to wonder where he had come from-- he was far too well groomed to be a 'wild' bunny-- I knew he must be someone's lost pet. I felt so bad that some kid had lost their pet.

I called Tyler over and we watched the bunny and tried to decide what to do. It was very cold, getting colder every min and I knew it would be too cold for the bunny to make it through the night outside. Tyler I am managed to coax the bunny back over to our yard. We sat and pet him for a while--he was so soft, and such a sweetie he was content to sit there and be pet all night. Then we made a huge mistake-- we tried to pick him up. He took off and man was he fast! Tyler chased him 3 houses down the street before he managed to corner him. Tyler began corralling the bunny back toward our house as I tried to decide which neighbor he belonged to.

I walked two houses down the road and knocked. The woman that answered peaked her head out and I said, "Do you by chance own a white bunny?" "Yes" she answered looking confused. "Well I found him in my yard about 20 minutes ago. My husband and I tried to pick him up but he took off--he is now shooing the bunny back this way." The woman thanked me for our concern and came out to get him. Apparently our little friend is quite the escape artist-- this is the 4th time he broke out so far this month!

So there we were-- three adults-- chasing and bunny back and forth trying to catch him. Tyler finally managed to corner him and gently 'wrangle' him into submission so his owner could come retrieve him. I wish I had had a camera on me-- it was hilarious. Truly, this doesn't do it justice-- the image of all of us chasing this bunny was the funniest thing i have seen all week.

Our little friend is now home safe-- I did my good deed for the week.

Bunny wrangling-- its alot harder than you think it would be-- they are fast!

Lucky for me (and our neighbor) Tyler is a top notch bunny wrangler--what an athlete!
