The Great Escape

Every morning Eric lets Russell the rabbit out of his hutch, to hop around in the back yard. Every evening he puts him back in so that the cats can't eat him. Most days I see him, but some days I don't.

I sent Eric out to put him away as usual on Thus. but he couldn't find him, and I couldn't find him, and Robert found this hole under the fence...

Nobody knew how long he had been out or where he had gone. After looking for about 15 min. I decided to look for clues. If he had been in the flower bed that day he probably ate the flowers. Sure enough there were missing flowers. So at least we knew which direction he has gone. Robert found him about 10 min. later at the house behind ours. We had a hard time trying to catch him. If Russell could talk, I'm sure he would have an evil laugh. You know he taunts us by washing his face as you get near, and just as you think you've got him he hops away. It's like a reverse game of tag. Half of the time he ends up hopping into his hutch by himself. (After Eric has chased him around the yard for 10 min.) Yes, I'm sure he has an evil laugh.

Although he really is a good natured rabbit, look at how he lets Eric carry him around.
