"Dad, let's go hunting for that rabbit."
"Oh, I don't think that rabbit is around here."
"Dad, part of hunting is looking for things."
DUH.
Ed would like me to note that indeed, they almost caught the rabbit. Connor held one end of a net, Helen held the other. Ed flushed it out. Connor excitedly trapped it, Helen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Ed did not get there in time with a bucket to seal the deal. But next time...
Ed has also taken to putting a bungee cord on the trashcan to attempt to keep out a wily raccoon that enjoys dining on our trash, while perched on our car. What is it with men in my life and wildlife?
just read the article about your dad's trapping, it was funny.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, another option is to own a German Sheppard. Our dog Heidi is chasing them and we haven't seen a rabbit or a squirrel around the backyard for a few years now.
