Installment Two _ The Many Adventures of Blossom the Rabbit

Add caption

   I bought a rabbit this spring. I had visions of our beautiful fenced yard and garden with this tender loving pet hopping around. We would let her out to run at first. She loved it. She would explore and hide in her favorite Day lilies. She would then come and want to be cuddled etc. It started out great. Steve felt sorry for her in a pen all day so he decided to let her run around in the chicken run. At first, I thought it was cute also. She loved chasing the chickens. If you came in to hold her and pet her she would run up on some bricks and you could easily pick her up. Then one day, I noticed a rather large hole expanding inside the chicken coop. I warned Steve, he said not to worry. Then she escaped. We would see her out in the yard. Steve caught her and filled in the hole. She got out again! Steve thought she was getting out from on top of the bricks. So he fixed her wagon on that account only to find her out yet once more. He fixed every hole by the fence he could and walked away. A few minutes later, there she was on the middle of the lawn again. This time, she eluded him. We knew she was hanging around our yard because we would catch glimpses of her. It seemed like she would come and stand close by when she knew your hands were full and you couldn't catch her. The whole family began plotting. Finally on the 24th of July, some of the family was visiting. The grandchildren, under the direction of E, began to construct booby traps for Blossom. Then L spotted her! Everyone jumped into action, with 9 people chasing you, you run out of options. They trapped her under Steve's tipi poles. Then after lifting up the tarps, Steve reached in and grabbed the feral Blossom. She cried like a baby. We cheered and took photos. The grandchildren celebrated with a chicken chase. It was a victory long awaited. But Blossom wasn't easily persuaded to forgive Steve...she stills tries to bite him. She now has luxury digs, but no freedom!
