Bunhalla woes

[trystinn]

I'm so bloody furious, I can barely speak.

Some asshole decided to come visit the bunnies while I was at work and left Bunhalla's gate wide open. So all five residential rabbits got loose. Brilliant, fucking brilliant. As I drove up into the driveway, Martha was staring at me from the front porch.

We've caught Foxglove (who patiently let me walk up to her and grab her), Martha (who took five people to grab, we had to use a hose to chase her out from under the Fury in the driveway) and Nod (who thankfully due to his blindness in one eye, is easy to sneak up on). Blinken & Winken are tucked down under the workshop. We've set feeder traps in each shed and at Bunhalla's gate. Now, its just a matter of time before they do something dumb and I nab them. Thankfully rabbit excel at doing dumb things, which is why Nature makes so many of them.

Fuck. Now its a race between me and the raptors. I don't think they'll try to get out through the back fence as there's a dog day care back there. If they do, they will die. So their options are stay in the backyard, head over to Patrick's (they will recognize the buns easily) or Loni's (possibly the workmen will see them).

Yes, I've super secured Bunhalla's gate and will be padlocking the north and south picket gates from now on.

Update: I just caught one of the twins, I think its Blinken (I know them by behavior and size, Winken is fatter). He wandered over to Bunhalla to munch on the alder leaves and I managed to trap him. Winken is still hanging out in the Orchard, gorging himself.

*HUG* I can only imagine how furious you are right now. I'm glad you caught most of them. *HUG*

Why people need to be such morons I'll never know.

Ugh. Some people just shouldn't breed. Seriously.

*HUGS* I hope you manage to get them all back into safety! *MoarHUGS*

Caught Blinken, so its only Winken Wide-Body at large. Figures.

I've always been delighted to let folks come in the property and visit the bunnies as long as they close the gate. Grrr.

Only one left loose. I've spent half the evening lying on the ground looking under sheds, the other half kneeling down to try to grab them.

My body will never recover!

Self-closing, self-latching gate time. Either that or supervised visiting hours *sigh* There was a kitten that wandered onto my front porch today and tried to get in after me. Poor thing. I wish I could keep it :( Stupid fucking asswipes that dump animals in the country *angry face*

Woe unto that moron when you find out who was responsible!

I hope Winken is safely nabbed, and soon.

*hugs*

Definitely time for padlocks.

At least you got most (hopefully by now, all) of them!

Im so sorry i couldnt come help, Id been drinking and should not have been on the road.
Do you think it was one of the kids or Deb?

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Nabbed him a little bit before midnight, details to come.

Why do I get the feeling that it was done deliberately?

I hope you've gotten them all back now.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

All accounted for.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I know Chris suspects Deb, but I'm trying to just chalk it off to idiot neighbor kids.

That's the running theory right now among friends. I suppose I'm in denial.

*hugs* I can completely empathize I hate when people let my Australian Shepard out because she never comes when she's called unless there's a leash involved. Unfortunately, she likes to hide the stupid leash and thinks the entire thing is a game. She's nearly been hit by cars because of this.

I SO want to move into the middle of no-where to give her more freedom to roam.

Flash is our problem child when it comes to coming when we call. However, we have learned a trick. He would much rather take a ride in the car than run the neighborhood, so all we need to do is get in the car and drive up to him (wherever he is) and he'll jump in.
