Friday night we saw the Nutcracker Ballet.
Saturday night we celebrated Christmas at a friend’s and I wore the elf hat and gave out the presents. Yes I did.
Sunday night I was chasing Dog #3 around in a foot of snow in the back yard trying to get her to drop a dead rabbit so I could scoop it up into a laundry basket with a large blue plastic bowl.
I was throwing hot dogs and chicken all over the snow to try to get her to drop it and then I’d throw the laundry basket on top of said rabbit and stomp my foot on the upside down purple basket like I’d just reached the summit of Mt. Everest, screaming “AH HA” before she came lunging back — only to realize I was no where near the bowl or the trash bag. Again. And again. Finally got snow, dead rabbit, laundry basket and bowl into said trash bag and flung it over the fence to wait for trash day. On Thursday.
I’m doing this all running in the snow, in the dark, shrieking at the dog and throwing and scooping and tossing a dead rabbit and household utility items — while my kids are warm inside with their hands over their eyes and their fingers in their ears.
And who do they feel bad for?
The bunny.
December 17th, 2007LOL! Of course. My kids would have as well.
December 17th, 2007Yeh, the little bunny!! Poor little thing.
I must say movies of this would be great!
Does this happen often to you?
December 17th, 2007oooh poor bunny
That’s what you get for having crazy dogs.
Now, if you had a pet bunny, like I do, this would never happen.
(although yesterday the cat did lick his lips when the chinchilla jumped out of my daughters arms)
December 17th, 2007This is hilarious. I can’t get the visual out of my head of you running around in the snow!
December 17th, 2007Ugh, I’ve been there. But with a mouse, not a bunny. You have my sympathy. So does the bunny.
December 17th, 2007Hilarous! What an event. The dead bunny sounds a little icky.
My daughter danced in the Nutcracker over the weekend, by the way. She was awesome!!!! As a child guest dancer in the Moscow ballet! Guess I should blog it some time this week.

December 25th, 2007Funny — I inadvertently played the same game with our dog just yesterday. I was playing outside with her, trying to tire her out, and she’d grab whatever was handy — a stick, a leaf, a piece of siding that’s been abandoned in the yard by the guys who are working on our house — and I saw her pick up something and toss it excitedly. Afraid it might be more home-improvement detritus, I crept closer, and discovered her hoarding a deceased mouse.
yuk.
