buddy the bunny

yesterday emersyn and i went out to mow the lawn. sampson was outside with us, too. all was fine and dandy until sam decided to chase a baby rabbit and corner the poor little guy. i chased them both down and rescued the bunny from sam's wrath....sam did minor damage, however the little dude was bleeding a little bit. so emersyn and i took him in the house to show jaelynn (who was in 'time-out). jae asked if we could keep him. i decided that we would keep the bunny for a day or two-and then let him back into the 'wild'....

so, we got a big box, a nice tall one, so he couldn't jump out. filled it with all the necessities. you know, water, some grass, a few dandelions to munch on. and we cant forget spinach. to grow strong. i even added a blanket for him to cuddle in. jae wanted to put a diaper for him to cuddle in. i said a blanket was better. :) he had the cadillac of boxes. i kept him high above reach, so sampson couldnt get him.

in the middle of the night, emersyn woke up for some reason, so i got up to get her a cup of milk. when i wandered into the kitchen half awake, i peeked into the box to check on the little guy jaelynn named 'buddy', and he was just sleeping. cute as a button.

i awakend to someone poking at me, 'mom, mom'.... i roll over. pull the blankets over my head, hoping i can disappear. once again. 'mom, mom.' this time, i growl out, 'what jaelynn.' 'where is the bunny?' pause. 'huh?' i say. 'where is the bunny. he isnt in the box.' pause again. i pull back the blankets. sh*t. i jump out of bed to check out the scene. surely hes in the box. there is NO way he could have gotten out! i look in the box-and hes gone. wtf?! i begin a frantic search thru the kitchen for the bunny. no where. in my room. nope. i continue to look in every possible nook and cranny to no avail. no suck luck. it is now 10:45 pm and i still have not found the bunny....great. this means-if he dies in my house-it is not going to be a pleasant smell. :/ i mean, where could he have gone? and how did he get out? i mean, i know hes a bunny and they 'hop', but this box was quite tall. there is no way sam could have gotten to him so i know it wasnt him.

leah's wedding is this weekend, very exciting. meghan and james fly in on saturday, i cant wait! my sisters are all in town, so thats fun. and the weather is looking favorable. yay.

i ran out of gas today on the highway. never done that before. oops. i was actually on the top of the exit ramp of the exit i needed to get off of....if i would have gone about 100 more yards, i could have made it over a hill and coasted down the ramp to the gas station at the bottom of the ramp.... thats what i get for riding my gas light...
