A Visitor May 12, 2014

I got home from working out tonight to Decker running up to my car to say that they were trying to catch a bunny in the backyard.  So funny to watch Mike running after a fast little bunny with a blanket...down to the woodpile, behind the blueberry bushes and finally to the stump behind the big toy.  Got him....first time I ever heard a rabbit squeal.  He was squirming trying to get free.  Then we decided to bring him inside, put him in a box, feed him some carrot shavings--because all bunnies like carrots right?  Took turns holding him and after an hour decided it was time to let him go.  Tears ensued...they wanted to keep him forever.  They had named him Spokky and then Peter Rabbit.  As we went downstairs to put him in the backyard.  The boys had one last chance to hold him.  Then he got away...the chase ensued downstairs and behind the couch then towards the sliding glass door...Ahhhh!  Freedom!  Cody then chased him outside in the dark...he could see better though because he'd been eating carrots too tonight.  More tears ensued...hopefully Peter made it back to his momma.  I know I'd be sad if my babies were taken away for someone's pet....

 The boys thought he might like to snuggle in a warm blanket.
