Stewpid is Back!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

About a year ago, we had a rabbit named Stewpid coming into our yard on a daily basis and reeking havoc on my life.

Stewpid was causing me sleepless nights because my dogs sensed he was out there and they wanted to meet him personally.  I said some pretty mean things about Stewpid and even plotted his demise at one point.  He wasn’t the first rabbit that had come into our yard, but he was the most persistent.  One of his friends wasn’t so lucky one day when he met Fudge and let’s just say he left the yard via a shovel.  Even that, didn’t scare off little Stewpid or cause him to get so mad that he said to himself, “I am starting to sense that rabbits are not welcome here,” because he just kept coming back. 

Then one day, as suddenly as he appeared, Stewpid was gone and I assumed he met Mrs. Stewpid and left to travel the world.  From time to time, other DK members swore they saw him in their yard and over time and with more sleep, I began to hope he was happy living somewhere else.  Well, guess what?  The little guy is back and by himself, which means Mrs. Stewpid probably dumped him when he said he wanted to go back to boring PA.  I am sure she is probably whooping it up somewhere like Vegas with one of those handsome, magician’s rabbits, who spends his nights under the bright lights getting pulled out of a hat.  Fame and fortune is hard to resist even for a rabbit.

 

I know it is Stewpid by the way he sits in the yard in full view of our windows and turns his head from side to side when he hears the violent barking of two Doodles coming from inside the house.   He twitches his little nose and his ears perk up, but he never moves.  He is probably thinking, “There is that weird sound again.”  Yesterday, Fudge actually moved my furniture when she airlifted off the sofa to get a better look at Stewpid.  I hate to say it, but if it comes down to Stewpid or my sofa, it’s been nice knowing you, Stewpid.  If this keeps up much longer, I am anticipating needing a new foyer window as two large Doodles break it in an attempt to welcome Stewpid back to the neighborhood.

 

I really want to settle this amicably, but when you are working with a dimwitted rabbit it makes the going hard.  So, today, I am posting an eviction notice in our yard and I hope Stewpid can read or else I am going to have to resort to drawing a rabbit with a large red line going through his body and pray Stewpid makes the correlation. 

My only other option is to draw a tombstone with "R.I.P. Stewpid" on it, but I am really hoping it doesn’t come down to that.  Stewpid, take a chance.  Surely, there is another rabbit out there for you and we have a beautiful state park nearby where I am sure you could live happily ever after.

Laurie - are you SURE that this isn't Son Of Stewpid? 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, I can't be sure, because he is just as dumb, but he sure looks like Stewpid :) Maybe....who knows....LOL!

I think Mrs Stewpid is in Ohio!  We have the same problem here.  We've had all sorts of problems and at least one Vet visit where Sophie had to be carried to the car and into the Vet because she took off after the rabbit and forgot she was on the flexi leash!  Needless to say it wasn't good when she hit the end of the flexi!  DH was actually heading to the pellet gun section of the store the other day!  I drew the line there as I'm not a gun person.  We have even tried trapping so we could relocate but Mrs. Stewpid seems a little too smart for that!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Maybe we can chip in and try and reunite them in Vegas :) I hope Sophie is ok!! I just go out and yell at it to leave, because I am pretty sure Fudge could catch it and I don't want to see that happen.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Stewpid is as stewpid does...I hope he gets your messages to leave, Laurie, but don't count on it.  He's having too much fun torturing you and your doodles!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Doris. I told him how nice it is around your house, so maybe he will come for a visit :)

[Sue & Lily Grace]

Gee, Laurie, you sure have an interesting life. At least stewpid did not come back with the Ms and all the little kiddies. You gave me my giggles for today. Thank you. LOL

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

You are welcome, Sue :) Yes, I guess it could always be worse...LOL!

".. let’s just say he left the yard via a shovel" ROFL!!!

Why can't I remember not to read your discussions with a mouthful of coffee?

Tell Stewpid that there is a haven for rabbits in Illinois.  It is protected by a fence and the only dog in America who really doesn't see them when they hold very still.

I do think God played a dirty trick on rabbits. I mean, bad enough to belong to a species with a 90% infant mortality rate and the distinction of being the number one choice of entree for almost every meat eater on the planet that runs or flies, but to have your entire arsenal of defense consist of holding still and praying that they can't see you is just no fun at all.

Anyway, since my yard already looks like a still frame from a Disney movie, Stewpid might as well come live here so you can get some sleep. :)

 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you, Karen. I am getting him a plane ticket today :) LOL Now, I feel a little badly for Stewpid!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Every time I'm tempted to feel sorry for rabbits, I look at the big dirt-filled holes in my yard and the feeling goes away very quickly.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL.....I can't blame the rabbit for the holes in our yard. I have to blame a little chocolate bunny Doodle.
