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.

I'm thinking something like Ima HO'Hare might work too. :>)

Donna, I can see both names for a lovely pair of twin rabbits..LOL!!  Good one!

Not saying bunnies are smart, but around here Dumb Bunny would not be the number one answer :-)  Try a part of human anatomy for that honor.

My DH had a pet rabbit before we were married. It was trained to use the kitty litter box and since my DH is somewhat OCD I can't imagine that it chewed on anything in the house. He loved that bunny!

Ha ha - absolutely not - DD has a large fenced in yard, they have 2 dogs...Stewpid's relatives found there way in while the dogs were out and then couldn't get out the same way it came, so scared it banged it's body on the fence until it started bleeding. The dogs were not even after there as my SIL put them in the house after the initial chase. SIL picked it up and opened the back gate to the forest and set it down. Stewpid's relative sat there for about 5 minutes and then finally hopped off.

Jane, You have obviously never met Fudge and Vern if you think I have the ability to train a rabbit...LOL!! I really think Stewpid should come to live with you, because I think you are a marvelous dog trainer and he needs a much stronger and wiser person than me to show him the ropes. I think Guinness and Murphy would love a rabbit sibling and we could have a contest and name him. I know Joanne loves the name Blarney :)

There you go ........ In your spare time, clicker training for Stewpid! LOL

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Can't wait to read her blog about this!!  Yea, Laurie, let us know how it goes!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Doris, I see a Foster Bunny in your future :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Sue, I can hardly wait to get started...LOL!

Hi Laurie, just be happy that Stewpid is not a skunk, like the one who made his home under my front porch! There are skunks all over my new neighbourhood and walking at night is a huge risk. I have seen several running under cars at  the sight of the doodles and am so worried about the day we come face to face with one. yuck!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

OMD, Sherri. I would hate to hear you or your dogs got sprayed. Yikes!!
