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.

At least it wasn't a mouthful of beer that early in the morning ;-)

I have not yet reached that point, Lisa, but any day now....:)

Laurie stewpid needs to pay child support!
That must be why hes in PA. He left little ones
In our yard and myla is keeping watch!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL, Jennifer. Karen made me feel badly about rabbits, but now I don't like him again :)

Laurie I suggest that you either back off and don't do anything to tick off Stewpid or you let the Doods to a meet and greet. Here is an AOL headline today:

Gophers Cause Woman's Death After Digging Sinkhole In Idaho Highway

It appears the cute furry things are organizing a revolt. They want some pay back!  Don't be fooled by that cute little face...be afraid..be VERY afraid!!! 

 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Gophers are much smarter and meaner than rabbits. There is a reason the saying is "Dumb Bunny" and not "Dumb Gopher".

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...we do have a lot of groundhogs, too, but they should like us because my DH saved one when he fell into our window well :) We are now on good terms with the groundhogs.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

OMD....Fudge has already started some holes, so it wouldn't take much to create a sinkhole :) I am going out now to tell Stewpid to stay as long as he wants...LOL!!

STOP. Stewpid had babies here in NJ or maybe great grandbabies. You simply cannot kill him. The first I knew about this was when I saw a hole in the front yard and my son swore the dogs hadn't been out there with him. I wondered what could have dug the hole. Then my neighbor had Luca with her out front and he plucked a baby rabbit from the hole about 2 weeks later. I returned the baby to the nest. It seemed fine. About a week later someone let Luca escape and he never forgets. This ended up with me chasing Luca screaming leave it while he raced away baby rabbit in his mouth.

I got him corralled and raced to get something to pick up the baby who had a tiny scratch on one leg. When I went to return him to the nest I saw at least four more. It was like an episode from the Keystone Kops. Me putting rabbits in the nest while others escaped. Eventually I gave up and I figured mama and nature would have to work it out.

Tell Stewpid I have sent pictures. The baby was just playing possum here and was scampering about when last seen. Please ask Stewpid to put out the word about spay and neuter.

LOL! OMD!! What a scene!! That little one looks so sweet!

The rabbits here are so big that they could probably kick Tara's backside. I think she knows it because she will sit outside and watch them but never approach them. My brave girl.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Tara is no dummy :)

Ricki, Are we really sure this is not another one of F's picture of some dead animal??
