...when you have an attack rabbit keeping watch over your new house?

Photo of young rabbit inside of house

This young jackrabbit greeted us this afternoon when we stopped by, and yesterday we watched through our newly installed bedroom windows a cottontail dining on the neighor's lawn.

It's becoming apparent that the Gazette's "theme animal" will have to become the rabbit, in place of the squirrel, once we relocate our World Publishing Headquarters. But, you know, "oh look! a baby bun rab" has a comfortable ring to it, so I suspect we'll be OK with the transition.

Of course, both are preferable to "aiieeee! a grown-up rattlesnake!", which could also be a contender. (Any rumors you might have heard about the construction worker who was bitten by a rattler in our neighborhood while on the second floor of a new house are, in fact, true.)

Jim stole my line. :)

I don't even want to know how the representative of all that is wrong with the world came to be on the second floor of a house...I'd never sleep again. Is the construction worker ok?

Heh...Apparently the word e*ample is a bad one. Let that be an e*ample to each of you!

It's just a harmless little bunny.

Kind of tough on a hardwood floor, though. ;-)

Oh yeah. Many people lead fulfilling lives without their full complement of limbs. (Just kidding! AFAIK, he's fine.)

Leave it to a guy named Brian to elevate the discourse with a Monty Python ref!

That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

Look at the bones!

Cheese louise, I'm either going to have to reconsider our mascot or start charging for comments. ;-)

I like bunny rabbits - but then I like all animals!
