Still, I'm so glad you talked him into seeing reason before he chomped!<br><br>That second photo of the DB (could stand for doomed bunny) is so idyllic and perfect, I had to enlarge it to make sure it wasn't a painting.

I was the first thing he ever saw, and he thought I was his mama. Eventually I released him into the wild. He was very intelligent and quite loving for a rodent!I also enjoyed your previous post on vines.debsgardenhttp://debsgarden.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-16945286655547802932010-03-22T02:01:39.000-06:002010-03-22T02:01:39.000-06:00I watched a squirrel in action last week end raidi...I watched a squirrel in action last week end raiding the fatballs in my bird feeder and I saw those teeth - once my mum had a plastic container for the fat balls and it chewed through the plastic to raid the container so that was a close call Gloria.<br><br>We had a bunny too last year - I think the local moggies chased it in - thankfully it was only in the garden a few days - they do look cute but I have experience of what they can do when they are really hungry.Rosiehttp://www.leavesnbloom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-16685373860647769702010-03-22T10:56:19.000-06:002010-03-22T10:56:19.000-06:00Hi Ted & Gloria!
