Rabbit Season!

We've started walking Jenny in the morning. The hope is if we burn off energy then, she won't be so amped up the next night when we want to sleep. Thus far it isn't working.

This morning was my first go of walking her. She has had a tendency to run away from me when I try to attach the leash to her collar in the house. I decided I would let her outside first, then get her on leash.


The plan was working. I had closed the door and was preparing the leash when we saw it: down by the sidewalk was a small rabbit. BOOM! off like a shot, Jenny gave chase. The rabbit sprinted toward the neighbor's yard. I reasoned I would never catch Jenny, so I waited to see if she would return. After about 30 seconds, back she came, sniffing the ground and looking energized. My guess is the rabbit went under a fence.

I attached the leash and began our walk. She pulled at first, but we found our stride and enjoyed our ten-minute adventure. No other rabbits dared show themselves, for which I was grateful.

I love you, Jenny, but please be careful when chasing rabbits.
