Aww, looks so soft and fuzzy, like my Kitten of Doom. Did it purr while you stroked it (with a big ball bat)? :rage:

After you hit him with the ball bat? Or, at least after he was humanely neutered?

What a hunter you've got there Braden! :greenthumb: There's no way my dogs could ever catch a rabbit, they are too fast.

The rabbit population in my canyon has taken a major hit this year due to the coyotes. When we first moved in 4 years ago we had coyotes running through our property and in the adjacent canyons, yelping and yipping it up all night, every night. After a few months of us walking our 4 dogs around the open space canyons near us I think the coyotes decided to yeild their territory to us and seeing and hearing them became less and less fequent; maybe only once every few weeks. Well, after three years of that, the rabbit population exploded! Everytime I turned on the light to the yard at night I'd see at least 20 rabbits. They were everywhere! I guess the coyotes decided that our canyon was way too delicious to stay away for any longer and in the past 6 months or so they have moved back in and we see and hear them every night once again. Now when I turn on the light at night I haven't seen a rabbit in months. I bet they've knocked the population back by at least 75%. :greenthumb:
