I wanted to share some pictures with you from around the house. There have been some pretty funny creatures around recently!
This first picture makes you think “Awe, isn't he cute!”
Then there's this picture….these little buggers lost the top to my feeder, (I have yet to find it) and are just a little crazy. I was impressed I caught him doing this. Apparently the chair full of squirrel food wasn't enough for them. They also ate through some plastic containers from Home Depot, so I had to replace them with some metal ones.
This little guy was sitting on the railing of the deck one day when we went out there. The little guy must have flown away because he wasn't there later when I went outside. He must have needed a break from learning to fly!
Now this. Where do I start? Chuck and I were in the basement and I heard this scratching noise by the window. Needless to say, I was a little weary to open the blinds and see what was in the hole for the egress window. When I opened it, I thought it was a squirrel at first, but one of those could have gotten out. It was a rabbit. That wasn't real surprising either considering we see them around the house all the time. I think they either live under the deck, or used to.
Well, Chuck and I weren't sure how we were going to get it out. We ended up attaching a string to a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket. We put a slice of apple in there (We think he was down there for a couple days) and put it down the hole. I was holding the string and Chuck used a rake to poke him in the butt to run in there. We thought this was going to take a couple tries…Nope! First try. The rabbit runs in there after Chuck taps him, I pull the string and sure enough, I have captured a rabbit. So we put it on the ground to let him run out and he just didn't want to go. I am sure he was in there eating the apple….or just scared out of his ever loving bunny mind. we tapped the bucket and he went running. One stupid rabbit saved…Check!
