Very good. We like to play along as he flits from buttercup to buttercup – "There you are! No wait, you've disappeared again!"
I have friends who farm cattle in Pembrokeshire. There was once a cow they called Secret Squirrel, who fancied herself a bit clever that way. You don't really appreciate the width of a cow until you see one attempting to hide, nose-first, behind a birch sapling.

I had loads of rabbits as a kid, with imaginative names like 'Snowy' (I had 3 of those, over the years), Smoky (guess what colour) and Blackie (there's a big clue there). I loved looking after them, I really did.
But some friends now have rabbits ('for the kids') and seeing the poor little buggers locked in a hutch (rabbits, not kids, although they do get our for a run) I was a bit whelmed (not overwhelmed, just 'whelmed') by a sense of cruelty... I couldn't have one now... same with caged birds... coudln't do it.

Am hijacking this thread to post occasional updates on 'my' rabbits.

Lovely photos of runny babbits.
I think that watching wild rabbits would be much more rewarding than keeping one bunny in a hutch.

This afternoon we were held hostage. The grass was in need of mowing (a huge waste of time, it never fails to grow back), the rose bushes pruning back from their explosive state. However, it was made clear we were not to disturb Him. Secateurs remained locked in idle, the mower silent, as the clock ticked away the sunlight.
Finally He disappeared. We raced out and completed our respective missions. Now it is dusk and we await His return.

Chased off a sleek and healthy looking fox yesterday, which is a change; they usually look starved and hunted
I know they've got to eat too. Just wish they could live on the many vegetarian options around here.

At 1 time I had a male rabbit and female guinea pig. My dad built a brick enclosed area for their bed and a bricked up run for them so they had plenty of room to run around. Their home was constantly covered so no other creature could get in. When I cleaned them out he was not allowed back into the bed until she had got it organised. I would love rabbits and guinea pigs again but I don't have the time

Schrödinger's rabbit: The act of observing disturbs the observed. If you're too noisy about it, that is.

The observed now doing the observing. So he's basically like a watchdog.

Meant to say: thought that previous bunny might have been a Heisenberg bunny rather than a Schroedinger's one.
Also: just found one has dug a hole in my front lawn for the first time since we moved here 8 years ago, I WAS RIGHT: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/bunnies-everywhere-have-i-turned-into-bishop-brennan.175191/

Old physicist's joke:
Heisenberg and Schrödinger get pulled over for speeding.
The cop asks Heisenberg "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Heisenberg replies, "No, but we know exactly where we are!"
The officer looks at him confused and says "you were going 108 miles per hour!"
Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries, "Great! Now we're lost!"
The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if the two men have anything in the trunk.
"A cat," Schrödinger replies.
The cop opens the trunk and yells "Hey! This cat is dead."
Schrödinger angrily replies, "Well he is now."

Sad day in the beebo house, both rabbits are missing, presumed dead.

to your daughter, I have kept many over the years and I know how attached you can become to them.
