"Why do weenie dogs kill baby bunnies?"

I wasn't sure how to answer Jack's question. And quite frankly, I wasn't in the mood to come up with something clever after finding Lu-Lu with baby bunny #2 yesterday. Thankfully she "dropped it" when I frantically screamed the command usually saved for forbidden items of the inanimate sort. After a week of protecting the poorly planned (in the backyard of two ferocious hunters)hole [hutch?] from two dogs, a three year old, and husband with a weed eater, I was pretty frustrated to be holding this little dying bunny. Back inside, Jackson was still waiting for an answer (he was actually referring to deceased baby bunny #1). I rattled off something about instincts...which of course led to more questioning. "Because God made them that way, Jackson," I finally said. "Oh, Okay." And that was the end of it.

We enjoyed the company of our friends Andy & Allison this past weekend. They brought their dog Oscar who was a ton of fun. Here are a couple of pictures...
