OK, Kids, PG8 material ahead.
Don't read if you don't like the cycle of life. I warned you.
OK, so Nick comes running in the house and is yelling that Coconut has caught a rabbit. Sure enough, I run outside and the little dog has a small rabbit in her mouth. We chase Coconut all over hard trying to release the still living bunny from her mouth. After a few minutes of what must have been a hilarious show for the neighbors, we catch Coconut and I force open her jaws and release the rabbit. Thinking the danger has passed, I hold Coconut and let the rabbit "escape." Well, Cadbury, although he is somewhat fat, can still motor for an old, fat, dog (kinda like his owner). He then chases down the bewildered rabbit, who is small, but moving pretty fast for having just been released from the jaws of a dog (albeit more like a rat than a d0g). Anyway, as you can guess, Cabury catches the poor rabbit and Nick, Sarah and I start chasing Cadury around the yard (again, more fun for the neighborhood). Well, before we can catch Fatboy, he chomps two or three times and swallows the rabbit. Sarah is quite traumatized, thinking that there is no way the Easter bunny is coming to our house now. She might be right.
After all that fun, Nick, Sarah and I had a little fun with jumping and the camera.

Cool jumping pictures. Not so cool story!
Ditto - cool jumping - not so cool dogs & rabbit story.
Poor rabbit and poor Sarah, but the story made me laugh out loud. Coconut may need therapy to cope with Cadbury taking advantage of the situation and not sharing one morsel with Coconut, the original victor. True siblings...or Wild Kingdom in your own backyard. Did you know they had it in them?
Am still hoping the neighbors got their camera out and will be posting video of you all chasing the dogs around the yard on YouTube any minute.
Oh, and cool jumping pics!
Neat photos. It's very hard to get a captured animal away from a dog once they've got it. We're having an Easter Bone Hunt for our doggies on Saturday.
