Wabbit Season

Not sure if it was mentioned in a previous blog post but this spring we had some rabbits take up residence in our back yard.  Well to be accurate they actually lived somewhere in the next door neighbours yard and visited frequently.  It's been cute to watch them zip through a small space in the fence, so much so that Kaedo got to leaving them small garden offerings (lettuce) in the opening.  Well it would seem as though our cute cuddly Grover has a bit of a killer instinct as the other night he must have caught the rabbit off guard and pounced.  When I went outside to check on Grover he was hunched over something that looked like one of his stuffed animals but when I got closer he thought I wanted to play a game and picked it up and ran away.  At that point I knew it was one of the poor rabbits and by the time I caught up to him and pulled him aside the rabbit had expired.  Needless to say Kaedo was a bit upset by the turn of events and we were shocked that Grover could move that fast.  In his defence I would like to believe that he was just trying to play with it but regardless we have started referring to him as Elmer, the difference being he actually caught the rabbit.

Here is the aftermath:
