We are a rabbit-rich neighborhood this year. It’s typical for us to see at least one rabbit per yard as we walk our two-mile loop. Fortunately, Emma has gotten blasé about their presence and doesn’t go bonkers when she sees them. Often, she doesn’t notice them but Zippy and I have fun saying, “There’s one there and another over there and two babies hiding by the bush.”
But we don’t have to take a walk or even leave the house in order to see them. There are always (and I mean always) bunnies in our front yard.

The elders are wise and stay in the front where Emma can’t get to them. But last week we spotted one of the youngsters in the fenced backyard which I photographed through the window.
Zippy went out to open the gate so it could go back in front, but it went farther into the back. We kept Emma inside and checked to make sure the little bunny was gone before letting her out again.
Silly bunny. Why go into a space where a dog frequently roams? And why leave the grassy front for the mulch-covered back? And while we’re at it, do you rabbits really believe flattening your ears against your head makes you invisible?
Doesn’t matter. Bunnies are always welcome here.

I am always astonished at the small spaces seemingly large bunnies can squeeze through. Are they all fuzz? Boneless? What?

Yes, it helps that they have very little fear at this point. We can be out working in the yard and they’ll just continue hanging out.

Love the way bunnies sit perfectly still, hoping you can’t see them. As empty lots in our area have filled with homes, our bunny population has decreased. And the foxes in the neighborhood have played a role, too!

Yes, they go into freeze mode. I can only believe the foxes and coyotes are just gorging themselves lately, but the numbers sure aren’t dropping. Yet.
