Duct Tape

 So when the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.....

Had a good weekend; met up with the family at Blue Mountain on Friday night and pretty much shut the place down; Saturday took G to the Barn Sale (yay, back to normal, sort of) and then off to Nic's elevator friend's for brunch. G tried bacon. And managed his work schedule and rescheduling over the phone while we were there. And then went to work. I say yay.

Yesterday: mass, then off to get beer at my favorite place (and food from across the street) and off to my brother in law's to watch the Italy-England final in the UEFA Cup (Italy won. YAY.) Lots of family time, good for us all. 

THIS MORNING.....THE MIGHTY HUNTRESS CAUGHT A BUNNY.

OMG. Seriously. We make fun of the quadruped because she makes herself out to be a Mighty Huntress (stance, legs astride, ears forward, hackles up), but is scared of everything (like the time she yiped and launched herself sideways into me when a mourning dove startled her at close range).

So prey du jour was a baby rabbit. It's almost always a rabbit. Rarely something else, but if it's within range (i.e. her leash length), she might take a half-hearted lunge at a bird, a squirrel or a chipmunk. She will always, without fail, go berserk at the sight or smell of a rabbit regardless of distance. This am, I didn't see the baby bunny until we were on top of it. It dashed away, and then came right back to the dog, who reached down and grabbed it. The bunny squealed. I screamed. Penny yelped, dropping the bunny, who scrambled off to safety.

The dog, it should be noted, is quite chuffed about her conquest.
