The One that got away

Why Hello my friends! I'm back again! Two posts in one week!! Wow! (for me!)

Now on to a sad note

So after feeling cheered up from my feeling ill and poorly and getting a good bargain, I came home to find, that my naughty littlest boy had pulled off the wire fencing from our gate, and hence our bunny rabbit, Georgie Wiggles escaped. 

I eventually found him, or rather his body, by the side of the road. 

So when my eldest boy got home from school, we had a little funeral for him and laid dandelions on his little grave (his favourite things to munch besides all my flowers I liked that he had munched already) 

I will miss the sparky little thing. 

I know Rabbits don't exactly have a personality. They don't DO much in the way of entertainment or amusement, but he did have a very cheeky side to him, nibbling on my sunflower seedlings whilst keeping a shifty eye on me, and then pretending it wasn't him when I noticed! 

Or the way he'd stay nice and still, waiting until you were a hairs breadth away from picking him up.. and he'd hoppity-skip away, letting you chase him all evening, or getting wet in the rain! 

We'd taken to letting him roam the garden these past few months. he kept escaping from his run, so since he seemed to behave himself we just let him roam. He loved hopping after Charlie the cat, every time Charlie  stalked across the garden, Little Georgie-Wiggles would skip on over to walk with him, like a little brother following his big brother asking

 "where are you going? can I come too?? Please?? i won't get in the way,I promise!"

"Psst, Hey! Charlie Cat, Let me out! G'on I'll show you some lovely lettuce!"

My hubby looked his little body over (he works in an undertakers!) and he couldn't determine what he had died from. He didn't think he'd been hit by a car, or attacked in anyway as there's no marks on him or broken bones.  We can only guess that perhaps he got too cold in the rain last night. On rainy nights he would hop back to his hutch or nestle under our Magnolia tree between the Ivy and next door's wall. He'd seem quite content there and would put up quite a chase if one tried to catch him. 

Such a shame. I will miss the dear little thing. 

My Boys were sad but not too upset. I think Hubby and I were more upset really. We do get quite soppy and attached to these little creatures! 

I don't think we shall be getting another Rabbit. Although I did say that after the last one died,(of old age) and hubby came home a week later with this one! 

I think maybe a guinea pig next time...or just be content with our Charlie Cat. 

Personally I would like Chickens or a Dog. but Hubby doesn't want a dog, at all, and the chickens are a "maybe one day" thing! 

Well, I can't leave you on such a sad note now can ?, so I shall leave you with a glimpse of Georgie Wiggles' roaming and nibbling grounds, My garden.

Bye for Now!

Take Care
