Our neighbors have 2 rabbits. They are cute rabbits. They are friendly rabbits. Problem? They are loose rabbits. We planted a garden this week and the rabbits are picking at it. For weeks now I've been trying to catch the rabbits so that we can take care of them. I prefer to either take them back to the neighbors' house to have them pinned up but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. So here's what happened the other night:

Me: I was dressed in red sweatpants, black shirt, no bra, wet hair, and rubber boots. Yes, very attractive. :-)
I look outside and see that the rabbits are sleeping in our other neighbors driveway.
So Josh and I head out to see if we can grab them so we can cage them and either take them to the neighbors house or take them out into the woods, far far away and drop them off. Anyway, we would get maybe within 6 inches and start to bend down to pick them up and they would take off. This went on for about 5 minutes. At this point I'm determined that we are getting rid of them. Dead or alive. So as Josh stands back by the garage, I get an idea. Trust me, it's not a pretty idea. I decide that I will chase them into the highway. Yes, I know. It's horrible. So here I am in my attractive outfit, with a stick and a rock, shewing the rabbits toward the highway....we get to the highway and the rabbits don't budge. So I think this is an opportune time to pick them up. I bend down to grab the rabbit, then I hear: "HEY, IS THAT YOUR GUYS' RABBITS?" As I looked up to see who was yelling, the rabbit took off behind me. The guy yelling was from across the highway with a whole group of people drinking beer watching me. Remember, Josh is up at the garage so they can't see him. I realize they have been watching me the entire time. I didn't even try to explain. I just gave up. So right now, the rabbits are probably enjoying some cabbage leaves, peppers, cucumbers....
