The Rainbow and the Rabbit

My day started with a rainbow, and has ended with several places flooded on our road because of pouring rain, all day.  Coming home in the dark was a little tricky because there is water across the road in several places and I couldn't really see how deep it was.  Our driveway looks like a stream, and our backyard is a mud-lovers paradise.
Todd's day started out with an encounter with a rabbit whose ear became a fun play-toy for him. Getting it away from him proved to be a little challenge. I chased him through the house, and outside. Corrections and trying to bribe him with a treat fell on deaf ears.  There's no way to catch him; Todd is just way too fast and way too quick!  
Then I remembered 'blue squeaky ball.'  I grabbed it out of the drawer and Todd immediately dropped the ear, and came running to me, anxious for his treasured toy.
I picked up the rabbit's ear and put it with the other one that has also come off...
Oh, did I forget to mention that Todd didn't have a 'real' rabbit ear but one from a garden statue?

  1. Sounds like a typical puppy with selective hearing. :-)

  2. I'm cracking up! I was thinking "poor Kim" having to deal with a rabbit ear mess, and then it was a statue! Those puppies love to keep us on their toes, don't they?

  3. You caught us off guard too Kim! For sure I thought you were talking about a real rabbit! Thank goodness the blue ball was found (mysteriously) hummm wonder where it was!
    The rainbow was gorgeous! But driving through all that high water can be so scary!
    I hope its time for you all to relax for the night!
    Of course Todd- that silly little dog- probably does not know how to relax!

  6. YOU are a shit!

    ;-)

    I'm afraid you've got more rain coming. I live on the side of a hill and I've actually got standing puddles in my back yard. I don't think that there have ever been puddles there! Of course, if it had been snow (which I almost wish) we'd have about three feet!

  10. Good thing you found the mysteriously disappeared ball to bribe him with!

    We are having loads of rain, too, so we sympathize! At least we aren't having flooding like so many places around the state.

  19. I was picturing Todd with a real rabbit hanging from his mouth as you chased him and the rest of your crew chased you! Glad it wasn't as adventuresome as that. :-)

  20. Shame on you! You got me! lol!

  21. You had me!! I was wondering how Todd got the rabbit's ear off so quickly without having the rest of the rabbit!! And then I was imagining him chasing the rabbit through your house.....

    Cute story and cute picture of one of my favorite boys!

  31. Kim,
    HA HA HA you had me hooked line and sinker. I was thinking the poor bunny and how could he have run inside the house with it.
    That Todd sure is a cutie pie.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Too funny! I thought for sure it was alive because terriers are known for such antics. I thought "best of luck" with getting him to stop. He is such a cutie. Love that he came for his favorite toy. I hope you were able to relax today. Hugs today.

  34. You got me!!!!! I was wondering why Kim wasn't upset that Todd ripped a rabbit's ear off :)

    Gorgeous rainbow!

  35. That looks like Todd's "Who, me?" face. Actually, yucky as it would be, at least he couldn't choke on a real rabbit ear.

  37. Stunning photo of nature and her colour scheme, after a downpour.

    The excitement to be outdoors and how we have the essential temptations onhand for their eventual return.

    A delightful post.

  38. Every time I read another Todd story, it brings back that first year when Gracie was a pup. I thought at that time I'd never survive.. lol. (She's lucky she survived!) You gotta love 'em!! Todd couldn't get any cuter!!!
