I have some sad bunny news. Shortly after writing about the bunnies, I noticed that Russell-the-rabbit was missing. I named the baby bunnies Russell + Hazel. Hazel because that was the name of the lead rabbit in the book Watership Down, and Russell because everyone who knows their local luxury paper and organization goods knows, Russell always goes with Hazel (Russell+Hazel in Edina).
Anyway, so Russell seemed to be missing and I feared the worst since Russell and Hazel did not appear to be the brightest, savviest bunnies in the world. Hazel was out all the time though and seemed to have lost her fear of me which was kind of fun since she would hop right up to me and she was adorable.
You will note, gentle readers, that I am referring to Hazel in the past tense. This afternoon I found poor Hazel's remains and I suspect that Schnuffy-the-devil-cat had a hand/paw in the evil deed. Yesterday while I was in the backyard, talking on the phone with Mary Jo, Schnuffy was tracking Hazel but I didn't think anything came of it...but it appears I was wrong.
I don't know why I didn't think Schnuffy was capable of taking down a very stupid baby rabbit since she has proven quite adept at taking down mice, and she's vicious with most humans. Still I was surprised...and saddened. Sure, I didn't like that the rabbits were eating my garden, but they were so darn cute and I liked having them around. Poor Russell and Hazel.

That is kind of sad. Do you think Schnuffy knows how you feel about her and is using Hazel to send you a message?
Everything Schnuffy does is malicious, I think. I mean, heck, the urinating hasn't really worked - you still seem to love her. So Schnuffy has to take it to the next level. Secretly, Schnuffy feels unlovable and won't really feel that all is right with the world until her feelings are affirmed. The rest of the world is there, but no... not Tess and Ian. She will just keep upping the ante...
So SAD!!!!!! Bad Schnuffy!! I think Schnuffy felt threatened. . .
