As I'm standing at the kitchen sink, I peek at Dakota (100lb golden retreiver) as he is blocking the path to the sliding glass doors... of which Nicky is trying to get in... I yell at Dakota to knock it off... Nicky is an indoor cat, but he likes to just go and sit on the deck and/or hop down to the pool area and roll around on the concrete.. I don't ask.. I just acccept...
Anyhow, I hear hear the vertical blinds slamming around.. and yell at Dakota again... I then out of the corner of my eye, see Nicky, run under the kitchen table and into the dining room with "SOMETHING really big"??? With Dakota bounding right behind him!...Let's see if I can get this in the correct order of events...
I scream, then drop the VERY LARGE heavy pan in the sink(water is still running)... somewhat skittishly follow Nick, to see what he has...C is running around "It's a RAT! It's a RAT!" I start yelling at the damn cat which what does he do??? Nick drops the thing and the damn thing is now LOOSE!!!!! Now, it's dark in my dining room.. and I am trying to figure out what this thing is from AFAR... Because, I don't dare step into the dining room, to turn on the light.. HELL NO! That's a wild animal in there... Nick chases it to the corner.. and under the chair.... I go screaming up the stair to wake my husband(well.. he really didn't need waking .. what ... with all the yelling coming from downstairs).. so I start yelling at him....b/c "RABIES... OMG!!! RABIES!"... So. hubby comes downstairs, and in the mean time... Nicky gets the animal again.. and I yell, dammit if that cat didn't let him go again... which then the BIG VARMINT, ran across into the living room.. which hubby then slowed him down w/ a laundry basket...(note to self - who the hell left an empty laundry basket in my living room?) .. which the critter apparently can morph itself, b/c it then squeezed through the handle and ran into another corner.. Fortunately, the animal is NOT smart.. and wherein the light..able to see that the hell it was... a lil bunny..
which now lives happily back in the woods... I have to go change my pants now...

Oh, it's so cute!!!!! I would have wanted to keep it as a pet. But then again, it wasn't an angora bunny and therefore not really useful.
I shudder to think what Nicky might have done to it.
OMG! That is the most excitement I've had in awhile. Wow. And thank God it wasn't a rat! Lordy. OK. I have to go read it again, now that I'm not so scared about finding an awful ending. OK. Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
That's not a squirrel?
NO.. it really was a baby bunny(no big fluffy tail - just a short pom-pom type..) course.. still a wild animal inside the home!!!! some folk deem as cute.. I got issues w/wild animals in the house...possible cuteness aside...
