Re: Since we are on id'ing and stuff....

It is the year of the rabbit - first time I've ever seen one in my
garden. He was back last night -Sugar ran him off though - ha! You
should have seen that thing run. Sugar's a big cat and fast for her
size. He didn't realize she's on a tether.

Look but don't munch!!
