Going "Wabbit" Hunting

Today I Went "Wabbit" Hunting, As Elmer Fudd Would Have Said


Unfortunately, Alec's leaving tomorrow morning (at like 5:00AM) and this will mean that it's the end of all our awesome adventures. So what can we do to end this whole epic journey? We can catch an animal.

Right after school the whole gang (Alec, Lina, Raymond and I) started the long drive to the Richmond Auto Centre. WOAH. WHAT? Bunnies at the auto centre? Well, it's true. There are a fudge load of rabbits there. Somebody just released a few of them there and pretty soon before you know it, you've got a huge population of about several 100 of them. Just amazing.

So here's what went down. First we got there and I got my first look at a wild rabbit (although these things are fed regularly by the staff there). We saw several of them, but we were aiming for a baby one (they're much easier to catch and tame). After driving around the centre, we found a cute little baby brown rabbit. So Alec tries to bait it with crackers.

I have to say that he failed. But then again, all of us did.

So the second time, Alec made a noose to try and catch the rabbit.

Still didn't work. We finally got to the point where the rabbit was so scared of us that it was unwilling to take our tasty bait (some salted crackers) and hid under the cars (one of cons of hunting for one at an auto centre). Alec went off across the street to try and capture one of the two rabbits that were there and the rest of us went to the other side to to feed and attempt to catch one (that's us there in the picture).

Pretty soon Alec gave up on the two and he joined us. All of them were too smart. When we would throw a full cracker at them to keep them occupied, they would either just run away when they saw the box or just take the cracker with them.

But after that, we lost hope. We were essentially exasperated on how hard these cute and fluffy bunnies were to catch.

That's when I went in solo. Well, it was actually only just Alec and I. We crossed the the street to another place where a little baby rabbit was grazing. It ran away two times when I made sudden movements with my hand when throwing the crackers and hid in the bushes. But fortunately it came back.

Third time's the charm they say.

And I guess this was the case for us. We finally caught a rabbit. Alec leapt from its behind and managed to get the box over an completely oblivious animal. So now what?

We were going to slide the lid under, but the lid was one of those types that had tall sides to it. So it made it impossible to slide under. So what did Alec do? He attempted to catch it with his hands. He lifted up the box and by a stroke of luck it ran right into Alec's hands. He grabbed it and flipped over the box. He placed it inside the box and we quickly closed the cover on it.T

On the ride home with the rabbit, it stayed still. But we were coming up with a name for it. For a while, it was named Richmond, then Richy, then Squeaky. We finally came to an agreement with the name of Lucky.

So now it's name is Lucky.

We got home, ate dinner and set up Lucky's home.

Well, we actually went to a fancy seafood restaurant first and then we went to PetSmart.

Welcome home Lucky.

Brilliant Day


I'm definitely a 10 today because I got an awesome new friend. I can't wait to play with it, but I wish that Alec wouldn't have to go back to the States. Anyways, thanks for reading, please subscribe and I'll see you next post.
