Apparently, somebody told Pip of the expectation that she’d guard the kiddos pumpkin patch from the rabbits – and anything else with taste buds.
A couple nights ago, I glanced out the kitchen window to see Pip crouched down low, like a cat. I followed her line of sight and saw old mother rabbit standing high on her back legs in plan view.
Pip vs Rabbit
The stand off lasted long enough that Pip went from crouching to laying on the grass. In the end, Pip won the battle, but the war is far from over. Pip 1, Mother Rabbit 0. I’m afraid Mother Rabbit will be back with a vengeance.
Since sissy has all that time on her hands, she can sit with pip and guard the pumpkin patch! Remember we have our order in for the 1st pumpkins this fall!!
