He sat straight up on his hind legs for quite a while. I make sure my yard is free of rabbits before I let Sophie out (my yellow Lab) because she’ll go after them and I don’t want any harm to come to them.

I’ve never been able to get such a nice closeup as yours, though.

with Roddy McDowall? Loved that movie when I was a kid. Long time gone.

Thanks for sparing the rabbit the trauma of being chased!

I remember watching reruns of the TV series probably was on Saturday mornings in the mid 60s. MFF was a book, too.

I’ve always been a rabbit lover and am a big fan of Watership Down, but I’ve never seen any of the movies, I tend to prefer the book over the movie whenever applicable.

I enjoyed the 1978 film version of WD. I've re-read the book several times through the years and read it to my kids when they were in grade school.

I just loved that story. We always read to our kids, too. I don’t know who enjoyed it more! They all turned into good readers. We used to read Highlights magazine stories to them a lot, and the Berenstain Bears.

Nice visitors. Is that your kitty? Good job mouse to camper. The bat flying is awesome, no mistaking that it's a bat. Thank you.

That's the neighborhood cat. I'm not sure it has a home, but I've been seeing it from time-to-time since I moved into the house four years ago. It's a little ragged, but seems healthy. My cat's outdoor adventures are limited to the back deck, which is gated and too far off of the ground for her to escape.

Here's my Calliope.
