It’s 11:48 PM on a drizzly, foggy, moonless night. You’re in the living room clad in PJs and snuggled under a blanket guiltily re-reading a Crichton novel.
There is a knock on your front door.
Do you answer it?
I wouldn’t!
I’d call upon my 3ft tall, 15lb Jack ‘attack’ Rabbit to bounce (or is that pounce?) the interloper!
Why a Jack Rabbit and not a guard dog? Well aside from the fact karma assigned me indenture service to these fuzzy creatures (age 3 I cut the ears off my bunny BooBoo, long story), my Jacka$$ Rabbit can run at speeds of 40 mph and throw a hell of a back-spin chest kick! And of course, there’s always the element of surprise. How would you react if a long-eared hare answered the door?
Sure, a service contract with ADT would ensure my husband would receive a call as I’m being tied-up and gagged. But he’s in another city working for the week. How could he help? So he puts his trust in our hot-tempered fluffy friend to keep me safe while he’s away.
Trips to the grocery store can get pricey: 3lbs of Dandelion greens, 10 bushels of Kale, 1 pallet of carrots (tops included). And the wooden furniture legs take a chewing.
But you sure can’t beat the security (not to mention the lessons in power squatting) that my wild Jack Attack Rabbit provides!
