Rabbit, Perfect Circle, Blackie, Thelma, and Louise






With Yeti gone, the rabbits have returned and patiently await Kobae leftovers.

A single blade sprouts from the earth and with the assistance of the wind create a perfect circle of Desert Art.

Linny and Tom haven't seen Blackie, Thelma and Louise for two days, but on a hike with Kobae, to the Catacombs, there they are.

They arent caged or herded back at night? Nothing will eat them?

For the first six weeks or so they stayed 24 hours a day in their pen. They got food, water, and corn they especially love. We let them out one day and it took hours to herd them back in. Since then we leave the gate open and they return most nights or at least every other day. Got coyotes but don't think they are big enough to take them down.

We fill up their water every third day or so and they have hay and corn. They know there is always food and drink there so they return pretty much at least once a day. We don't always see them, but we see their tracks and they are fresh of the day.

How far have they gone? I mean they must go out the driveway and go off.

I usually see them out by the front sign or over towards Doug's but this time they were half way to the Catacombs, so probably two miles.

Heather said...

Oh ok. I think they are going to get too comfortable and take off. I guess not if they get hungry enough.

They eat everything, but corn and water are special and hard to find. They were back in the pen today. The've had about two months to take off so if they wanted to, they would.

True. Guess their stomachs always lead them back to home.
