Dexter the rabbit

It's seems like my last few posts begin with me apologising for my lack of blogging. This one should start the same way. But you know what?...This time I refuse to say sorry. I haven't blogged for a while...so what! Get over it! Deal with it! Find some other blog to read! I don't owe you anything! Now with that said, let me get on to blogging.
Over the past few weeks a couple of rabbits have taken up residence in my backyard. Not wild rabbits but pet rabbits. They were first discovered one Saturday morning when my sister Aimee was about to leave for work. She came rushing back inside to say that there's a rabbit out the front. Erin and I went to check it out as Aimee drove off to work. Sure enough, there was a white rabbit hopping around in the front yard. Now being somewhat of an animal sympathiser, I wanted to help out this poor rabbit and it's most likely distraught owners. Erin, on the other hand, was all ready to head off for a morning at the market. So off we walked (Erin trudged) up Springfield Rd knocking on doors to see if we could find the rabbits owners. No luck. I wasn't content to just leave the rabbit. I thought we should make a sign so if the owners came walked by tehy would know where to find the rabbit. After much persuasion I realised that there was no more I could do now off we went to the market. We returned later to find the rabbit still hopping around, now in the backyard. Erin went home so I decided I would go on a mission to find the owners. I knocked on a door a few houses down and...jackpot! I found the owners. Much to my dismay, they didn't seem to perturbed that their rabbit had escape. The lady grabbed her husband and they came down the road to catch this wascally wabbit. Of course the rabbit was too quick and agile for their feeble attempts. So they left it to enjoy the lush pastrues of my backyard. I decided to call it 'Dexter'.
A few days later I noticed not one but two rabbits hopping around. Dexter had brought his friend along to feast in the fauna. As it turns out, the people down the road have two rabbits. So Dexter and his unnamed friend lived in our backyard for a while. I decided that since they have moved in, I should make friends with them. Dexter seemed much more comforable with my presence than the other one so I endeavoured to feed him. I managed to get close enough to give him some carrot. I held my hand out to him as he sniffed it. I seemed fine until out of nowhere, he poucned! Dexter leaped at me with a grunt and tried to attack me! I thought we were friends but I guess not.
About a week later the people from down the road came equipped with a net, blanket and a couple of boxes. I watched out my back window as they comically chased the rabbits around the backyard. Apparently Dexter is actually a girl named Lily. The owners tried and tried but were made to look silly but the nimble rabbits. Eventually after Dexter ran under the neighbours fence, they gave up. I haven't seen so much of the rabbits lately but they still visit from time to time. The other day I saw Dexter hopping down the footpath on his my to visit my yard. I have grown to like them and enjoy watching them playfully pounce around the yard. I don't have to feed them or care for them so it's a perfect situation. If they were wild rabbits it would be a different story, but these ones I like. Especially Dexter.
