   And that is the infamous bike in the background of the large picture?

   Lovin’ the bunny.

   She’s wonderful! Thank you, Kelsey.

   That bunny appears to have questions.

7. Kelsey Parker on May 27th, 2009 at 5:58 pm

   Disapproving questions, of course.

   Question: The bunny is alive, yes? Not a taxidermical speciman.

   Nina looks just like the Velveteen Rabbit! I knew I had seen her before. And those disapproving rabbits are just down in their cups.

    She breathes! And pees, with hostility.

    A fine looking animal. I like rabbits. A few years ago I was walking my dog in the field by my apartment and, sadly, saw a rabbit’s severed head. No body, just the head there in the grass. It was disturbing. I made dolphin noises, i think. My dog growled. We hurried back to my apartment, and for a while I nervously chewed Juicy Fruit gum.

    I have to admit to being slightly scared of rabbits – well, more holding them – I was gored by a rabbit many years ago! Perhaps an exaggeration, but I did pick up one at my son’s nursery which then removed the skin from my forearm with its back claws, I don’t pick up rabbits any more.

    Kelsey, I forgot to mention how much I like the perspective you have shot this from – I was also wondering if Nina was friends with Bunnicula?

    Grim story! Thankfully, rabbits are effective breeders. So I generally skip the JuicyFruit in favor of imagining that headless rabbit had multiplied before his death.

    Thanks, Phil! When I first adopted Nina, she attempted to gore me on a regular basis. She’s a feisty animal — or so she used to be. Trick taught at the ‘stock: if a rabbit tries to gain the upper hand, flip him over and he’ll be stunned into submission.

    Kelsey, thank you – I hope I never need to use the flipped rabbit technique, but, if I find myself backed into a corner, this may well save my life.
