Rabbits

Day 47: This morning when MaMala let us out Sid and Toirin went crazy! At 4am they were racing around the yard, sniffing and yipping and, eventually, barking. Really loud. THERE WERE RABBITS IN THE YARD! And a great scent trail too. Poor MaMala! She was going nuts since the neighbors probably don't want to hear us singing at 4am. Bridget, always a suck up, went right about her business and went back in the house. Kaya was too interested in eating Bridget's poop so she didn't join. I followed the boys but didn't make a sound. Eventually MaMala came out with leashes and treats. Toirin got caught and taken in. I followed them in; Sid stayed outside for a long time but he did stop barking. Poor MaMala. Toirin never took care of his business outside so he peed in the kitchen. MaMala just shook her head and said "beagles!" while she cleaned it up but you can tell she wasn't really mad. And that she loves us lots even when we act like hounds. Maybe especially then. She let us out again a couple of hours later, before she left for work. I guess the scent lifted because there was no excitement...
