Ben's an indoor/outdoor bun. Right now he's outside on the deck sunning himself. But he can't live outside--we're in black bear country and rabbit hutches are easy pickins for hungry bears.
He has free reign of about 60% of our house. He's litter box trained, and has his daily routine. He's a very smart bun. I couldn't eat Ben no matter how hungry I got.
I have never lived in bear country, but my parents do. My dad thinks a black bear got one of his dogs a few years back. We deal with the deer and such in these parts, but thankfully, there are no major predators here (but some greenies are trying to get wolves introduced for us to deal with!).
“I couldn’t eat Ben no matter how hungry I got.”
I understand, that’s why my dad told me to never name anything that wasn’t a pet. Ironically, I still name my favorites in the group. :-)
