Betcha didn't know Arctic hares can stand up straight!!

When we lived in Fairbanks, the first year was west of town near the airport. It was two blocks from the Chena River next to wild woods, moose and caribou and wolves and foxes, etc. crossing the yard to get to the river to drink and then went back to their habitat.

There also were hundreds of these hares hopping past the edge of the yard, utterly unafraid of man.

Unlike Florida where my two boys spent most of their first years, they were 8 and 9, and Mommo did not caution them to "look out for snakes" (there being NONE in Fairbanks) when they played outside - but "watch our for bears and wolves and moose and caribou" - - and truly meant it!

Sadly, my beloved little mostly-terrier, Shadow, was let out at 10 one night before bedtime, and never returned....hate to think what fate befell him out there.

Maybe Weinie has met him at Rainbow Ridge, though!! Nuzzle him for me, Weinie - - -

I sure didn't. Funny little character.

Oh, that is so sad! We lost a couple of cats that way, one on Christmas Eve. She never came home. I was devastated and swore then and there I would never have another outdoor cat. It's too hard to lose them, never knowing what happened.

That white bunny in your picture is adorably cute!

Having hundreds of bunnies hopping past the yard's edge like you did would be NEAT! We have some little brownish-colored bunnies here where we live, part-time, in the city; they are real cute. Each one has a little white "collar" around it's neck, and beautiful dark eyes. The Lord designed them so beautifully!

Sorry your little Shadow disappeared; I had two cats that happened to in the past, and I never knew what fate befell them. :(
