Apologies in advance for the essay now
I've had a puppy pen attached to the front of the shed for about a month now, just to give them a bit more space/ something different during the nice weather- it was on the grass but they began to dig so I moved it onto the patio. The corners and sides had something heavy to stop them pushing it.... or so I thought!
On saturday my sister comes into work (luckily, I only work across the road) and tells me that they had escaped :shock: it was the busiest time of day so I couldn't leave and had to tell her to round them up and back into the shed. By the time I got over, they had managed to get lola in but charlie was giving them the runaround.... literally! It was as if he was laughing at us, he was binkying around! :lol: luckily he gave in and took himself back to the shed.
So, that was the end of the unsupervised pen... until tuesday morning when I gave them breakfast there and (stupidly) went to get ready for work. Half an hour later I go to lock the shed.... no bunny to be seen! :?
I started to panic because I hadn't seen them running about and there's a gap at the bottom of the garden. Anyway charlie was easy to round in but I couldn't find lola anywhere. I had to ring my cousin in work to tell him I would be late, and continued to scour the garden. After 10 minutes of feeling sick with worry that I wouldn't see her again, I heard a noise in next doors garden and there she was. She wasn't coming home without a fight though. I had to knock on next door and ask if I could go into their garden (they haven't long lived there so that was a bit awkward :lol
However, there is a gap at the back of the fence that runs along the whole road, so I ended up in the next garden trying to herd her back home! After nearly an hour I got her. I was so shakey and scared I couldn't get a good grip of her but after a few bad attempts I succeeded :thumb:
I thought the experience would have set her nerves back but she was absolutely fine... the same couldn't be said about me!
On a brighter note, my hutchman play hut arrived and I (and the buns) love it
Like butter wouldn't melt, she doesn't know the worry she caused (although it was my fault)

Houdini (sp?) Himself - as I was trying to catch lola, he almost escaped again. I've never jumped a fence and ran so fast in my life! :lol:

"Oooh mummy, you was tellings me to go home? I thought you was tellings me to explore?!

Yes charlie, it's for sitting on :roll:

And the same to you Lola

Caught them trying to eat something they shouldn't. You'd think I didn't feed them :roll:
