Crickets and Buster Bunny

Um, about the book we won from Skeezix. We were so excited after we caught some crickets for Jan that we decided not to wait until Halloween to surprise her. We put the crickets in a plastic container and wrapped it up with the book.

She unwrapped her present and seemed a little interested in the book, The Reality TV Handbook. Until she noticed something move in the container. She popped the lid and then popped a screech that was probably heard in the next county. Our ears are still ringing and since Samaritan is the tallest and he was sitting right beside her, he's still a little deaf in his right ear.

Needless to say, she threw the container across the room and let all the crickets out. We tried to catch them but they disappeared under the baseboards.

Maybe it's just as well. She could never catch enough bugs on her own to support her appetite. She'd probably have had to join the Cricket Bucket of the Day Club, which could probably run into squillions of dollars and we certainly couldn't afford to support her habit. Neither could she.

But, personally, we think that's a very rude way to accept a gift. We put a lot of thought and effort into it. She could at least have tried one cricket.

We met the cutest little blind Irish Hare bunny who lives in -- who would have guessed? -- Dublin, Ireland. He... actually they finally learned he's a she ... was found sitting in the road when she was a tiny leveret. Stop by and meet Buster.
