I know that every day Catie wakes up and thinks to herself, “I wonder if there will be a bunny picture on Loafkeeper today…” Well Catie, here’s a picture of Hop just for you.

Bunnies really like raspberries. In this picture, Hop is dreaming about raspberries. If I had photoshop on my computer, I’d have put a little thought bubble above her head that says, “Mmmmmm….raspberries.” Sort of like this (isn’t Andy cool?):

The ducks are working on feathers lately. A few are sporting fancy feather masks while Little Runty is still trying to get her tail and tummy feathers going. Wings are sure to be coming soon. Ducks are pretty lucky critters….they can walk, swim AND fly. They are little web-footed super heroes!

Last night the bunnies, the ducks, the cats, and the people all got a noisy visitor. Around 3am the bunnies started thumping. I woke up and blinked a few times and noticed three cats all peering incredibly intently out our window. I looked outside but didn’t see anything, so I went back to bed. The bunnies thumped some more, and the cats were still staring, so I went upstairs to the bunny room. I looked out the window there and still didn’t see anything, but when I was very quiet I could hear a slurping sound. Yup. Raccoon on the living room porch feasting on bird seeds. I turned the porch light on, and the raccoon ambled a few feet away. I’m not sure why he was on the porch, though, when he had already knocked the bird feeder onto the ground below.

Mystery solved, I went back to bed, worried about the ducks with a raccoon on the loose. Throughout the night I kept hearing fits of peeping from the girls….but it didn’t last long and there were no hysterical shrieks like I’d imagine a duck would make if a raccoon was ripping a leg off. This morning the only sign of the raccoon visit was the empty bird feeder on its side in the yard.
