Briar Rose
I got a call at work recently asking if one of my rabbits had escaped. I said 'I hope not!' and after work went straight to the local garage, where they had captured a pretty English female rabbit found wandering along the road. So needless to say, she came home with me and has found a friend in Beanie bunny. I have named her 'Briar Rose' as my little wild rose was flowering at the time, and she simply 'appeared' from the hedgerows. Unfortunately she is still in a separate pen, although they have contact, as she is a bit of an escape artist. I got home from work one night and and my husband Steve said 'I just saw a white rabbit hopping down the bank!' Cue an hour of getting to know parts of my garden that I really didn't want to know that intimately! Beanie was easy enough to catch as he often comes for walks with me around the garden, but Briar did not want to be re-caught. Eventually we let her calm down and cornered her, and she simply jumped back into the carry box she is living in temporarily. If only she had done that an hour earlier! I am just grateful neither of them escaped for good as I would have been devestated. Soon they will be in a wire-bottomed run together!
