How Big Is Your Hare?

I made my first sale today on Craigslist and I didn't get robbed or murdered. Both apparently have happened. The lady that inquired about the bunny hutch and asked if I would deliver it was the lady that bought it. I had her come out and look at it before I took it to her just in case she didn't want it after I go to the trouble of taking it to her. The hutch is partitioned off so there is room for 3 rabbits. She only has one, so I told her she could cut out an opening in the partition and the bunny could have access to the whole cage. Of course she asked if I could do that. Being the wonderfully nice person that I am, I made the cutouts for her. I took it that she was a single mom and I doubted that she had tools. She was really nice, so I was happy to do it. When deciding how big to make the cutouts, I asked her how big her bunny is. She says; "Oh, pretty big...probably about 25 lbs." Her bunny must be as big as Nicholas. He's not much over 25 lbs. I had her look at my bunnies to maybe help her gauge the size. She thought her bunny was bigger than mine. So I made the holes pretty large just to be safe. I couldn't wait to see this 25 lb. bunny. I delivered the cage and I was pretty happy that it didn't fall out of my truck. We got everything situated and she says; "There's my bunny." He was 25 lbs. alright, minus about 20 lbs. Definitely the size of my rabbits, maybe smaller. So she doesn't know her weights and measures very well. I don't know Geography very well. We all have our strengths. I never mentioned the bunny's weight just like I didn't mention the fact that the bunny didn't look all that healthy. You can tell by the eyes. Her eyes didn't look so good. All sales are final. No refunds in the event of death. That's just my policy.


PS: On my way to deliver the cage, I rescued a 45 lb. snapping turtle from the road so he didn't get hit. Ok, he was 45 lbs. minus 40.

For Sale

Don't people know how to negotiate a sale anymore??? Aside from the guy that wanted me to let him make payments on the car I have for sale, I have a guy that emailed me and asked me if I was out of my mind. Really? That's how you start a negotiation? He asked me in his email how I came up with my price and don't I know how sales are in Ft.Wayne? "No moron!" "I just want to sell my car." "Make an offer or shut the hell up!" He ends his email with: "but I'm really interested." So he insults me but he's really interested in buying my car. I emailed him back. "If you are so interested, then make an offer." You f---ing hill jack. (sorry, I just can't bring myself to type the f word.) I didn't include that last part in my email even though I really wanted to. I have been showing such restraint lately.

I also put an ad on craigslist for a bunny hutch that I made. It's too small for my gigantor bunnies. I got an email from a lady that seemed really interested. She wants it delivered. Really? Am I Sears? I think I'm just going to keep all of my old stuff. Dealing with the public is too much of a headache.

Bunnies For Sale

I still have the three bunnies that Bryan and I picked up at an Amish farm. They've gotten really big and not to friendly. Toby hisses at you if you try to pick her up. I can hold Daisy and Happy, but if they think they can get away they scratch you to pieces trying to jump out of your arms. Their toenails are like razors. I could never let any of the kids hold them which sucks because that is why I got them in the first place. It looked like Easter the other day when I looked out the window and saw all of the bunnies running around the yard. The wind had blown over their hutch and they all escaped. I figured they would all be long gone once they tasted freedom. They must like it here more than I thought because they all stayed close. I trapped Happy with a box. Toby trapped herself by running in to the open tipped over cage. Daisy was being more difficult. She was hiding under a pine tree and I couldn't get close to her. When she did get out in the open I tried to catch her with a hammock. The hammock was the closest thing to a net that I had. That didn't work. I put out a live trap, but she wasn't having any of that either. In the morning she was still hanging around by the garage. I corralled her into the garage with the help of Bear and them I closed the doors. After Bear wore her out I was able to get her back into her cage. Anyone want some cute pain in the ass bunnies?
