You Wascally Wabbit!
So the wife and I are expecting to be overrun with bunnies this coming Spring. Our exterminator (who is a real nice guy, says the wife) told her that someone in the neighborhood next door to ours had been raising high-end bunnies in their backyard. They had upwards of 150 of them. However, for some reason, all of these expensive rabbits have gotten loose into the that neighborhood, and ours as well.
Our exterminator said that the cost to trap each bunny is $150. So apparently because of the high cost to trap them, the owners will let the rabbits go wild. All during winter they will be mating and making more little rabbits. These rabbits are worth a lot, so Val and I are thinking maybe we could trap a few and make a few bucks (and hopefully save our tulips). The exterminator guy also told Val that one lady is already so frustrated with the loose bunny situation that she is going to move!
The wife and I were already frustrated with the wild hare we just can't seem to get rid of in our backyard. Seems that hare will seem like an old friend come Spring.
By the way, if you live in the North Georgia area, we recommend Northwest Exterminating. They are friendly, small, and easy to get a hold of when you need to. When the exterminator first came, he told Valerie all about what bugs our plants will attract and how to prevent their loss. He went way over and above his job description. Very classy, I thought.

"So the wife and I are expecting . . ."
. . . yeah I wasn't confused!
That does sound like quite a problem, but if you do manage to make some money from them it isn't all bad. And that one looks very precious.
