Trans Canada Neighborhood Rabbit Highway

Man Kind which is kind of a funny term, since "man" hasn't been the"kindest" to both each other and animals, has begun to learn in the past 100 years or so that we don't own the earth. I mean not everyone agrees with this idea, there are a few groups out there that think God created the earth for them to use and abuse as they wish. Because it is easier to group them all together then name them all and it seems in today's society grouping people together is a bit of a fad in this story we will call them idiots. Us who aren't idiots understand that we need to as they say "take only pictures and leave only footprints". When we travel to the wilderness we need to remember we go there because it is wild and scary and is full of big and small furry animals.
While the big scary animals can cause you more body trauma, do not take lightly what small rodents can do to you. As in chew through baggies and eat your nuts, your cadbury candy bar and other assorted foods that will drive to tossing small pebbles and cursing their rodent ancestry. Do not worry that these curses will drive rodents such as the lemmings to suicide, since we all know that lemmings are not suicidal though they were portrayed that way in a 1957 Walt Disney Film. Sure it is totally OK to make mice out as your friend but when it comes to a cute little furry lemming he makes them out to be some furry suicidal terrorist. It's because lemmings are Canadian I am sure of it.

I digress as you can see in the above pictures you see the same trail with first a guy and his dog walking on the trail and soon after a bear and her cub. These photos were taken by a remote controlled camera so don't worry that anyone died in the taking of those pictures. What is shows is man and animal need to live together to survive. Or that man better learn to walk really fast so that bear doesn't catch up with him.

I trying to not belong to the group we have labeled the idiots found these tracks outside my house this past week. As you can see by the pictures, it is a trail or as I like to call it the trans Canada neighborhood rabbit highway. These rabbits probably for hundreds of years have traveled this same path to somewhere else. I am not sure where they are now traveling too unless it is the local 7-11 and even though the Canadians are a liberal bunch I doubt if they serve rabbits. Unless it is for dinner.

But this is their trail. I have heard stories about how grizzlies take certain trails to get to their water supply or to traverse a hillside. If there is anything that falls on that path they will move it out of the way. This unfortunately happened to a couple who decided to put their tent on one of the trails and well we all know how that ended.

So I now have this trail in front of my house. My fears are the they casing the joint, I mean is it a herd or gang of jack rabbits who are doing hop bys? As you can see by one of the pictures I have evidence that at least one rabbit hopped by my dogs window and taunted Stella. Oh sure when I told the police they didn't take me seriously and started asking me a bunch of questions about when my visa was up, but I am sure they were just joking with me, cause you know Canadians are a pretty funny group.

But I worry. What if I am walking to my car at the same time as these so called furry and friendly rabbits are coming through. Should I run? Should I fall down on the ground and play dead? If I run should I climb up a tree or are these rabbits that can climb trees and with their sharp little teeth take me out? Should I see a therapist about changing my meds?


Here is a picture of someone who didn't
take rabbits seriously:

These are serious questions that I will continue to worry about and investigate. Some of you might be laughing now but some morning you too will wake up and find yourself faced with the dilemma - am I an idiot or not?
