i have this weird truce thing with an army of rabbits...my garden is unfenced and twenty yards from the house...i lost all of my peas to young rabbits until my pits cornered one inside of the yard...they had just began to tear it to shreads when i snatched it up from them by grabbing its neck. i shook it once, really hard, ready to toss it back to certain death and happy dogs when i saw the look of sheer terror in its eye....i held it across the fence and shook it once more and was like 'all of yall stay the fuck out my garden' and dropped it. he hit the ground, tried to get back into the fence, realized his mistake and bound off across the yard to the woods...my female pit was looking at me and the woods like "i dont..i dont understand this.."..that was two months ago...now, i can stand in my garden and watch the little fuckers frolic in my nieghbors garden. they are leaving my shit alone (i just knocked on wood)...i think sparing the rabbits life and him going back and spreading the word and me doing my best to piss a thirty foot property line every night (it aint easy as sounds) is keeping them and a really dumb deer out of my shit.
