Linus Strikes Again

This is a chain of emails I received today from ryan…

we have our first dead rabbit. I don't know how it went down. Murphy had been inside, and Linus was down by the shed running around it like crazy. Then I let Murphy out during my call. I went out afterward, and they didn't want to come up. Murphy was laying down, near the shed, and Linus was kind of prancing around. So I walked down, and about 10 feet from Murphy was the rabbit. I'm thinking it was probably a tag team, unless Linus had already gotten it. But there was no blood anywhere at all. And the rabbit actually felt like it had been dead for a while.

I cannot find Linus anywhere!! I think she escaped. Good thing we have the new tags. What a pain in the ass.

She's underneath the shed and she won't come out. I even have a treat. I think she's scared (maybe that I will kill her?)
She is a pain. This probably isn't the last of it either.

I'm sure that's what prompted her to go in. She's in the corner of the shed with the least room to get out, and she doesn't know what to do. I got a hold of her and tried to pull her fat ass out, but she wouldn't fit. She got a little testy with me, and by a little testy, I mean she treated me like I was the rabbit.
I think she's going to have to figure this one out on her own. Maybe I can get her to come to the other side....

I know, it is pretty funny. No, she didn't break skin.

Murphy is inside with me now, but yes, when he was out there, he was trying to tell me where she was I think. He kept circling the shed and looking around it. She never made a peep, I just saw this hump from the other side, so I went to the side she was on and shined the flashlight, and there she was.

Linnie made it out. I'm glad for her. I felt bad. I had this vision of us calling the fire dept, ya know like when the cat's stuck in the tree :)
