#7 sounds like a solution for #6.

#7 Sounds like a solution for #6.

ACK! The horrors! Actually, when we walk by the bunnies the dogs don't seem to be too interested. Granted they are on leashes and under my control (HAHHAHAHAHAHA). I'm sure it would be a different story if they were free range and encountered free range bunnies.



Growing up our family dog happened upon a den of baby bunnies. There were no bunny survivors.
