This is famous rabbit hunter Diego Lou Mueller. He is watching, waiting, looking, posted for a run at whatever bunny appears from the brush, if one dares... It’s been a banner year for bunnies, because mild and sunny with bursts of rain good for growing things, like whatever greens they and their many progeny eat. The other day this big beast got away from me, because – well, because it’s been over a year since he’s either face-planted me or brought me to my knees, and I just couldn’t do it – so I let go. He dove into the high grass up the road from my house, and – like all of his legs were pogo sticks – bounced up and down and up and down like an animated bunny or kangaroo; I laughed so hard, watching. It really was that funny. He’s a mopsy-flopsy fellow, and this ridiculous pursuit (he did not catch a thing) was just too perfect. Eventually, after wearing himself out in the extreme heat, he came back; such a good boy, such a love. Diego, the great curly haired rabbit chaser, but don’t tell him; he thinks he’s a killer, the big booby.
