She keeps him coming back...

Generally when Marshmallow the rabbit gets loose in the backyard, pandemonium breaks out. We know he can slip through the gate to the front yard. We know he'll position himself under the back porch, juuuust out of reach. I think he likes to taunt us. Yesterday, someone didn't latch Marshmallow's cage properly and he must've discovered how to push his door open. I don't blame him. When you're stuck in a cage with nothing to do, what else is there but to attempt a jail break? I didn't notice his escape until I'd put Ninja in the "Green Cage" (that's the name of our rabbit run). I'd just secured her in her new day quarters when I spotted the flash of white that is Marshmallow, under the porch. I was about to get angry at his wily escape when a strange thing happened: He hopped over to me. Well, it wasn't really me he was interested in. It was Ninja. She lured him in like a moth to a flame. I hung around for awhile, watching. Marshmallow would hop away to nibble on some rose bush leaves and then bound back to Ninja's cage. She'd get excited and start running circles, at which point he'd ignore her again. Looks like people aren't the only ones who play games when they're romantically interested...! So now I know I can safely let Marshmallow roam the backyard...as long as Ninja is within sight and smell. Because like many gals, she knows how to bring her fellow back!
