The love between buns in the face of adversity

[MarkBun]

To today was the first day my two rabbits had free roam of the bedroom in some time.  I had been doing a lot of costume work for a local show so my fabric was everwhere and didn’t want a bunch of taste marks all over it.  So I picked it all up, put it away and let them out. 

As usual, I head into the living room while they’re out and about because they prefer to frollick when I’m not around.  I come back in about half an hour later and I notice that both rabbits are back in their condo, standing next to one another, heads together with a piece of long felt under Maryann.  At first I figured she just found a new toy to share but as it turns out, it was actually a wine pouch that had a ribbon to close it and, well that ribbon had found its way around Maryann’s neck.  It seems that the two of them were working together trying to work out some way to get it off – back in the safety of their home.

I had figured that such a thing would have had maryann running around crazy but instead she seemed to calmly head over to her boyfriend to try and work things out.  I did get it off her and check her neck which seems fine, albiet a bit sensitive.  Sorry I didn’t get a pic of it, it was precious but daddy instincts took over to get her free and safe.

Poor Maryann! That’s pretty scary for all of you.
It is really amazing, and smart, of them to handle it so calmly and efficiently. I wonder if wild rabbits who get caught in brambles or other natural things stop and help each other get free? I expect they do.

A pix would have been nice, but not a priority and I think Dono would have been very mad at you on her behalf. That’s love.

Good to hear there were no injuries. Well, maybe just her pride. It made me wonder if perhaps she mistook it for her gun holster. ;o)

It’s funny how you can give them all this space and the migrate back to where they are usually enclosed. The safe haven.

WOW WOW how scary yet touching-but so glad it’s all fine. I’ve always laughed at your stories of Maryann, because it just seems she’s so intelligent. But this one takes the (carrot) cake-she’s one smart bunny!!

Maryann seems to have a lot of common sense so that doesn’t surprise me. Too cute.
