Mr. decided to plant the tulip bulbs in the planters this year - as opposed to in the garden. We have too many bunnies (cute!!) and deer (cuter!!) in the yard who believe the tulips are planted for their culinary delight. Any treatment sprayed on the tulips, hosta etc., to keep the said creatures away, well, they just think it's salad dressing.
Mr. is quite pleased that this plan appears to be working, and the bunnies and bambis seem to be staying away . . . [ insert ominous music here ].
I'm guessing that the deer won't come this close to the house. Must mean the bunny living under the deck can jump! Bet Mr. didn't know that.
Another sure sign of spring - the Easter Retriever. Who should be doing a better job of keeping that darn bunny away. The thing is, she'd rather play with the bunny - especially now with the matching ears and all.

Hmm. The Mister didn't know that bunnies jump? Hmm. I worry. ;)
My new favorite breed... Easter Retriever. A.dor.a.ble!
Planters...great idea for tulips! We have a major bunny and deer problem, here, too.
Our bunny enforcer would much more efficient if left in the yard to do his job.
Love the ears!
I'd send Holli to help, but unfortunately her mean side only comes with other dogs. Rabbits would probably scare her half to death. She was scared of a foot-tall snowman one day. A non-moving snowman that was half her height.
Luckily the bunnies leave our plants alone and the deer don't come close enough. The dog looks so cute in her easter bonnet!
You know the other dogs in the neighborhood are laughing right now, don't you?
What a good sport! Wonder how long they stayed on his head...
Damn bunnies. My neighborhood is overrun....I'd rather be overrun by Easter Retrievers.
I never realized tulips were that tasty. Course after a long Minnesota winter, anything green is probably tasty.
I wish our bunnies would stick to just trimming lawns.
Oh Holli. THe Easter retriever is on alert! And adorable.
Ive planted lettuce for the rabbits......perhaps if I give them their own greens they will leave mine alone!
The bunnies can stand up on their very-long hind legs and reach into containers - they become verrrrry tall. Also - had this discussion with a vet last year. The local fox populations has been on the downswing with a loss of their natural habitat, causing a boom in the rabbit population. Rabbits are flea-farmers and because they live so closely to domestic animals, this has caused an increase in flea outbreaks in domestic animals!!! Keep an eye on that Easter Retriever!
I am told that covering them with chicken wire should keep them off but who wants to look at chicken wire when we can see the bunny snacks :)
The Easter Retriever -- priceless!
