Since it's gotten colder, the bunny's nose, feet and ears have darkened...which is kind of odd, since it's clearly albino (its eyes are pink), so I didn't think dark fur was an option.
At any rate, it's doing great. It has come right up to me a couple of times, once even rubbing its chin on my finger (I found out later that's called "chinning", and it's the way rabbits leave their scent, similar to how cats mark you by rubbing the side of their faces on you).
I discovered that bunnies and chihuahuas don't share the back yard too well, but considering the bunny is bigger, he had the advantage. Still, he didn't like being chased, and when he fled the back yard, so did the chihuahua. Ooops.
I started to panic, envisioning this bunny hauling ass down the street, with the dog right behind him. But the damnedest thing happened: he didn't leave my front yard- he kept circling in my front yard, just out of reach of the dog. I'm calling for the dog, to no avail, wondering how on earth I'm going to catch the dog even if the bunny stays in my yard, when the bunny hops right up to me and STOPS, giving me time to scoop up the dog. I swear that rabbit was telling me, "could you PLEASE do something about this?!"
I'm a little in awe of this bunny. There's something a little magical about living in a neighborhood where we all share a pet bunny who drops by to visit.
