Meet Diesel Rabbit

Meet Diesel Rabbit:

Diesel faces a dilemma every year which, I'm quite sure, tens of thousands of bunnies face: school is over and he is left quite homeless..... The kids go home for the summer to sleep until noon, eat their families out of everything, beg for the car (if old enough.... or not), spend their parent's money and WHAT? the poor rabbits are left behind. Does anyone think of them? Probably not. And do you know why? Because some family will be suckered  volunteer to take him.

And so, we were that family. But I was happy to have him. No seriously. I was - even if he didn't seem to care for me too much and nearly ate through my curling iron cord, my lamp cord, and my window fan cord. 

The best part? He was housebroken!

But he needed to go outside. I wanted to build him a super deluxe rabbit hutch like this, but instead I opted to use (mostly) the wood lying around in the garage, picked up some wire at Tractor Supply, and built a very simple outdoor pen for Mr. Diesel Rabbit (do you think some redneck boys in that ag class named him?)

So this is what I came up with. It was my first wood project that Mr. Perfect (meant in love when I say these things as he is the greatest guy) and we learned valuable lessons in communication! I only took these after pictures. It took us one full Saturday and we finished by lunch on Sunday. 

It was/is meant to be able to be closed in and have a wintering box put inside but since, in Diesel's situation, he goes back to school in the fall, that will not be necessary!

NOW WHAT???
