Lost and Found

Sometimes we would let Guster out of his cage and let him jump around the yard. He looked so happy and he always stayed right by our house. I guess we left him out too long and he got curious because when we went to go get him, he was gone. Conrad was with us so we tried to sound happy so that he wouldn't panic. He was so cute because he would yell "buddy" and look all around for him. It was dark when we were looking so we thought we would look in the morning. Conrad cried as we drug him inside because he wanted his "buddy". It was so sad.

The next couple of days we tried looking all around, Ransom even knocked on some neighbors doors. Still no luck so we made missing bunny posters. The next day Ransom got a call from someone and she said the bunny was in her yard. Throughout the day he got more calls so we knew the general area of where he was. When Rans got home from work he tried to go get him, but he jumped right behind a bush. We tried a couple other times to get him, but he was happy with his freedom so he would jump into hiding when he saw us coming. Every time we pulled up to the house Conrad would cry for his "buddy".

Ransom decided to gather up some little neighbor kids. He assigned us each a spot for us to go so that Guster couldn't get to his hiding spots. This time we actually grabbed him right off. I think the little kids were disappointed that they didn't get to help at all. Conrad was so happy to see his "buddy"again. -Katie

Yep, great ending for your story. Bet you were all happy to have him in your arms. We had a rabbit when we first moved to the farm. We eventually let him out of his cage to live on the farm. He lived for several years and burrowed under our shed.
