Oh Hai, I Can Has Wabbit?

The surreal world of pet ownership, courtesy of my mother.

Flower108055: all the boys seem to be adapting to the new food
MuseGrlNYC: what new food?
Flower108055: oh
Flower108055: i forgot to tell you
Flower108055: the vet said that dave is most probably allergic to the food that he has been eating since forever
MuseGrlNYC: oh wow
Flower108055: so he wants me to give him this new food made from rabbits
MuseGrlNYC: wait...what?
Flower108055: made from dead rabbits
Flower108055: rabbit meat
Flower108055: so on the way home, i'm thinking: how can i just give dave this food and not the others - i would have to keep him locked in a room so he couldn't get to the other food dishes downstairs, have a separate litterbox
Flower108055: that's not going to work
Flower108055: so then - duh! - i decided that everyone was going to have to change their food
MuseGrlNYC: so now they're all eating dead rabbits
Flower108055: yep and loving it
Flower108055: has to taste better than that diet food
MuseGrlNYC: that's just a scary state of affairs
Flower108055: speaking of rabbits, our little rabbit is back - the one that eats the grass outside my backdoor every nite
MuseGrlNYC: well, now the cats are going to want to eat it
