Today is Tootie’s birthday. She’s one. She’s currently demolishing a file folder in the floor besides me, but it’s her birthday, so I’m just letting her.
The boyfriend is going to cook her a rabbit for dinner. He wanted to buy a live, real rabbit, maybe a lame one, and let her catch and kill it. I told him that was totally fucked up, and that there would be no backyard killings, birthday or not. So he bought frozen rabbit for her instead.
She may get an extra walk or two, also. And a trip to PetSmart for more dog food and maybe a pig ear. But it’s below freezing right now, so we’re staying put. We can play birthday when the sun starts shining a little brighter.
UPDATE: That rabbit was gone in under a minute.
UPDATE #2: Birthday party photos!

Hey. Happy birthday to tootie. Just read the ‘nugget of whatever bit’, where you say that sometimes you think this weblog should die. I hope it doesn’t because I enjoy reading it. Although it’s understandable that if people you know read it, it’s difficult to say how you really feel about things. Ta, bye
Happy birthday Tootie. Enjoy your rabbit dinner.

happy birthday tootie!
Ladybug says, “Happy Birthday.” Glad you did not let K. get the real rabbit. Happy to hear about the washer and dryer as well. It has been a good week for all.
happy birthday to tootie. maybe it’s because i had a pet rabbit that i was a little creeped out by the photos of her dinner but, ia m glad she enjoyed it. and i think K ha lost his mind.
If I’m not mistaken, I think the sun shines just as bright every day. It’s the clouds that get in the way.
Might be a bit late but… Happy Birthday!!!
I’m with yiekes: the rabbit photos were NAAAAAAAAASTY (in my case it was probably because I rarely see rabbits. The stripped down version looked like an alien with its head ripped off). I’m glad Tootie got a treat, though.
Happy Belated Birthday to Miss Tootie! I love her name, by the way.
Yeek! Seeing as the only fur-having pet I’ve ever had was a rabbit, those pictures were frightening.
(by the way, was this the weblog with the anti-other people’s dogs rant sometime back? if so, glad dogs are back in favor… even if they’re eating bunnies, I guess. :( )
It was an anti-other peoples dogs who JUMP UP AND SCRATCH MY CAR rant. Difference.
AWWWWW! Happy belated birthday to Tootie. That was sweet to cook the rabbit. BUT you should have at least tied a string to the cooked rabbit and drug it through the back yard (so that she could catch it). =)
The problem with giving your pet a live animal to catch is it teaches them to hunt and gives them a taste for it. You buy her a real one and she’ll be chasing everything outside (rabbits, squirrels, etc). Even if you are ok with your dog doing that, they are bound to have a run-in with a nasty racoon (who aren’t afraid of anything) or worse yet, a skunk.
You’re wrong Caboozy. Raccoons are afraid of Cyril Sneer.
That picture of the rabbit made me literally jump off the couch, and thereby launch my laptop computer onto the floor. It’s quite compelling.
I ate venison for the first time today too. It’s a wild-game theme! So weird!
Your doggie is too cute! I guess we appealed to the sweeter side - for Pippin’s 2nd birthday we ordered a dog cake. He went NUTS! We need to get the two rugrats together at Shelby Park sometime!
