Then, a little while later, dad closed the door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What dad doesn&#8217;t want you to know (because he&#8217;s ashamed of it) is that I snuck back into the garage when he wasn&#8217;t looking, and was in there when he closed the door!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I ended up spending the entire day stuck in the garage!!<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t all bad &#8211; the floor was nice and cool &#8211; but it was dark and strange, so it wasn&#8217;t familiar to me. And when would I be able to get out?<\/p>\n<p>Then something <em>really scary<\/em> happened &#8211; the end of the garage opened up wide and this loud thing came in! It came right at me, so I huddled up under the bikes.<\/p>\n<p>Then the loud thing went quiet, and mom popped out of it. OH YEAH IT&#8217;S THE CAR. The thing I hate taking rides in.<\/p>\n<p>After that, dad came rushing out, apologized profusely to me, picked me up and carried me back inside and gave me treats.<\/p>\n<p>I should mention that this is NOT the first time something like this has happened. I&#8217;ve snuck into the bedroom before as well without mum or dad noticing, and they&#8217;ve closed the door and locked me in there by accident. Likewise, once I snuck into mom&#8217;s closet and nobody noticed &#8211; and when they did notice I was missing, they searched and searched and couldn&#8217;t find me for quite a while!<\/p>\n<p>Still, in the end it all worked out OK, but I think we&#8217;ve all learned something from this. Well, dad&#8217;s probably learned something &#8211; which is to always double-check for bunnies in strange places! And I&#8217;ve learned&#8230; um&#8230; that the garage is a scary place, but if you spend all day in there, you get treats?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be going back in there anytime soon!<\/p>\n<p>-Gus<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"128\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/2008\/02\/28\/dads-been-taking-pictures-again\/guss-newer-portrait\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/gus-portrait.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"212,158\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"[]\" data-image-title=\"Gus&amp;#8217;s Newer Portrait\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/gus-portrait.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-128\" title=\"Gus's Newer Portrait\" src=\"http:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/gus-portrait.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Gus's Newer Portrait\" width=\"128\" height=\"95\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gus has a little bit more adventure than he bargained for while exploring the garage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[10],"class_list":["post-676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bunny-life","category-pictures","tag-gus"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/piorD-aU","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
