They even thought they&#8217;d be &#8220;nice&#8221; and take us out on the grass (in the shade, under a tree, right next to the house where it&#8217;s safe).<\/p>\n<p>Gus went first, and like always he played the part of the &#8220;good bun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"gus and keith - a perfect picture of a bunny and his daddy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/keithius\/4672603927\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1304\/4672603927_0c6da087f8.jpg\" alt=\"gus and keith - a perfect picture of a bunny and his daddy\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ugh. Just look at him, acting like it&#8217;s not so bad. But I know better&#8230; I saw his legs shaking when he came back in. He tries to play it like he&#8217;s a rough, tough bunny that&#8217;s not scared of anything, but I know he <em>was <\/em>scared and didn&#8217;t like it either!<\/p>\n<p>Next was my turn, and I didn&#8217;t want to go. I thumped and ran around when dad came to pick me up, but he and mom were playing together and managed to corner me quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Then they took me outside, and not only did the brush me, but they trimmed my matted fur on my underside. <em>How dare they!<\/em> All around it was a horribly degrading experience.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; I got the last laugh this time. In contrast to Gus playing the &#8220;good bun,&#8221; I always play the part of the &#8220;bad bun.&#8221; So, dad was trying to calm me down so he could keep brushing me, and I was sitting in his lap. I did <em>not <\/em>want to be out here anymore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>So I peed on him.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dad quickly moved away from me and said (in a sort of surprised and confused voice) something about a warm feeling against his leg, and he very soon realized what I had done. I was then quickly brought back inside and left alone for the rest of the day. <em>Mission accomplished.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Take that, dad!!
