Yuka had been stalking a rabbit in the backyard for a week, and today Yuka was fortunate, though it seems the rabbit was not. The rabbit had the sense (or whatever it has) to climb over the fence from a safe territory full of grass to a closed area with snapping jaws. Maybe it believed that after so many days they were already friends. Likely, in that minute while Yuka entertained the rabbit, it took a significant beating. Eventually, it squeezed into a crack where dogs can’t fit. Tomorrow at dawn, I will go check if it survived and escaped or survived and didn’t escape. Yuka seems to be spending the night in front of the closed backyard door.
UPDATE: This morning we cannot find the rabbit, nor can Yuka. I hope it’s doing well.
