This week we had a really funny bunny thing happen.
Jill’s phone rang, “I am stuck in the bunny pen.” Jill was busy and she knew I would get a big kick out of this. “Lauren is stuck in the bunny pen. Would you like to go let her out?” Immediately the mischievous instinct took over. I say to Wray, one of our employees, “Lauren is stuck in the bunny pen. Would you like to go with me to let her out?” You should have send him grin!
We hopped on the golf cart to go 100 feet and drove past Kevin and Rich who were working on the side of the warehouse. We spread the news. Lauren is stuck in the bunny pen. You want to go along to let her out. Away we all went with big grins and wise cracks forming in our heads.
There was talk of just leaving her there for a while. Rich said he could bring her water and I offered her a pillow but after some good ribbing and empty threats we let her out.
The latch to the pen is tricky. This problem has happened before. If you go in and shut the door too tight it latches and there is no escape. So I rigged up a cord and threaded it through the wire and put a big ring on it so that it would not slip back through the wire and lock me in when I was using it for chickens. The problem was Lauren shut the door and it latched. When she tried to open it by pulling the emergency cord, the cord broke. She was stuck.
Oh dear Lauren, you sure gave us all a good laugh in the midst of a hard week. Thanks for the good laugh. This is the end of my funny bunny story.

I had the same problem with my chicken house and recently changed out the latch so it can’t lock me in!
