I took a few months before they were ever together, but I had to make sure it was done right. The rabbit meant the world to me and there was no way I was going to let anything happen to him. Since dogs are pack animals, they need to know what their order is in the pack. I wanted to be absolutely sure that the dog knew the rabbit was #1 and she was about #4.
One time I put the dog in her hallway, closed the gate and went to pick up some take out. I came back about 20 minutes later to find both of them in there. The rabbit must've hopped in there when I wasn't looking. On the surface, that is remarkable for a dog that does this all day long...

Apologies if a duplicate.
That was pretty hilarious.
A good illustration of my opinion of cats there...fun to watch, and...not much else.
cheddar bob, do you have any video of your English Setter?
There you go, the dog isn't so interesting to watch , but a blast to interact with.
I know I have video of the rabbit, but I'll have to check to see if I have video of the dog. I can tell you that the dog work in that youtube video would not fly around my family.
I can't find the video right now, but if catch Benelli On Assignment on the Versus channel you can see my dog's mom. They did an episode at my family's hunt club in Florida and they did another episode around our yearly hunting season in the UP. The Florida episode airs 9/11 at 5pm, 9/13 at 8:30am, and the UP episode airs 10/30 at 5pm. They're both reruns. Here's a show cap and schedule...

While I'm looking for video of my dog, here's a picture of her on point of the 4th quail she had ever seen...

I guess I don't have any video of the dog working birds. Just video of her trying to sleep and the rabbit annoying her. Not as exciting. If you're near the Flint area you might have seen her on the local news, but she wasn't working birds there either. She used to have a weekly NFL pick 'em contest with the local sports guy.
Great pictures. I would love to see the video of the rabbit annoying the dog if you can bear to post it. It is so hard when a beloved pet walks on. I am persuaded heaven would not be heaven without our furkids so we will meet again some day. I'm sending you a cyberhug. {{cheddar bob}}
cheddar bob, I appreciate the way your dog is allowed to do what she naturally wants to. Kudos to you for that.
I'll peruse the website you mentioned over the 3 day weekend - thanks. If you make any new video in the future, I'd watch it if you posted it on youtube or whatever. I'm not residing in MI.
Sitting here with a 2 month old kitten in my lap
Reminds me of that Johnny Carson moment with Zsa Zsa Gabor -
She brought out her cat and set it on her lap, and asked him if he would like to pet her pu**y.
He said sure - if you move the cat.
Johnny could get away with that sort of humor without ruffling too many feathers. Conan becomes momentarily stumped or "overly" embarrassed once in awhile, and has yet to reach that stature without appearing relatively uncouth. And I'm not yet feeling Andy Richter. I'm hoping. Craig Ferguson is hilarious sometimes. Fallon is cool though, but then I'm also partial to the excellent house band, The Roots
Tangents aside, and back to pets. Anyone else have video [[or photographs) of their pets? Please share.
I'll bite, here is my cat hating Ginger. Doesn't she look ferocious?
That is classic Johnny Carson...crude, but done in a way that wasn't crude.
I'll upload some video to youtube tomorrow.
I bought a tent for the rabbit. It's too bad he didn't get much use out of it because it took me nine years to find one for sale...

East Detroi...I am surprised at you, aren't liberals supposed to be about social liberty?
Here's a photo of my cat-hating dog, a few years ago, when he was a pup. Much bigger dog now, but still good with the cat. My granddaughter's dog likes to nibble cats though.
Very hopeful! I am waiting now for a cat to show itself. All my cats came to me when I wasn't looking for a cat. Next one that shows up, I won't reroute until I give Ginger a chance.

There's an extraneous "fuck" in there, so be careful with the audio.
That is so cute! Thank you for posting it.
