Heads or Tails Tuesday

I am bit late on making this post but better late than never.....The theme/prompt for today, April 21, is:

TAILS - "Once upon a time"

Once upon a time there was a dog named Bert. Mighty Bert as he is known to most is a soft, gentle and playful dog. Bert's day usually consists of waking up...being let outside to do his business....he takes a walk around the property surveying the area and then shows up at the back door waiting for breakfast.

Well this morning Bert surprised us. Bert went out for his walk....not long after I see Mighty Bert coming down the drive....but what is that he is carrying....I take a closer look.....oh my goodness he has a rabbit in his mouth! A rabbit....well I can't imagine Bert chasing and catching any of these rabbits they are just to darn fast...and although Bert still has a lot of spring in his step, I don't think he has enough to catch a bunny.

So there he is with this bunny in his mouth and he is trying to find a place to burying it....he finds a place..and I watch him curious to see what he is going to do and to just observe his antics..... he finds a spot and begins to dig and digs some more... he puts the bunny in the hole and starts to cover it with his nose. I figure that had to hurt him as with Berts Lupus his nose is often raw. Once it was buried he moved away....but not for long. After awhile he obviously didn't like where he had buried it so he dug it up..and took it to the end of the property to bury it there....didn't like that spot either. So he brought it up to around the house....by this time hubby was watching as well, Bert by this time had put the bunny down....at that point hubby went and got some plastic bags and disposed of the bunny. The End.

If you would like to join in on the fun please check outHeads or Tails created by the one and only Skittles.

Bert looks like a great dog ... poor bunny ... and so close to Easter (sniff) ... maybe that explains how Bert got him, though ... he must have been tired from all the deliveries ... these things happen. Happy HOT!

I could picture all of this happening. Dogs can be so silly.

You told this story so well. Bert is such a beauty. I also feel sorry for the rabbit but that's the cycle of life I guess.

A great dog tale! Cleverly told.

I wonder what it was about the burying grounds that bothered him! Animal behavior fascinates me although I feel really bad for the bunny too

Is that Burt's outdoor campsite? :)
