She always glows pink so you can disguise the fact that she's always feeling blue

My mother planted some young trees in her side yard last weekend. The overgrowth of rabbits afflicting the neighborhood has since eaten all but two. She is very upset, especially since they have also eaten her strawberries and her tomatoes, seemingly impervious to the usual safeguards. I made a temporary shelter for the leafier, less gnawed of the two survivors tonight and may return over the weekend to construct a more permanent one. Needless to say, I also spent some time yelling and driving rabbits out of the yard. They were astonishingly unafraid for something so plump and delicious.

I do not understand, if one can rent goats to clear one's lawn of poison ivy and other weeds, why it is not possible to procure foxes for similar purposes. Wanted: one vixen with plenty of hungry kits to feed. Offering: attractive side and back yard with overgrown ravine suitable for denning, gratitude and admiration of nearby humans who will maintain respectful distance, all the rabbits you can eat. Please respond by moving in at your convenience.

(I am all in favor of breeding the endangered New England cottontail back to a stable population. The invasive Eastern cottontail is eating everything my mother plants and I think about Hasenpfeffer.)
