They're not coming back

For quite some time now, we’ve had a little frog living in our backyard against the house. He and Oakley became fast friends. Well, it was sort of a one sided friendship, with Oakley chasing Herman all over the yard. Yes, his name is Herman!

After the hurricane, Herman decided it was his time to find a new home, which left us all terribly sad. Oakley grieved for his friend, but soon there were new habitants. The boys quickly found something new to obsess over. Just after Herman’s departure a little gray haired rabbit, that the boys had chased through the yard several times before, decided underneath our back fence was the best place to have her 3 baby bunnies. Our furry kids went nuts!

They were only with us for a few weeks before they fled, but Oakley and Itchy, especially Oakley, made sure to check on them every time they went outside. They bunnies left this weekend, probably in fear, and we had to sit Oak down and explain to him that his new friends were gone. It’s just so sad to see him sit outside and watch for their return.
