     Years ago while lying in my hammock(吊床)and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door

neighbor's 10yearold daughter's rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head

straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.

      The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog

brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it

back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused"．

     Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor's Volvo palled in as usual and out popped

the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away

and screamed: "D－A－D－D－Y!!!"

     Her father, panicstricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to

fence and asked if there was anything I could do.

     Her father less than calmly shouted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's rabbit and

put it back in its cage?"
