My dad ran himself over with his tractor this year (a few months ago I think) they were harvesting potatoes, tractor was supposed to be in park, turned out it wasn't. Luckily my dad just ended up bruised and had tractor wheel marks across his back. Hopefully you find a new tractor you like. Glad you aren't hurt.

Sorry Ms. Research I figured I should continue my story in my journal so I don't fill up yours, lol.

Anyway the first meeting of the Rat Terriers and Bunny was interesting. The dogs had no idea what to do, attack it, play with it or lick it or all the above. After a few more attempts by my Wife the Rat Terriers seem to like the Bunny well enough but my Wife keeps close watch. We keep the Shepherds out when my Wife brings in the little Rabbit as Chief and Raven growled with my wifes first and only attempt.

You are always welcome on my journal.

Interesting that your Rat Terriers were well behaved around the rabbit. But they (terriers) are more Pet than protector right? Can understand the reaction of your Shepherds. As long as your wife is with the terriers, I see no problem. I'd definitely keep the rabbit away from the Shepherds. They already gave their view on rabbits. lol.

I am so glad to hear you are OK. That would have been terrifying. That is a huge fear of mine, that hubby will tip the tractor. Our farm is down in the holler so everything slopes up from the house. He is getting weights for the front after the garage is done. This summer a neighbor was killed after falling off his tractor and the mower running him over. Hubby quit complaining about the auto shut off on his seat after that. He hates it because with the hills he comes off the seat regularly.

Yes, on my Dads side there are generations of Farmers and though no one has died from tractor rollovers some have been injured, more lost fingers than anything. Its important to know about tractor safety. I do have some spots of my place that you have to work on a hillside and thats one of the reasons I got my Draft horses. Horses don't tip over easy, lol.

Ms. Research the Rat Terriers do actually kill many Rats in our buildings but they haven't gone after any bunnies that I know of as they hunt inside of a building. Now the German's have come to me with a wild bunny in their mouths so I know they wouldn't be good around the pet bunny.

This Orange Dwarf rabbit may be creating a monster in my wife. She is reading all about rabbits now and I fear more rabbits to come. She cuddles that rabbit often enough, what will she do with more put them in her pockets, lol.

Looks like we will have a semi white christmas.

Wow. I'm glad you're ok.

 

[Ms. Research]

Merry Christmas to you and your Wife, 77.

Hope your Niece is feeling good and enjoys what Santa brings.

Well I got the ladies in my life their customary Dutch Letters this morning, they are getting expensive for a pastery. Got myself some Chocolate glazed donuts from the place but they are a bit too sugary and I prefer Dahl's bakery over Dutch Oven's.
