Now see, Carolyn, Sherman has done itnow. I was starting to feel a little guilty and wasn't goingto play the "Territory" game with him ... but he had to go and put mein a trick.
Okay, I told you I always let him run loose whenever I'm in my homeoffice. So I came downstairs to get everything prepped forwork later on that evening and quite naturally I let him out of thecage. For a while he begged for treats (but I was strong

), then he laid on my foot for a while, then he laid next to me, andthen he went to the other side of the room. The last timethat I saw him he was laying against the wall next to the sofa watchingTV.
When I got through prepping everything I turned around to look for him... no Sherman. I called and called ... not even amovement. I got up and looked around, but I didn't seehim. I looked in all of his usual hiding spots ...nothing. I let him have free rein downstairs, so I looked allaround, even places he usually doesn't go ... no ShermanANYWHERE! Okay, it's been about 10 minutes now, so I'm in anear blind panic. I can't IMAGINE where my sweet little bunnyis!!!
I call my husband on the upstairs phone and tell him that I'm nearhysterics because I can't find Sherman! He comes downstairsand in typical logical manly fashion he says, "Now where was the lastplace that you saw him?" I tell him over by the sofa aganistthe wall, that he was watching TV. So ... I start calling andlooking again. My husband walks STRAIGHT over to the wallwhere he was last seen ... and THERE THAT STINKER is looking at himwith the most contrived air of innocence like he's been sitting thereall of the time and he just can't imagine what the ruckus is allabout!!!!!!!!!! To this minute I don't know where he washiding! :X
Now, you guys know that I love this little bunny, but this is one nightwhere I could have strangled him good. I was so scared that Ididn't know what to do! I didn't know if he was trappedsomewhere or had gotten caught up in something. He KNEW, I'mtelling you, he KNEW what he was doing!
So, long story short, if that's the way Mr. SmartBunny wants to play,then so be it. Tomorrow night we're going to play a game of"Territory" and see who comes out thewinner.
