Sparky gets nothing out of a cold and rainy day.  Until the fire in the wood stove gets going, he intends to lay right here.  If I want to rub his belly, that would be okay with him.

“Why are you staring at me?”

Do you have a mole?

“No.  I haven’t even had a baby bunny in a long time.”

On your cheek.  Look at this photo.  There’s a mole, with a few hairs growing out of it.

“That’s not where moles come from.  You taught me that moles live in the ground and they aren’t popes.” 

Yeah, you’ve learned a lot.  Remember when you pooped in that rabbit hole so they’d give you some baby bunnies?

“I was so dumb.  They just stack baby bunnies behind the wood rack.  That’s so much easier.” 

There won’t be any more baby bunnies for a while.  Let’s just stay warm and watch a Halloween movie.  I’ll make some popcorn.
