Sitting there most mornings under the tree in our front yard as I leave for the pool, the hare looks quite contented and very tame. He doesn't even lope off as I get into the car. "This is my lawn," he seems to say. "You're an interloper."
Wondering what the difference was between a "hare" and a "rabbit", I consulted the dictionary a few minutes ago. Seems the "hare" is a larger version of the "rabbit", but to my horror I learned they were both..........."of the rodent genus". Yuck! No wonder not everyone out here thinks they are as cute as I do! No wonder Canmore trapped and neutered thousands last Fall.
I don't think I will ever think of our resident hares the same way again. Cockroaches and rats will come to mind.
On another note, I am so impressed with Angelina Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy so her kids will not lose her too young. How very brave.
