C.<p>I have a George story.</p><p>For those who came in late, George is our very large and very dumb house rabbit. He's a mutt, brown with one lop ear and one erect, and weighs somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8 kg - 17 pounds. We haven't weighed him in a long time, because he's not a fan of being picked up, so it's stressful.</p><p>Anyways... last night I went to give him a treat before I went to bed. He has one of those flat-packed wooden cottages that you fit together with tabs and slots, and generally overnights in it. He's generally in there some time before I go to bed.</p><p>So I got the treat, came to the cottage, and called him as usual. He was in the cottage in the opposite direction of his usual way - and even though there are entrances at both ends, he couldn't figure out how to get out... 🤣 He kept trying to turn around inside the cottage, and he's too big for that.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/dumb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dumb</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/bunny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bunny</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/rabbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rabbit</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RabbitsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RabbitsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pet</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HouseRabbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HouseRabbit</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FlatPacked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlatPacked</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FlatPack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlatPack</span></a></p>
