  “Mom, oh no!! How did that happen so fast?”

  The white bunny cautiously moved towards Mom.

  “Come here, Ruby, time for noserubs.”

  “Nope, not happening … not while you are wearing a curtain!”

  Ruby hopped quickly out in to the living room where Daddy was.

  “Hi, Ruby,” Dad said.

  “Dad, come quick … Mom has been swallowed by a curtain!”

  Dad kept on working on the computer.

  “Dad, now!”

  Dad looked at her … he thought she wanted to play! Well, whatever it took to get him in the other room to help save Mom from the curtain.

  Ruby did a binky and charged back into the bedroom. Mom looked OK … now she had shoes on … she must be trying to protect her feet from being devoured by the curtain … how odd the curtain only attacked her from the waist down to her ankles … not much farther and they’d be at her feet …

  Where was Daddy?

  Ruby couldn’t wait much longer … she knew she had to intervene …

  The bunny hopped over to Mom and glared at the curtain. “You can’t have my Mommy!”

  And with that she sank her little teeth into the fabric.

  “Ruby, NO!” Mom said.

  “Mommy, YES!” Ruby argued through her mouthful of curtain … she dug her little feet in to the carpet. She wasn’t letting go till Daddy came in.

  Mom was laughing … must be delirious from the pain of being half swallowed by the curtain … and here Ruby thought the only curtains were in the living room … they sure are sneaky …

  Dad came around the corner and saw Ruby head-butting Mom’s skirt.

  “Guess she doesn’t like what you are wearing … is Ruby a fashionista?”

  “No, I am a curtain slayer!” Ruby said and bit onto the fabric again.

  Mom and Dad were both laughing now … Dad bent over and gently picked her up... she had to let go of the curtain … Ruby tried to hold on to the fabric but she wasn’t strong enough .. oh no …

  “Well I guess I’ll have to change now …” Mom said, seeing as Ruby had managed to put a small hole in the hem of her skirt.

  Dad took Ruby out to the living room and when Mom came out of the bedroom, she was wearing pants. She reached over and petted Ruby … she was thankful her little white bunny had saved her from the curtain.

  FRIDGE FASCINATION

  “Hi, Daddy! Where are we going?”

  Ruby hopped along behind her Daddy as he walked in to the kitchen.

  Daddy gave Ruby a pet on the head and opened the fridge to get some milk for his coffee.

  Ruby sat back in awe … the fridge door opened, a light came on … and there were shelves of bunny treats ….

  “Wow ...” Ruby exclaimed and did a quick binky.

  “Ruby, want some lettuce?” Dad asked.

  Ruby periscoped and happily took the Romaine lettuce. Daddy took some over to Duster and Cola too.

  Daddy went back into the living room.

  Ruby finished her lettuce and happily hopped around.

  A little while later, Daddy was taking his empty coffee cup back in to the kitchen.

  “Wait for me!!” Ruby did the bunny super sprints and skidded to a stop in front of the fridge.

  Daddy looked over and saw her sitting there.

  “One more treat …” Daddy said.

  The door opened and as the light came on, Ruby heard bunny angels singing.

  “Let’s have a piece of carrot.” Daddy said. “But that is all for today.”

  “Sure!” Ruby said, taking the carrot … and Daddy took pieces of carrot over to Duster and Cola.

  Duster munched away on the carrot and Cola looked at him. “Ruby might be on to something with this fridge thing.”

  A few hours passed and Daddy went into the kitchen to get a bottle of water … when he turned around, Ruby was in front of the fridge.

  “Sorry, Ruby, you’ve had enough treats for today.”

  “But, Daddy, the fridge is full of treats. I be there’s even treats in there for you!”

  Daddy went back into the living room.

  Ruby was not amused.

  She stared at the fridge for a bit and then hopped to where the living room and kitchen met and peeked around the corner at Daddy.

  Daddy saw her and shook his head no.

  “This is terrible …” Ruby sighed.

  Ruby stared sadly at the fridge … so many wonderful treats …

  Cola looked at Duster. “I wonder what she is plotting.”

  Duster shook his head and chuckled. “I bet it’s something funny … she is pretty determined to get into that fridge whenever someone is in the kitchen.”

  Ruby turned to look at Duster and Cola, “I’ll get treats for all of us … cause I’m really cute!“
