Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / September 2008

Because it *is* hot sauce.

The whole apartment reeks.

It started when I recarpeted the rabbit condos with Leith Petwerks
replacement rugs.

This was at least the second go-round with recarpeting.

Last time, on one floor in Hubble and Orphie's condo, I used
sticky-backed Velcro to hold the carpet edges down.  What a chore-and-a
half, what a pain, what a time-consuming nightmare -- but it seemed to
work. The carpet stayed in place, rather than getting shredded, bunched,
and stuffed down the ramp hole.

Okay, sweaty hours later, the new carpet is in place, firmly Velcroed
down at all (numerous) strategic points.

Of course, I hardly leave the room before Eurydice and Mr. Smokey
Stewart attack the edges of the new carpet on the condo's top floor.

Hot sauce! What a brilliant idea. Hot sauce is the answer.

I get the largest bottle of Tabasco I can find. It's gone by the time I
finish the edges of one condo floor!

Back out for two giant bottles of Red Devil.

I win!

The rabbits are not tearing up the carpet!

Of course, they aren't going into the condos either.

Geez, I hope the smell evaporates soon. It stinks around here.

Another score in The Rabbits' column. Another defeat for Nona.
