For those of you who don't know, Phoenix is CRAWLING with cotton tail rabbits. They are most popular near golf courses, and I just happen to live across the street from, I don't know what hole, of the Ahwatukee Country Club golf course.
Lucca had never seen rabbits before coming to my apartment. They are ALL over the place at night. There is one in particular who seems to favor the area in front of my neighbors apartment, which is just to the left of my front door.
EVERY TIME I try to take Lucca for a run at night, he is so intent on finding the damn thing, that it is a fight to get him to listen to me. When that rabbit isn't there, everything is fine. He sits and waits while I get the bicycle out of storage so we can go on our run. If it is there, he won't listen to me. He'll sit for about 2 seconds, then he jumps back up again. Most of the time I end up chasing the stupid thing away so he'll chill out. That plan only partially works. He keeps looking to see where it went.
This really only serves to remind me that I am not as much the alpha dog as I would like to think I am. ;)
