One of the wife's rabbits broke its back. She, however, didn't accept the reality of the situation and thought I could just whip up a bunny wheelchair (yes, they exist) and everything would be fine. Nevermind that it had to have it's bladder squeezed dry every few hours, needed constant pain medication, and was bound to have numerous other related health problems. So I'm in the doghouse for having it put down. Guess I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

How does a rabbit go about breaking its back?

Rabbits are good eating...

<Hug> for Kecibukia. That was a tough decision you had to make, but the right one.

Get her a new bunny.

Only if done right. I had some absolutely terrible rabbit at the food court at Versailles once.

You have a computer in your dog house?

Damn man, what the hell is happening? When I find meself agreeing with Deep?

I would have knocked it on the head and had it for dinner.

Apparently, it's not uncommon for them to do so when they get exited and start hopping and twisting.

Ouch.

Well, it was the only thing you could do, really. It would have been much more cruel to leave it in that state.

Although a bunny wheelchair sounds kinda cool...

Cook her a nice dinner. Here try this...:D


RABBIT WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

1 medium onion
a 3-pound rabbit, cut into 8 pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 3/4 cups chicken broth (13 3/4 fluid ounces)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves



Finely chop onion. Pat rabbit pieces dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep large heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and brown rabbit pieces on all sides in 2 batches. Transfer rabbit as browned to a large bowl.
In skillet cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by about half. Return rabbit to skillet and add broth. Simmer rabbit, covered, until tender, about 40 minutes.

Transfer rabbit to cleaned large bowl and boil sauce until reduced to about 2 cups. In a small bowl whisk together 1/4 cup sauce and mustard and whisk mixture into sauce. In another small bowl stir cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water and whisk into sauce. Simmer sauce, whisking, 3 minutes, or until thickened. Whisk in remaining tablespoon butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Return rabbit to skillet and cook over moderately low heat, turning rabbit to coat with sauce, until heated through.

Serves 4 to 6.

Have none of you ever encountered the fearsome beast that is a woman attached to an animal?

You have a computer in your dog house?

After you spend a good deal of time there, you start making it a bit more home-like.

No, I think he meant what he said...

In fact, your sentence made less sense than his did.

Hehe shit it's late , I'm a little drunk, and I am dyslexic!:p

Yeah, what's 'owt' supposed to be?

Yeah, what's 'owt' supposed to be?
That's Northern speak, that is, by gum it is!

Edit: It means 'nowt', or 'nothing'.

Owt a Northen term meaning anything(as in the word) Derived from Nowt, menain nothing.(the word that is)

¿Qué?

¿Qué?
lol, well in the context, it means the same thing, depending on if you prefer the double negative or the positive.

That's Northern speak, that is, by gum it is!

Edit: It means 'nowt', or 'nothing'.

I would of course disagree, Nowt and Owt are two differant words.

Example: When asked by the police what the witness saw he replied 'I saw nowt'(I saw nothing) Or he replied 'I did not see owt'(I did not see anything)

Yes that both mean the same thing in that context, but Owt means anything, and Nowt means nothing. I dont have owt against him, or I have nowt against him.

Don't worry - I find myself agreeing with The Nazz about once a day, and I have to go wash my feet.

If Crule is a reference to the comic book charactor.Only in the morning before coffee.

I shall bow to your superior knowledge of Northernish, as I am a Southerner through and through. I know not of your strange ways.

Yeah, what's 'owt' supposed to be?

Aught.

Nawt is naught.

Naaa it's my misspelling of the word crule!

...It's not a misspelling of crule, that much I understand.

Aught.

Nawt is naught.

See, those words I get.

Heh same here, but I used to live up North.

so you dont raise rabbits for food then eh?


is your wife often so completely wrong about something that is so important to her? why would anyone want to sentence a rabbit to that kind of life? its unspeakably cruel.

if you just drop the subject she may be reconciled to the situation by tomorrow. if not, *shrug* well youre the one who married a nut.

if you just drop the subject
I think that would make her even more upset. She'd probably prefer that it had a proper burial.

No, show and pets

Most likely. She still likes to believe the fairy tales that everything works out well in the end. She read on some rabbit forums that some people keep them healthy so she hoped she could.

I'm also the one that hangs out here. That says alot.
