So I'm out re-tarping my lawn furniture for winter after a rabbit chewed the ropes (continued in part 2 of the rant) and we almost lost the tarp in the lastest high winds, when the stupid ropes tangle for the umpteenth time. I know over thirty different knots, have taken courses in rigging and hoisting and I still can't discern exactly what maligant force enters a inert piece of rope (or garden hose) the second your back is turned, causing it to twist itself into the Gordian Knot. I swear the thing is snickering evilly at me as well.
And...
What sort of stupid rabbit keeps living in a backyard that has a dog regularly in it??? There are dozens of yards around mine that have better grass, more hiding places and no dogs! But no, this thing has to take up residence under my deck, drive my dog into a barking frenzy, and chew on my ropes. I am now officially cheering on the dog's efforts to catch and eat the darn thing.
