Photoshoot Gone Wrong!

[Rochester Piggy]

Today, in our bedroom, I was taking timed photos with Cali, when I set her on the floor for a few seconds so I could readjust the camera. As soon as she was free, she darted under the bed! I looked under there and didn't see her. I ran like a crazy person SCREAMING for my boyfriend, who was on the couch snoring! I shook him awake and explained... no, screeched the situation to him. I ran and grabbed some veggies to lure her out. When I got to the bedroom, my boyfriend was half under the bed trying to find her, and I kept calling her, figuring she'd hear the call and smell the veggies and come out. She didn't. We started pulling boxes and baskets out from under the bed and found her in a basket of extra sheets... which had gotten peed on. Thanks for the extra load of laundry and the heart attack, Cali!

Seems like my little Steve had the same idea! Had both my boys on lawn and Mo (the good boy he is) let me pick him up and carry him in all fine- even got to pick himself a basil leaf from his plant. All was good.

And then there was Steve. So he's still quite skittish but definitely calmer and I had him (hands around him) and then JUMP. he just flew over my hand and next thing I knew he's behind my rabbit hutch. Now id like to say I got him out super quickly...but I didn't. It took what 20 minutes. Everytime he went one end, I'd turn and he'd be up the other.

I did manage to capture him. Using a box and some quick thinking. And once back in with Mo he had the cheek to demand a treat! !!

There actually was another piece to the story.

Later me and him were doing a photoshoot, when I let go of him for a second and as a joke he crawled under the bed! I just said "Don't you dare GO on anything"...
