Farm Vlog – The Great Rabbit Roundup in a Heatwave

It was 95°F (35°C) in the shade today, which meant one thing: survival mode. We kept outdoor activities to a minimum, made sure every animal had shade and fresh water, and checked on the rabbits constantly to prevent heat stroke. But just when we thought the day would be slow and sweaty, Smeagol—our solid blue rex rabbit—had other plans.

She escaped.

What followed was a surprise round of rabbit rodeo featuring my dad, our Great Pyrenees Tequila, and a very slippery rabbit. Dad tried to catch her. Smeagol squirmed. Chaos. And then, in an incredible twist, Tequila calmly herded her back to Rowan all on her own.

Everyone's safe, hydrated, and back where they belong—but let’s just say it wasn’t exactly the chill day we were hoping for.

If you’ve ever had an escape-artist animal or a farm dog who goes above and beyond, this one’s for you.
