I like bunnies and baby bunnies, far more than tulips. I don't think I've seen tulips much in Tucson, in our old neighborhood someone was determined to grow rose bushes, but really, in this kind of landscape it's hard to plant flowery things... if we had a garden it would be for vegetables, and yeah, we would probably have to do something about the bunnies-- something non-lethal like a fence buried a couple feet into the ground, probably.
I did forget our dog. He is a nice, non-lethal (usually) addition to our yard. He can't be an inside dog because he got caught after living 2 years in the desert... he has mellowed considerably but house training was impossible... we tried everything, but he was the Napoleon of Poop. We could have sent him to Elba and he would have found a way back to our living room floor. Very proud of himself too, but he is a great little critter...
