This is good.. haha

The San Jose housing market is becoming as tight as the one in San Francisco. My friend Polly, after searching for months, found the perfect place. Family neighborhood, garden/lawn,etc. The problem was, she has a dog, and the landlord specified 'No dogs.' Rather than go on searching, she decided to go stealth, and not tell the landlord about her dog [a golden retriever]. All went well for months. Except for one thing. The family that lived downstairs had a rabbit that they kept in a cage in the garden area.

One day, the father of the family walked into the garden to find the dog scratching at the cage, trying to get at the rabbit. He immediately went to the landlord and complained. The landlord threatened to kick Polly out. But Polly, being quite persuasive and punctual with rent checks, convinced the landlord to keep her and her dog on the condition that that Polly keep her dog out of the garden area. Months went by with no incidence. However, her boyfriend stayed home sick at her place one day. He, not knowing the garden rule, let the dog out. Polly came home from work and, to her dismay, found that the dog wasn't in the house. She opened the back door, and there at the steps was her dog. Dead rabbit in mouth.

Needless to say, Polly panicked. Not wanting to face certain eviction and possible jail time, she took matters into her own hands. She bathed the dead rabbit, blow-dried its hair [OK, she was desperate] and carefully placed the rabbit back in the cage. Natural causes, right? Nothing happened. After an excruciating week, she finally approached her neighbor one morning on the way to work. 'How is everything?' asked Polly. 'We're moving' replied the man. 'This is a sick neighborhood.' 'Why? What happened?' replied Polly. The neighbor replied, 'Some sick person dug up our recently deceased rabbit, washed it, combed its hair, and put it back in its cage!'
