Back before Jelly Roll lost nearly 300 pounds, he said on a <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_1317598\" href=\"https:\/\/radio.foxnews.com\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">podcast<\/a> that Bunnie was allowed to cheat on him because he was fat. Then, she did a whole podcast talking about their open marriage. Then there was another podcast where she cried about him cheating on her even though she raised his kids and helped him get clean.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_1317599\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">All this and I still have no idea if her name is pronounced Xo (like &#8220;Zo&#8221;) or X-O (like &#8220;hugs and kisses&#8221;). Maybe some things are better left a mystery.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Rough day to be Bunnie, though. Not only is she getting divorced, but she got called out by a famous internet troll who goes by the name of Goob. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with Goob, he likes to scan the profiles of fitness <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_1317600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/media\/influencers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">influencers<\/a> and call them out for Photoshopping and Facetuning all their photos.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Well, Bunnie claimed she&#8217;s never edited her photos to make herself look skinnier. And Goob determined that was a lie.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Then, she doubled down \u2014 threatened to sue Goob for using her picture. Unfortunately for her, that is not how the internet works.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Anyway, don&#8217;t sue me, Bunnie.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Enough of this nonsense.

Turns out, it had escaped from a nest in our <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_1317612\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/lifestyle\/real-estate\/outdoor-living\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fire pit<\/a>. So all week long, I worked hard to protect the other bunnies in the nest \u2014 making sure Rocky wasn&#8217;t out there unattended, that he stayed away from the fire pit, that mama bunny was still coming back to nurse.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Well, wouldn&#8217;t you know I left my husband home alone with the dog ONE time, and Rocky slipped out and got the rest of the nest. Bunnies never stood a chance. I gave my husband the cold shoulder the rest of the night. I&#8217;m still distraught over it.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">&#8220;He&#8217;s a dog, Amber,&#8221; he tells me. &#8220;That&#8217;s what they do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">And apparently Gene in the Rock agrees with him, because he emailed me a <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_1317613\" href=\"https:\/\/daysofjay.com\/hasenpfeffer-german-rabbit-stew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">recipe for German rabbit stew<\/a>: Hasenpfeffer.\u00a0This is similar to what my Dutch grandma used to make.

Lucy and Buzzie became best friends. Lucy had a unique herding style. Buzzie mimicked Lucy exactly. When Lucy was working a cow I\u00a0 kept track of where she was because she would go through anything including me to get the job\u00a0done. But she never came close to running over Buzzie.
