I'm sorry to hear about your dog.
Most dogs eat poop, they just do. Someone told me it might be because they don't get enough meat in their diet but I find that information highly dubious.
Also, running some electric fence will keep unwanted rabbits out.

Our property is too big for that.

I forgot to add, get a second dog. It often works best to get a younger dog to accompany your older one, for several reasons, among which are that it gets you an unbroken cycle of dogs, it lets your older dog have a companion, and it lets your younger dog have an example to teach it how to behave. Plus two dogs are better than one when it comes to policing your yard.
We have a second dog, a Chihauhau. The rabbits are bigger and he was adopted as a "City" dog. Thinks grass is an afront to his dignity. Besides, those rabbits would kick his tiny little arse.
Wife is done with pets after raising kids and animals for 20 years. Storm will pass in a year or two and the Chihauhau will likely be around about another 8 years. If I could find another shepard like her I'd do it, but she is one of a kind.

Wow, I can buy an AR-15 at Walmart with less hassle than it took you to get a pellet gun. Where do you live?
Hey..it's Canada, what can say?

Few things here:
1. That story was frigging hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
2. I'm sorry for the financial expenditure so far. That really sucks.
3. Concept of getting a sidekick puppy to learn off the one you have is a great idea. Pass the torch early.
4. Dogs eat crap because they use crap to mark their territory. Getting rid of the "competition's" crap is a way of saying, "This area is MINE!" . . . unfortunately bunnies don't give a crap . . . or maybe they do . . . since they keep leaving donations.
5. If the air rifle doesn't work out, you could always use poison. You know your dog only goes out so often. Chocolate (like baker's chocolate . . . the strong stuff) and Aspirin will kill rabbits . . . FAST. They can't process the toxins in the chocolate and that'll kill them off quicker than you can yell, "Thar she sneers, the white rabbit!". Also, adult Aspirin will quickly and swiftly poison them to death (It also works great on mice . . . a few little pieces of aspirin left around areas the mice go, in the house, and they'll suck it down). To those pests these poisons are like sweet, delicious death to them. You'll have your revenge as their tiny little hearts explode in doom.

Thanks for the Choco/Aspirin tip. Might resort to that next if my aim in real life continues to reflect my aim in MWO.
