Bunnies

Cute, for a while...

Mama rabbit dug a hole in my yard. Lo and behold a week or so later we had two baby bunnies hopping around the yard. Cute little buggars. We enjoyed peeking at them about every half hour to see how they were getting along... It was fun watching them explore the yard.

But the neighbor's cat got 'em. One bunny disappeared, the other showed up on the neighbor's doorstep, accompanied by said cat. All accounts are that the bunny was unhurt -- the kitty may have been trying to adopt the baby bunny. But the neighbors figgered the cat would probably keep harassing the bunny, so they let the rabbit go down by the creek where the kitty may not find him.

Odd -- when I lived on the farm, rabbits were viewed as lunch (pass the salt please). Now that I live in town they represent "the great outdoors" to me, and I find myself treating them as pets and wishing them well...
