Bunny Watch 2011 ~ Day Three

Well as I continue to pray over the small nest of bunnies in my back yard they seem to be doing OK. I consulted with a veterinarian friend of mine yesterday at church and he told me that kitten food is acceptable to feed baby rabbits should the need arise. Let’s just hope that the need will not arise. Last night we had a horrible thunderstorm along with torrents of rain that soaked the backyard for over an hour and I grew concerned for our tiny backyard residents. Well this morning when I made my way out to the flower bed to check on our little interlopers they seemed no worse for the ware. They were safe, dry and from all appearances well cared for. They had gotten a good bit bigger. As you can see from the video they are nice and fuzzy now and moving around a lot more.

I can only surmise that since they are still alive and kicking that mommy bunny is around somewhere and making regular visits to her nest. I have not seen her but then I think she may do most of her care giving after the sun goes down.

The nest was originally a bit difficult to find as mommy bunny has camouflaged it very well.

I have a small stick on the ground right next to the nest so I can gently move the ground cover and bunny fluff away to have a look!

Needles to say Buster is still a bit obsessed and doing his best Elmer Fudd impression of Kill the Wabbit, but so far we have managed to keep him away for the nest. We have set up the chain lead in the back yard so he can at least make the occasional trip outside to do his business. This internal imprisonment is not making the DD happy due to the increased amount of walks she must take the dog on…..poor baby!

Just look at the difference!

Day One! Saturday

Day Three – Monday

So the bunny watch continues.

My backyard garden may be in for an invasion very soon….

Blessings

So sweet! We had a couple of baby bunnies in our back yard right after Easter. I think I saw one of them a few days ago; he got stuck between our house and the sidewalk as I was leaving one morning. I had to slowly back up so he could get away.

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
