Look what Minnie, our miniature dachshund, found the other day while playing outside - a little nest of baby bunnies in a hole in our yard! Of course, Minnie tried to kill them, so I hope she didn't hurt them too badly! :( I didn't think we would ever have something like that in our backyard. We don't exactly have a lot of trees or nature around our neighborhood. They are so cute and tiny that I just want to keep all of them! I don't know exactly how many are in there, but I think there are at least 8 of them. For some reason, I can't help myself from being VERY concerned about these little babies. I'm sure I should just leave them alone, but I've gone out every day since we've found them to make sure they are still alive. I guess it's just my motherly instincts - it apparently applies to animals, too! Today, we think we saw the mama bunny in the distance a few houses down by the neighbor's pine trees. It's good to know that she's watching out for her babies and makes me not so worried. I mean, it's not like rabbits haven't mated before, right?!? I'll admit, sometimes I can be a little ridiculous . . . . but I'm a mom, so I'm allowed :)
we had baby bunnies in our backyard a few years back and bear found them...a few didn't make it and the rest we brought to a local nature center. They sure are cute, aren't they?!
