Last night Billy went downstairs to do some laundry and heard something hitting the window. He looked in and saw something Jumping. His first thought went to a baby raccoon. A few years ago Emma (our dog) was going crazy by the basement window and we looked in there and saw a baby raccoon. We called Animal Control but it was a holiday weekend night and they could not come and get him. We didn't want him to starve to death so Billy got all geared up to take him out and set him free in the Field across from our house. I do not deal with wild animals so I was his emotional support. I got him the gloves, long sleeved shirt, coat and the cat carrier to transport him in. Then I coached him in how to get the raccoon to go into the cage. We got him and took him to the field- mind you it is like 11 at night. We never saw him again- I think he grew up and had a happy little family! So back to last night Billy came and got me out of bed and said "come look this is so cute" I thought he was talking about the kids- but they were sleeping so then i thought maybe the Cat and Dog were snuggled up together. So I went downstairs and looked in the window and there were 4 little baby bunnies. They were really cute! So this time we didn't even call animal control, we thought we could handle 4 little bunnies! So again I was the brains behind the operation. I got Billy a box a coat and a pillow case. Just so you all know- I do not search for things needed- I just grab what is close by!! The first one was calm and cute- I kept having to remind Billy that we could not keep them. Number 2 went in the box and almost jumped out. I screamed and Billy jumped. I closed the box and waited for him to catch the next 2. I think I freaked him out a little bit because he was much more cautious. So we got them all in the box and took them outside. We put them in our front yard and watched them. The feisty one ran off right away- two went off aways to eat and the calm one stayed near by and even let Billy pet him. We went to bed- and when we woke up this morning I did not see any of them so I think they too went off and are getting married today and will start making babies like bunnies:)
