Daddy Diego
It's very common for us to get at least one litter of baby bunnies somewhere on our property every year. And with a lot more bunnies hopping around this year, it was no exception. J was lucky to find the nest over the weekend. Since it was a hole in the actual lawn, I'm glad he saw it before mowing. He showed me the babies (so very cute), but we hadn't told the girls yet b/c they would never leave it alone. A couple days ago, J looked out the window and saw a black cat skulking close to the nest. He immediately ran outside to chase it away and then went to check on the babies. Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 were dead (and quite beat up too). One actually managed to get out of the nest and he found it nearby. He got gloves, cleared out the dead baby bunnies and picked up the lone survivor. He brought it the house to show Kayla (Alysa was still sleeping), than brought it to the mommy. She ran under the shed when he got close to her, so he put the baby under the shed and watched as the mommy came to him/her. The girls now call him an Animal Rescuer like Diego. He is definitely their Hero.
He is just too cute.

Aw, how cute! We had baby bunnies too this year. But sadly the neighbors cat got them. No pictures were posted of that. The Little Man and I found them. It was a day to teach lessons about death (and life, and heaven, and cats etc).
Oh my goodness, he's so small! Go Daddy!
Daddy to the rescue! I'm sure the girls were in love with the baby bunny, he is very cute!
I'm glad the mommy was able to find it and take care of it. :)
Very cute, always nice to show them something so pure in nature.
How fun!
He deserves a show named after him!! ;)
