Lucy, who never barks, gave us a scare last weekend when she began barking at the pine straw along the deck in the back yard. Brad went to check it out only to find jumping pine straw. Assuming it was another snake (we've already killed 2 in the yard), he got the shovel and after moving back the pine straw, ready to strike the mean ol' snake any minute, discovered that we have a nest of baby bunnies! There were six of them that we could count, all snuggled down in a hole in the ground under the pine straw. We've left them alone for the most part, except to peek at them and make sure they are doing well.
This weekend, one brave bunny decided it was time to leave the nest and now he's taken up residence under the deck. Lucy does not like it one bit because she wants him to come out and play!! We had to buy her a new ball to play with to distract her from the babies.
It's amazing how much they've grown in a week, so I suspect they won't be living in the hole for much longer.
Here are the babies last weekend:
Here's the escapee:
And here's Lucy Monster playing with her new ball:
