#71 and a sad bunny story....

I went for my afternoon wog through the woods with the dogs and went to check out my back garden. I found this cute and picturesque live for ever plant greeting up for spring. When I bent down to take the picture, I moved some leaves. Zammo, baby bunnies scattered! The dogs took great notice and Pogo caught one! I should have let her keep it. But, no. I made her drop it.

Bummer. The poor thing was hurt badly but not dead. I took the dogs in and left it to lie there hiring it east as bad as I thought. I went back out and determined that its back was probably broken. I couldn't let it suffer, I didn't want Pogo to eat it - ever. (The potential for her puking it up in the house at some point seemed high.) So.... I had to kill it and get rid of it. I will spare you the rest if the story but suffice it to say, it was traumatuzing to me!!! Agh, one of the downsides to the wilderness and dogs I guess. All the other babies got away which means I will be cursing their existence when my garden starts to sprout!

Ah, the dilemmas in life!
