Discovering the World

Apr. 15, 2008 - Baby bunny and other stuff

My dad found a baby rabbit that had gotten away from its momma over the weekend.  After it stayed in the same spot in their yard for more than a day and no momma rabbit showed up to escort the little one home, and after seeing a black cat staring at it in anticipation of a yummy meal, my dad picked it up and now has it in a temporary home. 

My dad brought him over to show the boys today.  They both thought he was very cute.  Who can resist a little fluff ball of a baby rabbit?  At hearing that we couldn't keep him because we already have a cat and aren't at a place to take on any other pets, Nathaniel decided that we could trade Sniffy (our cat, Seth named him because he likes to sniff everything) for the bunny because the bunny is so small and cute.  Seth LOVES Sniffy so that didn't go over so well with him, or me for that matter. 

No fears Sniffy Underfoot, (Underfoot is hubby's creation because, well, he's always underfoot) ye shall not be replaced so easily.  Aren't we the greatest pet namers?

I'm not quite sure what my dad will do with him.  He doesn't want to keep him because he is a wild animal and thinks he wouldn't be happy as a pet.  But he also thinks it would be neat to have him around too.  As a kid he brought home stray dogs I'm told.  As a grown man bunnies.  I guess you can't take all the boy out of a man, but then who'd want to?  :)

Well that was long.  I promised other stuff up there in my title as well.  Dustin's aunt came over and we scanned pictures for that project for her grandmother.  I think I mentioned that a while back.  It was great fun!  I got to see pictures of Dustin's great-great-grandmother!  Apparently their family has a history of longevity, at least with the women of the family.  I also got to see Dustin's great-grandfather.  He was a handsome man.  I love old photographs!

That is all the excitement I can think to share.  Who knows what will happen tomorrow.  I can't wait to find out!

Isn't it wonderful to have family members live long in age. For them to be able to pass on stories and family information onto the next generations. "My Man's" grandmother lived to be 104 and still had her right mind when she died. Wow, what a blessing. My Dad is the only one left alive to pass on stories to the rest of us. "My Man's" Dad passed away at the age of 66 and his Mom passed away at the age of 64. That was way to young if you ask me. I wish that they would of written down some of the things that happened in their youth or how they lived years ago. Wouldn't that be awesome? to have hand written stories of our ancestors. Okay, I've rattled on long enough. Talk Later.
