This is why you shouldn’t touch the baby bunnies in the backyard and an update…

Well first off – if you touch a baby wild animal– the mom could smell human on it and reject it – so don’t do it.

Secondly, a guy at work told me about Rabbit Fever, also known as Tularemia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tularemia! At first I thought he was joking but apparently not! So FYI if you come across a nest of baby bunnies don’t pick them up! They guy that told me was hospitalized with it. That’s just nuts!

Update on the bunnies – when we first discovered the bunnies Glenn proceeded to bring out carrot sticks (I informed him that since the bunny didn’t have its eyes open it probably couldn’t gnaw on a carrot stick – but good effort). Glenn did however leave a couple of them for the mommy to munch on when she came by – which she did!!!! Before we went to dinner we saw that the mommy bunny had come to the nest – it was pretty cool to watch. Later that night we checked on them and the mommy had hidden them really good again!


Yippee – For getting to go on a walk with my hubby!

Blasted - For our Kroger being out of Edamame - sheesh!!!!
