Anyway, we were working down in Benny's shop and heard some squealing. We both jumped up and looked for the dogs (we knew what the sound was). I saw Booger (black lab) with something in his mouth and RAN to him yelling.
He had a baby bunny in his mouth. I got him to drop it and I scooped it up real fast. Thankfully, it was ok. Then, he started sniffing around so we watched where he went and when he stopped, I ran and yelled at him again to get away.
He had found a rabbit hole with 2 more little babies in it. We scooped them up and put all three in the bed of Benny's truck. While the kids watched over the bunnies, we rounded up a box.
My mom made a little rabbit sanctuary a few years ago and that is where we take the baby bunnies we find (this happened every year).
So, with bunnies in box, we head to my moms. We let each kid release one.
Even though Benny hunts, we are big animal people. Benny wont hunt or kill anything unless we are going to eat it. He doesn't hunt just to go kill shit. Hell, we even ate his roadkill! LOL
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Also, if you didn't read my post yesterday, please scroll down one and read it.

Awww I love little baby bunnies! I have some in the backyard that are so tiny I have to do a double take to make sure they are there.
So glad the baby bunnies were ok! Thanks for saving them. My husband and I found one that didn't have such a lucky fate last week at the disc golf course. He was so tiny too, it was horribly sad!
I kind of feel bad for the mama bunny though, won't she be sad when she gets back and sees her babies are gone?
I'm surprised no one starting begging for pet bunny rabbits. Mine surely would have.
We are the same, animal loving hunters. Or I should say Levi is since I dont hunt, just eat what he does LOL. We had some baby bunnies in our yard last summer and we kept checking on them and making sure their mama was coming around and didnt abandon them. One night Levi went out to check on them and there was a rattlesnake in our yard headed for the bunnies! He killed the snake (um yeah we dont like those around here!) and all was good. Until the next morning I went outside and there was a big ol' king snake with his head down the rabbit hole! Damn thing ate all the babies. We let him live though since he helps keep rattlesnakes away but I was not very happy about him eating the babies!
SO CUTE!
I love baby bunnies. Last year the outdoor cat found a nest and started attacking one. It was the worst noise I've ever heard coming from an animal. We rounded up 6 babies and dropped them in a field the next morning. Then the next day that damn cat found another one and we caught him eating it. Good thing that cat found another home. Glad you were able to drop them off somewhere safe too!!! XOXO
Soooo sweet! We have some that visit each night. They are so cute that the bare spots in the grass are worth it! :o)
