I Spy!

I spy something fun!
I spy something tiny!
I spy something PERFECT for this Easter season!

Have you guessed?

WE HAVE BUNNIES!!
Tiny little baby bunnies (and their mama) have taken up residence in our side yard. How did we discover this, you ask? Well, thanks to our trusty RykerDog, he sniffed out that something was afoot, and started poking his nose around. When his nose led him to a little patch of roughage that started squeaking, Joe quickly picked him up (because that was the only way of dragging him away) and threw him in the house. I however, went to work discovering what our little noisy hole was!! With a small stick I peeled away the leaves and fur and discovered 4-5 tiny little fidgeting bunnies!

They are so cute and small, and have already increased their size since we discovered them on Sunday! With the tiniest ears and, and they just bounce and pop when you peel back their cover. And no, we don't do this often, just to check to see if they're still ok! So, here's a little video to see the guys in live action!

How cool is that! How are you going to keep Ryker from eating them?

They are in our side yard, with a gate too. Everytime Ryker goes out on the driveway though, he makes a bee line to the fence! HE KNOWS!!

Aw, how fun. Good thing you found them before Ryker REALLY got to them, or you mowed over them or something. I've seen a local photography who does Easter pics of kids with bunnies, but I think ours are too small to hold them right. Otherwise, it would be cute with O and the bunnies!

That is soooo neat! Congrats. It's like you're an Aunt all over again, making sure the little bunnies are ok! Just don't let your little O'bear eat the chocolate covered, umm, well, you know. lol Have fun.

Love it! We had bunnies several times in our yard as a kid and was always a fun discovery.

I'm so glad you got pics! That is SO COOL! I've never seen a burrow before. I was thinking more of a cave, not a hole in a hill of fluff and leaves. So neat! That mama bunny knew what she was doing when she picked her spot, too.
