Little Bunny Foo-Foo, Almost became a Boo-Boo
This is the cutest thing I’ve witnessed hopping around my backyard. But, this cute little thing almost wasn’t.
I was in the middle of mowing the lawn, when Little Bunny Foo-Foo shot out from his highly populated rabbit hole and made a bee line for my back porch.
Nesting in the dirt-just below the surface of the grass-was an entire bunny family.
I assumed they all lived in trees with cute front doors, like Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh. But underneath the grass clippings, gathered items were at least six tiny bunnies. My heart melted on the spot. Seriously. Like wax.
Little Bunny Foo-Foo hunkered down on my back porch, far away from the safety of his nest, his momma, and his bunny siblings.
(Just look at that cute little bunny butt.)
I told Little Foo-Foo that I would go mow the front lawn-leaving the backyard free from scary noises for awhile-if he promised to go back to his nest.
I think he has human trust issues.
I covered his little nest with a chunk of wood to protect it from more mowings, birds or naughty kitty cats.
But, I propped up a corner, leaving a way for the goings and the comings of the furry group. I didn’t want to touch any of them and infect them with my stinky human scent or try to move their nest and hurt them.
When I returned to the backyard, Little Bunny Foo-Foo was nowhere to be found. I believe he’s back in his nest, telling a slightly exaggerated story to his bunny siblings of his adventure with the giant woman and a back porch full of scary leaves and bugs.
At least I hope so. Long live Little Bunny Foo-Foo!
Hi Rebekah! Just over visiting and this was a sweet story….I too had wee bunnies in my yard several years ago which I took into the house. We waited a few days and kept checking the recovered nest, but Mama must have flown the coop…the baby bunnies started dying, so I took them in and handfed them. Four of them survived and I carted them up north to our trailer and let them go when they were old enough. They were much tinier than yours…glad yours had some weight to them…and fur! I’m following you and can’t wait to look around some more! Thanks for stopping over at my blog and I hope you’ll follow me back! xo wendy
The cute little bunnies took off today-something about the incessant rain and their hole being filled with water….I have looked all over the yard, even under the barn and can’t find them. I hope they are doing ok and know that I will gladly share my garden bounty with them if they choose to come back. I can’t deny a bunny. A squirrel-maybe. But not a bunny….
You do know little bunny foo foo will throughly enjoy your garden this spring. Long live little bunny foo foo.
I am prepared and have over planted. Bunnies should rule the world. I mean, would there be war if bunnies were in charge? I say “NOT”!
That’s so sweet! I bet it took all your might to not pick him up and squeeze him, except the fact that he is a wild, stinky bunny.
