it occurs to me that i haven't talked about the thing that sometimes happens where i become a haver of an additional rabbit without my consent.
we have this problem where for the past 12 years, periodically a wild Mountain Cottontail will find its way into our house. we don't know how it happens, but they do. we suspect there's a hole in our foundation somewhere that they keep finding somehow.
here's a photo from the first time it happened. he's in our kitchen and very confused as to how he got there. we were also very confused as to how he got there, but left the front door open for him and he very politely excused himself.
here's a post-capture photo from the second time it happened. my parents had to toss a towel over him and scoop him up to let him outside.
this is a baby who popped out from under my couch while i was sitting on it. i was home alone, and all i had to do was leave the back door open and keep an eye out for him. he also very politely excused himself.
here's the fourth one. another case of "toss a towel over him, grab him, and let him go in the yard."
and here's some photos from the most recent time it happened in 2022.
so yeah. very funny and on-brand problem for me and my parents to have.
all of these photos were taken in the 30 seconds before we let them go outside again. every single bunny was very happy to be let go, but also very confused as to why we didn't hurt them.
