4 New Little Additions to Our Growing Family!

No I am not pregnant.
But I am the proud mother of 4 baby bunnies that have nested in our backyard!
Tuesday night I came home, let Jonas out, and he stayed out for about 30 mins which is a little out of character. I went to call him in and he was really reluctant to come in when I called. His paws were covered in dirt when finally came in so I went out to check out the digging damage with my little flashlight.
Much to my surprise I found a hole- but not dug by my crazy puppy but a momma bunny to house her newborn babies! I wanted to make sure Jonas had not done the unthinkable and harm these little angels. And he didn't. But that did mean that I got to hold the little ones. We had baby bunnies we rescued from a flood a few years ago so I knew the mommas world come back if we touched them. But just to make sure we laid some string across the nest so we could tell if the momma came back or not (she did!)


So no we have a family of 7! Jonas is really protective over them, and has not tried to hurt them, in fact he tries to cover them up with dirt. The sweetheart. All the same I am nervous to leave him in the backyard. I guess we will have to walk him for the next few weeks.
But I am going to try to remember to put up pictures of each day as they grow up. It is crazy how fast they change! They have already doubled in size!

I am already behind in my goal so you will see first the pictures from Wed. morning, and then the next are from today!

So Tiny! And They squirm a lot.

I know this picture isn't so great, but you can see their tiny closed eyes and little body.

This was today! Look how much bigger they are! They still have closed eyes, and closed ears, but they are getting so much cuter already!

Come back to see the little guys (or gals) get bigger!
