My wildlife adventure for today was to rescue a baby bunny from my window well. Of course, I tried from the basement side, trying to scoop it into a bucket, which caused it to jump past me into the basement proper.
Luckily I had locked the dog upstairs for this escapade.
I was smart enough to wear gardening gloves and was able to capture the terrified little guy by hand before he ran behind the couch.
He seemed stunned for a moment when I released him. Then he took off for the flowerbed. Success.
Last week Charleigh-dog managed to catch a baby bunny in her jaws. It was all I could do to try to pry them open until she dropped it and it managed to hop away. You could just read the thoughts running through Charleigh's mind....."NOOOOO! It's mine. I caught it and you can't have it. It's mine!" Then I practically had to pick this 80# dog up and carry her away because she was not leaving her bunny.
Labs.....ya gotta love 'em.
