    One summer a few years ago, my neighbor (city woman newly moved to the suburbs) comes banging on my door. With her eyes all big she says, “you gotta come out here and tell me what this is”

    It was a nest of like 15 newborn bunnies 😁

    I have a Leonberger and raised garden beds so they’re at the perfect height for her to checkout what happening in the bed. She always seems to find these bunnies before I do. When they are big enough she’ll take them out of the bed and try her best to snuggle with them. Nothing gruesome, she’s trying her best to have a friend.

    Worst part I’m allergic to rabbits.

      Nah they’re not smart. One left a litter in the grass next to some loud equipment. I dunno if it scared mom away or not but one morning during power up I found 3 frozen dead buns. Was not a good day.

        Oh, that’s horrible.

        I was mowing the lawn when I lived with my parents one day and I chopped a baby bunny’s ear off even after doing a walk around before I mowed. Luckily he was gone in about an hour, but yeah, bunnies aren’t smart.
