More Babies At 16750 N Ozark...

Yes I am back from the most horrible work weekend I have had. I was so tired. In fact, I still feel quite drained from the chaos. I scanned patients nonstop all night long. Many of these were the baser sorts of people. They were the drunk, the od'd, the inmates of society. Augh!!! Enough was enough.

Tabithia mowed the yard Sunday in my hour of rest. She mentioned seeing some baby rabbits at the south end of the house. I was out with the dogs on Monday for a little while, all of us getting our exercise. I can actually out-do the lazy dogs. They end up lagging behind. It is so hot though. Well, I had my camera and noticed that there was a gold finch perched on the sunflowers. i just had to try to snap a picture. So I took a picture, moved in closer, took another. I was so focused on the bird that I was not paying much attention to what the dogs were doing on the "south side of the house." I turn and catch a glimpse of the master hunter lab of mine, Carlie (see slide show on previous post). She was intent on getting something next to the house. She raises her head from the flowers/grass/weeds and has a little brown bunny in her mouth. I yelled her name (she just happens to be yell trained very well) She dropped what she was doing. The little brown bunny falls to the ground motionless. I picked it up and sat it (or tossed it lightly) back in its shelter. I got the dogs out of there quickly and repenned them. I went back to check the bunny snack. It was already gone. I had seen one hopping around after that. I trust it lived to hop again. It really was a hoppy ending.

It has been an honor to be home to all of God's creation this year. I have a butterfly cocoon I am keeping watch on too. It is just a regular Wild America at my house. I loved that show.
