Mommy of Two - And Lessons Learned

I am now the proud mommy of a baby bunny. Dewey doesn't like him, but they'll get along eventually. :) His name is Benny, and unfortunately, my black lab found him first. When we got Benny away, his wee nose was bleeding, and one eye looked injured and was swelling shut. He was in absolute shock. The poor baby clung to me, and scrambled up my tank top, wiggled onto my collarbone under my button-up blouse, and there he stayed. It was like his little nest on my shoulder. My dad din't think he'd make it through the night... But before I went to bed, I checked on him and asked a special prayer for God to keep this sweet animal alive, and He did. Benny was doing much better this morning. Both eyes were open wide, staring at me, and his nose was washed clean. He's adorable...

Unfortunately.... my dad is going to take him to a rabbit specialist friend of mine (who owns Roscoe) who will take Benny and his brother Spot, to care for them. I think that they will eventually go back in the wild when they're older, which makes me really sad, but I want Benny to have a good life.

Over the last week, I've learned a few lessons I'd like to share with everyone very quickly.

1. Don't leave an unattended pot of spaghetti sauce on the hot stove.
2. Don't print 900 copies without checking one first.
3. Always shut up and listen.
4. Don't confront old friends - they'll just scowl at you.
5. Always smile back, even if you do confront them.
6. Smile at everyone you think are morons - they'll never know.
