PFE and I were planting a tiny peach orchard - three trees - in the sideyard yesterday when Sparky, who's typically a mellow hound, started getting very excited, like he was on game. Turns out he was, he'd found a rabbit's nest in a hole under the pine straw, fuzzy white fur at the entrance. He was sniffing and whimpering like crazy. Everything happened very fast... bunnies no bigger than a fist started popping up from the hole, hopping one-by-one in a scatter across the yard. We put Spark in the house, grabbed a camera. One, we immediately called him "Fred," worked into a corner before finding his way.This morning the hole is quiet and empty... where's the mother, have they moved to another nest?
