What a way to screw up a daughter's birthday.

    I don't understand why rabbits dig their little holes and have babies in the middle of yards. Seen it several times. Can't they find some bushes or something?

    Maybe they like to have a large field of vision.

    Damn... That's brutal.

    In hindsight just be glad the bunny died and you didn't pay $1500 to "try" to save it.

    Yeah, I can imagine the vet wanting to charge me that for open heart surgery. I was pissed that the first gal just didn't say, "We'll take it," and walk it back to the back and just sit it down if not try to clean the womb...then when it breathed its final breath, dispose of it rather than allow a kid who was hurting to desperately search for someone to save it. Mark my words, that's the final visit to that vet's office. Customer service moron, she is.

    Vets can be like dishonest mechanics. I know several people who have been roped into paying ungodly sums of money to keep pets alive for a couple more days.

    I hit a bunny with my car when I was 15 1/2. It was the second or third trip out in the car with my learner's permit.

    It was a great way to enter the world as a driver.

    We have an acre and a half and used to have a cat that was a bunny hunter. I had to be very wary during teh spring when the baby bunnies were around. More than a few times, I heard a scream and had to go take a little one away from the cat.

    The cat was declawed in the front, so the bunnies where almost always OK.

    The cat was my wife's and she said that she didn't know bunnies could scream. It's a haunting sound.

    One day the cat disappeared. I think that the bunnies finally had enough.

    I remember Hank Hill on "King of the Hill" having to deal with Duke the cat and this vet that ran up a bill in the thousands on shit he just made up.

    You should have thrown the dead bunny in the trash, went somewhere and had a beer before returning home to let the little one know that the bunny was fine and being sent to a farm out in the country.

    Could have been a lot worse. Hope you saved a foot. It could be lucky.

    That's funny JR. I saw that photo also. Could find nothing with Fatal Attraction bunnies. Found some nice photos of Glenn Close though that I had forgotten about from movie.

    I have this old, now, Chocolate Lab who is the gentlest dog on earth. Several years ago, in some woods near our house, he caught a babyish bunny. Being a Lab, he just kind of picked it up, held it in his mouth, looked at me. I was horrified. "Max, drop! Right now!" He quickly spat out the bunny, which hopped away, apparently unscathed. Very much like a cartoon.
