Winnie the Wonder Bunny. The week after my birthday I was out playing Ultimate frisbee with some friends. Just so happens we were at a park that had no restrooms. Thankfully we were close enough to home. As I pulled into the driveway I saw a small white bunny hiding under Jen’s red truck. It was so cute, but I was sure it would run away. To my surprise it did not. We were able to catch it. I brought it into the house to find some food for it expecting the dogs to go CRAZY!
To my continued amazement the dogs were chill. They didnt’ bark at all, not even at the two people who were with me. Found out the little bunny was wounded. It had a deep wound in it’s side, but it was dry, not currently bleeding. I found a box, a small bowl of water, a small towel and put it inside with some carrots. It ate them up. How long had this bunny gone without food? Poor little thing?
I took him back to the park with us, where Bethany’s boyfriend asked to name it. Since he actually caught the bunny for me I said sure. He named it Win-e-bago, hence the nickname Winnie.
A few days later I got Winnie to the vets. It was so tiny the vet said it was about 8 weeks old. Two weeks of antibiotics and the bunny was healed. We also found out it was a BOY! opps, but the name Winnie stays. We often refer to him as BunnBunn.
I bought a nice cage, and play pen. I call it the 2 story Condo and yard. He loves it. And he loves me. He will sit on my lap eatting carrots and just fall right to sleep. I love my little bunny and so do the dogs. Buttercup is often seen licking him. She thinks it is her puppy.
BunnBunn is growing bigger and bigger each day. He is over 3 times the size he was when we found him……I can’t wait to see how big he is going to get!
