It is the day before New Year's Eve and I could care less, in my younger days I would be trying to decide what I was going to wear to the New Year's Eve party, I have not given this a second thought, I wonder why I said second thought? What was my first thought? Is this what happens when you get old you stop going to parties and you have a thought then you lose it and have to come up with a second one.
I have not been fishing because of my back and hand pain, my husband has not been fishing because of the weather. We got a phone call yesterday morning that pompano were skipping everywhere on the inlet banks, but it was blowing 15 to 20 out of the northwest which would have made it pretty rough across the river in our small boats. My husband needs the wind to have a slow day so he can get back on the river, for my sake he needs this.
I am struggling as to what to do with this little guy. I found out that all of the rabbits that ran loose at La Porte Farms have all disappeared. This is where I wanted to release him because he would have others to learn from and have bunny buddies. The man across the street said he saw a bobcat, my guess is that is where the rabbits went. I can not stand the thought of something killing him and the pain he will feel being killed. This brings tears.
I know someone who has a pet rabbit, when he is big enough, I am going to ask her if she will take him for a buddy for her bunny. If she says she does not want him, then I guess I will need to build a pen for him, this breaks my heart, too. He is supposed to be a wild animal and be free, but this changed when I stepped in and kept him from dying.
He knows nothing about being in the wild, he does not know that dogs can kill him, or birds from the sky are dangerous, and he does not even know how to dig a hole to sleep in. What am I going to do with him? Did I do the right thing by saving him?
In the above photo, he wants me to pick him up, how can I resist this?
