Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail

Here's the four day update on the rabbits. They are growing like wildflowers and it is hard to believe that in the space of four days they have transformed from slimy, mice-like creatures to honest to goodness baby rabbits.





I spotted the mother (at least I think it was the mother) this morning hopping around our fence, probably in search of food. Clearly she is returning to the nest at some point because these rabbits are thriving!



Today when the sun came out, they crawled out from under the fur and that's when I snapped these photos. Their eyes are still closed.





Tell me they are not the cutest things you have ever seen! The most miraculous thing is that they are co-existing with the dogs, who "check on them" periodically, but then are content to leave them alone.



Enjoy!
