Spring Has Sprung!

.. Has it ever !! We're "busy as bees" around here.

Not only has "Kitten Season" arrived in all its glory, but it's way too early in the year to be getting the number of "Easter Bunnies" that we've already seen that are getting "early retirement".

People don't usually get tired of their Easter Bunnies this early after Easter. Maybe it's Global Warming (everything else gets blamed on it, eh?).

We're also just now getting a large number of bunnies fixed (16 in only two of the litters) that were born to us back at the first of the year.

"They Told Us They Were Both Females, But .."

The Lunacy - no, call a spade a spade - The Idiocy continues, year after year. However, this year, we've actually heard this sickening line more than any other - so far, that is ..

"We did all right for the first couple of litters, but we've run out of people to give the babies to .. will you take them before they do it again?"

But I guess it's simply human nature. Think about it .. most people think that proper maintenance on a car is keeping gas in it! It seems that it's the same for animals. As long as you feed them with some regularity, you don't have to worry about anything else .. right? Besides, if the animal becomes too much trouble, there are shelters all over .. right?

Not too many people stop to think that if people didn't think that way that shelters wouldn't exist!

Babies, Babies Everywhere

* We just got in a "backyard full" of ten bunnies -- four of which appear to be too-young-to-be-pregnant does. In fact, as she was dropping them off, the lady asked, "Why do you suppose none of these girls' first litters lived?" To which we noted that they were probably -- by the ladies own calculation -- only four months old now!

* I spoke with a man that asked if we could take a couple of bunnies he had in the yard. I asked how many was a couple, to which he nonchalantly replied, ".. I think about forty." He said he was trying to sell them off, but would bring us what he was "stuck with".

* We just took 20 kittens from the pound last week.

* We've got eight litters of nursing kittens fostered right now (obviously, more to come).

I'll not even go into the abused bunnies we've received of late. As soon as I get some pictures, I'll have some write-ups in the BunnyHutch.
