This sounds like a made up story. I made various decisions today that just happened to put me crossing a bridge in an area that I'm seldom in and at a time that was significantly earlier than I planned to be there. As my daughter, Jess, and I are driving across this overpass we see a bunny hop off the highway. I looked at my daughter and said, "That's a domestic rabbit." We found a place to turn around and parked under the overpass. My girl had minor surgery on her toe yesterday and she chose to go hiking up the hill with bare feet to get this rabbit. This is my vet tech daughter that works at the emergency clinic.
She goes on one side and I go on the other side. We both know that it's possible that we'll startle this rabbit and it will dart back onto the highway and get killed. She found it in some brush and carefully scooped it up, holding it like they'd been taught to restrain rabbits to prevent spine injury. Yay $27,000 of schooling!! Got it back in the car, her limping like crazy, and drove home.
It's a gorgeous rabbit. Jess went over it quickly and it doesn't appear hurt. It's clean and doesn't look like it's been outside for long. We'll sex it tomorrow. We contacted the humane society and Jess put notices up on facebook. I need to check craigslist. Nobody has reported losing a bunny, so I'm wondering if someone just decided to release it. It happens more often than people think.
Lucky me, my husband knows me and loves me. I just sent him a text that said, "I love you. Lots." He sent back, "What animal is in our house?" Hahaha. I know very well that he would have been traipsing through the brush helping us look for the silly rabbit. So for now, Al has given up his crate to this bunny. Jess says she's calling it Pineapple. For some reason the name fits. I really hope someone is looking for it. I haven't had a rabbit since Ernie, my dorm rabbit, and I really wasn't in the market for another.
