My daughter, Laney, was the first to see him. 
This little cutie is the first to emerge from the nest. In backyard nature , I explained that I was afraid the mother had been killed. But, as you can see, all is well. This little guy is only a foot away from his nest. He likely got impatient waiting for mom to come and feed him at dark.
We’ll have to keep the dog on a leash for a while – at this point the little fellas could be anywhere.
Do you see the white mark on the top of his head? I hope he keeps it forever.

How sweet! Once, when I was teaching, we found some baby bunnies in an area between buildings. It became a class project to protect the bunnies.

This one didn’t move for hours, but I bet in a week he’ll be popping up everywhere.

Oh yay for mum and babies surviving! Aren’t they the most gorgeous little creatures! Bet your dog isn’t be too happy about being leashed………. but what a wonderful opportunity to observe nature in action.

It was all I could do not to reach in there and pet him. That little face!
I put the leash on Riley before bed last night & she got all excited & went for the back gate. She thought she was going for a walk!

I didn’t Pauline, though I was tempted. She’s over 100 pounds, so we attach the leash to a harness for safety when we leave the yard. I had just put it on her collar for the backyard, so I didn’t chance it. Little Siddy probably doesn’t have such issues. : )

So sweet! And so good you don’t have to bottle feed them. Poor Riley, thinking she was going to go on a walk.

Yeah, she was disappointed. Not a good idea walking on these country roads (no sidewalk) in the dark. It’s not a good idea in the day, either, actually, but we do it.

I know just what you mean. On our roads, there are neither sidewalks nor street lights.

Awww. So cute. We once disturbed a bunny nest and they ran right into our fenced dog yard where my Moka proceeded to grab one. I proceeded to scream like a crazy person, while My daughter got to the other side of the fence. Moka did not did not hurt it at all. She handed it over to my daughter who wanted to keep it. She eventually let it go and they made their new home under our front deck for safety.

Wow – that’s a story! We’ve had similar luck with the dog. Riley will grab them but she knows she’ll get yelled at if they squeak. My husband rescued one from the dog’s mouth earlier this year late at night & tucked him away in a garden. I found him the next morning (not a mark on him) found the nest (45 minutes later) and put him in. That nest of bunnies are all half grown and popping out of every garden.
I think we have ruined the fun of squeaky toys for Riley, though. She won’t make them squeak – probably because she thinks she’ll get yelled at. : I

Great picture. If the white mark stays in place it could lead to media stardom…

Isn’t that spot adorable? I’ve not seen one with the spot lately. I don’t know if the spot changed or if I haven’t seen that same bunny again.
