Unrelated Trauma

I wouldn't normally post about such things, but I need to 'dump' it somewhere. I have two very sweet and very gentle greyhounds- sweet May can pick up a grape without breaking the skin. Both were once racers and when they are outside, they will chase anything that moves...it's just how they were raised. So tonight when I let them out for the last time, Boo came back in in a reasonable amount of time; May seemed to linger as she sometimes does. I went out to hurry her along and she comes running up to me with something in her mouth...not a ball or a chew toy or a stick, something with fur. My first reaction- a mouse. Very gross, thank you May for your service to this house! Once she dropped it, very proudly, near my feet, I realized it was not a mouse, but a very tiny baby bunny. He had perfectly shaped little ears and legs and nose with brown fur. I sat and watched him take his last few breaths. Poor baby bunny. I felt so very sad for him. I gently picked him up (in a gloved hand), put him in a small box, and wrapped him a paper towel. Now, I'm very sad. I apologized to May for being upset with her; she was only doing what she was trained to do- she caught the rabbit. Still I feel bad. Now, what does one do with a deceased baby rabbit in a card board box? I think tomorrow I will put the baby bunny to rest in the woods behind my house. Rest well baby bunny. Sigh.

(Not our baby bunny...but, he looked just like this one.)
**PSA: If you find an injured baby bunny, you can take it to UT vet school. There will be no charge.
