Natalie the Proud Mama............. taking care of her 4 baby rabbits.
Today was a nice warm day so Garrett and I had taken the two girls outside to do some yard work. Duke our dog is always killing something and bringing it back to the house and leaving it on the yard or front step. Today Garrett and I were spraying weeds and we keep seeing duke coming back and forth from the haystack alongside my dad's field that is right by our house. Duke had found some baby rabbits and he was bringing them to Natalie. Garrett got Natalie a old towel to hold them in. I was very
surprised how careful Duke was with the rabbits. He just carried them in his mouth and brought them back to the house. He as fine with Natalie wrapping them up in the towel. At first it was one, then two, three and finally four.
After the fourth one came and we could see where Duke was finding them we locked the dog up and went to see about putting them back. Natalie had taken care of them for awhile now and she was not to excited about putting them back in the hole. We explained that they would die without the mom and that the mom would miss them. She was
ok with that as long as we told Madalyn and Morgan that they were her rabbits and she could show them to them when they got home from school.

While we were out putting the rabbits away we also found 2 baby owls ( at least that is what we think they are). They didn't look to friendly, I keep watching for the mom to come around. My dad has quite the animal refuge out there.
