Guess what Knut found?

Lena has an indoor kennel, and an outdoor kennel. Since she has jumped over, dug under, and figured out how to open the door of the outdoor one, she is usually confined to her indoor one when we’re gone.

We should probably take down the outdoor kennel, but it hasn’t been at the top of the list yet. This afternoon, Knut was trimming the yard, and took the trimmer inside the kennel to neaten it up. Here’s what he found:

Can you tell what it is?

I first jumped when he showed me because it moved. I thought it was a mouse or rat or something.

Look closer…

Let’s just say it explains why 2 adult rabbits have been hanging out pretty close to the house lately.

It’s a nest with 4 little bunnies growing, all nestled in the dog kennel that apparently hasn’t been used in so long that a mother felt comfortable enough to birth her babies there, and the fence would scare away many predators.

Don’t believe me? I took a few second video. They’re kinda scared, with a grass trimmer whizzing past their heads and all, so we didn’t touch them and they don’t want to budge much…mostly sleep.

I can’t wait for the kids to wake up and find out.
