So, last night I came home from the airport around 7:30, came in and got settled and then went to move my car to a non-illegal parking space. When circling my block, I saw what I thought was a kitten up against the curb on the side of the street. I parked, and got out to check on it, and when I got closer, I realized it was not a kitten. It was a very cute, brown, floppy-eared fluffy bunny rabbit.

I’m not joking.

I live on a pretty busy street, and I didn’t want him to get hit by a car, so my neighbor and I cornered him easily and I caught him in my jacket, which he immediately peed in. We got him into a cat carrier and gave him some carrots and he spent the night in my apartment. He’s incredibly tame, and will eat out of my hand, and when I open the carrier, he’ll rub his head against my hand. So, he’s obviously somebody’s pet rabbit, I just have to find out whose. My neighbor posted it on the Moms on the Hill listserv and I put it on Craigslist, and when it stops raining, I’ll put up some flyers.

He’s a sweet bunny though, and so soft. If you’ve never petted a live bunny, I suggest you go find one and pet it immediately. It kind of takes all your problems away for a minute.
