At the end of last week a nurse told me about a colleague who had caused a mammoth traffic jam in town.
She'd done an emergency stop on a busy road, leaped out of the car, & rescued a black bunny from being run over. She managed to get him home in the back footwell, took him to the vet, currently has him at home but can't keep him with 3 dogs. No one has been looking for him, although all appropriate people have been alerted. The vet thought he is a young cross breed & an intentional abandonment - unwanted Christmas present.
Today she told me that if he isn't claimed in 14 days, he'll go to a rescue. I immediately said, "Will you put my name down as a potential home". I'm nothing like over the loss of Thumper, but I couldn't bear the thought of a young bunny, in need of a lot of stimulation to develop properly, having to wait for a long time for his forever home. Also it's a very busy time of year for rescues, & at least I could save them a little on feed & more importantly accommodation.
Am I a total idiot?
