Bunnies + Yorkies = Horror

I hate bunnies. This is a new hatred, and really it has less to do with the bunnies and more to do with the horrific experiences the bunnies bring with them. Yes, that's right bunnies = horror, bet you didn't know that little factoid, well you didn't unless you live smack dab in the middle of bunny breeding country and you have a couple of small dogs. You know, Yorkies were bred to be ratters, tiny little dogs that were encouraged to have a blood lust for tinier furry creatures. Nothing that tiny should ever be encouraged to have a blood lust by the way. I mean seriously, anything that could be drop kicked should not be given an attitude that big, it is just cruel. Anyway, the bunny horror/hatred began several months back when they started nesting in my backyard under various bushes. Little did I know that bunnies are the worst mothers in existence with the possible exception of that one bird that pushes her chicks off of a cliff. Did you know that bunnies barely cover their young? They also make their nests where anything can find it. Oh, and let's not forget that they only come to check on their offspring once a day. Epic fail on the mothering scale bunnies...epic, epic fail! I mean, come on, what kind of mother has their babies in the home of things bred to destroy them? The horror that I have been living through with pulling Yorkies off of bunnies, erecting fences around nests, hearing bunny screams as they die in my hands, and then cleaning up bunny parts and blood off of my floors after the dogs throw it up has been a real treat. Does anyone know how emotionally jarring cleaning up bunny parts is, especially after the bunny has died in your hand??? I have been going through this so frequently that now if I am sitting in my back yard enjoying a cup of tea and I hear a bunny scream I move at the speed of light. I have become trained to listen for the sound of screaming bunnies to spring into action. Moral of this little tale of horror...don't live in bunny breeding country. I have so got to move.
