haha true. I did wait to post this until I got back home, but I am guilty of trying to get a photo to send to her family to show how she’s doing instead of just petting her nonstop.

She approves of this

I’m sorry this happened. I know it feels really terrible right now, but I hope another great opportunity comes your way and that you feel prepared when it comes.

great shot!

took me a minute to realize those funky tail feathers are actually the other wing

Most likely black-capped chickadee this time of year and in a box. My bird nest guide describes it as

a moss base and cup of plant down, fiber, hair, wool, feathers, and spiders’ cocoons

For our pet rabbit I bought a clay plant saucer (the part you would put under the pot to catch extra water). I flip it upside down and put an ice pack under it. Then a towel between the ice pack and floor to soak up condensation. The ice cools the clay without her being in direct contact with the ice.

Also frozen water bottle in a sock she can lay next to on the extra hot days.

It always is when cats are involved

Per the Minnesota Wildlife Rehab Center, if she’s certain the cat never got it:

if it’s a bunny that is larger than a tennis ball, and its ears are upright, it’s old enough to be on its own

Best option is to release it back where she found it and keep an eye on it if she’s worried about the cat again.

Also if she has some greens like arugula, clover, basil, cilantro, or any lettuce except iceberg available those will sit better in the bunny’s tummy than carrots which have too much sugar.

Hi Dr. Nick!

Sleeping beauty’s castle. I love the tree accents!

How do they pack so much judgement in such a little body

Edit: typo

Our favorites are broccoli, green beans and brussels sprouts. Take out of freezer, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, spread out on a cookie sheet, and bake at 425F (~220C) for 20-30 minutes turning once. For broccoli I usually bake 20 min, flip, then bake another 10 min.

Sometimes when there’s 5 minutes left I sprinkle some cheese on the veggies (usually parmesan or cheddar) and let it finish baking so the cheese melts and gets crispy.

Once I discovered I could roast them in the oven, I switched to mostly buying frozen

As soon as I saw this I could hear her so clearly

Looking very distinguished

They must’ve had the same teacher as my dog. Pros, all of them

They have such a good stare I feel like I need to give them treats for being good too

My kid was a very colicky baby. Parenting is rough. The fact that you feel like a bad parent means you are most definitely not a bad parent.

In kangaroos and other jumping animals it’s even further refined to saltatory locomotion

It’s a tough age. I remember the struggle all too well, and many nights I fell asleep before my kid did. I’m not sure if it’s their chance to control something when so much of their life is out of their control at this age. Hopefully you can find something that works better for all of you
