fuzzy bunny

There was a dead rabbit in front of our driveway the other day (and when I say dead, I mean obviously dead like his insides were smushed outside of him - sorry if I made you throw up a little in your mouth, but it's details that make stories interesting, right?). Now when I was a little girl, if we saw a dead animal on the road, you drove around it and kept going, but I lived in the country with 20 acres of woods and a huge a$$ satellite dish to keep me company. We do *not* presently live in the country, (in fact, we are only three blocks away from a Walgreens, thank you very much!) so I'm left to devise what to do with our newly dead animal.

I opened up the garage and headed over to our bucket of shovels. I grabbed the garden shovel and brought it over to the deceased. I attempted to scoop up the carcass, but he was just too, well... spread out. His whole body just would flop back onto the cement every time I attempted to scoop him up.

So I headed back to garage for larger artillery. I picked the snow shovel (for you people in the South you suck you may have no idea what a show shovel looks like, but it's about 18" across and ours has this ergonomic handle so you can really heap on the snow (err, rabbit) without straining your back).

On my first attempt; I scooped the rabbit up, walked/ran with him in my snow shovel and threw him way under this hundred year old pine tree in our front yard. (I know, maybe you would have thrown him in a garbage bag, but that just wasn't happening and I figured it's an out-of-sight, out-of-mind kind of thing). I turned around to grab the hose and wash all the evidence of the bloody scene away when I saw Wyatt standing there in the middle of our driveway.

"Look Mommy, I'm catching fuzzies in the air".

Umm, yeah, those were fuzzy (dead) bunny hairs he was catching in the air.

My kid grosses me out too.

At least those fuzzies won't sprout like those damn dandelion will.

Evonne said...

That's funny! I think the only reason I'm not grossed out is because of our cat who kept bringing dead bunny presents to the yard yesterday.

Cheryl said...

I wasn't grossed out til the end. Then? I regurgitated. But only a little. Problem is, how will I ever look at dandelion fuzzies the same again?

Unknown said...

Cannot. Stop. Laughing!!

I'm seriously picturing this--and could see the same thing happening to me...bwahaha!

Stephanie said...

Ew, ew, ew...and yet still pretty funny!

Aryn said...

Pregnant you threw in under a tree in your front yard?!?! Hahaha! Funny image. You and Wu.

But honestly: I would bury it. Otherwise you'll have other curious (ravenous) animals coming to check it out.

citymouse said...

Okay... ewww. That and you're more woman than I am. I would have ignored it until my husband came home. (Maybe even pretended I didn't know it was there??)

tori said...

Ewwww!!!

I'm glad that you explained a snow shovel, I was having a hard time imagining what that must look like! Love, Your Friendly Florida Girl ;-)

I'm not trying to one-up you, I'm sympathizing and showing my complete understanding of your way too disgusting story. Mallory and I were walking Lego in the park after a few days of rain. She stopped to look at something and I kept walking. I turned around and called for her so she came over saying, "Look mama, a bun-bun." IT WAS A DEAD SOAKING WET BABY BUNNY AND SHE WAS CARRYING IT!!!!!! I hadn't thought about that in awhile and now your story brought it all back. I'm going to have nightmares. Oh, have you ever tried to keep a dog away from a dead animal while cleaning your toddler while keeping yourself from throwing up while trying to remember if maggots grow on dead wet things??

I happen to think you're amazingly brave and iron stomached. Blech.

Jenn said...

LMAO...and ew. hahahaha!

PART 1

THE U.S. CITIZENS HAVE THEIR BRAINS SCRAMBLED VIA FLUORIDE IN THE WATER & ALL THE ASPERTAME THEY CONSUME IN POP DRINKS, BUT THERE IS MORE.....

You see, Bush Sr., & Jr., Clinton, Regan, Carter, Obama, Ford...ALL these presidents are in what is dubbed a SECRET SOCIETY called The Moloch Axis Demoniacs (i coined the phrase myself...Dr. A.P. and i don't use my full name because WHO knows WHAT sinister crap they'd do to me IF they found out?) or M.A.D. for short.

These people, and there’s obviously more of them (Cheney, Rumsfeld etc.) than the ones mentioned, control KEY positions not just in government, business, society etc. They are GRADUALLY erroding MORAL/FAMILY VALUES in society. SO gradual that it's like hairloss! You see it ever so slowly and you have to be a keen eye to boot!

For example, women in the workforce...they go to work so WHO takes care of the kids? Some goofs getting minimum wage who could care less about those kids. Family split apart because NOW both parents work and the cost of life itself purposely increased to perpetuate this separation. Kids grow up with NO moral/family values. Repeat this a few generations and before you know it, you have mindless zombies that don't know RIGHT from WRONG! Easily programmable to get in debt, be anti-christ-like etc.

Also, the coming mark of the beast 666. Remember HOW it all used to be ca$h only? Then they introduced checks, then credit cards to get yourself in serious financial troubles, then ATM cards, and now that STUPID SWIPE-PASS card. What is the purpose of all this? To get people broken down enough and stupid enough through putting FLUORIDE in the drinking water and ASPERTAME in soda drinks/pop cans so we ALL can accept the 666 chip. So NOBODY can buy or sell or own ANYTHING lest he has the mark of the beast (anti-christ) which is 666.

I can go on for days & days as to the subtleties and more examples but i think you all SEE the points i make here. It's all SUBTLE and GRADUAL negative changes day in & day out that these M.A.D. demons (because they are demonic and have placed their trust in demons in exchange for their souls and material possessions here on earth) are passing into laws in Canada, USA, UK, SPAIN, FRANCE etc.

Eek!!

I wouldn't be able to deal with that thing. I think I'd gag.

Shan said...

First, I already threw up a little on my shirt *at work* today, so "in my mouth" *almost* doesn't seem so bad.

Second, I thought I leave long responses on other people's posts, but Pedro's is *insane* (and yes, you can take that however you wish). And it's only Part ONE! Yikes!

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? said...

Ewwwww....yuck!

We recently had a HUGE dead bunny, guts and all, on our lawn, too!

I waited for hubby to dispose of him!

Rebecca said...

You are properly schoolin' your city slicker kids.

Mnmom said...

Good one! Last week I flipped a dead mole into our lilac bushes. Ashes to ashes. Think of the nutrients you just gave your pine!!

Julie said...

LOL! My first thought was, "Well, that is going to stink in a day or two." Then the catching fuzzys line hit me. LOL! This is one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time!
