Figure out what to do with Amber

Well, we still have Amber, BUT…...only to get her big and strong enough to be released. The girls understand as a wild rabbit we really shouldn’t be keeping her, and it is the right thing to let her go. So another week or so, and we’ll release her, say a prayer…..and hope she survives out in the big blue yonder :)

which my brother in law found caught in a trap last Sunday. He released it from the trap, but found it was injured and for some unknown reason, decided to bring it to my house for my youngest daughter to try and nurse back to health. I was not home at the time (luckily for him) – and he left with the parting comment of “it will probably only live an hour or two, take good care of it”. I felt like chasing him up just to wring his neck when I arrived home to find my daughter snuggled up with the poor injured thing which she had named Amber. I was thinking…....this will all end in tears VERY SOON.

Twice during that day we thought it had died. But….each time it amazingly made a recovery. We started feeding it two hourly with an eye dropper, and slowly but surely Amber has become stronger and we have had her for a week now.

The thing is…....what do I do with this rabbit now? My daughters have both become very attached to it. My cats would love to see it go, or get rid of it themselves (they are far from happy about having a rabbit in the house).

Will have to come to a decision on this one soon sigh.
