Toothaches and Rabbit Fetus's

Well, there is a very valid reason for my extreme tardiness in bloging as many of you already know.

Last Monday was my birthday and I got........ a toothache!!. Happy Birthday to me!!!
It was a tooth , long acting up.
An old filling from Childhood,gone astray from the rest, living on the street, prostituting it's self. so large that my tooth around it crumbled with age.
So, one lovely night , while eating a chicken tacquito, it broke. No pain mind you but I had just had my jaw mutilated by my dentist filling 3 teeth the month before and frankly I just couldn't take any more. Which was a mistake, this tooth could have possibly been saved but why cry over spilt milk eh? I'd rather have baby than get my teeth worked on to be perfectly honest.

So, long story short, I HAD to call a dentist , I had no choice in the matter since there were no babies to be had .

So I called, she saw me right away and told me the news I wanted to hear, "this tooth needs to go honey, it's in a really bad way."( I told her I knew all about it's checkered past already and I had no sympathy for it. I was gad to see it go)

I didn't want to spend money on a root canal and a crown. She hooked me up with pain killers and penicillin and sent me on my way to the oral surgeon for Thursday, where at 8 am, the evil offender was removed from it's lair!
Jaw hurts a little bit but I'm okay.
Moral of the story, take care of your teeth.

Now, the rabbit fetus.
Well, you may know this but if not, we have a very large rabbit population here in Twin Oaks. They eat every sprout I plant. I'm hoping Collin the cat and his scent will keep them out of my garden. Bill killed a nest of them two years back with the weed wacker because they have their babies in the most bizarre places. Not in the bushes under shrubs,where one might think they would etc., but in the middle my god damn lawn!
Last year, he got the back of one unfortunate bunny with the mower!. luckily, I was able to get that bunny to the ARK animal center and they stitched him up and released him back into the wild eventually. With surrogate bunny family. One minute your with your bunny brothers and sisters and Mom comes and feeds you here and there and the next you've got a gash in your back fur and your being stitched up by some lady and plopped in with a bunch of other unfortunate baby bunnies your age and released in a strange neighborhood, never to see your family again. All because your Mother is an uneducated schmuck and can't figure out how to properly;y build a home. And just where is the baby Daddy? DUH.
but from then on we check our lawn for rabbit nests before mowing.
So, apparently, our lady bunny was having bunny contractions and while giving birth on our lawn or an adjoining lawn, she must have been chased or scared by something and dropped a baby on the sidewalk and left it!
Of course, how were we supposed to know this . It was freezing cold out, the rabbit neonatal unit was unavailable and this poor thing died right there, still in his amniotic sac , cord and all, on our sidewalk. Ray and Ian found it. It was so sad and at the same time, kind of cool to be abel to see what that looked like(What? it was already gone, I could not have helped this poor creature)
Later on in the day, it was gone so they think an animal had it for dinner. We imagine a crow or some other scavenger bird.
the problem is, somewhere in my lawn are the others and these nest aren't what you might think they are. they are not open holes in the lawn, they are difficult to find until the bunnies are a few weeks old and jumping out when they hear the mower.
It's quite a dilemma really.
Moral of this story?
Don't have your babies on front lawns of Humans.
I hope you have all benefited form this blog in some way
