Tawt I Saw a Rabbit

I saved a rabbit today:) I think. I'm pretty sure. I hope like hell.

This wild, pretty bunny lay at the side of the road in the grass and wiggled when I and Thumper went by on our walk. He/she couldn't move, but his eyes were bright (and scared). There was nothing I could do with the dog in tow, so I headed home. I got a box, lined it with a hand towel, put on gloves and went to get me a wabbit. Poor baby was still there, so I picked him up (or her, I don't know) and put him in the box, which he didn't care for much.  There may have been a small bone poking through his leg, and there was a small amount of blood on both legs but they weren't crushed.

I was in the van with bunny in hand, rubbing his little shoulders because he didn't seem to stir so much when I rubbed (probably thought I was getting ready to take a mouthful of wabbit shoulder, poor baby). This wasn't a well-thought out plan - years ago I knew UT's vet school took in hurt wildlife, but it'd been years since I'd dropped in. Couldn't quite remember how to get there, so I get to a stop sign and call Cass, cradling the cell phone on my shoulder (yeah, imagine me bowed up double), one hand on wascally wabbit and the other on the steering wheel. Anyway, Cass googles, gives me the address and off we go. Such a cutie pie, with his big dark eyes and brownish fur. They took him in, said they had a rehabber who takes the bunnies in after they get better and releases them into the wild again in groups. I checked the box that asked them to let me know how he/she is, so here's hoping.

Send him/her your good karma:)
I found a picture online that looks a lot like him/her:
