Yesterday I adopted a bunny!

Yesterday afternoon my stepson is sitting at his desk and yells to me, "Hey, there is a bunny in the road!" I didn't believe him at first because we love to say random things and play little pranks on each other. Then he said, "There really IS a rabbit in the road, LOOK!" So I looked. Sure enough, now on the grass in the side of our road there was a little white and grey bunny. I went across the street and she was very easy to catch, and very tame. It's obvious she is someone's pet. I went all around the neighborhood and asked people if they knew where it came from or if it were their pet. No one claimed her. The people right next door to us said they think it belonged to this man in our neighborhood who is mentally ill and is a known animal abuser. They had seen him with the rabbit last week I guess. The thing is, he was one of the people I asked if he owned the rabbit, and he had told me no. I told my neighbors that I found her in the middle of the road and they think probably that guy just dumped her outside and was tired of her. I couldn't leave her there to get hit so we brought her in. We had a pet carrier that wasn't being used so we put her in there with some cedar shavings and we got some bunny food from the store. She's very cuddly and soft and very affectionate. We are calling her Li'l Bit. One of my sons says we shouldn't keep her because we already have a dog and three cats. I just can't let her be an orphan. I'm such a softy.
