Doggie diaries: The story of Rosie and Sophie Bunny home wreckers

Leave it to the pups to dig up a bunnie nest with five tiny rabbits not quite old enough to walk. It was raining late Friday and I had them on the leash in the backyard when I heard a squeak like a dog toy — but more urgent and less industrial.

I checked and discovered the rabbits, walked the dogs away and went back later. I found four bunnies in a state resembling shock. I kept the dogs away and waited for the rain to stop.

Finally, I went out in the back with Annie'sister to corral ther rabbits in a shoe box until I could dig a hole on the other side of the fence for a new nest, where we placed what turned out to be five bunnies.

Dogs are a lot of fun, aren't they.
