holy freaking crap

Balto was crying, so I finally went over to see what had him upset. Sachiko was in her bed, making "burying" motions with her nose.

Me: Strange, there's an extra stuffed animal in there. Haven't seen.. OMFG IT'S A BABY RABBIT OMG HOLY CRAP
Balto: OH NOES THE WORLD IS ENDING
Sachiko: HEY THAT'S MINE
Me: yes? Animal control? what do I do? Should I take it somewhere?
Balto: OH NOES THE WORLD IS ENDING
Animal control: Are its eyes open?
Balto: OH NOES THE WORLD IS ENDING
Sachiko: My baby!
Me: Yes, and it's bigger than a tennis ball.
Balto: OH NOES THE WORLD IS ENDING
Sachiko: My baby!
Animal control: Scoop it up, take it outside. It'll be fine.
Balto: OH NOES THE WORLD IS ENDING
Me: Somewhere the dogs won't find it, you mean.

I put on gloves, scoop up baby rabbit, take it outside, and return to find Sachiko in the backyard searching for something. Unh-hunh, while Balto runs around like a big dog chicken with its head cut off.

The cats haven't noticed a thing.

bigger than a tennis ball.
