Rabbit massacre

Unfortunately, this massacre isn't as funny as the penguin massacre, because there was a real bunny involved in this one. Every morning we take the dogs out a few times to make sure that there are little if no "surprises" in the dog room when we get home. And they are really good about taking their sweet old time or just trying to trick us into letting them back in from the cold without actually doing anything. They will take a loop around, and then come back to the door. So Jon and I will go into another room (that has a better backyard view) to make sure business has been taken care of. In the very short time it took for us to go into this next room, Bella had seen, chased down and snatched a big rabbit from who knows where. Poor girl was so excited and happy with her prize, both Jon and I... appalled :P. We run to the back door and call for the dogs. Bo was very uninterested in the commotion, going about his morning routine, but Bella was just dancing around with poor bunny and wanted to bring her new fluffy inside (eeeeewwww). We got her to drop it and come in, but poor Mr. Bunny was still alive. In our moral dilemma of do we end it's obvious suffering or let nature take it course, it passed on to it's own bunny heaven where there aren't any greyhounds with thousands of years of instinct going after it. Which was good for us b/c we found out that neither of us could do intentional harm to an animal. Bella was very distressed that we let her bunny go to waste. She was whining and amiling and scratching to back outside to find her lost treasure. No such luck honey. I had the camera right by the back door so there is a picture with her find, but I'm kind of heistant to post it though. It isn't grusome, but it is a caught rabbit. Now we have the fun job of waiting to see if there were any fun germies in the bunny that has been given to Bella. Non stop fun in the Peckham household.
