OH MY GOD CUTENESS OVERLOAD.

When I was out on one of my semi-regular evening walks last night, I spied a white bunny rabbit hopping across someone’s un-fenced front yard. As cold-hearted as I might seem at times, I’m actually a sucker for cute and cuddly animals, and have a real soft spot for bunny rabbits.

I did my patented cooing-in-a-baby-voice (perfected after years working in maternity wear and baby gear retail) as I slowly crept towards the bunny. It tried to hop away, but I managed to grab hold of it. For a split second, I was tempted to take the bunny home for my very own before coming to my senses and realising that I’m not home nearly enough to take proper care of an animal. With a sense of regret, I knocked on their door and returned the bunny to them.

Unfortunately it was pitch black, so I couldn’t take a photo of the little cutie before I left, but that one little incident made my night. The fatigue, the chilly weather, the unnecessary physical toil after a long working day…one little cutie made it all worthwhile. What can I say, I’m a softie.
