You knew it was coming

Garmina Sr. died over a year ago; I’m not sure what took me so long to order another. I’m in love again. So you knew this was coming. I felt great until about mile 4 and then I started to lose speed – 4 AM is getting earlier and earlier.

In other news, I went to make the bed after my run and was surprised to find this:

I have no clue what it is. I’m thinking baby bunny, but it has no fur and it’s eyes weren’t even open yet. I’m pretty sure (hoping) one of the dogs brought it to bed with them during the middle of the night. Probably Rowdy since the Aussies would have just thought it were a midnight snack. And despite the one tooth puncture, it was still alive. I put it back outside (other side of fence) to see if it’s mom would come back and get it, but to no avail – sadly, it’s dead now. Any guesses as to what it is?

(working on the preventive med post now, I promise)

We’ve evolved into a pathology blog?

Yup, that’s a bunny. Or rather, it WAS a bunny. So nice to wake up to? Um, no.

Oh my god – I have no idea what that is – but poor thing to suffer like that.

Ali September 1, 2009 at 2:26 pm

I gotta say I didn’t see this coming.

like garmin stats, don’t like dead bunny

What the?!? bad Rowdy!

If it’s a bunny (and it does look like one) there will be more. I once removed 6 corpses in one day; luckily from the garden, not the bed!

Yep, the little head looks like a bunny. Poor thing. Our labs have brought us “presents” on occasion too.

So did you get the new, pretty (and downright dainty) Garmin?

Laurel September 1, 2009 at 6:02 pm

ahhh, poor wee bunny, well no one said Mother Nature was kind….

jeanne September 1, 2009 at 8:59 pm

wtf??! that’s what I call burying the lede! aren’t you afraid of spiders?? And you find an ET in your bed and you don’t totally freak?? I woulda called Sheriff Andy! STAT! In your bed no less! Argghhhh…I’m freaking out for you!

Rachel September 1, 2009 at 9:03 pm

watch out for horse heads next…

Adam Dopps September 1, 2009 at 9:51 pm

How do you find that in your bed and not freak out? At least just a little…

Jon (was) in Michigan September 1, 2009 at 10:01 pm

Yeah, dead bunny. Poor thing. My understanding is that even though you see a small puncture on critters that cats and dogs bring in, the internal injuries are usually a lot worse. :(

my anaconda want some fun because you’ve got bun, hun.

okay. i don’t have anything like an anaconda. i have a gi-giconda. still, the song is fun.

proportionally, that’s one big-ass puncture.

Glad you found it before it started stinking! :D It’s a new game fo Rowdy…Hide the Bunny!

txrunnergirl September 2, 2009 at 10:30 am

Awww, poor bunny! I hope you don’t get any more surprises!

21stCenturyMom September 3, 2009 at 12:06 am

It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who has a little problem with pacing. I don’t know how other people do it. I speed up, I slow down – can’t help it.

Tell Rowdy the game is called ‘hide the sausage’ not ‘hide the bunny’ and he’s not eligible to play, anyhow.

That’s sad. Hope the bunny didn’t have mixo.

Garmina Jr reveals all! I like this. Good run. Very speedy 4th mile! Then, I think, tiredness taking over (declining av HR). Not bad though. Keep it up Susan.

Runner Leana September 3, 2009 at 11:30 pm

Oh dear, poor bunny. :(
Congrats on the new Garmin though!

POOR BABY BUNNY!

Monica C. September 4, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Oh no! That is so sad/scary/freaky. The fact that it was still alive is really weirding me out, I think. POOR BUNNY. :(

Denise "Firefly" September 4, 2009 at 11:22 pm

So sad! Poor bunny!

Aka Alice September 6, 2009 at 12:53 am

I might be the only one who doesn’t feel sorry for the bunny. Bunnys (and squirrels) are disease carrying rodents and they eat all my flowers, so I hate them.

On the other hand…the new Garmin is bee-u-ti-ful!!!
