A Chip Off the Old Block
This is James, my favorite baby bunny from Stewart and Petunia’s three litters this year. The shape and size of his ears and his white-patched ruffly fur are pure Petunia. But his trim size and personality are all Stewart.
To my delight, James, like his father Stewart, companionably hops out of his hidey hole to check things out when I’m in the yard. I can stand or sit less than five feet from him without causing him any alarm, although he is a bit camera shy and will not let me as close if I have That Suspicious Camera that Makes Dangerous Noises in my hand.
Unlike Stewart, James becomes very skittish if anyone else appears, and instantly bolts for safety, for which I’m glad.
A shy bunny is a safer bunny, when it comes to the Big Wide World.

So adorable! He looks so soft and sweet.
Where’s that stray cat when you need her
OK ok, James is cute, I’ll give him that. 
Wait a goll darn minute, I just re-read your post.
THREE litters? This Year
Hmph!
Three litters. This year. That was last week. Yesterday while I was talking to James a little bitty baby bunny hopped out from under the ferns. So that makes… four.
Dan, you’re cheering on that marmalade cat (it’s under my porch at this moment) just because you’re going to feel terrible when Rudy or Abby actually catch one of the bunnies instead of chasing it into our yard!
