BABIES and Daphne is a boy...

So when it rains it pours and we got a baby great horned owl and a littler of 4 baby bunnies this week...although during peak baby season I hear there is a line out the door of people with babies every day. Anyway, if you didn't know, baby great horned owls look like muppets and like if you pushed them just a very little bit they would fall over:His name is Oscar I decided today. Aaaaaand here are baby bunnies so cute that it hurts:


I was thinking Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter (or is that too cliche?). Plus I think that's just tempting the fates for one to kick the bucket and thus leave an incomplete set, and I don't really want to have to tell people that Peter Rabbit died....Anyway, in other news: Daphne is a boy! I had a sneaking suspicion and I guess Dara must have rushed when we got him in. Melissa (another awesome volunteer and ex-intern) had come by to bring Delilah for babysitting while she is on vacation and she was holding "Daphne" while I was on the phone. I was on the phone forever with a woman asking if it was normal for deer to lie down sometimes (it is indeed) and Melissa wrote something on a post-it and put it in front of me. Thinking it would say something like "Sorry I gotta go, bye!" I read it. It said "Daphne has a penis". I then laughed accidentally to the annoyance of the woman on the phone. Anyway, Dara double checked and the fox is indeed a boy and thus in need of a new name. Any suggestions? Marissa has suggested Alphie along with the idea that the babies be named alphabetically as they arrive which I like...although I just wrecked it with Oscar....hm. Anyway, leave suggestions and also watch this video of "Daphne" being horrifically cute.
