What to do?

Anyone heard of deja vu? It seems to be happening to me more and more these days. Why do you ask? Well in October 2006 I was going for lunch with Donna and her mother at a place called Jade Dynasty located at Leslie and Finch. When we got out of the car, Donna spotted (no pun intended!) a bunny sitting in the parking lot. As we were proud owners of 2 bunnies, we got excited and wanted to get a closer look at him. When we approached the bunny, we realized that it was not a wild bunny; and it was likely that the poor thing was abandoned. In a nutshell, we spent 2 days in the parking lot and finally caught him and brought him home. The bunny is at my house as happy as can be that he didn't end up being some other animal's lunch.

Now let's fast forward to October 2007, when I was with Donna one day heading to her house at night. When we pulled into her driveway we saw a box sitting on her front lawn with a bag sitting next to it. Wondering what it was , we cautiously opened to door of the car only to hear a cat screaming at the top of its lungs inside of the box. We picked up the box and brought it into the garage and opened it up. Inside was a kitten, no older than three months old who was very hungry and stressed. We kept the kitten in the bathroom that night and then brought it home to my place where she remains to this very day.

So now here it is, in June of 2008. I was just leaving the Driftwood community centre after an evening of playing badminton. We were all going to go to Congee Wong to grab some dinner and everyone had left just before me as I was trying to gather my wallet and phone from my badminton bag. As I was pulling out of my parking spot, I so 2 red eyes glowing from the lights of my car. I immidiately got out of the car to take a closer look, and sure enough it was ANOTHER bunny! A little white thing took one look at me and ran up to me like he wanted me to save him. Another abandoned animal it seems, so I picked the little guy up and put him in the back seat of my car and took him home. The poor little guy seemed like he hadn't eaten or drank anything for quite a while, as he sucked back the food and water that I gave to him like a vacuum and stated begging for more. I gave the little guy some hay as well and he nibbled on that for a while. Afterwards I picked him up and examined him for any signs of illness or injury. He had some dirty stuff stuck on some parts of his fur, but luckily he had no obvious signs of sickness. I took a look as his hind legs and saw that there was some fur missing along with irritated-looking bare skin. I had some topical medication that I had left over from a previous bunny "issue" and applied it to the bare skin. The bunny did not like this, as he struggled to break free as it was apparent that this was hurting him. I put him back into his cage and went to bed that night. The next morning I went to check up on him to apply more medicine and to feed him. Luckily the second time didn't seem to bother his leg. Hopefully the little guy is starting to feel better. His "plumbing" is starting to look more "bunny like" which is also a relief. I won't get into any detail though, as you probably don't want to hear about it.

So of course, this leads me to the question, "what the heck am I going to do now?" It seems that I am starting my own army of stray pets; hopefully one day I can build one big enough to destroy the horrible people who abandon these poor creatures in the first place!
