Some Australian friends of mine who've recently moved to Philadelphia are having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the US doesn't get a four-day public holiday weekend over Easter (Fri-Mon) and that you can't get proper Hot Cross Buns.

Get this, Spence: you can get Hot Cross Buns all year 'round in Ireland. This makes my wife very happy.

My kids and I scared a baby bunny out our woodpile today. We chased it a while. It wasn't super fast, and I thought we could put it in a box and give it some lettuce or something. It got away from me and darted into my neighbor's yard where their dog promptly snatched it up. The little squeak it gave out as the dog bit into about killed me.
My neighbor got the dog away, but it hadn't finished off the bunny so I had to.
Folks, I had to take a bunny's head off with a shovel the day before Easter. I am certain that the karma is going to fuck me right the fuck up.
Luckily, my kids were still one yard away. I told them that the fucking rabbit got away.

Ugh. This happened to me once, pre kids. My wife was in the garden and found 3 or 4 baby bunnies under a bush. I was on the porch with the dog. The dog leapt off porch, and bit into one. I wish we had let him finish the thing off, instead we pulled him away and I had to throw a 50 pound landscaping rock onto the damn thing. I felt really really bad.
*side note, has anyone ever noticed how many fucking fleas are on "outside" animals ? Jesus christ, I bet Batemans cat is covered!

Karma isn't going to fuck you up for doing the only humane thing you could at the time. Taking it to the vet could have been an option? Expensive good deed. I say cook it, eat it and make two rabbit feet keychains out of it.
You've already used a shovel on it, so no need to be squeamish about skinning it.

I'm not finishing the dog's dinner.
