She was pretty sanguine about it, the only time I ever saw her upset was the day the telephone company guy came to fix the phone. The jack was situated under her bed and when he moved it out from the wall to do his work, several bits and pieces of bunny were exposed. She had previously checked, but we think the pieces got "lost" in the pattern of the carpet. Telephone guy never said a word though; he just did not put the bed back, so my friend did not know what he had found until after he went away. Her comment? "I thought he looked at me strangely when he left."
oh, dear, i'm sitting here LOLing -- what an awesome story. would have been awesome if he had said "uhh... m'am? there seem to be bunny bits under your bed here. get hungry round midnight? need a snack?"
This is the "I know they say white wine with white meat, but how would you feel about a merlot with substance (hint hint)" look. The proper response is a head scratch and a belly rub, accompanied with profuse praise that goes along these lines: "What a considerate beastie ... bringing home the, uh, bacon".
I can do mice and voles and even shredded birds (little cringy about those), but I have to do some "ohms" to buck up and ziplock the wee rigoured baby bunnies. Complete empathy.
Good boy toshi! you protect the house from that evil soft harmless fluffy bunny... sigh. He thought he was protecting.... sigh.
I read somewhere that our pets deposit presents on the front porch because, really, they feel sorry for us. We really are pretty useless in all things, even with our opposable thumbs, and they take pity on our uselessness and need to provide for us, you see.

Just look at "...the soul in the shining eyes of him...".
I used to live with a girl who had several cats that would bring rabbits into the house, and then dismember them under the beds. Good times.
