So actually, we do have a pet. I thought by the time we left on our trip that we would be petless, and I jumped the gun a bit. A quick trip to the vet, and voila!
Jumpy Rascal is a mini lop-eared rabbit that lives in our basement. He was supposedly going to be a classroom rabbit, spending most of his time in K's 2nd-grade classroom, and only coming home on weekends. I was also told that average rabbit life expectancy was about 4 years. That was 11 years ago. Rascal was named by the 2nd-graders (but you probably already figured that out). At first he went to school regularly (only rarely staying overnight). Over time, he went less and less, and is now pretty much fully retired. He is deaf and blind, and according to the vet, one of the oldest bunnies he's seen in 16 years of practice.
Lucky for us, Rascal has his own personal physician who will be giving him his antibiotics and caring for him while we're away. Thanks Doc, we couldn't do this without you!
Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to hearing tales from the road!
I already MISS you. Hope all your luggage showed up and you are on your way to Mt. Vernon! XOXO

ReplyDeleteHello Fellow Followers,
We just got off the phone with Kath who indicated they're off to a good start. They rode along the Potomac River and ended their 40 mile day in Woodbridge, VA.
We're looking forward to periodic updates of their fun and adventure.
Paul and Suzi
Thanks Paul and Suzi!
ReplyDeleteSteve and I were wondering this morning about the start.
News for ML & K:
Rascal didn't move overnight but is remaining in the best of health.
We ate the MOST excellent strawberries from up north.
I cashed the check K and have spent it on ice cream.
It's gray today.
I made Steve coffee this morning and he was beyond speech.
Hope the heat is turned down to manageable out there.
XO

WOW - I've missed that Directorate after all those years in D.C! I love it and wonder. . .
ReplyDeleteBut mostly you all look happy and that's sweet.
