Last week I was in Quebec City. A beautiful City and I had a great time except for one thing…it’s like totally un-bunny! I wanted to get my guys a little present to bring back home so I went to 3 pet stores and they had next to nothing for bunnies. Just yucky looking hay, pellets and a couple of unhealthy treats. I went to a pet store that sells animal supplies as well as tons of animal themed houswares, accessories and nicknacks. Not one thing rabbit related!!! I ended up getting them some little kitty jingle balls (Olivia was very excited when I gave her this, when she really likes new toys she takes them into her house…it’s all mine. Not sharing!
). At one pet store they had about a dozen itty bitty Mini-Rex’s that I had to squee over (don’t worry I didn’t buy anything in that store!)
I also always buy a plushie bunny on every trip I take. Nothing. I couldn’t find any freaking plush bunnies other than the build-a-bear store. I went to two 2-level malls. Nothing! I ended up buying a really cute squirrel plushie. I did enjoy the Hello Kitty store though!
We stayed downtown in the old fortified part of the city which was neat and near the hotel there was a park where I always saw the most beautiful squirrels. Huge black squirrels. We only have the little psycotic brown squirrels where I live. I actually seen a man downtown with a bunny, looked like a standard Rex, on a leash. The poor little guy looked absolutely terrified! The City is crazy busy and nosiy. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but he was surrounded by tons of people wanting to pat the bunny.
Two other things I didn’t like though…one is they give horse drawn carriage rides in the city. I think this is cruelty to animals…horses shouldn’t have 10 hour jobs. And we went into a pub for supper and there was horse on the menu! I’ve never seen this before and I was super disgusted!! All I could envision was my horse’s flank being chopped off and put on a plate. Ugh…I hightailed it out of there and went to a nice salad and sandwich place.
