the ultimate bunny roadtrip,, completed

[longhairmike]

wednesday morning, we left chicago at 4:10 am… the buns were in a 2-story, 2×3 NIC grid cage in the back of my ford escape (rear seats down)

we had a motel reservation at motel 6 in Elk City, OK about 90 miles west of oklahoma city (about 890 miles from start),, we got there and checked in around 6pm.. the first thing we did was unload the cage to get them inside,, BUT their stupid door setup (with hydraulic shock) did not permit the door to open fully and we could not fit the cage into the room. we put them back in the car and canceled the reservation. We drove on westbound in Interstate 40 all the way to the New Mexico welcome center where we decided to just sleep in the car for 7 hours (or try to at least),, thus concluded 20 hours of driving on day 1.

day 2 we continued west on 40 to Holbrook, AZ where i canceled the 2nd nites hotel reservation, and we continued SW on AZ 260 thru payson and down to our new home in Mesa. We arrived around noon, 1740 miles. i think the buns had it easiest. they could sleep and eat whenever they wanted. we had a comforter thrown over the top and sides of the cage so as to not disorient them. me,, my butt was sore for the next 48 hours from driving for so long.

We’re supposed to have our first 110 degree days wed & thursday, but we have an awesome A/C system in this house and the buns love it. even 78-80 with the ceiling fans is amazingly comfy when theres almost no humidity.

That’s a long drive for bunnies! I don’t even think I could tolerate 20 hours of driving in one day.

You should e-mail this story to all those people on kijiji who “are moving so have to get rid of the bunny”.

Glad everyone and everybun made it safe and sound :~)

We are in the 100’s where I live as well and whew, I know I couldn’t survive without my a/c.

Congrats on the move! I can’t imagine driving 20 hours – I’ve done around 12 in a day and I’m ready to lose it at that point.

Glad the bunnies made it safely!

Now THAT’S Bunny LOVE!
congrats on completing the move. That was the sweetest story of bunnies before slaves I’ve heard in a long time. Wishing you soft new throw pillows for your butt on fabulous sale.

LOL, I laughed at your comment, LPT. It is true. Even though I moved just 5 minutes away from where I live, I don’t think I could leave without Chacha. Even if that meant me moving to another state, I would move her, even if she was stressed. i would make sure to have small stops here and there!

Even if they were stressed, think of how stressful it would be to be rehomed and thrust into a new life. Or worse a shelter!

His bunnies are ridiculously adorable though. How could anyone leave them little rex’s behind?
