OH- NOTHING IN PARTICULAR ....
Like most folks I suppose, BL and I have a diverse collection of close relatives, distant ones, quasi-adopted ones, some becoming un-relatives, and some working on becoming relatives - maybe. Such was our group that came to visit Sunday ...
Gemma (visiting here) eats carrots - this is because Gemma lives with a family of vegetarians and does not know about meat. Bunns think Gemma is very cool. Gemma is a $100,000 dog. This is because first, Gemma just had a $15,000 hip rebuild. Gemma had the $15,000 hip rebuild because Gemma is also, second, what you know as a Seeing-Eye dog - very well trained, at great expense.
These little cuteys (about 3 yrs. old) - I am not sure they ever stood still - are the twin daughters of the lady who has Gemma. They are from what you call artificial implanting and etc. Yes, the lady is blind since early childhood, born in Mexico ... but she can ski, ride a bike and do the sport where you cross country ski and shoot a gun at targets. (It's done with her ears!) Full time job, own condominium, rides the bus to work - all pretty normal stuff. She is the girl friend of #1 son. Other than a lot of native smarts and being a really nice guy, he has no such claims to fame.
The girls like bunnies and these two - Goldie and Chico - certainly returned the favor.

For the rest, you'll need to wait for the book....

NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR DARK OF NIGHT ....
The Princess in her all-purpose, outdoor-pen, bunny-perfected, protection-device.

BENJI'S EYE ...
Benji's left eye has been moist and his cheek fur a bit wet for the past few days. He had to go to the V. E. T. He apparently has an infection and gets a drop 3 times a day. Poor BL - she is the one who got the instructions and is trained to do it.
But ... lucky Benji! He gets extra snuggles and treats too!

THEY ARE BACK ....
"So, Baxter - what is your opinion of the hired help? Did they do good?"
"Yea Zoey - they did. Not like the usual crowd, but they did OK."
"Should we tell all of them that?"
"No Zoey - they would not understand and we would ruin our image."
"Hi guys! It's great to be home and we missed you all. Did you miss us???" (Maybe just a little?)
Fishing was awful - BL got 3 of the 4 we caught (panfish) - but there was good company and a great little get-a-way. It should have been high 70's/low 80's but was cloudy, spitting rain, windy, and cool! Big thanks to Laura and Dave from RenoRabbits for the good care of The Bunns!

Friends-of-the-Animals (Laura and Dave) - from RenoRabbits are cleaning, petting, feeding, taking in and out, and generally doing the work required ... what a treat for us.
Will report back in Monday evening - maybe Laura will leave some tidbits about the adventure on her blog.
