ok, so one last thing before Susan makes a new blog for Winston and Vega. I took lots of pics on my journey so I thought I would share them here:
PART 1: Crossing the Border, Travelling to Nadia'sin Downtown Toronto: :running bunny
I left here around 9:30 yesterday morning with the car packed and the buns reluctant to make their final long car ride to their new home. We got to the border around 10:30 (Susan, tell Chris I was wrong, Sarnia is only about an hour from me
). I got through the border fairly quickly, but you guys should have seen the look on the border patrol man's face when I told him what my "business" was in Canada.
First, he asks me where Im going, "to Toronto to visit friends" is my reply.
"How do you know these friends", he asks. :huh
"Um...through the internet"... :whistling
"Like how through the internet"...
"Ummm.. through a rabbit forum actually and Im bringing them two domesticrabbits".
"a rabbit forum... and you're giving them rabbits?" :shock:
He looked very confused and weirded out by the whole thing- probably one of the strangest stories he had ever heard. He let me through and we were on our way.
It took me about 3 more hours to reach Toronto after getting a little sidetracked (No, Haley, youre not going to NiagaraFalls :?). I alsogot off the expressway a little too early in Torontoand wound up going the scenic route through the city. It was a good mistake though, it was so pretty by the water with the sun shining and the cool breeze!
I was running out of gas though and couldnt, for the life of me, find a gas station (or when I did I was on the wrong side of the road or something) and then Im so busy looking for a gas station that I get lost. :shock: I stop and call Nadia and thankfully she knows just where I am (not too far from her as luck would have it) so she directed me to a gas station and then to her house. It took me a totalof about5 hours to get there but it would have been about 4.5 if not for traffic and getting lost.
Nadia's house is beautiful and so welcoming. She and Neil are just two of the nicest people you will ever meet. I got to meet all three of the bunnies and Misty was on her best behavior: she didnt even try to bite me (although she might have if Nadia didnt warn me when Misty put her ears back
).
I'll shut up now and post some pics:
Misty and Charlie in their condo:
Sweet Oliver (who would hardlysit still long enough to get a good pic :biggrin2
. You can see his battle wound on his side there:
Me and Nadia (isnt she beautiful?
) with Winston and Vega:
The newlyweds, Nadia and Neil, with Winston:
We let Winston and Vega out to run in Nadia's living room and Vega found a place to hide and flopped right out! Winston went and hid behind her to groom himself. We stayed for about an hour and visited. I wish we could have stayed longer. I would have loved to play with Misty and Charlie and Oliver for hours. But alas, Susan was waiting patiently for her new charges and so we had to get back on the road.
"Part II: Travelling to Ajax to meet Susan, Chris, Crystal and the crew"to come tomorrow.......as you can imagine,I'm beat :yawn:
