Vega and Winston's Travel Blog- THEY'RE HOME!

[Haley]

Just checking in

Lauren, did my friend Denise get ahold of you about Wednesday?

Julia (iluvmybuns) helped me today by bringing up Denise's bun, Gabby, who shes fostering, so hopefully Denise can meet you and then come meet me to exchange bunnies. :biggrin2:

I can't believe i missed this thread, been so busy, but if the buns haven't cross the border yet, you shouldn't have any problems. There are no papers needed for bunnies, all you need to do is declair them. I wish I would have seen this sooner I would have loved to help. Hope everything goes well guys, good luck Vega and Winston here in Canada.

aww its too bad Im not coming through Windsor! I think I'll take the bluewater since its closer to me up here near Flint.

Im wondering how many bags of Oxbow they'll let me get across the border with. Anyone think it will be a problem to take 2 or 3 50 lb bags? :biggrin2:

Howhave the babies been? Are they behaving? especially Winston, he sounds like he can get into mischief.

Daisy Mae and I are getting more excited as every day passes.

Sorry, I couldn't get on the site since Saturday for some reason! They're doing good. Winston loves to rearrange EVERYTHING at night. This morning, I found his plastic igloo on the other side of his cage upside down! I knew I heard a ruckus last night! They were snuggling this morning. It's hot here in Chicago today, so I kept the air on 77/78 and they all have frozen water bottles and I gave Winston and Vega a frozen piece of marble to lay on. Plus, they all have a ton of water to keep them cool.

Haley, yes, Denise got in touch with me. I gave her my contact info. I think we're going to meet at Cracker Barrel by my house. However, she didn't give me a time. Hope she contacts me tonight. If not, I'll get a hold of her.

 

[Haley]

aww sounds like theyre having fun with auntie Lauren :biggrin2:

I think Denise was thinking sometime early evening. Like maybe 5-6 pm. She leaves Branson, MO in the morning and thats 8 hours from you. So if they left at 9am and drove straight through they would be there around 5.

Thanks again Lauren for all youre doing!

 

[lalena2148]

Alright, Haley. They're on their way to you! I met Denise at 4pm today (sorry, my internet was done). I miss them already, but I know they found a great permanent home!

Have fun Haley!

inkbouce:inkelepht:They are getting closer. :bunnydance::dancingorig:I'm getting more excited.

Thanks Laureen for everything you have done:bambiandthumper

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Aww, Susan, this is getting excitinginkbouce:. Can't wait til Haley has them. Have a safe journey babies!

 

[Haley]

Yay! Thanks Lauren!

Denise was going to meet me tomorrow since she was getting back late tonight, but I gota call from her just now telling me shes bringing them here tonight!

Im not sure but if she left Lauren at 4 (so 5 EST) she should be here around 9 or so. Yay, Im so excited- Winston and Mr. Tumnus under one roof. What a lucky girl I am

Oh shoot, turns out Im not getting them until tomorrow now.

Denise figured it was about 30 miles out of her way to bring them tonight, and shes so tired from her long drive. So I'll get them tomorrow afternoon. I get out of class around 1200 and then dont have class again until 430 so I should have just enough time to pick them up, set up their cage and get to class

 

[SOOOSKA]

Haley I thought you were finished school. What are you taking now and how many more years do you have? For some reason I thought you were going to teach this year.

Susan:bunnydance:

 

[Haley]

Nope, I still have another 2 semesters of classes, then my student teaching next fall. Then Im done.

I have my B.A. already from MSU so this is just a 2 yr program for my teaching certificate in Social Studies and English. My semester is crazy right now though- 8 hours of class a day and 8 hours of teaching observation at a school per week. Plus I have to work as well

 

[Haley]

Theyre here!

I probably have just enough time to get their pen set up before I head back to class. I'll try and get some pics this evening. They are so cute!

Vega came right out to say hello and explore. Shes very sweet- her demeanor and expressions remind me of Jackie and Wilbur (from what Ive seen in videos). Winston is just adorable- hes soo tiny! He almost looks like a little guinnea pig he's so little. Hes very scared right now so Im leaving him be.

Boy they are travelling with a lot of stuff! I wish Crystal and Lauren wouldve taken some of this hay since I cant get it across the border. They came with food, litter, NIC panels, toys, bowls etc. Wow!

And Crystal- tell your friend we said thank you for the carrier. Its so nice and roomy for them on their long journey That was so nice of her to donate it.

Pics to come soon (hopefully). :biggrin2:

 

[lalena2148]

They are cute, aren't they! Vega is defnitely more open to being held and snuggled. She chilled with me on the couch for a few hours one day. Winston is skittish and hates being held, although he'll allow a few nose rubs in a few daysI'm guessing...and watch out, as he's lost some of his litterbox manners and tends to go in the opposite corner. Vega is ok with hers.

And yes, I wish I had taken some hay...oh well!

Have fun with them...I had a blast!

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

I know Lauren, I wish now I would have too! I had mentioned that before because it is ALOT!:shock: Aw, well Haley, with all the buns you are fostering and that you have, you'll need it more than us anyway.

Ha, my first thought when seeing Winston, he does look like a guinea pig.

Yeah, Lauren, they (didn't know who) was kind of not always using their litter pan when I had them:shock:. One more journey, and they'll be in their forever home, it shouldn't take much to get Winston back on track with using the litter box.

Susan? How excited are you now?

 

[SOOOSKA]

[align=center]VERY EXCITED[/align]

[align=left]We are all looking forward to both Winston and Vega joining our Bunny Family. Daisy Mae is especially excited, she is longing for friends. I feel so bad every time we let her out to run, she goes right to Wilbur & Jackies door looking at them through the baby gate.[/align]

[align=left]I can hardly wait for more pictures of the two of them.[/align]

[align=left]And look I saved my 3000 post for my new babies blog.[/align]

As promised:

Handsome Winston:

Beautiful Vega:

Just Playing:

As you can see, Vega needs to lose some weight. Theyre being fed Purina Rabbit Chowso Im going to start gradually switching them over to Oxbow which should definitely help her trim down a little.

They are so cute, Susan!

 

[SOOOSKA]

OMG Haley they are adorable, great pictures. Winston does look small compared to Vega. What kind of hay is that it looks so nice and green.
