Last week Star travelled all the way to Michigan to visit her favorite aunty. Mommy and Gpa rented a shiny, new, red Chevy HHR and made the trip all in one (long) day. Being a (very) unusual rabbit, Star enjoyed the drive. She traveled in pampered luxury, as usual. The carry-cabin was lined with two virgin towels, just waiting to be deconstructed by eager bunny teeth. A large pile of pre-trip h'ordeurves from the garden filled the empty spot in Star's tummy. That and the irresistable combination of cold a/c and human conversation lulled her into sleeping most of the journey. When she was awake, the lure of towel deconstruction and occasional tidbits of papaya ensured a pleasant demeanor on arrival.
Aunty generously gave up her guest bathroom for Star's use and, though mommy invaded to use the toilet and shower occasionally, it wasn't long before Star relaxed into her new home away from home. Aunty's adoring compliments and ear-nose-cheek pets certainly helped, too.
The day of departure came way too soon! Star sadly waved goodbye to the endless banquet of dandelion greens, curly endive, and mint bouquets which seem only to be found in Michigan :( Gpa was happy to be getting home and mommy was teary but everything went smoothly and by the time she got back to her own house, Star was bleary-eyed and yawning.
"There is nothing like one's own hay" Star said to her mommy as she dived into a large pile of it before falling asleep with a big mouthful, half chewed.
We miss you already, Aunty!
