Friday no more

We have found a new home for our rabbit Friday aka Audrey. Her hutch was so little for such a hefty lady and when we let her out she traversed the streets and neighbours gardens and scared the locals alittle - a huge black rabbit looming on the horizon at twilight is a freaky site, even for me who knew it was Friday!

On Saturday we had the Kindy Christmas party at the local petting zoo and so the night before I rang and asked if they would like Friday. They were very happy to accommodate her so when we went to the party we took her along, squeezed into a cat box. Bax thought it was great taking our own rabbit to the petting zoo.

The staff there were so admiring of her condition and size. They put her in with all the other lady-rabbits (well only two of them (a nana rabbit and a mummy)) and a whole tribe of babies. At first Friday looked nervous and they all chased each other in a big furry circle of chaos. We checked in on her often during the party and told everyone she was our rabbit. By the time we left she was asleep in the ahde with a whole pile of baby bunnies asleep on top of her.

We will miss her but she was a bit of a grump and a little stuck up.

Bax asked about four times during the weekend "Can we go and get Friday from her holiday now?" I said to him yesterday afternoon "What do you think about letting Friday live with the rabbit family instead of with us?" he thought that would be alright.

At home we cleaned up her hutch and picked it up to let the grass begin to grow back.

We loved having Friday and one day when we can construct the world's largest hutch we will have another rabbit - another Flemish Giant, maybe one of her babies or grandbabies.
