I spent my three day weekend helping my mom with the various tasks of the rabbitry business. This was quite the sacrifice of time and service. I do not mean this as a complaint, but instead a learning experience.
I am often found as mom's right hand man (or woman, as she would say) helping to keep her head screwed on straight. This is quite the burden, but maybe it's a blessing too. Well, that was way of track. Lol. Mom, some friends of hers, and myself loaded the truck early Saturday morning and headed to Norwalk's TSC. Our goal: to place cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs in goo homes. This was, well not so successful. Anyway, while mom's friends worked on placing animals, mom and I headed to Ashland to get rabbit feed. Fter loading the feed, we headed back to Oberlin, to unload. This was an adventure. We had a time limit and a lot of feed to put away. It would have taken mom a lot longer on her own, if I hadn't been there.
We managed to unload everything and put into the proper bins, for storage. By the time it was time to go mom had a few more bags to deal with, while I helped with keeping the ball rolling and the mom out of stress land. Before we left for TSC again, mom asked Bandit if he wanted to go for ride. Of course Bandit did. (He takes every chance he can to leave the barn.) He was so cute becuase he hopped right into the front seat and sat there with that look of "Let's go!" and so we did.
When we got back to TSC, we found that one bunny was placed and the rest were coming home, again. We were glad that one had been placed and hoped that the word would be spread byt the time we came back in two weeks. Anyway, we loaded up and headed back to Oberlin. Upon returning to Oberlin we unloaded, put away an feed all of the bunnies. This took a while, as for it was dark, cold, and everyone was tired. Finally, we finished and headed home. Home to bed and sleep.
It was a long day full of adventures. As I think about it I wonder how much my mom really appreciates my help. Sometimes I wonderwhy I even bother. I guess in some way it's because I care.
