Imagine a world without bunnies...

Our friend Jack came to visit us in Santa Cruz last Tuesday. We wanted him to be able to crash on the couch and not be surrounded by rabbits, despite his assurances that he has excellent allergy medication. So, I decided to see if it would be possible to temporarily move the all the rabbits upstairs.

Steve has been really busy with work and had a meeting lasting into the evening, so I decided to see if I could manage the move myself. In the end, I was able to move all five rabbits and their various enclosures up the stairs and into our bedroom. It wasn't the smartest thing I've ever attempted on my own, but there appears to be no lasting damage to myself, the bunnies or the house.

I tried to take a picture of our bunny-less downstairs, but our place is small enough that getting a good angle on the room was difficult. Here's the best result (with our ridiculously dusty banister):


It was nice to have the extra space, and Jack seemed to fare well on the couch. But once Jack left, I found the emptiness a bit disconcerting. Steve helped me move the bunnies back downstairs that evening.

It's definitely something we would do again if visitors are in town. I think it was worth the effort to make things a little less allergenic and it certainly gave the downstairs a less cramped feel.
