Summer Bunny died today. She was afflicted by bot flies in this hot and sticky weather. They laid eggs which eat into the flesh and kill animals. We didn’t realize this in time, then it was too late. Summer Bunny was the first tortoise bunny we bought after Mister Rex died in June 2008 – [...]

July 10 – day dawned nicely. I headed out to Galena, IL, about 8:10. Nice to be on the road. Shopped Poopsies while waiting for Sue Hrobar to come. Something about a long time friend that eases visiting. How do we get lost in small towns? We had to move the cars after three hours [...]
