@avmbcbellar, Wouldn't it be great to know what the wild rabbit thought of your "super large" bunny? Bet it was wondering how yours had so obviously had hit the jack pot on munchies!
Ahhh, I yearn for a visit with my little family in Boulder,CO and am also hoping for a trip later in the year. Strangely I am having to accept that what I used to give no thought to about those solitary long drives many yrs ago between CO and TX now, decades later, gives me pause. A nine hr+ drive vs one hr non-stop plane ride is quite a contrast but I'll be reluctant to board a plane for some time. May suggest a family meet half-way between.
Sunday, daughter is driving our 15 yr old to Albuquerque for a Pfizer trial on Monday. Wish hubby was going but a business presentation has put the kabash on that. He will "be parent-in-charge" of 11 yr old and their two wonderful kitty additions. The trial will require several follow-up trips and daughter doesn't yet know when they'll learn if g.s. got the vacc or a placebo.
A salute to all who are making Covid vaccines a reality!

@fiesty76 indeed, would have been an interesting thought. I was surprised to see the wild rabbit in the late afternoon when rabbits are more active while dark. It had a few wild munchies then moved on after coming closer to our Flemish Giant. Nothing bothers our rabbit, not even our small dogs. We can tell when a rabbit gets comfortable. It will be relaxed all sprawled out or its ears down. Rabbits tend to sleep during the afternoon with their eyes open. I can tell when ours are sleeping because their noses stop twitching. They are always on the alert. Their ears go up when they hear potentially threatening sounds.
I also enjoy the countryside in Colorado. A nice place to travel to see lots of dear. During our last visit a red tailed hawk flew into the backyard constantly calling. We decided to take him to a wild bird rescue outside of Denver. Unfortunately he did not survive at the rescue center. We later learned he was a young bird that died of starvation. Apparently he was not a good hunter. What a shame!
It certainly is a long drive to get to Colorado. Like you, we prefer the long drive as opposed to taking an airplane. After a long drive my husband makes a stop overnight at a RV Park. By 6 am the next day we are back on the road again. The trip usually takes 3 days. All the animals stay in the truck cabin. The dogs in front with me and the rabbits have the entire back with plenty of water and a HUGE litter box. The animals are no problem at all. They travel well.
Good idea to have family meet you half way. Cuts down on a lot of driving time. That would not be feasible for us because we visit lots of family members and not all are able to see us at the same time. Some are retired and some work. We also want to see the little ones.
Thank you for all your support in helping your 15 year old partake in the Pfizer trial. I am sure your husband will be just fine with his responsibilities during that time. It may be a good learning experience for him anyways. It is all for a good cause and is greatly appreciated. Safety comes first but I have hope we will be able to travel this summer.
