Tenzing fostered out

We took Tenzing up to the mother and father -in law's today.  Tenzing, of course, is our small mainly white himalayan rabbit.  We have only taken him out in the car once before, and that was only to the vet's in the same suburb.  He travels quite well, as he's quite an intelligent rabbit (as rabbits go, of course).

Tenzing is to be baby-sat for the next two weeks as guess what?  We're off on holidays to New Zealand, leaving tomorrow!  Sharon drove up and back, while I nursed Tenzing in the front seat.

Today he went very well while we were on the smooth roads.  He's a bit "clingy" generally, and likes to hug you high up on the chest.  Unfortunately it's an effort to hold him there for a great length of time, and eventually I managed to get him to sit in my lap.  One thing's for sure, he hates roundabouts.  Fair enough, too.  The drive is about an hour and a half, and he'd done very well up the freeway and the main roads, but as you get through Seaham and on to Clarence Town Road the surface quality deteriorates noticeably, and the poor thing was NOT impressed.

When we got up to the folks' place I stayed in the car with him for at least ten minutes, and he was still shaking.  I took him inside, and sat down on the lounge and eventually he stopped shaking.  Poor soul.  Perhaps we worry too much about him.  Not much we can do I suppose now until we get back.

Our thoughts are with you, Tenzing.
