Back to Normal
I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted to this blog. And what a month it's been! Hurricane Ike visited Columbus and left us in the dark. I also spent eight days traveling around Pennsylvania as part of my family's annual vacation.
This month has reminded me how much I enjoy the routines of my normal existence. I am also reminded of the extent to which these routines revolve around the rabbits in my life. Kramer greets me each morning and each evening when I come home from work, anticipating his pellets and greens. But he is a generous fellow so when his friend Molly is slow to make her way over, he dashes over to her and circles around her until both are ready to eat. What an amazing little fellow he is!
Another routine is familiar to those who live with senior citizen bunnies or those with chronic conditions. This routine involves regular visits to the vet. Today's visit to Norton Road involved dental surgery for 11-year-old Shelby. As I write this, Shelby is still drowsy from the anesthesia but she is starting to move about. Hopefully, time and Metacam will quickly return her to normal.
We're all worried about the tumultuous financial condition of our country. But my visits to Gettysburg and Shanksville reminded me that our beloved country has been through tough times in the past. I can't think of a better time to cherish the routines that bring meaning to our lives. So put aside your concerns for a while and enjoy your four-footed companions. They, better than we, understand what really matters in life.
