They do controlled burns in the valley, so that will help the fire from spreading faster. The only reason I would let it affect my visit would be if the actual cabin you rented burned down. Otherwise, the effects of fire are fascinating. It's a normal part of the forest life cycle.

I wonder if bunnies are anything like cats, in that the introduction process between an established and new cat/bunny is a delicate process.

Hope everything gets better with the bunnies...

Oh, it definitely is. We were being very careful, keeping them separated when in Munchkin's territory. But after a couple better-than-expected sessions of putting them together in a neutral location in the house, we stupidly let our guard down just enough back in her territory. Like I said, lesson learned.

I'm sorry you're having bunny trauma. The new bun is awful cute and hopefully feeling better. I remember when I had bunnies, it took me awhile to get them to be friends but I always had them sleep separately. It was safer that way!

I went from CUTE to OH NO! I had some catching up to do. Poor bunny! She sure is cute, though. I hope they adjust to each other. I know it can be tricky - especially with 2 females.

For the past couple of weeks, there's been a wild bunny that hangs out in our neighbor's yard. It's not afraid of people, and will come close and dance around when you're nearby, but will (thankfully) bolt if you approach it. This morning, while walking the dogs, I noticed that it had crossed the street. I tried to scare it back the safer yard, but it didn't want to go. I brought the dogs in and Heather came outside with me to check it out. It seems that it likes the seeds that fall from a tree on the other side of the street, and was happily munching on them as we stood a yard away and watched. I'm concerned for its safety because a) it seems too friendly and b) I've seen a coyotes, bobcats and hawks in our neighborhood very recently, but the little guy seems really resilient.

Just another bunny story.

Hope that Munchkin and the new gal (name?) work out their differences soon. She's a real cutie.

I've ended up with another rescue kitten. This one is a complete sweetheart. She's black and white and has a bit of a goatee. She purrs like there's not tomorrow and really needs someone to love her. She's about 3 months old as far as I can tell. My cat rescue lady may come by today and take her. I hope she gets a good home.

Oh, I know- I live in a heavily forested area and we have fires all the time, controlled and not-so-controlled. (One just recently that burned down a bunch of McMansions, in fact). It just seems when Cali has fires, they are pretty devastating.
