I emailed everyone I can think of today so we'll see if I get a response. We're just having trouble with the MI-IL part.
Oh and Christine/Jill, have you seen the NIC pens a lot of us use? They are so awesome for foster parents to put a bunny in if there are space issues. I have a million panels on hand and they come in great when you need to stick a bunny somewhere! The pics in that thread are mostly full out condos with a roof, but you can make a cheap pen very easily!

Hey Jill, I should also check to be sure- did you guys say you or someone you know would take the bunnies down to near Benton Harbor if I can find someone to meet you and take them to Chicago?
Just want to be sure.
Just want to be sure.
Ok, sorry, but I'm like really confused by the thread! lol! I'm having difficulty following this thread and am not sure where you still need drivers! I live in Lowell MI, (a little east of G.R.) if you want to bring them here, or meet me in GR I will drive them to wherever they need to go, as far as Chicago. Just let me know when and where!

I am sitting here in Northern Michigan just blubbering over my keyboard right now. I had found Christine's sight a few months ago just after my Mocha pass on. I spent 2 weeks going back and for about getting a new bunny or bunnies and the Pictures of Emma and Chester where bookmarked. Every day I would look at them and wonder if I wanted to give my heart to another bunny. I just wasn't emotionally ready then. Over the Christmas Holidays I knew I was ready and start to look. When I saw that these 2 special bunnies had found a home I was so thrilled. And all your teamwork and efforts to get these precious souls across 3 states is so heartwarming.
We Love Bunnies thank you for opening your home to these two.:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Sunday is fine for me too.
I just want to clarify though that I can only go as far as a northern Chicago suburb, preferably Lake Forest, to pick them up and bring them back to Milwaukee.

Yup I'll edit tomorrow morning but theres actually going to be one more leg of this transport.
I found a girl in Chicago who is going to meet Golfdiva in Michigan City so she doesnt have to drive so far west, and then she will meet you, Cara, in Lake Forest.
Tomorrow I'll get the times all set up and hopefully contact everyone individually to set up meeting places. Im hoping some of you can help with that since you know the areas better than I do.
We just have to confirm that someone with the rescue can get them to Golfdiva Sunday morning and that the new parents can meet Tonyshuman in the evening..
PS. Can everyone involved please PM me their email addresses (best one to reach you at). Its easier that way to communicate these larger transports.
Thanks everyone- looks like this is almost good to go!!! :biggrin2:

Emma and Chester bunnys on their way!!!!
To their new home in Dakota Minnesota!!! Thanks to some AWESOME people
helping CritterCafe Rescue, these 2 bunnys are on their way this Sunday to
their new home TWO STATES AWAY!!! Mammit and LuLu bunnys will then come
here to FIRST OFF get healthy,then be fixed and we will start the
procedure to finding forever-loving-bunny homes for them just like for our
Emma and Chester!
Tears flow writing this as I have come to love these two special bunnys so
very much; they have been a comical and so-very-special pair of bunnys
here, Emma's being a huge FlemishGiant and so big whilst Chester is a
dwarf French Lop ear and half her size ....and he loves her and she him so
very much..(us humans could learn a thing or two from bonded pairs of
bunnys about devotion!)
This is a milestone for the CritterCafe Rescue. We have not reached out
across state(s) to adopt but must start as bunnys have become and sadly
stay the USA's 3rd most frequent animal needing adoption and NO clinics
available to spay and neuter them at a lower cost! The most common "throw
away" pet is also the cherished loves of some peoples lives and they
-those bunny loving people- will move the Heavens and the Earth to help
them-obvious to me with this transport's success!
To all of the people helping to make this possible, I thank you from the
bottom of my heart....though boy, every adoption tears me up, this one
being on the top and one of the hardest....very emotional with so many
people stepping up and reaching out to make this possible! I love all of
these animals and Emma and Chester became exceptional and are so special
to me too....they ALL are, my every breath, and basic fiber of my
being...but my work must continue.
This writing is to inform and say and give thanks, maybe also promote
awareness of this special critter!

animals share the same fate we do? THEY WILL BE WITH US IN EVERLASTING
