We were welcomed to the Land of Enchantment by Officer Sanchez who gave us a ticket for driving 90 mph in a 75 mph zone. Later that night, we arrived at our next destination, Albuquerque, NM. Our hosts were Margo & Tom, who have a rabbit sanctuary associated with The House Rabbit Society. We were delighted to share our room with several rescued bunnies. Ginger, my cat who has a fetish for bunny pee, was overjoyed! She parked herself in the dustpan for the best smelling seat in the house. Other rescued buns roamed freely through the beautiful house. A warren of feral buns scampered through the courtyard to their indoor quarters. Junior, who toppled over occasionally due to a neurological issue, & I really hit it off! Igor only had three legs, but didn't seem to mind since he also had three girlfriends :) Miss Audrey, who was paralyzed in an accident, got around well wearing a sock on her back legs.

After eating the best Minestrone soup, chatting with Margo & Tom, and chillin' with the buns, we went to sleep surrounded by purring cats (with the exception of Buddha who growled until her Xanax kicked in). We awoke to a delicious vegan breakfast overlooking the rabbit courtyard where the buns dined on a bushel of Timothy Hay. Even the cats enjoyed watching the courtyard buns munching away! A grand time had by all, thanks to the generous hospitality of Margo & Tom :)
By now, the cats know the drill. When we arrive, they explore their new surroundings, eat voraciously, use the kitty litter, rest, and repeat in reverse the next morning. So we packed up the cats and the car and set out on the last leg of our journey to San Diego, CA.
