moving imminent
17 Jun 2019 10:27 amWe've started packing and have received the okay from the contractor to move in at any time (any time after we obtain a refrigerator for the house, that is). We will probably start actual moving of stuff on Wednesday or Thursday.
Still having trouble obtaining an appointment to get our bunnies the RHD-2 vaccine. RHD virus is universally fatal to rabbits, highly contagious, and can be spread by indirect contact from objects touched by infected rabbits, so even though there are no documented cases in our region of Finland, there have been enough in the country that the whole country is now considered under, like, an epidemic warning or whatever they call that, so our bunnies can't have any wild plants to eat or play with that have been gathered from ground level outside where they could have come in contact with wild leporids (nobody seems to know if hares can be infected too or not, but in any case there are 'wild' - that is, feral - rabbits all over the country... or at least, there were before RHD. Pargas being full of farms and the like, we'd like to have them vaccinated before moving to be safe, but the area vets aren't scheduling their vaccination days too far in advance because they apparently never know how much vaccine is going to be in the next shipment they get. We're now waiting on responses from 2 vets about that.)
ETA: Got a vaccination appointment for Wednesday!
It's amazing the stuff you discover you really don't need when you're about to move (even if you thought you did a pretty thorough declutter of that category quite recently!).
