Article: You want to avoid the cage moving around. Place the side of the cage toward the front of the car, so that the bunny won’t hit his face if the car needs to brake suddenly.   Never place a bunny carrier in the closed-in trunk of a car. It’s too dark and scary, and he could run out of air! Bunnies can ride in a covered truck bed or trailer if they are well ventilated. However, avoid this if it’s hot outside because rabbits are sensitive to heat. The rabbit carrier will need to be strapped in tightly. Run the AC if it’s hot or even warm outside. Rabbits are more sensitive to heat than we are. Park in shaded areas when you stop and leave the windows down if it’s cool enough outside; or if it’s hot, leave the car on and the air conditioning running. You can bring two keys with you to be able to lock the doors while you’re out of the car.  If possible, travel during cooler parts of the day, like early in the morning or after the sun has gone down in the evening. It’s not likely it will ever be too cold for a bunny in the car, unless the temperatures are below freezing outside. If it’s safe enough for you to travel, it’s safe for the bunny to stay in an unheated car. If you’re staying in a hotel, check ahead of time to be sure that they allow rabbits in the room. If the hotel doesn’t allow it, then be sure you wait to stop until after the sun has gone down and the temperatures have dropped. Lock the car doors and leave the windows down enough to provide ventilation overnight. Park in the shade so that the early morning sun doesn’t stress or overheat your bunny. Be sure that there is a continuous supply of water in the water bottle. When you stop, offer treats like apples or carrots. You can leave these in the carrier during travel; he may not eat them, but it’s nice to have them in there. Just remove them if they start to go bad. Offer a vitamin supplement such as Vita-Stress to help with the strain of transporting your bunny. If your bunny overheats, you’ll need to immediately get him to a cooler place and be sure he’s out of the sun. Dampen his ears with cool (not cold) water to help get his temperature back down to normal. Another trick to preventing overheating in a rabbit, if he cannot be kept in air conditioning, is to keep secured soda bottles full of frozen water in the cage. Signs of overheating in a rabbit are:  Fast, shallow breathing Hot ears Listlessness Wetness around the nose area Tossing head back while breathing rapidly from an open mouth It’s possible to travel by air with a rabbit. If you absolutely need to take your rabbit on a plane, because you are moving, find out ahead of time what his experience will be like during the trip.  Find an airline that allows pets. A few popular ones are Delta, Continental, Frontier, United, and WestJet. Each airline has different prices and regulations regarding pets, however, so do your research.  Get an airline approved carrier. You’ll have to conform to the guidelines of the airline regarding the type of carrier you can transport your rabbit in. Again, this will depend on the airline. Check the dates. Many airlines only allow pet travel during certain months of the year, when the weather makes it safe enough for the animals to travel. Use a cart for walking around the airport with the carrier. Rabbit carriers can get pretty heavy with a rabbit inside, so at the airport be sure to use a wheeled cart and secure the cage onto it to wheel it around.

Strap the carrier into the car with a seat belt or place it securely on the floor behind a seat. Keep the car cool at all times. Bring the bunny inside with you overnight if it’s warm outside. Check on your rabbit during travel. Look for signs of overheating. Learn airline regulations ahead of time if you are traveling by air with your rabbit.
Article: Spread a piece of contact paper over a flat surface, placing the adhesive side down. Sketch the design using a dark pen or pencil. You can use the contact paper to create an adhesive stencil, but keep your design simple. Designs with lots of small details often do not transfer well.  You can use lettering in your design. Instead of drawing a design, you can trace a pre-printed image onto the contact paper. Visit an art supply store to find contact paper as well as adhesive stencils you can use if you would don’t want to create your own design. Use a sharp knife to cut through the paper, working along the lines you traced earlier. Any parts you remove will get colored in later. This is because the plastic will be exposed in these areas, so the paint will reach it. Leave the contact paper intact over any spots you do not want painted.  To prepare your design, cut along the outermost outline to separate it from the paper. Then, sparingly cut out any larger details that can give your design definition. Avoid cutting the entire design out of the paper. Leave it attached at 1 end, since this makes painting a lot easier later. For example, if you want a cat on your cup, you should cut around the outside border. Then, cut around the outline for the nose, mouth, and whiskers so these are painted later. Peel the backing off the contact paper to expose the clear adhesive. Wrap it around the cup, trying to get your design as flat as possible against the plastic. The excess paper around your design is useful for shielding the rest of the cup from paint. You may need to trim the paper and stretch it a little to get it to fit on the cup. Check over your design to find spots where the plastic is exposed. The sticker can crack when stretched, or you may have trimmed it too much. To fix this, layer over these spots with painter's tape or masking tape. You can find decent tape at any general store or art supply store. You don’t need specialized tape to complete your project. Take your cup outside so you can paint in a well-ventilated environment. Place the cup on a stable surface, such as a patch of grass, with the design facing up. Start at 1 end of the sticker, then slowly move the nozzle back and forth to coat it with an even layer of paint.  Visit a general or home improvement store to find spray paints labeled as multipurpose or for use on plastics. You usually do not need to apply primer first or a clear coat later. However, you can do this to make sure the paint sticks to the plastic. The paint actually dries to the touch after about 30 minutes. There is no need to rush perfection, though. Leave the cup out in open air for as long as possible. After 24 hours, it will be fully dry, leaving you with no worries about smearing the design. You should be able to peel the adhesive off by hand. Work along the seams, starting on the side opposite of the spray paint if possible. Gradually peel back the sticker to reveal your amazing new cup. If you have trouble removing the sticker, try dipping your fingers in water and rubbing the edges of the paper.

Use a pen to outline a design on contact paper. Cut the design with an X-Acto knife. Attach the contact paper to the cup. Cover any parts you don’t want to paint with tape. Spray the design with plastic-friendly spray paint. Let the paint dry for up to 24 hours. Peel the contact paper off the cup.
Article: Mix the muffin batter and spoon or pour it into the muffin tins. Then, remove the cream cheese from the fridge and dice it into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) piece while it's still cold. Add a spoonful of diced cream cheese on top of each muffin cup and bake the muffins according the the recipe instructions. The cream cheese will sink into the batter while the muffins are baking. If you’re making muffins from scratch, cut the granulated white sugar from the recipe and use the same amount of brown sugar instead. Brown sugar is a little sweeter and imparts a rich, maple-like flavor to the muffins. You can also sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top of the muffins before popping them in the oven to add a little crunchy sweetness.

Upgrade any muffin recipe with cream cheese for a rich, decadent twist. Use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a sweeter, richer flavor.
