Holly

Today's blog entry is brought to you with a heavy heart. One of our lovely bunnies died unexpectedly this morning at the vets after a short illness. I have to admit to being distraught. Our bunnies were rehomed from a rabbit rescue centre about 2 and a half years ago. The thinking behind this was obviously to give them a nice new home but also that they would be therapy for Jess (at that stage she was bed-bound). They have been very good therapy for her and have obviously become a very important part of our family. Anyway, Holly is no longer with us :-( We'll miss her feisty but funny ways!
Holly leaves behind her rather bewildered husbun Benji. We've been giving him treats all day and spending lots of time with him to help him adjust to life without his playmate. At this rate he'll be obese! So as not to end this post on a morbid note I'll leave you pictures of the fab Greist accessories that came with Lady. If you can't make it out it says 'Attachments'.
Here they all are, slightly rusty but intact.
And these other goodies from another drawer in Lady's cabinet.
I'm hoping to be clear of tears long enough to do some sewing tomorrow. Catch you soon.

  3. awww big hug :-( I had a bunny once. Unfortunately my dog tried to eat it... fortunately I was in my twenties when I found out the true identity of little fluffys vampire attacker!
    Huge bonus getting the accessories with the machine, imagine if you could get her up and running :-)

  5. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Holly - she was clearly a huge part of the family...you've given her a wonderful two and a half years of life full of love, care and attention and I hope that, in time, you can remember her fondly and with smiles rather than sadness. Take care xx

    PS. Those accessories look like instruments of torture, no nonsense sewing!

  9. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and that of Benji. I have rescue rabbits myself so I hope it is of some comfort to you to know that you changed Holly's life for the better and gave her the happy, loved life all bunnies deserve. My thoughts are with you. xx
