Hi everyone,
We hope that you're all well and keeping safe. We're not sure how it is October already but here we are!
October 2021 was a super busy month for Team BB. Our illustrious Chairbun Dave developed dacrocystitis and has some fur loss around his eye. We have had an expert opinion from our trusted vet and he is now on a course of treatment to manage the condition. On a brighter note, our lovely Stanley found his forever home with a lovely couple who are bunny savvy and will provide him with everything (and more!) that he needs. We also rescued and rehomes a beautiful little piggy named Pippy, who had been alone for her entire life. We are happy to report that she is now an integral part of a piggy herd and is loving life! The dreaded GI stasis hit our Flora hard and her main human caregiver was amazing in helping Flora to recover - Her husbun Roger never left her side at any point. True love! We also rescued a beautiful pair of young female buns, who we named Rosa and Hallie, and we will be neutering them in the next couple of weeks.
At the end of this month, we lost one of our elderbuns Nugget, who passed away quietly in his bed. He had been playing a few hours before and it was a very gentle hop to the Rainbow Bridge. He was surrounded by his animal friends and the Binky Buns humans who loved him. Nugget was 12 years old and had spent his first 11 years in a tiny hutch being used as a breeding buck. Our old boy was amazing though and lived every moment of his year with us. He became best friends with Teddy, the Rottweiler, slept in every soft bed he could find, binkied with joy (even with severe arthritis) and had a very sweet habit of carrying his toys round the house in his mouth.
We were blessed to have known Nugget and to have witnessed his year of freedom.
Until we meet again, our gentle boy:
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your back.
Until next month, best wishes,
Team BB
