Mischief and Tinker's Mum
Wise Old Thumper
Found a video of me bonding my quad; Mischief, Tinkerbell and Jasper with single bun Blossom, these were the good times!

The bonded and were together about a month
until a fight broke out. So when I went on holiday in 2011, I decided they would go living as 2 separate pairs. Sadly when I was on holiday, I got a nightmare phone call. The bunny boarder went to check on the buns and found Jasper fitting in the bed area. It was all so quick and he passed away, nothing she could do.
This left poor Tinkerbell by herself (as she had been paired with Jasper) and I felt the right thing to do was put her back with her brother Mischief as she had never lived on her own before. So then I had single Blossom again. I planned on rescuing her a friend when I got back from a trip to the Lake District where I went 2 weeks after my first holiday.
So off the buns went; Mischief with Tinkerbell and Blossom as a single. Blossom was an old, fragile girl who had gone through hell and back when I 'rescued' her from my mum's cousin and I knew she wouldn't have a long life. However, I didn't expect it to happen... I got a phone call from the boarder, Blossom had passed away. The boarder desperately wanted me to have a PM done on her, even offered to pay, (I can understand as it would seem as though she'd done something what with losing Jasper there the holiday before) but I refused. I felt poor Blossom had gone through enough cuts and bruises, I didn't want any more added to her body. The boarder did nothing wrong, she is amazing and is highly recommended on this forum. Even fosters for a rescue, it was just bad luck on my account.
To this day, I still cannot get over the guilt of putting Mischief back with his sister. It felt like the right thing to do, but this meant Blossom died alone and it's all my fault.
I found that bonding video and it reminded me of how happy I was when they finally bonded, I just hate how it all went down hill.
In February 2012 I added another bun to my pair, Hector, and it's a good job I did. As 2 months later I lost dental bun Mischief to an abscess meaning Tinkerbell would have been alone.
I miss Jasper, Blossom and Mischief so so much. I try to forget about the awful memories of losing them. My current buns Tinkerbell, Hector and newest addition Theo, help me to. But I just have these moments to think and then the bad memories come flooding back. I just miss them, I really really do.
Binky free babies.
