Every time I hold Poppy, our new bun my heart breaks. I've just carried her to bed and am almost in tears. She is a rescue bun, she was a neglect case. They think the owners (I think they may have be prosecuted) may have picked her up by her ears, I'm sure the did the scruff of her neck as she flinches in that area when brushing or stroking her. As a 3kg bun it had to hurt either way! When I carry her she is so petrified, she pants, her lips get wet, she is so so fearful.
Thing is, she is beautiful. So pretty. And despite her fear, does she bite back? No. Poor thing cowers away. I told her I love her and will never ever hurt her. I just wish she understood.
Now I'm welling up.
I just don't get it, how could anybody hurt her? How could the neglect her? I'm trying to spend time in the run with them but mr snowdrop is a bit of a pain. She hides away and he comes to me, then goes to her, then comes to me. Then he gets humpy, she is too scared to move but wants to so I get out then. Same happens when OH gets in.
