Seven years ago tomorrow... UD Happy gotcha day Grimlock!

Jenova

Wise Old Thumper
About a week and seven years ago there were severe gales, so bad they ripped the fences off our garden.
Hugs the bunny was free ranging and he quickly took advantage of the situation by escaping. :(

Hugs belonged to my brother in law and was under my care. My brother in law was at school at the time. I searched all over the neighbourhood for him and put up posters. We phoned all the pet shops and the vets and then we phoned the RSPCA. Hugs had been found in the road growling at cars and handed in. We were reunited. :love:

A few days later I received a phone call from a woman who had seen my posters. She thought if I would go to that much effort to find a rabbit I must be a good owner (surely every owner would look for their lost pet? :?). She had to move house and needed to find a home for an eight month old house rabbit, which I still think to this day was a lie. (I think she just realised rabbits were hard work, especially this rabbit.) I had a think about it and then I phoned her up and said I would take him.

The next day (seven years ago tomorrow) she brought round a bad of food, a bag of hay and a box of bunny. And that bunny was called Grimlock. :love:

I cannot believe it's his 7th gotcha day tomorrow! I didn't even think he'd make it to five, and in a couple of months he'll be eight. :shock: He's been severely ill since he was about one year old. I don't have many pictures of him as a healthy bunny, the one above is one of the best quality ones.

With his much missed wifebun, Smoo:

And my most recent picture of my zombie bunny, Grimlock.

I like to remember all the wonderful things about living with the Grims (and all the money he's cost me in vet bills :roll:). But I also like to remember Hugs on this day, because he started it all and is always missed.

And with his wife Cuddles (who they thought was his brother, had some lovely babies and died defending them from a husky. :():

And my Smoo-bear because I miss her.

Awww Hugs and Cuddles sounded like lovely buns. :love: If it wasn't for Hugs you wouldn't have your wonderful Grim.

That woman's loss was definitely your gain :love::love::love::love: Love to hear of happy ending coming from something bad happening
 
I can't believe I've had Grims seven years! I'm celebrating his gotcha day by cleaning his eyes and face for him. :mrgreen:
 
Happy gotcha day Grim. I only saw his playing with the washing vid the other day. Brilliant! He is lovely (Mottle agrees).

How brave of Hugs to protect his babies from a husky ...

I remember you posting about losing Smoo, bless her. RIP Smoo, Hugs and Cuddles. xxx
