Well, I have lots of older buns
There is Mr Jingles - he is a 14 year old Netherland Dwarf - he has gone blind in one eye due to glaucoma but other than that he is as fit as a flea - and as active as one as well :? He is continually under your feet and is a joy to watch as he pings up the garden
I love that boy with every inch of me
We have Billy who is 10 1/2 and is absolutely wonderful
He is a fawny coloured one eared lop :roll: He is another one that is very fit and healthy and has not caused us any problems at all - except for when he first came to us at the age of 8 and humped everything in sight :shock: He got the snip and has been great ever since. He is bonded with Bobby who is 8 years old - they both came to us un-neutered :shock: Bobby is blind through a bad infection that if treated right away would not have got this far
He is a lovely boy and as gentle as a lamb
They are both bonded with a young bit of fluff called Wiggles :lol: She is a 2 year old front toofless Neddie and regards them as her lads :lol: :lol:
We have Sparkles who is 6 1/2 and is a NZW - she was rescued from a lab :x She is beautiful and is very happy and healthy - she is bonded with a toy boy Nici who is 5 1/2 and is a gorgeous white lop who is blind in one eye due to an abscess - this was before we got him.
Sexy is 6, he is a Himalayan and is as sexy as his name :roll: Another healthy boy but on the nervous side with people. He is bonded with Jiffy who is coming up to 5.
Dutchess and Duke are both over 5 - they are Frenchies - they are so wonderful
Dutchess had to have one of her back legs amputated a few months ago and is doing really well - I have wonderful pictures of her laying upside down grinning :lol: Duke is terminally ill with abscesses in his nasal passages and has gone blind in one eye - other than having daily painkiller he is fine in himself and has been fighting this since January of this year. Duke loves to eat and be snuggled by his old Dutch :roll:
Rhia is a 6 year old German Lop - she too is terminally ill with abscesses in her lungs and nose - she was virtually blind when we got her but has recently undergone surgery to remove her third eyelids and it has made an amazing difference to her
Barley Bun is a 7 year old Neddie and has no front teeth - he was badly treated by his former owners and after operations and good care from Bunny Camp he came to us on Easter Sunday - he is our original Easter Bun :roll: :lol: :lol:
Maple is a 6 year old Chincilla lop who is bonded with Mr Jingles - they are stuck like glue those two :roll: Maple has been very poorly with abscesses in her nasal passages and has a huge swelling on her nose at the moment - we are waiting for it to start looking red and angry and then the vet is going to lance it and get the puss all out :shock: Maple is Mum's princess
We have had so many who have come to us and have now gone to the Rainbow Bridge
Our beautiful Pebz was 6 1/2 (and took my heart with him), Fern was 7, Little Jack was about 9, Chops was 13, Henry was 7, Violet was 9 1/2, Smudge was 8, Emma was 8 1/2, Douglas, Boots and Alfie where all nearly 9, Peter was 10 - these are all so sadly missed
It hurts like hell when we lose one - and we always, always miss them - but the whole point of running a Retirement Home is to take in the elderly and disabled - they deserve a life just as much as anyone else. And to be honest - they enrich our lives so very much so we are, infact, the lucky ones :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
We have to admit that we love our O.A.B's
