Wise Old Thumper
On what would have been her imaginary birthday, I offer a belated tribute to my gorgeous & funny girl
I found Betsy / Georgina in Camp Nibble's Hard to rehome section back in 2015. She was living in a group of resident dental rabbits but it wasn't working out too well for anybun; greedy girl was hoovering everything up left to tempt her pals :lol: She always did like her food
Betsy's previous owner suffered a fatal drug overdose, hence she was brought by the police to Camp Nibble in the Spring of 2013, complete with her accomodation (a tiny guinea pig cage). Although successfully adopted she was returned to rescue a year later, the stress of which made her ill with EC . By then she was thought to be 3-4 years.
Mousey when I saw your face & read your story I knew I had to have you, keep you safe & loved forever
Being a rabbit rabbit not a people rabbit bonding her to Joey & Boo started straight away. A week later we settled on her new name, Mouse (but she was a mistress of many names, like all the best bunnies are)
She was a brave girl bonding to bossy Boo & she was a funny girl - I remember the glares & stomps if my hand even went near the spray bottle. Joey & Mouse found love instantly. Boo's acceptance had to be earned... it was.
In her first home with us
lounging
gossiping
enjoying free range time
even a little dancing
Lucky for Mousey her arrival in our lives coincided with my new obsession with foraging .
Mouse was the perfect size, when she lost her Camp Nibble holiday weight she was 2.8k with a the loveliest long legs & a crazy big dewlap.
I must apologise to Mousey as in the early days I think I worried too much resulting in many a vet visit. You were a tad bitey with the vets though you got better over the years. always though you'd leap off the consult in to my arms & I could make believe you loved me back. During lockdown i asked the vet to assign a nurse to play mum to Mousey in my absence.
At the vets you once did a poop so large & golden that she could do nothing but marvel at its size, the biggest she'd ever seen. You made me so proud
