Sweet Pea Magellan has been adopted!! Thank you to her adoptive parents!
Meet Sweet Pea Magellan, a sweet little baby bunny who was rescued from a snake tank by a wonderful person named Katie. Sweet Pea Magellan has been at her foster home for a few weeks now and has been having a great time hopping around the house, doing crazy binkies and being a crazy baby bunny! Please contact us if you’re interested in providing a great home for her. She would be ideally suited for a home that can provide a lot of “out of cage” time for her to run around and play. She’s also very fond of being petted and likes to smush down into a bunny log while being pet. She’s a sweet bunny (hence the Sweet Pea part of her name) but she’s also very curious and quite the explorer (hence the Magellan part of her name)!
With great sadness I wanted to let you all know that tonight we lost our little Addie. Addie was a tiny little bun with a very big heart who came from the Easton Barn rescue back in February 2009. She arrived covered with frostbite. It took many months but she healed - though she did lose one of her hind legs. Addie lived in Brandee’s kitchen for the first 3 months and then moved in with Linda for an additional two months. She visited Dr Fahy weekly and had far more than her share of dressing changes, drugs and treatments. She tolerated it all and never once tried to bite anyone no matter how much pain we caused her. Brandee was sure she would never make it through that first horrible night and we expected her to die each day for the first full month. Each morning she was still with us was a miracle. Slowly she healed and one day something very special happened. Addie was adopted! Brandee and I both cried to see her go off on her own with one of our trusted volunteers, Melissa. It was like Addie had come full circle and found herself a wonderful new life. Little Addie spent two very happy months with her new family who adored her. For the first time in her life she knew comfort and happiness. She spent each evening cuddled up and being petted and loved. She was no longer cold or hungry or in pain. She had her dressing changed on the remaining hind leg each week and each time we all rejoiced that she was on her way and so close to final recovery. Yesterday Addie ate and acted completely normal. This morning Addie didn’t seem right. She wouldn’t eat. Anyone who knew Addie knew nothing gave her more joy than food. Something was very, very wrong. Addie was rushed to South Wilton where they attempted to save her but she passed away tonight. No one knows why but stasis was certainly a part of it. Addie was never strong enough for spay surgery and I suspect she may had had ovarian cancer. Purely a guess on my part. She leaves behind all of us who loved her. She was our TV star, a Hollow mascot, an inspiration and our friend. She was a part of our lives and she will be very much missed. Our condolences and our warmest wishes to Addie’s family.
