Update October 1, 2007:
Although Blinkers is no longer with us, her mate Southpaw still wants
to let everyone know how he is doing. We have tried to find him a new
mate, but it appears that Blinkers was his one and only hunny
bun. However... Southpaw has a guinea pig friend!!! He
and Miss Pickles seem to enjoy each others company
Update June 15, 2007:
It is with a heavy heart that we report that
Blinkers
passed away early Friday (6/15/07) morning. Blinkers became full blown
symptomatic E. cunniculi/Pasteurella. Her companion
Southpaw stayed by
her side, even in death. Southpaw is doing ok, though clearly misses
his Blinkers. We hope to find him a new mate.
Everyone who sponsored Blinkers helped to let her live a wonderful
life, and we thank you all.
Update May 9, 2007: Blinkers has been at the hospital. We noticed a more pronounced
"crooked" look to the side of her face. No teeth problems and no mouth
polyp, but Blinkers has some facial paralysis, causing a "droop" and
she is unable to fully close her right eye. Similar to Bells Palsy in
humans. Blood work is also being done. She and Southpaw are glad to be back "home"!!
Update December 24, 2005: Blinkers has a sponsor!!
Binkies and nosebonks to
Kim!!
Hi, I'm
Blinkers (I'm the dutch bunny on the right) and this is
my best buddy,
Southpaw.
We've been waiting for a loving forever home for a very long time, and
sometimes we get sad that no one has adopted us yet. We're very
devoted and loving to each other, and we'd be as devoted to a nice
loving family.
Southpaw is shy, but he's a really sweet and gentle soul, and
he's a little bit goofy too. Okay, maybe more than just a little
goofy, but I love him just the same. He prefers that humans just
enjoy his company from a distance, and admire him for who he is. He's
a really good friend to me. I have more attitude and can be a bit
spunky at times, but once I get to know you, I adore body massages
from humans.
Both of us have good litterbox habits, and we love making humans laugh
by doing binkies. It's so easy to make humans laugh. They're funny,
and they make us laugh too. We want so very much to have a family of
our very own, and a nice forever home where we can love and be loved.
Would you be our special humans?
Special thanks to the following people for helping sponsor Blinker's
medical needs:
- Kim
- the loving memory of Lucky, Bailey and Cinnamon
- Paige O. (love Aunt Sarah)
Thanks for reading!!
