Good news comes with bad news....

Well, I have some good news and some sad news. I'll start with the sad news so we can end on a happy note.

Cloudy (also known as Lance Armstrong), the little lop that came in to us several months ago with testicular cancer, passed away last night at South Wilton Vet Hospital. His foster mom came home and found him practically comatose on the floor, barely breathing and temperature way down. She rushed him to the hospital where they put him in an oxygen tent and tried desperately to save him but it was just his time. He went from a very bad life, to very a good life where he was loved very much by a lot of people. Say a prayer for his foster mom, as she is very sad to have lost him after only a short time.

So now that we are all crying hysterically and hugging our fur babies so tightly their little eyes are bugging out of their skulls, I'll provide the good news:

1) Thumper got adopted last Saturday! A very nice woman who moved here from Japan a few years ago, and her husband, came to the shelter with a list of several bunnies they were interested in meeting. But it was little Thumper that stole her heart! He was such a good boy, I hope he stays that way in his new home! So of the 10 babies that came in with Mama Jessica, there are now only 6 left, plus Mama herself and her new hubby, Sal. Her daughter Peggy has been bonded to Bucky, the bunny with the consistently over-growing teeth. Puffy and Q-Ball are still at my house in foster care, Dusty & Jordan are at the Hollow along with Mama and Sal, and Double-Stuf is at my dad's house in foster care.

2) We got an email update from Hoppy's family the other day! Hoppy is doing wonderfully in his home, and he loves the little boy so much he sleeps in his bed with him! He is great with his litterbox (which is a miracle if you ask anyone who ever cleaned his cage when he was a shelter resident) and he is just living a great life!

Oh yeah, and I definitely forgot to post the pictures of Chelsea's girls playing in the snow a few weeks ago, so here they are now:







TTFN!
