Good Bye Jelly Bean and Mr. Magoo...

Ali - a Blog contributor, went home yesterday to find her bunny Jelly-Bean, bonded to Flemish Dixie, had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. So sorry to hear Ali. Mr. Magoo's owners also called to let us know he had passed away. Snow White, Magoo's bond-mate, is visiting the Hollow this week, so we got to say Hi. She is the sister to my rabbit Cinderella and Ali's bunny Flash. They all turned 4 years old yesterday. Their parents, Steve and Shayla, are still, after 4 years, looking for a home.

Linda is very sick, and having Asthma on top of it has been really hard. I cleaned today and Tuesday at the Hollow, kids in tow! Due to the weather and illness there has been quite a few volunteer cancellations that couldn't be at a worse time for Linda health wise. She will keep on chugging though, she always pulls through. The Christmas Eve volunteer party was very nice, according to Linda! I never made it down this year, I had family up from Georgia. I don't know what else to report right now other than a few sick rabbits, such as Licorice who is bonded to Winter and a few others that have been adopted out. Plenty of Bunnies for adoption - visit us on the web at www.hopalonghollow.org! Happy Holidays! Brandee

Good Bye Cadbury...

Well, we lost Cadbury, a beautiful NZW that had been staying at the Hollow for some time now. He came in from the Catskill Game farm a few years back. We have so much going on down at the Hollow right now, I will have to interview Linda to get a good update. We have a beautiful calendar on sale for the Holidays that was made by one of our volunteers who is no longer able to help with our group, nice guy, will be missed terribly! We have our Christmas letter that has gone out as a fundraiser. Linda is hosting a party for the volunteers this year, which is usually a party for all to attend, but it's been a very long year all around so we are keeping it short and sweet. Linda's daughter is expecting her second child, and my second just turned two months yesterday. Linda has been up to her ears in sick or injured rabbits and trying to help others with theirs. Feather had her eye removed, there is a new head-tilt bunny, a whole new slew of medicine rabbits... Well, just wanted to say hello and wish everyone a happy holiday season and to say Good bye to Cadbury. Such a feisty little guy! We will be getting settled and hopefully get going on our Easter fundraisers shortly after the beginning of the year. Anyone that is able to volunteer that lives in the area, we would love to have a comedic person to wear the bunny suit for photos this year! Have a very Merry Christmas! Brandee
