Holly passes away, Martin's dead leg, Bob

We have some terrible news. Holly went in for her spay today and died during surgery. We have had 2 major hits this week with Holly's passing and the passing of Ivan, and they have dumb-struck us. Holly had severe scarring on her lungs. I am sorry to Linda & Chelsea for the loss. She was a cranky little cutie that was to be bonded to their lop after she was spayed. We took in 11 baby hamsters yesterday that were in less-than desirable condition and they will be picked up by Claudie this week and possibly transported to Jessica at the New York Hamster House. They look like European Black Bears and Syrians and they are all so sweet, I know, I handled them!

Yesterday morning Bob (an Ivory look-a-like) was dropped off. A woman had taken him in from neighbors and her son had severe allergies. She has been trying to find Bob a home for months, I also got a call for a bunny that will be dropped later this evening that sounds like a NZW (New Zealand White).

Our news of the day is that yesterday a bunny named Martin came in. He was found last Thursday in Stratford, same area several other bunnies have been found. He has a dead back left leg that will more than likely be amputated today. Please say a special prayer for Martin, we know no back ground on him. It pains me to see how people leave there animals to suffer and then just toss them out at their own convenience. I will add pictures as I get to it. His leg is black and looks like petrified wood and just gets in the way. The surgery is going to cost the Hollow over $500. Any donations are much appreciated!
