Hello from Thimble, bunnies and bunny peops! 💖🐇🐰 I will not be around for much longer, and after so many years at Helicopter Ears, I feel the Bridge is nearing for me, the strongest, hopefulest, and final Helicopter Ears bunny. I've grown smaller, and I'm getting weaker every day. And still I'm standing — with a difficulty but still upright, the last and final Helicopter Ears bunny. It's been a privilege and such a happiness to grow old by your side. Ah, what a ride it's been! We've hopped so many miles at Helicopter Ears! We cried so many sad and happy tears, across so many years! It's time to say goodbye. I'm fading, and I feel that my hooms can see and understand I'm ready. I know that they won't keep me waiting at the gate. It's time to go. Let's say our goodbyes and wave our paws as I go to the other side. I send my love. I send my blessings. I send my bunny kisses. And I send so many thanks. Keep your hopes up and ears high! Your Thimble (Thimbie for my friends) 💖💖💖

Relaxing 😌 but still popping down to say hello. Thimble ♥️

Hello from Thimble, bunnies, the last of the Helicopters and going strong! Reporting fresh from my bum wash, I'm pleased to say all is good. I'm doing well and eating even better. I'm so old now I refuse to count the years. And yes, I do need a bit more TLC than in my younger days, falling and rolling a bit more, but in my indoor run, I'm safe, warm, and kept a good eye on. Paw wave to you all! Thimble (Thimbie to my friends) ♥️

Dear friends. We've been contacted by our vets Acorn House Vets in Bedford, who had two male bunnies dumped at their practice today. We're heartbroken to see these bunnies so unwanted they've simply been dumped, but we're not able to take them in. Can anybunny help? Please email [email protected] or call 01234 261839. Please share. Let's give these boys some love they've likely never had, hopefully in time for Christmas, because nobunny should be unloved at Christmas time. Kim @ Helicopter Ears ♥️

Hello, friends. Thimble here. Excuse the mess that I am -- it is the moulting season. It is also the apricot season, and, as you can see, I have been indulging in a half or two. They're one of my favourite fruits, the apricots, helping me maintain the gorgeous colour that I am (I like to think so, anyway) and my sunny disposition. Thank you for your donations this month. We've lost many friends this year, and August seems to have brought a bit of calm and quiet to Helicopter Ears. I hold all my paws crossed the calm continues. I like the calm. Thanks again. Much love and good to you. Thimble (Thimbie to my friends) ❤️

Hello from Marmie, taking a small break from eating to update my friends. Our hooms have been on a break from work -- "holiday" they call it. Not much of a break if you ask me, as a few local garden centres and their parents is all they've been to, but still, we rabbits, in the absence of the usual controls, have taken some liberties -- such as having strawberries for breakfast, and sometimes lunch, too (but only one or two, mind you -- nothing extravagant). On the flip side, there's been no-one to do our our postings, but still it's an arrangement that's worked well enough for both parties, and will work even better if I can get to all the plants they have been buying. (Yes, I've been able to jump great heights, which is probably the reason why I have a covered run.) There are two more weeks of "holiday" they have coming at the start of July, so I can only stock up on veg, brace myself to sit it out, and apologise for the lack of postings. I hop you're not too put out by our absence. I suspect not, as you likely also have holidays and other, hopefully lovely, sunny days to attend to. Love you lots and wish you all lots of yummy foods and sunny moods. Marmie ♥️
