Thank you god , for this precious boy . Fritz has been such a source of smiles over the last week . His crooked little legs and smoochy little face make me melt . And can we talk about his killer yoga poses?! I think he’s demonstrating the fourth one on the chart behind him. Fritz (like all animals ) deserves the world, which Willys Wabbits 2.0 and I are blessed to provide him with . 🌎 🫴🏻 🐰

I’ve had a terrible couple of weeks in the rescue world and I am raging. A few of you need to hear this loud and clear , I no longer care who I offend .

YOU , yes you, ARE THE PROBLEM IF:

1. You have a baby and decide to rehome your pet . Seriously, give me a break and learn to multitask like a competent human being .
2. You pretend you have allergies as a convenient excuse to get rid of your pet. None of us believe you. (There are some rare exceptions ).
3. You buy a pet from a pet store or a breeder. You learn about RESCUE, you know the shelters are in code red , but are still dumb enough to repeat the mistake and purchase another . Breeders are trash . Learn that .
4. You decide to ditch your companion when unexpected vet bills arise. Or worse - let them suffer with no way to tell you how much it hurts .
5. Your children obviously lose interest in a pet that you erroneously purchased for them. So, in a rabbits case - it gets exiled to disgusting hutch in the backyard. Dogs case - chained outside to suffer in extreme weather .
6. You got a new job and decide that you do not have enough time for your pet . So pet is sent to a terrifying shelter where s/he will sit for months all alone wondering what they did to deserve this punishment . Unless a decent human rescues them soon, they WILL end up on the euthanasia list .
7. The ultimate SHAME - if you even CONSIDER releasing your DOMESTIC pet outside . This is murder , they WILL die . I cannot imagine a more ignorant and selfish way to rid youself of a commitment YOU made to a living , feeling, innocent being ..

Out of your sight , out of your mind right ? WRONG. Your problem becomes our massive heart ache and financial responsibility. I sleep on the floor of my sanctuary holding YOUR neglected pet as they take their last breaths . I’m done cleaning up your messes politely . Knowingly screw over an animal , any animal , and I will call you out publicly for your wrong doings . Need advice ? Support ? Questions ? Funding ? I can HELP you do better before you make any huge mistakes - just ask. They may not have a voice - but I SURE do .

(Photos of some of my saddest buns who were failed by humans prior to their arrival. I’ll save all the dog photos for my next mental breakdown )

Love and tears ,

This beautiful necklace - a tribute to our beloved Eeyore - arrived in the mail yesterday . There is no note indicating who it is from , but to whoever sent it : please know that I am eternally grateful . I can wear my sweet old man next to my heart anytime now . He will never be forgotten . In his honor , I will stand up tall and carry on .

Fritz , our handicapped rescue from Popcorn Park Zoo . He has NO idea that his front legs don’t function properly . He has NO idea he is different than any other bun . I clean his little bottom and face every morning , since he can’t balance to reach his cecotropes, it makes quite a mess . I make sure his room is well padded and full of traction so he can move around comfortabley. He gets 4 special joint supplements 2x a day . He assumes I do this for all of the bunnies here . Ignorance is bliss for our little Fritz.

Fritz has figured out how to do many of the things that rabbits with 4 working legs can do (in a very clumsy Fritz fashion ) . His “disability” is actually his greatest “ability” as it makes him uniquely, “Fritz”! Quite possibly the world’s most quirky and lovable boy .

Earlier this year, he was tossed outside, with his malformed little legs , to certainly perish. This is completely unfathomable to me, I consider him one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. Thank you Willys Wabbits 2.0 and Popcorn Park zoo for giving him a chance at sanctaury life here at Bun- Voyage : Rabbit Sanctuary , Resort & Salon.

The only thing worse than a breeder, is a pet store that buys from breeders…. Sign and share :

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

It’s very hard to mourn death ,when there is so much beautiful life surrounding you . Eeyore’s story is complete, but I am sure another lost soul needs his or her final chapters to be filled with love and safety. I’ll be on the lookout soon. I owe it to my boys : Shamrock , Fritz and Buster for being the only reasons I smiled today . I mean , how can you NOT chuckle at this new photo set ….✏️✂️📓

I miss you so much buddy …. 😥 💔

🌈 🪽 Eeyore’s wings were ready, but our hearts were not . He crossed the rainbow bridge at 10am. He left this world in no pain, while I kissed and rubbed his head . He was tooth purring until the end . My heart is absolutely shattered . I knew he would send me a sign when he was ready. Along with his massive turn for the worse , this rainbow appeared over my house last night as if to say “If you love him, let him go….” .
2 years was not enough time to undo the many years of severe neglect this poor old man faced . Willys Wabbits 2.0 and I did our absolute best by him , and we have no regrets. We are incredibly touched by the outpouring of support during Eeyore’s raffle . The funding has covered his end-of life vet bill. I asked the vet if I could take his body home , so that I can bury him next to his best friend Pop, who passed away last winter . This way I can visit him every day , and remind him how much his life mattered . I’m sure he is kissing Pop’s crooked little head as I type this .

As Eeyore’s buddy Winnie the Pooh once said …"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."- Winnie The Pooh

In Eeyore’s honor, please PLEASE offer your local shelter a space in your home (foster or forever ). There are other Eeyores out there , also suffering , just waiting for their chance…. be their lifeline …no more excuses ….

Eeyore update : Although I wish it was better news , it’s not terrible . He is stable , the abscess may have shrunk a little bit, but due to all the meds our little old man has lost interest in his food . I’ve been syringe feeding him 2-3x a day. Between his feedings he lightly nibbles at his favorite greens . So he is getting his nutrients , but the struggle is real .

His second fav human - Tammie Wilson, came by for a visit today and they spent some time together . Willys Wabbits 2.0 rescued Eeyore 2+ years ago before he came to the sanctaury. He was so defeated from years of isolation in the darkest of basements . Watching him transform into a happy cuddle bunny has been one of the best experiences in my lengthy rescue path. Tammie agrees that Eeyore he is in no pain . Infact he was playing with some toys today, and had a bit more energy than yesterday . Thus , our plan is to continue supportive care & his prescription regimen and hope for the best . If at any point he decides he wants to give up the fight , I know he will find a way to tell me that “it’s time “ . I won’t push his old body into extreme measures . I want him to cross the bridge filled with happy memories and his dignity.

Taking in the broken souls , the old , handicapped discarded and abused … it’s not for the faint of heart . I have cried enough tears for these animals to fill an entire ocean . But when I look into Eeyores old blue eyes , I know I’ll never quit . Stay strong Eeyore , we ALL love you so much .

The Quad Squad has arrived !! These 4 bouncy buns (mom, aunt, 2 children ) are always a blast to host. I’ll make sure to post a playtime video .

I’m realizing it’s been quite a while since I added to my my miracle orphan’s photo album . Mercy was found when she was just a newborn - tossed to die outside on one of the hottest days of the summer 2022 - no mother in sight . I was tasked with becoming her surrogate mother. I poured my whole heart into her survival. 2+ years later , even though she is a sassy brat , I love her endlessly . If you need a smile , check out her baby pics in this album .

These 2 cuties - Marley and Muffin - never fail to brighten my day. Can’t wait for our weekend together !

Clearly , Harley isn’t quite certain about the new Carrot Cave . 🤨🫠. Sister , Quinn , figured it out much quicker and is enjoying her new perch 😌.

Only a handful of summer grooming apoibtments left . These beach bunnies hopper by just in time .

08/08/2024

THE WINNER (JAX) of Eeyore’s raffle , asked us to “please pass a gift onto a bunny in need “ in place of accepting his winnings . How can we say no to a face like that ?! So- we asked our dear friend at Willys Wabbits 2.0 who her MOST overlooked adoptable rabbits were 😞. The bun’s that could really use a smile were chosen : Darla, Ivy and the the bunny Trio . I hope they enjoy their gift bags - From , Jax, Eeyore and your friends at Bun- Voyage : Rabbit Sanctuary , Resort & Salon
