I thought I would start a blog (on Pipp's recommendation) for our new little boy, Fiver, since he's a rescue, and we want to keep track of his progress.
We travelled about ten hours total today (despite having a transport meet us halfway) to go get him and bring him home.
He looks great...ate his hay and drank water all the way home. He's been really wonderful. Looked a bit annoyed a couple times while we were in the car...tugged on the clip-on dish I was using to give him water to try to open the door a couple times. But otherwise, laid down, acknowledge me a few times, just hung out and patiently waited for home.
He's now in his new cage...going around...digging in his litter and peeing (and it smells rather poot-ish, I might say). He's enjoying having additional levels to jump on...and the kitties are hanging around, checking him out.
So...we're home, and he's happy! And so are we!
I'll update you guys more tomorrow, and post the pictures from the trip!
Hugs!!

This is an appeal from The Rabbit Haven in Scotts Valley CA to save an abused bunny who is scheduled to be killed today.
Twinkle came into the shelter covered in grease and debris. He has a slight old eye injury and is a bit wobbly,
most likely from being tired of running, trying to survive, and not having enough to eat.
He is getting stronger every day that he is at the shelter, but now overcrowding is forcing him out!
He is wobbly. No urine straining, normal input-output, no ear or nose discharge.
Can you help him please? The shelter has given me such a short time frame. He came from a neglect case and in my estimation he is
nutritionally depleted. He is a sweet fellow and has that spark of hope in his eyes, hence his name, Twinkle.
Today is his last day on this earth without intervention. Call us at 831 239-7119 if you can help.
I am going to the town where he is today so I could pick him up and bring him to you tonight, or we can arrange something.
Do you have any ideas on who can take him and love him.? Can you take him? We can transport. Twinkle boy needs love, support and good food.
The eye could benefit from TLC, eye drops and a warm pack until it improves. He has been dodging cars, surviving and making the best of
being dumped in the streets for some time. Surely there must be someone who will help him now. He has come so far. His eye issue is a non issue
to me. His outdoor condition and constant needs for survival are beginning to clear but he still has remnants of the edge of disaster in his
demeanor. He need so much love. Occasionally, you will see him take the chance to really look at us. When he does that,
the life spark is right there. I will have him neutered after he improves, but I have no place to put him.
Do you? Please help, we are so over full!
Please let me know if you can help rescue Twinkle. Call Auntie Heather at The Rabbit Haven 831 239-7119 or email [email protected].
