A tough week: For the last month we have been trying to get our gorgeous Millie back to health, since her back legs had all of a sudden stopped functioning as they should. This meant: trips to the Vet, medications, physio, giving her the best of care and making sure her bedding was extra soft and clean. A lot of changing and cleaning her bedding and of course, cleaning Millie.
We all were very hopeful she could get better, but the medication did not seem to help at all and most of all, Millie was getting very vocal. She was obviously in pain, eventhough the vet gave us pain medication for her.
Bunnies are seldom very vocal about anything: they thump when something alarms them but otherwise they seldom make a sound. I think it is because any sound in the wild they make, may attract preditors so they are quite a silent bunch. Unless, there is something wrong and they “tell” you by making grumpy sounds.
Millie was making grumpy sounds even when we carefully picked her up to clean her and her bed over the weekend. I also think the whole situation was getting on her nerves, because Mililie was quite the independent Lady of the house: Not being able to hop around as usual must have made her feel very annoyed as well.
We saw the vet again and after further thorough examination, she told us that it was a tumour on the spine, which , in time, would only make the situation worse and more painful for our dear Millie. It was a super hard decision. We had to let Millie go on Monday. Heartbreak and sadness mingled with the knowledge it was the best thing to do to….RIP dear sweet Millie: you will be very sorely missed !
After the heartbreaking start of the week, I picked myself up and filled with lots of dyeing of fibres and yarns to get as much stock as possible for the Bendigo show in a month’s time !it is going sooo fast !!!! A lot of new rare sheep breeds and rare fibres have been blended and prepared and now, finally, the dyeing and the packing and labelling can start: a huge job !
Also I have some very extra special fun bunny things, like a bunny tote bag, but as soon as I put it out there, I received so many requests on how this fun stuff could be acquired that I did not want all those people to wait til Bendigo. Especially for those of you who cannot visit me at the flowershed at the Bendigo Show. So I decided I would put the tote bag on sale on tonights' blog ...
It is all happening ! I have also dyed more minion yarns for this week, since I ran out last week and I had so many people asking for more !
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to my dear friend : Wil , who cheered me up to no end by sending me a naughty minion pj saying " Just the right amount of wrong" ..lol !!! Huge hugs to you ! Thank you sooooo much !!
