        Olly has been really good while our friend was here, they played in the pen together, it was lovely to see, at night our friend would say goodnight to Olly and Olly would kiss him, just like Olly does to me, on Saturday our friend had a silent Migraine, Olly took a running jump over onto his cage and over his playpen and went to our friend and licked his face, I told Olly he was a good boy for telling me, when our friend felt better we went out late night shopping and he bought Olly some Strawberries, when we got back he gave Olly a strawberry and they started playing again and everything was great, today I was really ill with my tonsils and I had to take our friend back into town so he could catch the bus, I was upset that he had to leave and tried not to show that I was upset, he kissed Olly and said. “Bye bye Olly I have to go, I’ll see you again soon.” And gave Olly another small strawberry, he got his things and we left, I was 20 minutes on the bus trying not to cry in front of him, when we reached the bus stop for his bus home we were there about 15 minutes, the bus arrived and the the man from the bus company was asking people for tickets and I nearly cried, our friend showed his ticket and put his luggage on the bus, I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned halfway round, so I turned him round to give him a big hug and a big kiss goodbye, I started walking up the hill and I turned round, he was the last one on the bus, he was waving to me, then he got on, the bus passed me and went round the corner and I just burst into tears, I got my phone out of my pocket and sent a text to him to say safe trip home and to call me when he got back, I got home and told Olly our friend would be back another day, Olly started looking into the corridor, he did this for 30 minutes and laid down and started making a noise, I let him out of his Playpen to check him over, he just kept jumping on the sofa and on the bed where our friend had been and Olly was making the noise and he went to where our friend’s bags were and he made the noise again, Olly has had an emergency vet check, they said Olly is missing our friend, when our friend called me I put the phone on speaker and I told him about Olly, he said. “Olly what’s up boy?” Olly’s ears went up and he got excited running round his playpen, after the call Olly laid on his side and made the noise again until he fell asleep, has anyone’s bunny ever done this? I wish I could do something to keep him calm.

          Awww little Olly seems like he really misses your friend! Is it possible for your friend to buy a fleece blanket and sleep with it a few times before coming back for another visit? That way your friend can leave you with the blanket and you and Olly can cuddle in it until your friend visits again

            Naaw, Olly! I think Mikey’s advice is very good. Scents are so important to bunnies.

              Skype is good for that – HOW many of us have spoken to animals over Skype in silly ‘saved for animal’ voice? I know you have!! LOL

                I agree with Mikey bam, Vienna blue, I called my friend again today, I put the phone on speaker so he could hear our friend’s voice, he asked how Olly was, Olly put his ears up and I moved the phone near Olly, Olly sniffed the phone and dragged it into his big dog bed and sat listening to our friend asking how he is, but 30 minutes after the call Olly started again with his noise, I sat next to Olly and stroked him and he put his head under my arm, I will mention the blanket idea to our friend, if he says yes, which I’m sure he will, I’ll send one down and some money to send it back, we are both a bit sad our friend had to go back home, I know he will come back again but Olly doesn’t know that, even though I tell him, Olly is eating and drinking normally.

                  Wow. That is one loving bunny! Maybe you could keep a recording of your friend and play it for Olly to make him think that your friend is there?? Kind of a weird idea but lol! Also Mikey’s idea is pretty good, as well as Vienna Blue in France’s Good luck and I hope for both of your guys’ sakes that he comes back soon!!
