A lot of you won’t remember me as I went on hiatus for awhile. But I’m doing well. I was so ashamed to even come back here because I felt like such a terrible bunny owner for what has happened with Sally and Harley. The last time a lot of you heard about me I was preparing my home for a friend who was gonig to be homeless. and Sally and Harley lived in the spare bedroom where the guest was going to stay. So I asked my friend to watch them for me for three weeks until my friend was able to get a ride back to NY. Well someone opened up my friends hutches and Sally and Harley got out. Never found again. I kept grasping for hope. Checking the lost and found adds and even rehoming sites to hopefully see someone trying to rehome them. But nothing so far and it has been since June. I think I have accepted the fact I will probably never see them again. But I haven’t lost hope enough to post them in the rainbow bridge. I just…can’t even think about it right now.
I still have Bam, my singleton who is now a free range house bunny and he is keeping me great company. He follows me everywhere in the house and lays by my feet. We have a baby gate that keeps him from the bedroom and bathroom. When he hears that we are awake he will wait and meet us at the gate every single morning and circles my feet the whole way back into the living room because he knows it’s breakfast time. I love him and was glad he was here to distract me from the pain of losing Sally and Harley. I miss them so much.
Here are a couple pictures of Bam…
what we wake up to every morning
he sleeps in weird places

NBO!!! I am SUPER excited to see you back – YAY!!! Yes, I remember your last post, and was worried/sad that you didn’t come back to BB. I have thought of you often. I even asked LBJ if she had heard from you.
Gosh, I am so incredibly sad that you lost your Harley and Sally – I can’t imagine your grief, I am so sorry. Lets just hope that whoever found them loved them so much they wanted to keep and enjoy them, why they didn’t advertise them as found. Honestly, who could resist them? I couldn’t!
My goodness, look at Bam! Ha ha ha ha! Talk about super sweet! I can see how he brings you so much happiness. He is still adorable! Thank you for all the pic’s – you made my day! I hope is all is well and please, don’t stay away again. I really truly missed you NBO!
I think I’ve finally, sorta, gotten over my grief and feel a bit better to come back. I was just feeling SOOOO guilty! But yes, I will def be visiting a bit more often ![]()
Hi NBO! So glad to see you’re back. I know you felt awful about what happened and you weren’t ready to talk about it. Don’t ever think that we would look down on you or make you feel guilty for what happened. It wasn’t your fault and you thought you were doing what was best at the time. You could have never know that that would happen. So I’m very glad that you’re back and I hope you will stick around. We missed you around here.
And I want to think like Andi does. Perhaps someone found them and thought they were so cute that they couldn’t resist keeping them for themselves.
BTW, Bam is so freaking adorable!
Welcome back! I’m sorry to hear about Harley and Sally. I remember running out of my house to get my rabbit back onto my property. I think I scared a neighbor in the process since I ran out in gym shorts and nothing else. (Don’t visualize, you might lose your eyesight). I got her back shortly thereafter but it was very scary to have her away from the house where I know there are other pets loitering around.
That actually happened to a woman I know. No idea what people get out of it, but apparently opening someone else’s rabbit hutch is a thing. I’m so sorry.
Bam’s pictures are great though. He’s such a little character.
NBO— Somehow I never heard about what happened to Sally and Harley? But I just wanted to let you know that I’m super sorry to hear about that, It’s sometimes even worse to not know what happened.
Diamond— I don’t get why people can be so cruel to other people? *sigh*
Bam is so adorable though! ![]()
I’m so sorry about Harley and Sally. It’s just awful that people can do that.
I’m glad you have Bam though. He is one photogenic bunny! He was beautiful when he was little and he’s even more beautiful now.
hello NBO! Bam is one of the cutest bunnies I know!
I’m sorry about Harkey and Sally, that is a hard thing to get over
JP: Oh my that made me laugh!! I do remember when one of my bridge bunnies got out, she didn’t get far, and we live on a quiet street but I freaked out anyway.
Thanks guys! He keeps me company and on my toes! He has grown into a great little house bunny. He is pretty much perfect
NBO, welcome back, we missed you!
I’m so sorry about Harley and Sally. But I’m glad you have Bam to keep you company. He’s such a sweetheart. ![]()
Just saw this-WELCOME BACK NBO! We missed you-I expect you go my nervous PM’s? Ha ha ha!
I am so sorry with what happened with Sally and Harley. You always did right by them and I hope they are with someone who is caring for them. Sending hugs to you, that is such a difficult thing to have to deal with.
Bam is such a darling.
Oh no, so sorry about Harvey and Sally. As everyone else here, I hope someone found them and fell in love with them. Hugs for you and beautiful Bam.
Sorry to hear about what happened to your other rabbits. I had no idea. Thank goodness you still have Bam. He is such a handsome bunny.
I’m so sorry about the situation with your bunnies.
I’m glad to see you are moving on, though and Welcome back. Bam is a total cutie!
Thanks for the warm welcome you guys!
I just love his cheeks! They look pinchable!
I have always loved your Bam. So sorry to hear about Sally n Harley. People have no business opening hutches like that. They may be in good hands. Someone may have wanted them.
Had a bunny on my porch in a cage for a few hours to get some fresh air. A neighborhood kid took him. I found thi kid n got him back. Maybe thats what happened with yours. But with a young adult who kept them.
Please dont stay away again. I miss you and Bam
This almost made me cry. That is seriously so sad. I am SO sorry :'( You must miss your babies so much..
On the other hand, 1. Bam is absolutely beautiful, and I am obessed with his eyes. 2. It is NOT your fault. If your two buns were anywhere near as gorgeous as Bam, they were probably stolen. But fortunately, there are things you can do.
First, get some photos of your old bunnies and print them out. Give them to any local shelters and vets (especially near your friends house) and explain the situation. Ask if they can keep the pictures where they can see them so they can spot the bunnies if someone brings them in. If that does happen, they will probably be brought in separately, so the vet/shelter should check out who the owner is. Especially if they live near your friend’s house! Also, check Craigslist for the WHOLE state. If the post doesn’t have a photo, but the description sounds familiar, them check it out and have them send you a photo.
You can also take some of their favorite treats and wander near your friends house. Call their names and shake the treats. Try to find places that they would be likely to have gone.
I’m sorry that this happened to you, truly
I wish you a lot of luck.
Again sorry to hear about Harley and Sally and good to hear that everything else is going well. Also Bam is such a character. I love that awkward smushed face of his (3rd pic down)!
Welcome back, NBO! I’m so, so sorry about what happened to Harley and Sally.
Bam is looking wonderfully handsome!
