Jack - Butterfly Fawn Lop / Tom - White Seal-point Lop (August 2003)
Jack was adopted with Tom, in August 2003. Their prospective owners saw Jack's picture on our website and came from the Rhondda that afternoon. They'd just lost their first house-rabbit, so they left the decision for a week. The following weekend they came to pick him up and asked to see the other boarders. Two hours later, they left with Jack and Tom. Both boys, both house-rabbits, they have the run of the house. Early squabbles subsided and now they like to sleep next to each other, under their owners' bed. Myxi joined them in January 2005. In June 2005, Jack dislocated a hip and the vets couldn't reinsert it so they removed the ball joint. A day after the operation, Jack was standing on his hind legs and pulling out the metal staples. He's fully fit and runs and jumps as before. Sadly Jack's new buddy, Myxi, died in August 2006 after a battle with cancer. Jack and Tom have become even closer.
1st September 2007: Sadly, Tom, died on September 1st 2007, after being taken to the emergency vets. He'd been quiet for a few days and went to the vets on the Friday but he deteriorated a few hours later with shudders, trances, and loss of balance. The nurse had just syringe fed him and he was awaiting to come home when he laid down and passed away very quickly and gently. "Our gentle handsome boy"
20th September 2007: Jack, the last of the three amigos has coped with losing his buddy, Tom, but then had to endure 2.5 hours surgery to remove an ear abscess. He's currently learning to cope with a new ear opening.
