One Year Ago Today - Lily-Hope

I can't believe it's been a year since Our Big Beautiful Girl, Lily Hope went to Rainbow Bridge, not a day goes by when we don't think of her, she stole our hearts and touched everyone on the forum, we miss her so much and wish we could have done more for her, she was so badly let down

Has it really been a year? I often think of her. Especially when we get giants in or I look at Bella. She was such a brave bunny and thank goodness she got to know what love and kindness was with you x

For those of you who don't know her story, Lily-Hope was removed from a house along with a large number of other bunnies, she was unable to walk due to her feet, she had horrendous sores on all four feet, she had a broken right foot and she was unable to bend her left leg, she had pus coming from her skin on her bum, she was dreadfully underweight and weighed only 3.85kgs when she should have been 7-8kgs, the previous owner was trying to breed from her

When she was well enough to travel to the specialist we took her and we were not prepared for what he found, Lily-Hope had 3 breaks in her right foot and due to the neglect had osteomylitis and her bones in her foot had disintegrated and there was nothing left, it was also found that she had an old break in her left leg and the bones had fused and she was unable to bend or move it, nothing could be done, we made the awful decision of helping her to the bridge

The previous owners were not prosecuted even though the specialist and the vet were prepared to go to court and there was cast iron proof of neglect and cruelty

Poor poor bun thats awful.

Some people want stringing up

What the hell were these ppl (i use the term lightly) doing? Just evil. Poor baby.

Oh my goodness, I am crying again, look at what has just arrived for us, today has been so very hard and going through the photos has brought it all back, I just hope that Lily-Hope is happy and playing at Rainbow Bridge and to receive this beautiful bouquet of flowers with a lovely card from Helen and Colin (Helgalush and Mr Helgalush)

Thank you so much Helen and Colin, it really is so kind of you

I hope she's having a blast at the bridge, she was a very special lady and I can't believe it's been a year These special buns are sent to help us, and I think she helped us all.

Who are Helen and Colin?

Oh Lily-Hope I am so sorry.
Snowy I am so sorry sending you hugs

I have tears in my eyes reading this. That poor poor bun. How anyone could neglect an animal to that degree (or any degree!) is beyond my comprehension.

I can't understand why people keep getting away with these cruel acts

I hope you are happy at the bridge Lily-Hope. You deserve to be after being let down so badly during your life here.

Snowy, it's comforting to know that she found some happiness and love with you before she left.

What awful circumstances to be living in. It makes me despair about people ever taking rabbit housing seriously when cases like Lily-Hope's are not taken to court. Here's hopig she'd having a great time at the bridge.

Aw Lily Hope, I hope you are having fun at the bridge.
Theo,she will be watching over you and Roy, and be
forever greatful for the loving care you both gave her
in her final days. x

What a terrible story!!! She was very lucky to be adopted by you though!!!

Im sure she is having a wale of a time at the bridge!

Hope the tears have stopped for you now, you shouldnt be upset, You should be proud!!! She was beautiful and thats because of your amazing TLC!!!

poor little soul, It breaks me thinking people could do this to poor innocent creatures

Oh gosh, I can't believe it's a year since your beautiful girl left for the Bridge.

At least she knew love and care in her final days. No-one could have tried harder for her than you.

Binky free Lily-Hope, mended and pain-free at the Bridge.

Words fail me.....

What a beautiful girl, am glad she found some kindness and TLC.
