Bunny from Canada

I’m working on a series of posts, a fashion show of patients (Pink and Blue, Catastrophe, Maxine) who got clothes in addition to, or instead of, repairs, but I just sent this bunny home and I was really happy with him, and I love his kind of quirky expression that suggests bunny front teeth, but doesn’t show them, so I just wanted to share him while he was top of mind.

Bunny’s person’s person wrote from Alberta last March. Bunny had had a lot of adventures and was now missing his nose, had a damaged muzzle, and was quite dirty. Here is his diagnosis photo:

What you can’t see there is he also has a big hole in his spine. But… it was all treatable. A spa, some stitching, a new nose, and he’d be all better. If you look closely at the photo, on his left (right of photo) you can see one of the stitches that helps make his quirky face shape.

Here’s Bunny in his bubble bath once he arrived at the hospital:

I know… without the nose and with those bright eyes, he looks a bit freaked out… but I promise he’s ok! And you can see how he’s already much cleaner. :-)

Bunny first got restuffed, and of course, he got a heart with a bit of original stuffing:

Then his wounds were stitched and he got a new nose and all of a sudden, he was his plump happy self, clean and ready for more hugs:

Bunny was ready to fly home to Canada! His person’s person wrote:

“I never told you how good the bunny looks. You did an amazing job and I hope it brings a tear of joy to her eye. Thanks again for restoring this bunny as the sentimental value far exceeds any price range from the department store gifts.”

Bunny flew home yesterday, so he’s probably going through immigration now (customs), but he’ll be home and in his family’s arms soon. :-)
