Lumpy was adopted suffering from a debilitating illness which saw him through a rigorous regime of sometimes 3 times daily treatments and hospitalisation. His gentle interaction with us was 'tolerated' by him, soley, we believe, because he knewthat we were there for him morning, noon and night to give him unconditional love & help that he so desperately needed to have a quality of life, however short or long that was to be.

Lumpy was 9 months old when we adopted him and he lost his fight for life at the age of 3 years and 10 months.  When Lumpy passed away quietly at home after an extremely adventurous morning running around his favourite garden there was no warning that Lumpy was going to leave us on that sunny afternoon. There were no indicators or clues when Lumpy left us. (It is known that rabbits have the ability to disguise an illness in order to protect themselves - particularly in the wild - from predators and this is why it comes as a terrible shock to some pet owners if their pet passes away sometimes suddenly without any indication of illhealth). Although we knew deep down that each day was another special day we were still devastated on his passing and found it extremely hard to come to terms with losing him as we have all our loved ones. So sleep tight all of you. I still shed a tear every time I remember each and every one of you.

So we share with you this very special story about Lumpy, our little Bright Eyes, with the hope that others will know there will always be animals out there in need.

All the animals that come to Lumpy Lodge are treated with the same love and care and upmost respect as Lumpy received by us
