Sweetie, English Butterfly Bunny & Tour Guide
Hi and welcome to "Fairy Castle Farm" I hope you enjoy your stay! I should introduce myself, my name is Sweetie and I am a resident of Fairy Castle Farm. Well it's not actually a farm, but a suburban home in the southern suburbs of South Australia. I am a rare Old English Spot Bunny, and absolutely love life here with all my family and some good friends too... let me take you on a tour ....

A Wonderful Week.... Things are returning to normal ..

Well what a week we have had!

It's Yollie here, temporarily taking over the blog as my poor Sweetie's head is still in a spin, over all the activity of this week.

So to help a darling, precious girl out, you all will have to bear with me  I have said before I am not very good at this bloggy writing stuff so I apologise in advance if I ramble (as I inevitably will) ...

Firstly I wish to extend a huge thank you to everyone who passed on their prayers and healing wishes for my little princess, on behalf of myself, my husband and my daughter.

I feel the power of positive thinking and wishing, no matter your religious beliefs is a very real and true force to be recognised! We felt all your thoughts coming our way thick and strong from all over the world (see the end of this entry for a list of just this weeks global visitors). Thank you!

My daughter has bounced back wonderfully!  Full of gusto and never lacking in her good humour was the perfect remedy for such a debilitating illness.    I am amazed at how quickly she deteriorated and the brutal hold the Salmonella poisoning had over my baby's body. Yet am delighted at the rate at which she is improving now!

 No mother wants to see her child in such agony for any period of time, my poor girl suffered for a full 10 days straight before there was any sign of improvement. There was absolutely nothing I could do to take this pain away from her, I would of in a heartbeat given the opportunity.

 She spent a total of 6 and a half days in hospital and I will never forget the look of agony in her young 7 year old face. I wish to also thank all the Staff at the hospital/s who assisted  in her care. You were all wonderful and worth your weight in gold!  You made her feel so special and had such a gentle manner.  Even when you needed to glove/gown/mask up in her presence you never made her feel alienated.  When she was feeling such horrible pain and fear of what was happening to her body you did your best to ease her fears and explain her condition so she could understand,  we all thank you.

So as I said before it has been a huge week. My girl has eased her way back into school and we are hoping for full-time attendance starting tomorrow, fingers crossed.

On to other events.

Here you can see miss Sweetie, relaxing in her own burrow she dug this week!  She is very proud of herself and very protective of her burrow.  I think she did a marvellous job.
 Her mother on the other hand is not quite as impressed.  Here you see Teegee looking quite disapprovingly at Sweeties handiwork.  I would love to know her thoughts...
 Her father, Angel, on the other hand looks quite proud of his big girl.  Infact he is the only bunny whom got an invitation to inspect the new accommodation.  But then Sweetie has always been a daddy's girl.
 Ok, moving on.  Chester. Yes, he has had a horrible week, poor lad.

He had to give up his 'palace' to none other than master, Billy the Kitty (who belongs to my grandparents) while he recovered from his big boy snip.  Chester was a very put out puss!  He is glad to see the back of Billy and ever so pleased to return to his rightful place in his palace, the couch, aka, Chester's Throne.


 I must say, he really does know how to use it!
 Ok, so is everybody still with me?  I told you I would go on a bit....

 So Chester is once again happy, however he is keeping an eye out in case the little minion returns...
 Here we have a few pics of Billy's time with me while recovering from his surgery....
 Here he is watching a documentary on mice, I am not kidding, it really was on T.V. and he found it very interesting.
 Being post operative, however did prove to be a little much for the little guy to stay awake all the way through,
 He tried his very best to stay awake, these were mice, swimming in milk, running on treadmills.....
But sleep won out in the end!


So that is about it from me, thank you for staying with me (if you are still reading this that is!) .

As promised you can see below all the wonderful people from all over the world who have visited the Kingdom this week, thanks again.

Billy the kitty - in for the snippy!!

Good day every-bun,

It's Sweetie here again,

I hope you are all well!
We have had a fantastic week, spoiling our recovering little princess.  We have been feeding her lots of yummy treats and giving her millions of nose bonks, kisses and bumps!

We too have been spoilt with lots of fantastic "story time" sessions.  These are my daddy's favourite, he thinks she is the ants pants when it comes to story telling!

Sorry we don't have any new pics to share - but we are on it and hope to update you all soon....

Ok, on to today's post....

Billy the Kitty - In for the Snippy!!!

Yep, Billy is all ready for his big boy op.





Tomorrow My Yollie will pick him up from Nonna's house (where he lives) and bring him here to the Kingdom, where he will serve as valiant Knight and protector for a couple of days.
I'm sure we will get to have a good ol' catch up on things, he will get to stay the night and then on Wednesday morning - off he will go (or should I say dragged)  to the Vets.













Billy will get to spend Wednesday night with us too before heading back to his house on Thursday.  Well that's the plan, anyhoo...

Now My Yollie just has to work out how to keep Billy and Chester away from each other!

 I wish her the best of luck....

That's it from me.

take care everybun and we will catch up soon, with pictures, I promise!!

Please come home Princess.... (*sob*)

Hi everybun,  It's Teegee here this time.
  Sweetie is feeling just too sad at the moment to update the blog.....So I'll do it.  I guess you all want to know what is happening with our little Princess?
 "Yes, please mummy....  I have been so worried and missing my little sister more than words can say".


 "I have been praying really, really hard for her to get better, and come home from hospital.  Bunny wishes are really super potent and strong you know!"
 "Not a moment goes by that I am not thinking about my little human, even when I'm in my litter tray".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 'It's exactly the same for me, Sweetie.  I miss her terribly. 
 We had our whole school holiday time together planned out! 
 Extra cuddles everyday. Giggles galore and game time. 
 Oh and all those extra tasty tidbits she gives me when she is home.  
I can't forget the beautiful piano practice, I love to listen to.  
Then there is the fun of listening to her read to me, 
and seeing the beautiful pictures she sketches of me.
 "Oh, Teegee, do tell us when she will be home......" (*sniff*)
 'We wait, night and day for our Princess........'   any sign?
Well guys, it's not quite the news I was hoping to give, she needs to stay in hospital a little longer. But at least "Bunny" or as he is affectionately know as, 'Bun-Bun' (by our little Princess), is there with her every step of the way!
 Sadly, she is still in hospital. This however, is where the Nurses are taking the best care of her. The Doctors are also doing their utmost to make her feel better as quickly as possible.  So this is where she will need to stay a little longer.  Bun-Bun has everything under control and doing his best to keep us posted.  He has been such a wonderful support and always volunteers to go first when something unpleasant needs to happen, so our little Princess can see it's not so bad and scary, no matter how worried she feels.  He wears his bandages proudly!
 So with a wave good bye from Bun-Bun, we thank every bun for the words of support - wishes and prayers.  We feel they really make a difference and although it was not the news we were hoping for, at least we know she is surrounded by her loved ones.  It is comforting to know that although she is so tired from being ill for such a long time now, she is putting her all into recovering quickly.  It also helps to know that she is being cared for by the best.
So hoping for improvement in leaps (well hops) and bounds, we will let you know soon how she is progressing.

From Teegee, (Sweetie's mum) xoxo
