We received TWO updates to share with you today, over on The Happy Results. The recent surge in updates and photos has been so much fun. Please, keep them coming! It's very special to see how much they have grown and changed.
Thomas has a new video and photos on the Available Bunnies page. He is such a sweet little "cling-on" Bun. We know there is a special family out there for him!
Does your Hot Cross Bun have an Instagram page? Please let us know; we would love to follow you!

We made a brief video of Isla's babies and added some new photos of them to the Baby Holland Lops page.
There is another addition to The Happy Results!
Tootsie (and newly reserved Jimmy) are scheduled for their spay/neuter on January 31st. Tootsie will be ready for her retirement home by March 1st. If you are interested in this loving girl, please let us know. She is a bit shy initially, but can be quite a ham when she gets warmed up and comfortable.

Birth Announcement!
We are pleased to share the wonderful news that Isla and Gulliver are first-time parents to a litter of five babies. Please visit the Baby Holland Lops page to see their first pictures.
In other news, we are going to be listing Tootsie on the Available Bunnies page in the next day or two. She turned three years old yesterday and is ready to retire to a loving Forever Family. She will be going in for her pre-spaying vet appointment on Wednesday (along with Jimmy, who has been reserved and will be neutered prior to placement with his new family). If you are interested in Tootsie, please let us know. She was a very loving and nurturing mother to her babies. She is a bigger, false dwarf girl, but has lovely Holland Lop type. Tootsie would do better in a home with gentle older children or grown-ups only. She enjoys cats and quickly grows accustomed to gentle dogs.

New videos and photos are up for Thomas, Stewart, and Pillow, on the Available Bunnies page. We also did videos and pictures of Sweet Tart's kit and Goldilocks' litter for the Baby Holland Lops page. They are growing up too quickly!

Today was another busy day at Hot Cross Buns. Albert went to his new home in the Cincinnati area. He is going to be Button's friend and playmate, once they have been bonded. It was such a joy to see Buttons (and her mama!) again. She and Albert seemed to hit it off pretty well, so we hope their beautiful beginning continues once Albert settles into his new home. (I'm digging through photos, trying to find my favorite one of Albert, but we have a lot of pictures, so it's slow going.) Splash was the next little guy to head for home. He is going to be absolutely adored, each and every day. We couldn't be happier with his new family and look forward to many updates about how he is learning new tricks and growing into a handsome big Bun. It was a long wait for his new family, but we think it was worth it! Lastly, little Cream-Foo (the doe we were considering holding onto from Molly's litter) was the chosen Bun when she met the M. Family. It was a very tough decision between her and Pillow, because both were utterly sweet and adorable, but Cream-Foo is going to be the little sister to a gorgeous neutered buck named Oliver. She will be showered with love and affection from everyone she meets. |

Splish is settling in well at his new home! We hope to share his new name as soon as one is decided upon, but the right one is being a bit elusive, so more experimenting is being done. In the meantime, we will enjoy his updates and adorable pictures. :D Cheesecake went home early this afternoon. Her new family stopped by on their way home to Michigan, after driving up from a holiday spent in Florida. It was a long, roundabout way of bringing home their little girl, but so sweet to see the joy on their faces when they met their little Bun. The surprise announcement of the day is that Mayhem has been matched! We were thrilled when a family contacted us, indicating interest in this outgoing, adventurous boy. Everything worked out so they could visit today to meet him and they ended up taking this mischievous little Bun home with them. He will be celebrating his first birthday at the end of the month, and we can't think of a better gift than for him to have his own forever family. He will be living further northeast of Cleveland, where they get "real" snow accumulation, so perhaps he will get to make a snow bunny this winter, just for fun. We wish all of our families the very best, and Happy Bonding! |

Wee Walter is on his way to his new home. We are going to sorely miss that handsome little guy who sired so many of our beautiful Buns. Sweet Tart's baby and Goldilocks' babies are now squinting at the world through newly opened eyes. We will be updating their photos on Monday. Please forgive the lack of new photos and videos...I'm still feeling under the weather and am trying to keep up with the essential daily tasks, after which I'm too tuckered out to do much more. I have a feeling another trip to the doctor's office will be happening this week. :( |

FroYo is on his way to his new home today. We're going to miss that little cutie, but know he will be a wonderful addition to his new family. :)
Albert's pick-up has, sadly, been postponed due to one of his new doggy brothers-to-be becoming ill. He was very disappointed by this turn of events (as we all were) but we are praying that Blue will feel better very soon!
A very happy and safe New Year to you all!

Our beautiful, sweet, sassy Marilla went to her new home today. She warmed up to them quite quickly and I have a feeling she will be very happy with her new family, and they with her. |

A Very Merry Christmas, to all of our friends! It's only the second day of the Christmas season, so we may be a bit late, but we haven't missed it altogether! A heart-felt "Thank You" to everyone who has sent such kind thoughts while we were down with the flu. It was a doozy, but we made it through and are back to work again! We started the day by sending Apple Crisp off to her new home with her loving family. She went to be the special Christmas gift of a young lady who has wanted a bunny for a very long time...and her parents finally agreed that the time was right. She arrived at our house wearing a "Holland Lops Mama" t-shirt, so we knew she was going to fit right in! :D Apple Crisp seemed to agree and approve, and she is now getting settled in with her new family in the lovely state of Michigan. We finally posted birth announcement information on the Baby Holland Lops page...along with some pictures. We hope you are as smitten with these little cuties as we are! |

Mayhem and Albert both came through their neutering without any problem. They look a bit blue, but they are doing well, physically. :)
We have five sick kids down with the flu, so please forgive the lack of new photos or videos. There is a lot of laundry, cleaning, and cooking for picky palates right now, leaving very little time for the "fun stuff." Please stay healthy, friends!
There are four new, little lives in the Hot Cross Buns nest boxes right now, but that's all I'm saying until I can post photos of slightly furry babies. :)

Mayhem and Albert have been scheduled for neutering on Friday, December 20. If all goes well, Albert has a family waiting for him (the same family who now have our sweet Button), but we will be looking for a special family who will be up to the challenge of loving on Mr. Mayhem. We love him and know someone else will love his exuberant zest for life, too.
There may be a birth announcement (or two) to make in a few days. We are also working on planning litters for next month. :D

Finished! We just completed updating the photos and video of Molly and Albert's babies. They can be viewed on the Baby Holland Lops page. I suppose we should do a proper gender reveal of all the babies form Tabitha's and Molly's litters. Watch the slideshow to see what everyone is. :) Wee Walter and Plum Bun continue to do well with their spay/neuter recovery. Walter has already been up to his old tricks, so we know he is feeling pretty good. Plummy is moving a bit more slowly, but he is eating and using the potty well, so is definitely making good progress. We have scheduled Albert and Mayhem for the first stage of the neutering process, with their pre-surgical consultation on December 18th. If anyone is interested in learning more about these little guys, please let us know and we will be glad to help. The first step is to fill out the New Bunny Questionnaire thoroughly and we will go from there. Thank you for considering an older Bun in need of a loving home! |

We just received the news that Plum Bun and Wee Walter are both doing great. They will be home in a couple of hours to rest and recuperate from their procedures. We were able to take some new photos and make (very) brief videos of them this morning, too, all of which have been added to their listings on the Available Buns page. I'm going to be working on videos of FroYo and Jimmy next, and possibly Mayhem, if he cooperates! LOL Later that day...FroYo, Jimmy, and Marilla have new videos and photos! Mayhem will have to wait another day or two. ;) |

There are new Christmas-themed photos of Marilla and Cheesecake on the Available Bunnies page. We also managed to post a new video of Cheesecake and filmed one of Marilla, but I'm being kicked off the computer by a child who needs to write a paper. ;) Hopefully Marilla's video will be edited and posted tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, please say a prayer for Plum Bun and Wee Walter who will be going in for their spay and neuter. As always, we are a bit nervous for them and are praying for all to go well.
