We are very saddened to say that we were unable to save Bebe and Taylor from their ultimate fate. So many people were praying for them, and we feel just horrible. Shannon, one of their sponsors, has written this memorial for them:

It's only fitting that you share your dedication, as you did your lives. Bebe, you always looked out for Taylor, showing him the way. You were his vision in his last years and his comfort and warmth til the day he passed. You were a strong, plump little girl until you too, could not hold on to life any longer. Your pain is over now and we hope your last memories on earth were surrounded by those who loved and truly cared for you like you always deserved.

Taylor & Bebe's Story:

Taylor was a teeny black and white holland lop who used to live with a family who's solution to not wanting him anymore was to let him go into the wilds of the world. Fortunately before that happened, he was taken by a woman who knew the family. Taylor then spent a few years or so in a backyard hutch. There, he developed cataracts and was eventually moved indoors (where rabbits SHOULD be). Thankfully Taylor got a friend. A loving, caring friend at that, named Bebe. Bebe nurtured and cared for Taylor as his sight got progressively worse. Taylor used Bebe as his "eyes" and to help him get around, find his food and use the litter box. Unfortunately, Taylor never received the veterinary care he so desparately needed and he was not let out of his cage to romp and play. He was now completely blind and his back legs were very weak from lack of movement and exercise. Bebe was overweight and didn't know what it was like to play and binky like a bunny.

Due to family circumstances, Bebe and Taylor needed to find a new home (yet again). 3Bunnies graciously took them in, despite Taylor's condition and Bebe's "plumpness". Finally, after at least 6 years of life, Taylor got the love, care and medical attention he so desperately needed and 3Bunnies vowed to only let them go to a home that could care for them and specifically Taylor's disabilities (as well as keep up with Bebe's long overdue diet).

Sadly, Taylor's health detoriorated despite the continued love and efforts of his foster mom, Mona. The cataracts and infections had taken a toll on his frail little body and the prognosis was not good. He was suffering and in pain and there was nothing left that could be done. With his foster mom at his side, Taylor was helped over the bridge.

This sweet little soul survived so much hardship in his life. But when he passed, it was with someone who finally loved him. He crossed the bridge, having eventually known love from both humans and animals (Bebe & Lilly), the freedom to explore and the strength to never give up on life, no matter how badly life treated him.

Taylor, you were one of a kind and will be missed by those who's lives you've touched.

A few months later, Bebe was suffering as well, from bladder problems. Despite continued efforts and veterinary care, the very tough decision was made. Again, with Mona by her side, Bebe too was helped over the bridge and Taylor was there waiting for her.

Bebe, you were a little clown when you wanted to be. I can remember you scootching up the scatter rugs in the kitchen, smoothing it out with your paws and then running away from me when I came over to see what you were doing. You were a brave little girl til the end.

Rest in peace babies...you are now together once again.

Hi everyone, I'm Bebe and this is my bestest friend, Taylor. I'm a Dutch bunny, about 4 years old, and Taylor is a Holland lop, and he's about 6 years old.

Taylor can't see anything, because he has cataracts (I don't know why they call it that, since he's a bunny, not a cat), so I help him out by giving him lots of kisses and snuggles to let him know that everything is okay. I think he'd be lost without me, but you know, I think I'd be lost without him too! I'm a little bit overweight (that's what the humans say, anyway - I think I look perfectly fine, thank you), so I'm on a diet and I'm getting lots of exercise.

Because Taylor is blind, he's kind of mellow, but he does love to romp in the hay boxes. I'm more active, and I like to binky and jump in and out of, and on top of, the cat condos we have. It's a lot of fun.

Both of us are really hoping to find our next loving home, and we hope it's our forever home. We would do best in a quieter home, especially since Taylor can't see what's going on, and we'd love to have a play area set up for us - either an exercise pen or maybe a small room of our own. Taylor wouldn't do so well having free run of the whole house - I think it would just overwhelm him, and he deserves to feel secure.

Are you that special person who can give us our special home that we need? We sure hope so. We'll give you lots of love in return. Speaking of love, I have to go kiss and snuggle Taylor now - he's starting to wonder where I am.

But before I go, Taylor and I want to thank Kathy and also Shannon for sponsoring us, and helping to pay for our expenses!! You are both our heroes, and someday we hope to pay you back in bunny kisses and nosebonks and snuggles!!

Thanks for reading!!
Bebe and Taylor
