This is Parsnip, who over his lifetime kept me on my toes, taught me plenty of patience but above all he taught me how to literally fall in love with a large, barmy, bouncy bunny that was so full of lovely attitude and lots of little bunny beans no one could resist his character.  My local vets nick-named him ‘The Parsnip’ as he always proved quite a handful in the vets!

We broke all the rules of buying a new pet the day we purchased him as I was initially shopping for a pair of jeans only to be mesmerised by this handsome chap in a pet shop!  He didn’t look very well and his bottom was covered in sticky poop (lovely!).  Just one look into those dark eyes I knew I had to take him home.  We had no where to keep him, no food or bedding and at 4pm on a Sunday not many places were still open for us to get all the essentials but somehow we managed it and he settled in quickly. 

After a few days he really perked up and turned into the cheeky chap everyone fell in love with – we kinda knew he was ‘special’ from the day he actually sat on a rather large, rather grumpy bumble bee!!!!

After noticing Parsnip grooming my brothers dog  ( a whole story on its own!) we thought it would be a good idea to get him a girlfriend – Pixie arrived and his life was complete.

Sadly Parsnip passed away in his sleep two years ago at 8½ years but he really was the start to pursue my dream of owning my own small animal boarding company so Buns Away was born.
