The Return Of Bunny

Since receiving Bunny, a soft cuddly rabbit plush, for Easter earlier this year, Poppy and Bunny have been inseparable.

8-month-old Poppy takes Bunny everywhere with her.

“She just started wanting to cuddle it when she sleeps, playing with the ears, now she can’t fall asleep without it,” said mum Madi Moore.

Usually leaving Bunny at home on family outings, Bunny unexpectedly came with Poppy to Show Whitsunday on the weekend.

However, on the trek back to the car after a day of fun at the show, Madi and her husband realised that Bunny was missing, and soon tore through the pram and nappy bag.

“We don’t normally bring Bunny with us for this reason,” explained Madi.

“We did retrace our steps and asked a few of the show bag stands, but no one had it.”

Convinced that Bunny was definitely unable to be found, the family stopped in at Cherrie Baby, where they had purchased the first Bunny.

“But of course, the new one didn’t look or smell the same, so our bub wasn’t overly happy with it. That’s when I would try my luck by posting on Facebook.”

Within two hours of posting, Bunny was found and given to organisers of the show.

“Apparently everyone knew about the baby who lost her bunny.”

The next day, Madi was able to stop by the showgrounds and collect the newly found Bunny, much to the delight of Poppy, who eagerly awaited the cuddly toys return.
