        I check the IHRS site every now and then to see which rabbits are adopted out and meet the new furry faces.  Its a bad habit probably, but Ive never gone looking for a third rabbit, just curious.  They updated profiles and changed the pics so I reread all the bios and stared at all the new pictures.  Anyways this is her.  http://www.indianahrs.org/adoption-details.aspx  I burst into tears halfway through the first sentence because it matches Rose’s bio word for word on the first paragraph, so this is Rose’s sister.  For those who are kind of new Rose was a bunny I lost, see the siggy.  I was crying so hard that I couldnt even finish reading the whole thing at first and had to dig through my files and find Rose’s bio I have printed out to clarify everything.  I know it sounds crazy to a lot of non bunny people because they dont understand how much we do love our bunnies.  But its like KatNip (now im thinking its not her, ill find out) says about when you find a bunny it clicks and its right wether you wanted another or not, to not go looking and they will find you.  I know its not Rose and she will not be the same nor will she make me feel better about Rose’s death, but I feel like she is family and that I love her already because she came from the same horrible past that Rose did.  They were starved and abused and dumped, sick when they got to IHRS.  I found her last night and I cant stop thinking about her.  I had the most horrible dream (im good for these horrible bunny dreams huh) that she died in her foster home in a cage and there were so many bunnies there that nobody cried for her, they just dumped her in a can.   I know thats crazy and wouldn’t happen, but.. it still got to me.  Advice?  I feel like she should be mine.

          Is this where you adopted Rose from? If so, then it’s certainly possible she’s part of this group.

          I do love the New Zealand rabbits and I know that they are a challenge to find good homes for but I guess I would ask myself can I really afford another rabbit – money wise and emotion wise. Will you try and bond her with your current pair? If you do and it doesn’t work out are you willing to keep her separately…probably all the questions you are already asking yourself.

          I doubt that she is going to die from neglect in her foster home so please don’t worry about that. I also know she is probably not going to share all the characteristics that sweet Rose had…not that Mae won’t be sweet.

            Wow… that’s amazing. How long ago did you lose Rose? (She’s a beautiful bunny, by the way.) And Mae is lovely, too. I’m absolutely speechless, except to say that it certainly sounds like you’re meant to take in Mae like you were meant to take in Rose. That would be a beautiful tribute to Rose… to give her sister a safe, loving home where she could thrive. Oh, God, I think I’m going to cry, too! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you and for Mae.

              Sarita- Its is absolutely her sister. The first paragraph is the same for both Rose and Mae, this is where I got Rose, and their ages match up perfectly. And of course they look the same. Yes I think I can afford another rabbit, and she will be getting a VPI plan asap if I get her. And since college is going terrific (at least a 4.0 now) and I only go twice a week I have the time for her. Im not sure about bonding them to a trio, I thought Id wait and see what happened. If I did I would give it several months before trying because Mae sounds gentle and I would want her to be comfortable with everything before I tried a trio. But if I think eveyone would be better left as is then no I wouldnt bond them. And yes Im prepared to keep her apart from my pair. I decided I could do all of this and make it work whatever happened as soon as I decided she should me mine. Yea I know it was a crazy dream, everyone loves their buns no matter how many they have.

              Lara- Rose passed in March of this year, from what they think was a upper resp. infection. Thank you, I didn’t think that REW buns were cute until I had Rose actually. And dont cry, Ive done enough lol.

                  I think that if you have the time and money to help another rabbit who needs a home, then go for it. Sometimes things are meant to be and if you feel that way and are prepared to give another rabbit a forever home, it would be a great idea to help the sister of the bunny you loved so much.

                    oh goodness!! If your heart and your brain are both telling you to adopt Mae than go for it!! I mean, we all know that our hearts can be deceiving but if your logic and brain agrees then it sounds perfect! keep us updated.

                                  =D I think she’s as good as yours. Congrats! But don’t worry about her being in the foster home… they’re bunny people, they care about her =)

                                    Please keep us updated. I love that you are considering a REW and an older rabbit. You are a sweetheart to want this beautiful rabbit and also a tribute to your gorgeous Rose.

                                        REW’s are beautiful. If they were more rare people would swoon over them.

                                          I just figured out what it stood for! I can’t help it, they gross me out =( Too many childhood associations with rats and lab animals. Sigh.

                                                        I agree to know a Red-eyed white rabbit is to love them. I do know they have many sad associations but I also know that those of us who have known and loved them (and I’ve had many) come to associate those beautiful red eyes with love – I prefer to call them rose colored…I don’t think they are really red. I know many rabbit lovers who have felt they were not so attractive until they came to know them. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess rabbits are color blind when it comes to love too as is the case of Hammer but I know everyone who has had the luck of ending up being owned by one has never ever regretted it.

Has she only just come good for adoption? That’s terribly sad… Is the foster carer the same one that had Rose? I’m just thinking when you were trying to get some photos of her. Perhaps the fosterer has some if she’s been involved from the beginning?

                                                                      Glad to hear college is going well for you also. Smiles all round!

And when they changed pictures on the site she caught me. Or 2) she is just been put up for adoption for some reason or maybe returned. Or maybe they thought she wasnt ready until recently. Idk but I plan to ask. I dont know yet if Mae is with the same foster as Rose was with yet, but I doubt it. Rose’s foster was pretty new to the rabbit thing. But I havent heard anything yet and its killing me lol.

I begged, I pleaded, I cried, I pulled the guilt trip, I used my birthday and my college graduation, and my mom still said no. I threatened to get one anyway and she said it would be disrespectful. Sigh.

I thought I had everything for a third bun and I wouldnt need to spend much, nope I spent $100. 3 boxes of cubes, water crock, water bottle for backup, jumbo litter box, dog leash clips and more zipties. Now I just need a new rug, I could use the old raggy one but its not so nice, its from litter training days. I havent even gotten the okay yet and im setting everything up! I built Hammer and Lucy’s new setup and started on Mae’s. I had to get rid of more of my stuff to make them good sized cages. I probably should wait to do all this stuff till I get a yes but Im too excited and can’t stop thinking about it!

                                                                                Sibley- I am a good arguer, my mom is not. I use that lol. There were a few minutes of pleading but in the end she accepted that this was really really important and gave up. Every single one of the animals we have now are the result of my being annoyingly persistent (but this was more important to me then most). One cat, Toluz, she said no to for hours. I found him at my friends 16th birthday party and he was thin, sad and pathetic. I texted my mom for hours insisting he was coming home with me, and when she came to pick me up it was still a no. But I got in the car with him anyway and now three years later he is lounging in the hallway

                                                                                  I was not looking for a 3rd bunny when I saw Griffin’s litter.  But I had a feeling about those bunnies- so I followed up on it-and now I have my sweet adorable, nutty Griffin.

WOW IM GOING TO EXPLODE IN ANXIETY FROM NOT KNOWING!!! **BOOM** No, but really I got all tense in my legs, crossing them too hard because I was so anxious lol!! Oh wow I hope you can get her that is just so amazing and what an honor to your Rose that you can love her sister and give her a forever home. This is so heart wrenching I’m all teary! Can I call them and tell them you need to adopt her right this instant?!!?! Hehe! I know that zing you get as well from when you see something you just must have. I felt that way when I saw Bun. I had absolutely nothing for a rabbit but I KNEW she was the one for me. I am so happy for you!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

                                                                                    Bunnyliz you sound just like me. My parents constantly told me no. It didn’t stop me from bringing home… 2 cats, 1 dog, 3 chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, 50 gallon fish tank….80 gallon fish tank.. my poor poor parents. Lol!!!!! I love animals!!

She’s brought home kittens from boxes left outside, more kittens from a paper route my sister had, a mouse from a car wash she went to, gerbils from my grade 6 class when school let out for summer…

                                                                                      And then I started. A kitten from a house where she wasnt being fed at all. Ended up being 3 pounds fully grown, poor little thing. Another kitten from across the street from where I lived. Then I found my now-Hubby. And then my Monkey bunny. And soon another bunny, after Monkey is fixed. Then, when I tell him we’re getting a house, more bunnies! hehe

                                                                                      Hope you get Mae! Monkey is crossing her ears for you

Hope she approves!

                                                                                          Jersey- LUCY!  I know!  She is a problem.  I expected she will not approve, but when I bun sat for a friend they both did good.  Lucy was just really curious but not agressive.  I didnt think about this till today, but im more worried about Hammer… Mae looks like Rose.  Do you think he will think its Rose?  She passed 7 months ago, I would think he remembers her but hopefully he gets that its not her from her smell.  It makes me nervous, because when she passed he did grieve and caused himself complications with not eating.  But they dont really know what his problem was, it could have been grieving, or pain from his teeth check, or a mix.   But my biggest concern is keeping Hammer and Lucy bonded!  I predict Lucy will get humpy which isnt okay with Hammer.  I just need to watch them closely and maybe a few stressful car rides will keep things together.  Now im , but im still about Mae.

                                                                                                      I didnt think about this till today, but im more worried about Hammer… Mae looks like Rose. Do you think he will think its Rose?

                                                                                                      That had crossed my mind too….I don’t think so, I like to think they can differentiate. Besides, his life is different now. He’s been a single bun, had and lost a short term companion and then grieved, now bonded with another companion. I’m thinking you’ll get normal reaction from him at having another animal about – whatever “normal” might be!

I hope they contact you soon!

                                                                                                                The update is… there is no update.   Im probably calling tonight if I dont hear anything at all by then.  I submitted it mid Saturday, and got an automatic email saying I need to do a phone interview and then we are good to move forward in dating or whatever as long as you get approved.  I havent heard anything since the auto email.  So all I need is to chat for a bit and then Mae would be ready to come home with me, so its not a huge time consumming process.

These are all volunteer groups and most of the time they do this in their spare time so a follow up is a good thing to do just in case it got lost somewhere in the shuffle.

It’s good that you are getting all of Mae’s background and now know more about Rose’s background too. It sounds like Mae has gotten alot of TLC and needs alot more.

But I didnt think about it so thanks, Ill bring it along for the car and maybe for the first day. I sounds like Rescue Remedy will be used a lot for her.

I thought perhaps they’d do that earlier on especially if in foster homes? It’s great your getting her history and more of Rose’s – does it give a bit more cloosure on Rose’s illness and passing? I’m betting she’ll be a thumper like Rose when you first brought her home. Ok, start the impatience again – c’mon Saturday!!

Jersey, Im not sure why I just noticed her or why she just came up for adoption. It may have been hinted that she mentally wasnt ready until recently, but I forgot to ask because I was all misty while we were chatting about her past and her current situation and how I will handle things, but its on my list of things to ask when I pick her up. And its not for sure on Saturday yet, she was suppose to get back to me and hasnt, but im being as patient as possible because her foster is the chapter manager and has a lot to handle, plus she just had surgery and is limited in what she can do right now. Monkeybun, I hadnt thought about videos instead of pictures, thats an awesome idea if she is camera shy. Sadly BB members wouldnt be able to see her then because ive tried and never had any luck with videos.

I’m sure you won’t get any sleep tomorrow night since you will be up all night making sure Mae is all happy and comfy in her new home :~) It’s so nice that her foster mom wants her to be comfortable too.

Rescue remedy… lol it might be useful here. I really do need sleep, I need to be ready for tomorrow. It will be very exciting but could go very wrong too. Mae could freak out terribly and Ill have to figure out what exactly is bothering her. Small things panic her sometimes so I have to be on my toes. I just really really am praying she doesnt start screaming, Ive never heard a bun scream before and it would just break my heart to hear that on the first day.

Im just terrified Ill slip up and forget who im handling and touch her wrong. She is pretty sensitive, so if I make a mistake she wont soon forget. And then she will be even more terrified! Breath Liz! Lol it will all work out in time. No matter what happens, time will help heal whatever I screw up lol.
