        Some of you may know by now my mom is not an animal person at all. And I have been having issues with her and Marshmallow for awhile since I do not live on my own for now and my mom wants Marshmallow gone.

        I have been tricking my mom into caring for Mellow for a few weeks like calling from somewhere and asking her to let her out and give her a treat. Or being gone when it was time to clip her nails or when I knew my mom was having people over so she would clean the pens out. Or shhh teaching Marshmallow that where my mom sits on the couch is her spot so she will “accidentally” be sitting there when my mom comes in the room. And yes I admit it I have faked a Marshmallow injury so my mom would cuddle her because no matter how hard she tries she cannot resist cuddling a “hurting” animal even if said animal was 110% fine.

        So I come in today and Marshmallow is laying in the kitchen and Pacey is laying in the living room since they are semi civil to one another again. My mom looks at me and says “Sonn I think you should get another bunny to bond with Pacey since Marshmallow can’t be spayed yet or never.” I literally stood there with my mouth hanging open unable to speak. And then I thought she was just doing it so she could get rid of Marshmallow and got defensive and told her there was no way I was replacing Marshmallow. And she said words I never thought I would hear “No, no I have realized Marshmallow is not all that bad she is actually kind of like a cat.” Again I stood speechless.

        Ultimately I turned her down as hard as that was since I am getting the gotta get more bunnies itch and there are around 15 bunnies at the shelter by me that I want to huggle all day long right now lol. At least until I find out for sure whether or not Mellow will ever be able to get spayed or not if not I may consider trying to bond Pacey with another bunny but for now I want to at least give Pacey and Mellow a chance.

                lol You Cheeky!! I couldn’t help but giiggle thru your 2nd paragraph. That was quite a risk Sonn. hehe *shakes head* Glad Marshmellow showed her true colours to your Mom. Now you just have to apply the same technique for those puppies….

                  lol if only it were that easy with the puppies! I think I have found a great home for Callie the little girl but people don’t want the boys because they aren’t 2 lb Chihuahuas lol so they want to tie them up outside but that is definitely not something I am willing to let happen.

                      Somebody’s in trouuuble!!  But I see your point – it would be hard to get someone for Pacey then have Marshmellow on her own.

                          Wow! Well, that is impressive! I think it’s a good idea you are going to hold off tho, at least for now. There are different things to think about. If your mom likes Marshmallow, is there any chance she could be a “downstairs family pet”. She’d get more attention form more people and this would free up the space for a bonded pair in your room.

                            I am not sure if my mom would be willing to have a living area pet. She is fine when I let them out around the house but when she wants them put away she wants them away lol. But I should be moving soon *thankfully* so I will probably wait until then to make a final decision about everything.

                                  Who couldn’t resist Marshmallow though? Look at that face! Sonn you need to teach me your ways! Must trick my parents too! Best thing that worked on my dad after I got Indy (he wouldn’t talk to me after he discovered him) My Aunt and Grandpa came over and just laughed at him. They told him I am just like Grandma and you can’t change it so just deal with it, and laughed at him some more lol!! I need to go out more looks like and make my mom care for them.

                                    Lol my mom stepfather and sister can resist Marshmallow they like Pacey better because he is small :sigh: I like them both since I can carry Pacey around with one arm and have to carry Marshmallow like a baby lol.

                                    I have became an expert at tricking my mom to like my pets. Like I am “inheriting” a trio of leopard geckos soon from a friend who is moving overseas my mom HATES anything reptile lol. But I guarantee in a month she will be coming into my part of the house to look at the leos just like she did the rabbits ferrets dogs and fish because I know which buttons to push to force her to accept them LOL
