So we went to town today. And I was ready to make a plea that the little torti lop at Petco come home with us. I was ready to cry blood if necessary.
And of course, we get there and it is gone.
Ah well, wasn’t meant to be I guess. But I’m a little heartbroken. ;_;
Probably a good thing though, because my daughter wound up nearly fainting later when we went to the grocery store (she hadn’t eaten anything this morning and was wearing a heavy coat and got overheated). I thought we were going to the ER for sure! She’s better now though.
Sooo…I am back to just thinking of my two. A sure-fire cure for the ‘almost-adopted-a-new-bunny-blues” is to cuddle the one waiting for you at home! ^_^

I know. It’s funny, we both prayed the bun would get adopted by someone nice. In fact, I pray that over every bunny I find in the store.
I suppose if I were searching for another BUNdle of joy, I should’ve gone to the animal auction at the end of the fair on the 9th and tried to save one of the rabbits there. :-/
But this one was special. I don’t know how else to put it. So it stung a little. But at the same time, I’m happy for it.

Tamera, that is such a sad story!
I lost a dear cat just last winter who was having breathing difficulties in his last weeks. He died in my arms and I had no vet nor way to send him on quickly myself except to pray that God would just take him. There is nothing good about having an animal die in your arms and suffering. I am thinking of getting a degree in animal medicine, as I probably will always have at least one type of animal companion, just so that when this situation presents itself, as it’s sure to do, I will be ready for it. K&D, I think just the one more. I mean seriously, I shouldn’t take on ANY more, but this one…I just can’t emphasize it enough…it was SO special. I guess it’s expression and body postures and overall size and shape, just seemed to remind me of Mimzy. I thought, if things wound up not working out in my attempts to bond Pip and Mim, maybe this one would’ve been a more comfortable fit for him.
Not that I won’t care for buns that prefer to be single. I just kind of feel bad that Mimzy was originally dropped off with two buns whom he seemed to really like and get along with, (which we weren’t able to catch as easy as him, so other folks in the neighborhood took one, and the other just disappeared one day before we could rescue it), despite not being fixed. And he always seems so little and alone in his night pen. He got on so well with Pip at first, but now she just bullies him.
But…eh…moot point now anyway. ^_^
