Earlier this week I had to put my 13-year-old German Shepherd to sleep. She and my bun, Kali, were BFFs. In fact, in the last few days when Suki’s health was really failing, Kali was like her little nurse and checked on her multiple times a day, snuggled with her, etc. 

For the most part, it seems like Kali has been adjusting well to not having Suki around, but she’s been way more cuddly with me. We’ve been snuggling in bed for a half hour or so every night, and tonight when she saw my bed (she mostly stays downstairs unless I bring her upstairs or she jumps the gate) she literally jumped out of my arms (onto the bed) and ran up to my pillow and hunkered down for snuggles. Before this, she used to snuggle for maybe 5 minutes and then she got bored and wanted to go do other things.

But I’m a little worried that Kali is going to get depressed without another pet in the house. I really don’t want to get another pet right away. I got Kali because Whisky passed and Suki was so depressed without a friend. 

Any tips for keeping a bunny solo? She’s only 6 months old, so I think she’ll probably adjust fine, but I worry about her and I can’t deal with another loss this year.
