        Truly bitter sweet… Megan (With rescue) called today to inform me that the new home didnt want to wait any longer and wanted the girls to come tomorrow. The new family is meeting them halfway (5hr drive one way) and I needed to take the girls over tonight. Its so hard to believe they will be gone after tonight. I know Im doing the right thing for them and our family it just really feels sureal now, last minute “am i doing the right thing” is happening. I already disassembled their cage, packed up their leashes, toys, bowls (Except water and hay) and got their carrier out of the “hurricane kit” Ill leave here around 7 tonight once my boys go to bed

          Aww, that IS bittersweet. I know that I would have a very difficult time bonding with bunnies and then have to give them up (even though I know it’s a wonderful thing that they’ve found a good home). I’ve thought about the idea of fostering bunnies, but I know that I’d get super attached to them.

          You did the right thing, as hard as it is to feel it.

          Wishing the girls a great future. You were an angel to them

            Aww hugs for you!! It’s so hard to let pets go that you’ve come to love. Even if it’s for the better! I know it’ll be harder for you too since you had a time planned out for when they were going to get adopted and now they’re going sooner than thought. Know you’re doing the right thing! *hugs*

              ((((soft bunny hugs and whisker kisses)))) for you adee, it must be so hard even when you know it has to be. The girls know they have been so loved and I believe that will help them adjust to their new family. But you’ll always be mom.

                I am so sorry. You’re a strong person to make such a sacrifice for them and your family.

                        Oh, wow. I can’t imagine.
                        You really are strong to do this for your family and for the girls.
                        They know they have been love.

                          I’m sorry… even tho we knew it was coming. You are doing the best thing you can for your family and for the girls. I know that really doesn’t provide you with any comfort today, and it’s okay to “grieve” them. Please come back around here if you want. You’re always welcome.

                            That the new home is busting to have the girls is a good thing – hope Abbie and Rain’s transition is smooth. ((((Ashley & Family))))

                              I got home about an hour ago… long enough to thoroughly clean the balcony and put away the last lingering things of theirs. Im excited for the new family and it really is a relief knowing they are going to be loved and cared for in their new home, that the need to feed them when things get panicked with are son is no longer going to be a concern. It truly is bitter sweet.. thanks everyone for your kind words. I will of course lurk

                                    It may take a while to stop thinking I have to go feed my furbabies.  It will make things easier for you though…. not having that responsibility right now when you have sooooo many other responsibilities…

                                    I am sorry this has to happen…    It is always nice to keep in touch with their new parents.    Hopefully that will be ok…

                                    You did your best by them and I know you are doing the best for them now too… As much as it hurts and you will miss them…

                                    You take care  and don’t be a stranger.   Hopefully their new parents will pop in too

                                      You had the strength to do a very difficult thing even though it hurts because you wanted the best for them.    I will keep you in my thoughts as you grieve.

                                        Adee,
                                        I’m sorry I missed this post on the 7th. That was a crazy week for me and I just didn’t see it. But this morning I was wondering how the girls were doing since I thought it was about now that they were leaving you. So after a search in your profile, I saw this. I”m sorry they left earlier than planned, but I agree that it was a sign of the new family’s eagerness to have them.

                                        If you’re check this, have you heard how they’re doing?
                                        I hope by today it’s brought you some relief and peace of mind.
                                        {{{{{{{{{{{{Lots of hugs to you and your family.}}}}}}}}}}}}
