Bunny friend? :/

[MissPinUp]

Lucy has a stuffed bunny I used when she was little, she would curl up next to it and cuddle.  Now she’s a little bigger than the bunny, but she grooms it constantly!! She also grooms my husband when she’s able, and my pillow for some reason.  But only when it doesn’t have a case on it.  I don’t know.  Don’t ask me.

Anyway.  Tonight I was sitting on the floor next to her pen, and I just watched her.  She’s really expressive, and for some reason she just looked so sad.  She flopped, and started grooming her bunny, but she looked so. sad.

It literally brought a tear to my eye.  Maybe I’m nuts, maybe she’s just tired.  But it got me to thinking, I’ve always completely dismissed the thought of getting her a playmate.  Mainly because we don’t have the space, and she’s VERY territorial and head strong.  She’s definitely an only child.  But maybe she’s lonely? 

Or maybe I’m crazy.  I can’t tell.  Thoughts?  Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Yes…. (note number of bunnies in my siggy lol) and also it made me get one a guinea pig friend, so now I’m stuck with a wheeking stinky little pig (who is cute but so not my choice lol

I’d think about it more…don’t over anthropomorphize, it’s always tempting but try to evaluate how she is tomorrow, and the next day. Rethink the reasons why you don’t want a friend. Rethink the reasons you do. Even if you give it serious thought and even do some bunny dating at a shelter-that doesn’t mean you have to get her a friend-you can always back out. It also does not mean you have a time limit either. So take your time and think lots. Once you bring a new bun home-there really isn’t any do-overs
