Marshmallow

[Sonn]

 Today is Marshmallow’s birthday! BUT I went over  give her a few treats since I haven’t been over there in quite awhile. 

Marshmallow is gone! GONE! No one told me no one gave me the chance to have her back she is just gone! 

Apparently my stepfather decided he didn’t want to help take care of her anymore and my mom has to have help so they decided to give her away. Their reason for not coming to me first “You already have enough animals I don’t want people to think I have a daughter who is a hoarder” 

I am completely livid! She has been gone for almost 2 weeks!!!! 

I have the address of the person she went to and will be going to see her in a few hours if she is outside or in a bad home I will not hesitate to take her or offer money for her. This is ridiculous I should have known and should have just kept her and dealt with trying to keep her and Pacey both happy and separate and try to work around her outbursts.

Oh no! That is outrageous! I am so sorry. I hope you get her back! Please update soon as you know! I hope Marshmallow is fine!

[Sarita]

That is wrong! Please let us know how Marshmallow is. She is a very special girl.

[Sonn]

I am heading out there now since it is a 2 hour drive from my house. I will update when I get back

[Lintini]

Oh Sonn I am SO sorry!!! That is so insane! I really hope you can get her back. *hugs*

[mrmac]

I am sorry that happened! I hope everything works out and you are able to get her back! (((Hugs)))

[Monkeybun]

OMG. I would be LIVID at my mother if she allowed that to happen. This is outrageous. You had only allowed your mom to keep her because she promised she’d be taken care of.

Grrrrr

[bunnytowne]

I don’t have words to describe how I feel right now.  

OMG 

My mother did that to me    lookout.        I went 6 years without speaking to her for a nasty letter she wrote me after she visited when I had my son and tried to   well anyway         we get along a lot better these days.

Whoa  that is just so wrong.   I hope Marshmellow will be ok.   Yes let us know.

[Sonn]

Ok well I am home and Marshmallow is not here 

I went to the woman’s house she is an older woman. When I walked in I immediately noticed Marshmallow and another bun an English Lop named Toby lounging under a window. 

We sat down and I plopped Mellow in my lap who was not her usual must bite self but rather squished down into my lap demanding I rub her ears. 

She explained that she has been looking for a playmate for Toby for over a year when she noticed Marshmallow’s ad on a website (I didn’t even know there was an ad!!!) and was instantly taken with her even though she hadn’t met her. 

When she went to my mom’s house to pick her up my mom almost changed her mind but let her go to her anyway with all of her stuff. 

She has been working on bonding her and Toby since the first day home and at first they fought like they wanted to kill one another but now they do everything together. 

Marshmallow doesn’t have a room or a cage there is a pen in the back of the living room which is 4 x-pens put together (I didn’t know something could be that big in a living room!) where they are kept only in case of an emergency otherwise they are both free range rabbits. 

I of course asked if I could look around at the bunny proofing she didn’t mind but I couldn’t find anything anywhere dangerous. I have gotten some creative ideas though how to keep mr chewy Walter off of my fan cords. 

But Marshmallow was super content and she has lost even more weight since I had her and this woman has a full size garden that she gets all of their veggies from.

She said she has had rabbits from the time she was a little girl and bought one off of the side of the road in Georgia and over the years she has learned how to take better and better care of them. Plus her son is studying to be a small animal vet.  

So even though a part of me didn’t want to I said my goodbye’s to Marshmallow and gave her the birthday presents I had bought earlier this week and left her there…. And promptly went to my car and cried like a baby. 

She seems happy and I am welcome to visit her anytime I want. 

 

And I admit it I thought really hard how I could hide those big floppy ears on Toby if I made a dash for the door with him 

I now have learned a lesson to never ever ever ever trust my family with an animal ever again. I mean I understand that my mom can’t care for one on her own and my step father decided he didn’t want to help any longer but it makes me sad and angry that she didn’t tell me or give me a chance to get Marshmallow back. 

[Sarita]

Well, I’m relieved that Ms. Marshmallow is in good hands – she’s been through alot. I would be very angry too at my family if they did this to me – it’s not right.

[mrmac]

I am sorry you didn’t come home with her but it sounds like she is being well taken care of. It is nice that the lady offered for you to come and visit her. It is frustrating though that your mom didn’t even tell you, at all. I would be so angry! Many hugs to you!

[Monkeybun]

I ma glad she is at least in a good home. Who knows what kind of place she could have ended up at, with an ad put out for her. Glad a nice one got her. Tell your mom and step dad Monkey sends growls and thumps!

[MimzMum]

Wow, that is just…unforgivable. Reminds me of when my mom had my cat declawed while I was at 6th grade camp, after I thought I had her word that she’d wait till I got home….but her furniture was more important. >.<
It seemed like such a good match for your mom and Mallow too…I thought they’d gotten on so well? What a shame.

Anyway, how fortunate that she fell into good hands and with a new mate to boot! ^_^ I am pleased to see that you have visitation. Although I figure that would actually be a little hard to see her somewhere else…but of course it is a good place, so you don’t have to worry and it sounds like a forever home to me.

I’m sorry your mom and stepdad did this Sonn. ((((hugs)))) Kids should be able to trust their folks. It’s just not right.

[bunnytowne]

Oh Sonn.    I would have cried like a baby too.     It is so good she is in a good home with a friend.   I am glad she is doing good. 

It is so sad though to do this behind your back like that.  I am peeved.     That was just so wrong

[mocha200]

I am so sad for you! that is horrible! I am just glade she ended up with a nice family.

[jerseygirl]

Hi Sonn, I’m sorry you’re going thru this.

I recall part of the agreement was you were to take her back if there were any probs. Their reasoning for not contacting you is no good and disrespectful. I’m really sorry. I suppose the silver lining in all this was that you were able to locate Marshmellow and find her in a good situation. I’m relieved to hear you’re able to continue to see her. I’m gonna miss her!

[Sonn]

Yeah it was part of the agreement and I thought they would actually follow through with it but given the history of fights with me and them when it comes to animals I really should have known better.

I haven’t talked to them in awhile due to another personal issue. But I find the reason for not telling me about this ridiculous and just an excuse.

I was very relieved that she wasn’t in a bad situation or I would have completely flipped.
