Yesterday we went to Atwoods, a like farming and feed store because it's near Easter and they have bunnies. I raise litter box trained house rabbit(s) so I LOVE anything at all to do with bunnies. We got our first bunny, Padfoot, there in 2006. In 2008, Padfoot died from a pasturella abscess in her lung exploding. Needless to say we were devastated. I just wanted to play with the bunnies. And they were gorgeous. And they were Padfoot's breed. And they had her eyes. And they looked like her. And they are more than likely related to her.
I lost it. I could not stop crying. Ezri is a wonderful pet bunny. She is cute and sweet. But she was traumatized by being abused at a chain pet store. She has never completely gotten over this. She hates being pet and is very skittish, though she loves attention and is mad when I am not here. Seeing baby giant bunnies that wanted me to pet them, that licked me, that nuzzled me made my heart break as I realized everything that my old rabbit was and my current rabbit is not. I want another pet, a dog or another bunny or both, but we can't afford it right now financially or time wise. I love Ezri, but I miss having a pet that cuddles with me. I miss my playful cuddle bunny, and how my 2 bunnies used to get along. The last time we tried to bring in another rabbit, they tried to kill each other. I can't be rushing babies to the vet ER because they try to kill each other. I wish Ezri would be more cuddly, but it's not in her nature. I wish she would get along with others so where she is lacking I can have another that will that void. I wish Padfoot was still with us.
The bunnies together:
So I cried. And Steven was choked up seeing our baby's relatives living on and knowing there is nothing we can do about it. I could never replace Padfoot, but I miss the cuddling and I wish Ezri was more like that. Have you ever had an emotional connection with an animal? Do you have any suggestions for making my current rabbit more loving?
