The whole thing with Elvis is to much.

Ali,

I've been thinking about this...and I hope this doesn't come across as condescending as it feels like its gonna sound...

When I think about the rabbits you've acquired (and the guinea pigs) - sometimes it feels like they "dropped into your lap". You didn't go looking for them...but suddenly they were presented before you - and your home was ready for them. I remember even before Apple when you were like, "No more"...yet when she became available - you knew she was meant for your family.

Perhaps with Elvis - you should stop looking and just say to God (or "the fates")..."Whatever you want....we're ready when you're ready to drop Elvis' mate in our laps.." and then wait.

I've been doing a lot of reading lately by people who are successful in their fields, etc. (and by motivational speakers) and it seems like - when people are willing to say, "I'm ready for an opportunity" and even sometimes write down what they're looking for ("a mate for Elvis") - its strange how it will suddenly drop into their life...almost as if the universe was waiting for that person to be ready.

I don't know if I'm saying it right. I do believe Elvis' future mate is out there....somewhere. Maybe though he/she is not yet ready for your family.

Just a thought...

I couldn't agree more. Only two of our bunnies did we go looking for. Ringo and Dallas. Neither one turned out how we planned.

There is Alot of changes we have planned for our home and our lives. As I was telling Peg we want to foster again! We are ready! It was painful having Halo come back only for him to be PTS. It broke something inside me. I can't explain it. I lost my faith in people like I never had before. I was angry and confused. One thing is that Elvis will have a shot with everyone who comes here!

I am happy about what we will be under taking. It's a new start for all of us in this house.

That's so great that you're going to foster again!

It's something I really admire. I would dearly love to do it but I'm really not sure I could cope with saying goodbye, I get attached far too easily. I think it's a very selfless thing to do....

Happy New Year to you and all the buns! :D

I would share all the changes but some of them are personal to me and my husband so I won't.

One is that we will be fostering again. We miss it! We honestly love doing it. We get to help bunnies and experience a wide range of breeds, personalities and of course love. We love everyone of our fosters. They are never forgoton that is why they have there own page on my site! Zoo Crew Fosters! I just sent an email off to my last fosters new mom. Hopefully I hear back.

Another is we our not going to force Elvis to find a friend if it happens it happens.






 
:hello :wave:

I'm just subscribing to your new blog, to make sure I don't miss out on any Dallas-y goodness lol! :p

I'm so happy for you fostering again. I know you will make an amazing difference to the lives of the little bunners in your care :hug:
 
So I thought I would mention one thing we are doing is not a yearly resolution but a monthly one.

I will be writting an intro for each animal.
 
How wonderful that you will be fostering! There are so many bunnies out there who I am sure would love to have a temporary home with you and the opportunity to heal from past poor experiences!

We have never fostered, but I did volunteer to with our local House Rabbit Society chapter. We never heard anything back. Since then I saw a video of some of the larger set-ups that people have made for multiple fostering situations and felt rather inferior that we couldn't offer anything quite so fancy.

Who will you get your foster bunnies from? How long do you find that you usually keep them before they are ready and able to go to a new home and an appropriate new home opens up? How do you balance them with your other bunnies? Do you find that it is pretty easy to integrate them or that sometimes you have to keep them separate? Do all your current bunnies get along, or do you keep them in a couple of separate groupings?

Thanks. We love everyone of our fosters. It hurts when they go but great to know they are with their families.

Honestly I don't give my fosters as much. I give them them the needed and lots of love. I don't give them hours on end out time, or extra treats or to much of anything. I don't know what their next home will be like so don't want them to want to much.

I get them from 3Bunnies. I volunteer with them since 06-07. My fosters range from 2weeks to 6mnths. Depends the needs of the bunnies. I tend to get bunnies who have social or medical help. Ummm I don't know I just do it. I don't think. Just do. Umm fosters are not allowed in the bedroom. If they go in there we wont let them go. I have a trio and the rest are singles. I will be posting set up pic soon.
