I feel awful when my boyfriend and I have to work and Odin is alone all day.
We both work full time and that is a lot of time that he is left completely by himself.
He always seems so bored and lonely when I get home, and I feel rather guilty about it.
Because of this I've been considering getting another rabbit to bond him to once he is neutered.
I would be going the adoption route this time because there are more than a few rabbits in Colorado who need homes.
But here is my only issue... my boyfriend. For whatever reason he is avidly against it and simply says we have enough pets (We have Odin, two rats, my cat and an old and grumpy little hamster.) I argue that I'm the one that cares for them, so why does it matter to him? I pay the vet bills, clean the cages, buy the food/toys/bedding.
And none of this bothers me in the least.
I would love for Odin to have a friend to spend his days with. How do I get my boyfriend to come around?
I mean, I gave him fair warning when we moved in together about my love for animals.
