i miss my bunny ): (vent)

[dre4myang3l]

ok this is a very long story, but I really need to vent this somewhere.

 

I used to live with my mum a few years ago, and her bunnies had a litter, and I took one of them in as my pet. 

I raised her from birth as a free roam bunny in my bedroom. she was litter trained, very affectionate, and very happy.

not long later I moved into a caravan with my bunny for a little while. then I was taken away and put to live with my dad.

after long deliberation he let me keep my bunny because I explained she was more of an emotional support pet for my ASD. 

I said she wouldn't be a problem and if she was, I'd fix it. and take all responsibility. I lived with my dad for 5 months. 

(keep in mind I barely know him really) and it was hell. he was extremely verbally abusive, emotionally abusive, and would 

gaslight me a lot too. I tried to stay and work things out, for my bunny and for my future, but I couldn't do it anymore.

 

then sometime in september I met my daddy, we got along straight away, and one day when I was hanging out with him; 

in the heat of the moment because I was so happy. I decided not to go home. and I didn't. at the time I didn't consider what

would've happened with my bunny, but you have to know, I loved her more than I loved myself. so I was going to make it work.

 

I went to my mums house the next day after ignoring my dad all night, then later that day  I went home to grab some things.

my dad tried to get me to stay and he got physical, and the police were called. My daddy was there the whole time when I had

to report things to the police. I had my bunny too.  then I went out with my daddy and stayed out. and now I live with him.

 

my mum kept my bunny but after a while said she couldn't do it anymore. and she was rehomed. 

It hasn't really sunk in until recently. and I miss her everyday. I had her for 2 years, she was my best friend. it feels like she's died.

When I was 12 I got 2 bunnies. They couldn't live inside cause the one would chew through everything so I put them in a Bunny Hooch. They would keep escaping and I couldn't stop them. Eventually I don't know what happened because one of my friends said he found a bunny and I said it was mine :/ ... Ultimately I think they either got stolen, they ran away to live in the woods or passed. Domesticated bunnies don't do well out in the wilds they are not frightened enough of people or other animals. Though there were little to no predators in that region of the USA. I don't imagine there was anything large enough to take down my bunnies. So possibly someone adopted them. 

 

Maybe your bunnies souls live on in new bunnies and you will adopt them again one day. If you loved them and treated them right, anything is possible. Unfortunately the life of pets is a tough one. It is very likely your bunnies were adopted by someone else and loved a lot though so it's not always bad! C:

The heart of this is that you are in a better environment now, and hopefully your bunny is in an equally good environment. Rabbits are often dumped out in the wild (where they likely quickly succumb) so it's actually a very ideal situation that your rabbit was re-homed.

 

As for yourself, look up local animal shelters and orgs. A lot don't take rabbits so you might be able to leave your name and contact info on the next off-chance someone tries to rehome and the animal org cam connect you. It's worth it to look up if fostering is a possibility as well if your unsure if you're able to commit to the rabbit's full 8+yrs lifespan. A new fluff doesn't replace your previous one, but it'll certainly help with your own needs.
