Turning over a new leaf...

[maherwoman]

Thank you, Jan.

So, I got a reply to my email saying that she needs time to think about all this, thanking me for clarifying about what happened, and that she'll get back to me.

So...fingers and paws crossed that in thinking about things, she realizes that I'm not a mean person, wouldn't think what she thought I did about her, and things get handled.

I've been having such a hard day...crying on and off because I really have fallen for Tucker and was so excited to have such a special bunny be part of our lives. I really hope this works out after all...

I'm glad you were able to contact her - I was afraid she might have blocked your email so that you couldn't explain, etc.

I'll be watching your blog for updates.

Aww Rosie I hope everything turns out alright and she lets you adopt Tucker. I will be praying for you. ((((Rosie))))

 

[maherwoman]

Thank you so much, you guys...I'm keeping hope alive by building his cage, lol.

AHHH Rosie I hope everything gets sorted out and Tucker comes home to you.

I realized something important tonight, as I've been unable to sleep and am waiting for Advil to kick in for some seriously achy joints...so I thought I should share...

I realized that whether this thing works out with Tucker or not, we will be okay and things will work out somehow.

I realized that one of the huge things that made me want to jump at the chance to adopt Tucker was the fact that I've wanted a lionhead buck for so long now, and had so many opportunities to do so fall through...so finally holding one, and having the chance to take him home really hit my heart.

I also realized that I don't want to adopt a bunny in a situation like this, so if this woman comes to me and says yes to my adopting him, I'm going to ask for some time and that she and I really fix things between us somehow. It just feels wrong to adopt a bun from someone this way...not to mention, I will be seeing her around, and relations really need to be better than this between us.

Another thing: We were making some financial sacrifices to adopt him in the time period she'd asked...and I just don't think we should do that at this point. We have other things we really need to spend that money on right now. So if she comes to me and says she's changed her mind, are we still interested in adopting him...I'm going to have to say, "Sure...but it'll be at least a couple weeks before we can...maybe a month."

And, in the end, if she doesn't decide to adopt him out to us...I realized that he's not the only lionhead out there. Yes, I've wanted my lionhead buck for quite a while now...but if this doesn't work out, I have to really prepare my heart and be able to move on from this...and doing so entails knowing I can get another lionhead buck elsewhere. There are quite a few places around here I can get one, including from that mutual friend of ours (who I know is a responsible breeder).

BUT...that would be some time from now. I want to be sure we have everything settled the way it should be. I want to have Teddy and Cinnamon altered (because going that route would be adding a bun that's not altered...and I just don't want to go down that path again). I want our finances to be more solid.

Adopting Tucker would've been different, given that he was neutered, litterbox trained fully, etc. But an unaltered young buck...that's different, and we'd have to be prepared.

So, there ya go...I have rounded the bend in this whole thing...and I think me and my family have made some tough, but wise choices in the past few days.

Onwards and upwards!!!

Very smart move.

 

[maherwoman]

Still trying...to be patient...not knowing if we'll adopt Tucker.

It's hard to plan things when you don't know what you're doing!!!

Patience....must have patience...UGH!!

I wanted to be sure to put something here, because I received a bit of a heated message from someone that had misunderstood what I wrote about my mutual friend writing Tucker's human, and since more than one person might have gotten the wrong impression, I owe it to my good friend to explain.

I don't blame my friend for what happened, and am not mad at them for trying to help. They saw a need, and tried to fill it, and there's nothing wrong with that. Yes, I was upset about this adoption falling through...but NOT WITH MY FRIEND. I've written my friend something so they know this...and hopefully they don't think I'm upset with them...

My friend did what friends do...they see someone's upset, and they try to help. And there was nothing wrong with that.

Tucker's human could have, and should have, given me the opportunity to explain things. Tucker's human simply misread what my friend wrote to her. My friend had noble intentions, and while it backfired, they have NO FAULT in what happened. It's not their fault that it backfired.

So...to you, dear friend, if you're reading this...please don't feel that you're to blame, or that I'm upset with you...there are absolutely NO negative feelings toward you. You were completely innocent in this.

:hugsquish:

(I am also sending this to my friend, so they can see it, given that I still don't receive email notifications, so they might not see it.)

As far as the person who wrote me the heated note: doesn't bother me. I can understand how my post might have portrayed as such.

I just checked the Edmonton Humane Society website, and Easter the Holland Lop that you want to adoptis gone.

Here is a picture I took of her yesterday.

 

[CKGS]

Wowee! What a cutie that little Easter is!

((((Rosie))))

Two Step, the flemish mix is gone too. :thud: It must of been a good day at the shelter, and I wasn't there.

Canada wasn't on the websitelast night. Hopefully he was adopted.

This is the latest picture of himwhen I saw himlast Tuesday.

I'd love to see pictures of your babies.

Hi Rosie!

I've been gone such a looong time that I am -completely- out of the loop with everyone I knew, so I found this blog and read through the entire thing. :hug:

It's amazing everything that's happened with you since I last saw! :shock: Canada, huh? Wow! I've been over the boarder a couple times, and I gotta say it's beautiful country :hearts: Glad to hear you're liking it there.

Sorry to hear about the grumpy chef :grumpy: Sounds like a real nasty guy! I've never met someone so misogynistic as you describe :shock:

Hope you and your family find somewhere nice soon and the means with which to do so How are the buns? I miss hearing about them.
