I wish i wasn't thinking this, but i have been for a while, and perhaps its time to ask opinions of the RU Gang.
I'm thinking of bonding another bun into B&G's bond.
This is NOT me wanting another bun.
I'm thinking for Biscuit.
I've got to think of everything and it hurts like hell.
When Ginger goes (whenever that may be, it could be tomorrow, it could be 4 years for all i know - she's been given 9-12 months, but is a fighter and surprises everyone) Biscuit's going to be lonely. I know this is a fact, and i know i need to do whats best for him.
So, knowing what i do, this is what i ahve right now;
Biscuit: dominant as far as most things are concerned, but placid, very friendly, hates being held, but very friendly all the same. Very food oriented.
Ginger: dominant as far as territory is concerned, very human friendly. Asks for cuddles, loves to be held. Also very food oriented.
Both were a VERY easy bond.
If they were to be bonded with another bun, and it all went **** up, i genuinely couldnt keep 3 single buns, but im confident that i could re-bond B&G ?).
So i guess i have questions
Would a rescue take back a bun that wouldnt bond if it happened?
I'd think of taking a bun on that was possibly a problematic health bun, but not one with massive hugely expensive issues, i could handle RTI issues, i have basic experience of it.
I've even looked at a possible bun, but im all stumped.
I dont know if i should do it. B&G have such a bond, im frightened to break it. Biscuit will NOT be good on his own again, and i dont know if Ginger would do very well on her own at all.
Also, stress could make her issues even worse.
I dont even know what im asking.
I just want someone to tell me what to do, but nobody can
