Pip&Milo
Warren Scout
So I posted yesterday about molly and milo fighting. We've tried to help them get on but she's behaving very aggressively with him. The rescue has offered to attempt to bond them again and we are calling Tuesday to see if there's a space. In the meantime they're in the same room separated by a puppy pen. We swap them around every few hours. But then When my oh got home he says he thinks we should give up and wait for an easier bond, and give molly back to the rescue. Don't get me wrong the very thought of this makes me feel sick with guilt and sadness and I cry everytime I think about it. But he has some good points.
1. This is horrid for Milo he's desperate to be her friend grooming g her through the bars but she just bites him. As our initial pet he feels it's our responsibility to put him first.
2. My mental health is seriously suffering and yday after all the drama I couldn't even face being out of bed I just lay crying all evening.
3. Luckily we were there when the fight broke out but we both work so next time we might not be so lucky...and neither could milo. Her bite hurt me never mind him.
4. She seems so much happier when separated from milo she plays and eats and flops which she rarely does when he is there.
5. Were not around enough to attempt slow bonding effectively
My reservations...
1.i made a commitment so she's as much my responsibility as milo
2. I can't bare the thought of her being stuck at a rescue forever.
3. What if milo pines for her
4. I love her
I genuinely don't know what to do. Any advice without the judgement of how awful I am for even considering giving her up would be appreciated
