I swear I am annoying honeybunny no end right no. So this is a public apology for the first. I'm sorry for continually bugging you about my decision making and discussing options. I should (and think I am going to?) take a step back and let myself take stock of things as they stand right now. I think it's easier/fairer that way.
Anyhow- I've let my anxiety completely fixate on Persephone's future husbun and overtake all my decision making. I'm letting myself stress out too much. It's stupid, frustrating for everyone involved, myself included. Decisions are hard to make, especially as I love the look of so many potential boys that Honeybunnies have right now. Part of me thinks it might be better to make a decision and stick with it - and the other part of me thinks that's not fair regarding the buns and honeybunny.
I'm not going to be passing by Honeybunnies (on the way home) until 31st July. I love the look of a certain young buck, but reserving him for a month is a long while. He could theoretically be in a home next week (which is better for him, of course) and then reserving him for a month is unfair on him, unfair on honeybunny and her charity (which needs space, not having a bun sitting there who's ready to be rehomed, but the reserver isn't quite ready yet.) I mean, I'm definitely going to rehome from them and my best friend asked if a "guaranteed new home" wouldn't be a good thing - of course it is - but it also means taking up space where rabbits that are in dire straits for a month when things could move quicker for him.
And then there's the babies: I fell hook, line and sinker for a certain one of Seaside's babies, but he turned out to be more likely to be a she. I've fielded the idea of adopting 2 of the babies for Persephone, but that is in some ways letting heart rule over head by a considerable distance. Plus, the babies are gorgeous and are probably going to be super adoptable when they are ready for homes. Plus, the timing means two trips to Derbyshire/Leicestershire (poss 3 if I had 2 babies) rather than just the one. Plus, whilst I'm more than capable of giving rabbits a good home, I have a lot already and 10 should really be my limit. Aaargh.
Really, what I think I need to do is just STOP for a while and let myself (and everyone else involved) BREATHE. The buns aren't going anywhere. I need to come back in 2 weeks time (after Sef's been spayed) and THEN take stock of the situation.
I THINK what I should really do now is stop, as I said. In 2 weeks time, re-contact honeybunny and discuss the bucks who are available there. And then, make a decision based on Persephone's (and future husbun's) best interest, not mine. I'm getting to know her personality very well now and making a match in that way would probably be better for everyone (and everybun) involved.
And I REALLY REALLY need to have words with heart and head.
Sorry, honeybunny. I must be the worst.
And sorry everyone else. Thanks for reading my anxiety-riddled post if you've got this far. I'm not even sure why I wrote it I needed to.
