Do you ever want a break from your furries?

I do sometimes feel like that when I open the door and they've strewn hay everywhere and there is loads of cleaning to do (and they've chewed a hole in my duvet cover... MINI!! :evil:) but most of the time I don't. When I do go away I miss them terribly, especially my lops as I wake up with them and go to sleep with them.
 
Funnily enough you are the first person to think of that :? ;) :lol: :lol:

:roll: That's me - queen of the corny jokes!!!! :lol:

You're so dedicated - feel a bit guilty talking to you about wanting a break from the furries. I love them to bits and am thankful they're fit and healthy and pooing!! Would be worse if they weren't pooing!!!:D
 
The idea of a break away from pets somtimes seems so appealing, especially if they have been poorly and i feel so stressed i wish i had never got them:shock:
But this year i managed two weekends away and i missed and fretted about them so much, i was on the phone every day to pet sitters! it is less stressful not to leave them and to know they are being looked after my way:? Not fair on my Hubby though, never to have holiday.:(
So the answer is.... yes i would love a holiday but only if i didnt have any pets to leave:?
 
Never in a million years, i feel like crying just thinking about them not being near me :? xxxxxxxx

If mine were fit and healthy and pooing I would definitely be taking a break :D :D

Its because they are sick that I don't want to leave them, even though we would love a break
 
I didn't go to Center Parcs this week, that's the first time in over 10years, all because I didn't want to leave them. Last year Tinker :love: was still here and I took his hutch to my grandads. This year, that's not possible because Pebbles and Barnaby have an aviary-style enclosure.

My grandad has mobility problems so I wouldn't want him coming here and he wouldn't be able to step over the safety door. My mum would look after them but not as well as I do:oops:

However, just once I'd love to have a lay-in. I always go to them at 6.15am-ish, unless I've been awake half the night and have overslept :)

But I do go back to bed on Sundays after I've feed, watered, groomed, been ignored by them :lol:
 
I did want a break a couple of weeks ago.

I had to send my foster dog back because I couldn't cope, then my gerbil died and I had to have my mouse pts on the same day. I didn't want to do any feeding, cleaning out or even looking at the animals I had left - just felt like a bad owner all round. :cry:
 
Yes. I think it is a normal emotion when feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. I don't mean it but it certainly helps to feel that emotion and confront it at times. For example last night for 5 mins i'd had enough, both buns poorly, me poorly and heavily pregnant and the house is a mess from renovation. It helped me to say it out loud and feel it, even though I of course don't mean it and love my buns to bits. Whenever I feel this way it is always about something much more going on than just the rabbits.... cummulative effect.
 
The only time I ever feel that I can't cope with Louie or previous rabbits is when they are ill.
 
Only when i'm feeling a bit grumpy or ill and they decide they want to be mega naughty! I hate leaving them when we go away though, i feel so guilty and miss them like mad, i look forward to getting home from my holidays so i can see them again!
 
I read the thread title as "Do you ever want to break your furries?" :lol: :lol:

Nope. I don't want to be away from them. Maybe if they're ill and I'm really stressed/upset about it.
