Re: fostering **update page 11**
Things never seem to move at a pace I want to try to control in my life. This latest event will have many of you, rest assured me being very much included, raising your eyebrows and scratching your head. That’s how I feel right now.
So, this is all happening with the right intentions but for me, very much at the wrong time. But this is also very much not about me - it’s about flo.
Our friend at the rescue centre is going to bring round a bunny for us to ‘foster’. He comes with 2 story hutch and run. That’s as much of the plan as I know, you know.
As much as I’m happy to foster this bun with a longer term view, it presents massive issues for me/us and pretty much pushes my already strained stress levels go beyond where I’m comfortable. But I also have to look at a wider picture for this.
This is helping an otherwise abandoned rabbit have a home and garden to be happy in, and also a companion for Flo who is hurting. The problem it causes for me is huge because I know how extremely territorial Flo is after last years attempt. We have no neutral area at in our home or garden nor can we create one. I have contacted local bonders who are all fully booked due to holiday commitments and the earliest we could get a space is September/October.
I’ve no idea how this will work - I do know that Flo will be very unsettled and agitated and I am very very very worried. Stressed and worried.
There’s a part of me now, right now just wants to curl up in a ball and close my eyes and never open them again.
But I also know we have to move forward for Flo otherwise it will just get harder and harder on Flo and that’s not fair either. And the rescue centre have no capacity at the moment to facilitate a bond - they are over full with rabbits, pregnant rabbits etc. So I am helping them in this capacity but it’s going to take a toll on me and I’m very anxious.
I’ll update when I have any more info.
