So we are getting rabbits. All because I had a lapse in good judgement and mentioned to my daughter she could get fish. Fish became a turtle which I had to talk her out of because I do not want a Turtle. And as any mom knows whatever pet you get for your child ultimately becomes yours. So a rabbit the fish became. And two rabbits the fish became because apparently rabbits bond to each other and it makes them happy. I sure as sh¡t do not want one sad rabbit. So I'll probably get two pain in the rear rabbits. It didn't hit me until I had spent over $200 on rabbit things and was building the cage in my daughters room that this rabbit commitment is insane. Things were annoying enough with two dogs and one child, now I'm adding two rabbits because I didn't want to spend the $50 on a fish tank. Wtf?! Let this be a lesson. Spend the money on the fish, even if you have to exceed your credit limit, to avoid the more expensive pet your child will ask for once giving the idea some thought. I should have talked her back into the fish. This is completely my fault. Crap.
Oh well. We are getting two furry and warm little bunnies and it will be fine. I thought I wanted a rabbit anyway :) and I definitely needed more chores to fill my time :)
Seriously though I thought it would be nice for her to have these little friends since our dogs are too big for her to really enjoy. Hopefully the little bunny ears will be there for her when all the puberty hormones take over and she needs to vent her problems but hates my guts. I hope she can bond with them and can love them. That's the plan. In reality she might lose interest in 2 weeks :( but my intentions were good. And at least we are adopting from a shelter, mature rabbits. So somehow good is being done.
