Hey all, I'm looking for a grocery that sells haloumi cheese. Figure it'll be an ethnic grocery, I'm open to whatever but I'm absolutely dying to have some of this soon. Thank you!
One of my better thrift days in a long time. One is a small fry which I know is a little older, but how do I tell which Pawlette she is? She's pretty well loved but I don't think that's why her fur feels different. I think she might be the older kind? I really love her though and hope to restore her.
idk if Im tripping but I feel like this looks super big and my tats are disproportionate now. Please offer up your thoughts
I'll briefly mention that my boy was widowed this spring very unexpectedly, but this post isn't exactly about that.
​
I gave us about a month and a half after before approaching a few rescues (adulting took a lot of priority as well as grief). I took in a girl ~2-3, my boy is about 5.5 now. She's bigger than him.
​
I tried. I tried very hard, paid a lot of money to a bonder to advise, did my own research too, etc. I finally had to call it at the beginning of June after a couple of bad sessions and him breaking into her pen leading to a very brief but very fur laden fight. Luckily I couldn't find any harsh injuries (my boy has several bald spots tho...). He did get hurt once pretty good near the beginning but no bleeding or seeming permanent damage at least.
​
I feel really guilty returning her to the rescue. One on one, she is a fantastic rabbit. Very curious, loves to be at your feet after she zooms, etc. Just not a match. Personally think she should remain a single rabbit as she is very territorial. She deserves all the good things, and I love her. But I cannot keep her, the space is too small for having too permanently unbonded rabbits.
​
But the guilt. Man, the guilt I feel. I'm currently keeping her until they have a foster for her, though part of me wants that to be very soon so my heartache can fade a bit.
​
I plan on trying again later but not right away. For one, it will be nice to have that space back for a bit. But otoh, my boy will miss having her around even in a pen.
​
How have any of y'all coped with this sort of situation? The guilt and the process of finding a new bond mate?
​
There's a small chance my boy might make a go of it alone with me, but there's a ton of signs he'd be even happier with a friend. He has gotten so much closer to me since we lost our girl, which is nice, but I do worry.
​
There are two rescues nearish me, but at least an hour in each direction. Unfortunately one of them mostly has girls who look like my late girl, and I don't know if I can cope with that yet.
​
I'm also having trouble figuring out what to aim for this next time with finding him a friend. I'd love some bunny close to his age and a female, fixed, and preferably no history of stasis or teeth issues (dealt with so much stasis before). I'm fine with most other things - blindness, deafness, etc. Preferably short hair because long hair is so difficult at times. But my boy is a chaos gremlin even at 5.5, lol, tho technically my girl was the boss 90% of the time. She was smaller and gentle, didn't get into much trouble.
​
Anyway, I don't know. Thanks for listening to the ramble. It's so difficult sometimes. Anyone have advice or stories?
Just wanted to share since most people I know don't like spiders but I've had some nice luck lately.
I immediately knew what she was (copperhead) and stayed at least five feet away. She wasn't aggressive, I wasn't aggressive. But I really hope she stays away and none of her boyfriends come around (I have a video of just her tail, my mum identified her as a her). She eventually headed back down towards the creek (my place backs to woods that immediately go to a ravine sort of thing with a creek).
East/Middle Tennessee. She was about 2 feet long I think? Hoping my local rat snakes (I have at least one or two I see semi frequently) keep them away. I've been at this place over a decade and never seen one on property before.
Still as unwelcome as she was, it was very cool to see her.
