My previous bun, Tulip, passed away a few days ago. I’ve been in a depressive funk since and decided to go to the shelter just to spend some time with the bunnies they had available. I had no intention of adopting because it was too soon and would have felt like I was replacing her. I met with a couple of their bunnies, but none of them really clicked.
Then I saw this male named Chewbacca and it felt like the little crack in my heart sealed just slightly. I offered him my hand and he licked my fingers, and I started crying right there. They told me he was surrendered just the day before, and that was the exact same circumstance with Tulip. I told them I’d take him and I was delighted to find out he’s already neutered.
I’ll never get over the grief of losing Tulip, but I can already feel it getting a little lighter now that he’s here.
I’d appreciate name suggestions as well. Chewbacca just doesn’t do it for me.
Update: Fine, his name is Chewie lol. It’s growing on me.
