Old Man Biscuit

Nothing official, but I think I'm going to take Baxter in as a permanent resident. We've been though a lot together, and I just don't feel comfortable giving him away at this point. Not that I am the only person capable of caring for him, but I just worry about taking him out of his comfort zone at this stage in his life. Plus, I have a new rabbitarium set up now for more fosters.

This will put a dent in my ability to go camping in the summer I realize. It's important for me to get some camping in every summer, as I am no help to anyone or anything if I don't. But I am willing to cut down on the frequency of my camping (which I already did this year, by a large amount). It also means I will have to consider hiring a pet sitter from now on, which to be honest is something I should have done a long time ago anyway. Previously, I boarded my elderly cat Biscuit at the vet (he needs daily meds) and had my neighbor check in on Pee-Wee and Carl, my other cats. I always made sure I was not fostering rabbits when camping. Anyway, I will be very frank here; I respect my neighbor a lot but I never ever felt 100% comfortable with her taking care of Pee-Wee and Carl, let alone her being in my house when I am not there. I would prefer to hire someone and even better, someone bonded.

Anyway, I've been spending a LOT of time thinking about this, and will continue to do so over the next 3 or 4 days.

Bentley is 'back' at the Ranch, or his ashes are anyway. Bittersweet for sure. But now he and Baxter are together again in a way, and will be for good. While certainly not the reason I adopted Baxter, having both of their ashes when Baxter passes away someday was a contributing factor in making my decision.

(history: Bentley and Baxter were brothers that came to me in September from a terrible living situation. Sadly, Bentley passed away on October 15th from lymphoma.)

Always reblog MCA. RIP.

Wensleydale and Camembert have each gained over a pound of weight now in the 8 days they have been here. Wensleydale gained a full 1.2lbs (he was in the most danger). I feel they are both in their ideal weight range now. So, success with these two fosters.
