Investing in a therapy pet was one of the biggest gambles that I had embarked on and had my rabbit of been a lottery ticket, I would have won big.
I don't even know where to start when it comes to talking about the benefits that Thor has bequest on me. I did a lot of research before making the final decision, knowing that I had to make sure that I could handle her properly, no matter how much I wanted her. The best advice I could ever give someone would me to adopt or take on a rabbit if they are looking for some form of self-therapy.
To make it simple, she puts a smile on my face, loves when I give her attention, gives me kisses and snuggles, as well as the never ending responsibility of looking after something that is more afraid of the world than I am. She is giving me the opportunity to treat her the way I want to treat people who deserve it, without the hurt that comes along with it (mind you, there are hurts such as her dying). Thor has helped me realize that I don't want to dote on one specific person because I am ready to settle down, but that I just need something or someone to rid the excess energy and affection I have because I have so much pent up inside me. This has happened, for reasons that only i can fathom, because in any relationship I have been in I have always been the one doing all the work with the other just cruising a long for the ride. My need to take care of and smother others comes from the fact that that is what I am used to, and it is taken the wrong way by others.
Having Thor has also relieved a lot of stress that I have from the simple fact that she is excited to see me when I get home (only because she gets to be fed) and I can take her to the park and watch her run around and have so much fun. A lot of the research that I did helps me understand her way of communication that has been figured out thus far by the bunny lovers of the world, which helps me stop doing things she dislikes and continue doing the things she loves. I honestly feel I have a pretty happy bunny and she makes me pretty happy too.
