Synergy to Bunn-ergy

        Bonding takes two valuable resources humans do not like to use: time and patience. Let's chat a bit about both. Time, although a quantifiable resource, is measured differently by bunnies or any other animal species for that matter, than it is by humans. Bunnies judge time more by seasons than by hours or days. To us, time passing each day that doesn't show vast improvements in a bond can be disappointing. The days turn into weeks and, although we remind ourselves to not judge bunny timeframes by our own, we become discouraged usually around the one month mark. Once we entertain thoughts of frustration and despair, t's a slippery slope to hopelessness. Bunnies sense our emotions based on the smells those hormones have. Unable to understand why we emit negativity, bunnies in bonding sessions may act disturbed, aggressive, introverted, and this can delay bonds. Realizing we are a huge contributing factor to negative bunn-ergy, we reach into the depths of our souls and conjure up patience. Patience, a long holding out of our desires for a greater goal, is a resource most humans do not have vast amounts of. The good news is patience is like a plant seed. Once planted in fertile soil, it can be grown with the right care. So, when you feel anxiety over the length of time bonding takes, remember to grab deep into your patience reserves and sprinkle in positive thoughts, give your self a well-deserved pep talk, add a bit of hope and remind yourself the end goal will be worth it all! Synergy is a combined effort on the part of two or more beings to produce a joint effect greater than the separate parts. During bonding, you are combining bunnies to each other as well as you to the bunnies with the goal of becoming one heap of love.
