She made charts. She watched videos. She promised to clean the cage every day.

That lasted about eleven minutes.

Now I feed it, clean it and keep it from chewing cords. The rabbit is cute, but the smell is not cute and neither is finding hay in my bra somehow.

My daughter loves him in theory. In practice she remembers he exists when friends come over.

I found a good home with someone who already has rabbits and knows what they are doing.

My husband says rehoming him would teach her that commitments do not matter.

I think keeping an animal nobody properly cares for teaches something worse.

I do not hurt him. I feed him, walk him, take him to the vet, buy the expensive food because his stomach is apparently made of Victorian lace.

But he barks at everything, steals food, pees when excited and has eaten three remote controls.

Everybody begged for this dog. Everybody promised to help. Guess who is outside at 6 a.m. in pajamas while the dog investigates one blade of grass for fifteen minutes.

The kids adore him. My husband calls him his buddy. I call him nothing because what comes to mind is not nice.

Am I a monster, or can you be responsible for a pet and still not actually enjoy them?

I get dishes, unanswered texts, and somebody asking where their charger is while I am brushing my teeth.

Last night I realized I was tucking the dog in while standing in a laundry basket because there was no clear floor space in my bedroom.

He sighed contentedly. I respected it, but I also resented it.

Does anyone else provide better care to the pet than to themselves?
