After a long thought process, I decided it would be best, not for me, but for the sake of Walter, if I found him a new home. I just didn't seem to have that special connection with him, I don't know what it was but something made me resent him. As a result I found myself being angry at him all the time, and not spending anytime with him. My best friend Brandon took him home yesterday, and I'm feelling good about it. I miss him, but it's for the best, he deserved better, and my friend Brandon loves him. Walter now bears the name "Dicksplosion" a name that oddly seems to fit him better than my choice, haha. Also things with Cornflake and my rabbits seem to be calmer now, I don't know how to describe it. I procrastinated on finding him a new home because although I had this unexplainable resentment towards him I wanted to be sure he would be going to a home that would treat him well, and be good to him, but I couldn't have found a better home. Plus he lives really close, so I can go see him if I want. I feel good about my choice.
New home for Walter

I can understand the procrastination; I had a dog once which I really should have found another home for, but I kept procrastinating out of my sense of loyalty and concern for adequate care of the dog; I procrastinated 18 years and never did get him another home, but both of us would have been happier if he had been someone else's dog. He kept fighting with me, trying to be the lead dog in the pack. He would have been much happier with someone who had only one dog. If you found your animal a loving, healthy home, don't feel bad.
