So sad, I noticed you have only liked the comments that are for your decision on Luna. Please don’t feel as if people are trying to be mean. Perhaps some are just seeing things from a different view. Luna is a big part of your life & your channel. I along with so many look forward to not only seeing you but Luna also. Just perhaps think on it prior to jumping into something that later you might regret 🙏🏻🐰
I understand the situation you are in but Lunas not a young bunny. I could not give Luna up for anyone. I've been raised to look after my pets from day one until the day they are no longer here, but everyone is different....
Don't give up luna for a man you have been hurt before luna loves you you will regret it 32 or 35 isn't old to travel the world is not safe at the moment Xx
I think it’s really important that people consider the life span of a pet and what your life is going to look like during their lifetime. Peoples lives always change. But I can’t imagine any change in my life where my pets would not fit into it. You don’t owe anyone an explanation as to what you do in your personal life. And frankly my opinion or anyone else’s doesn’t matter. But I do wish you’d have stressed to people in this video how much of a commitment owning a pet is and the importance of really thinking that through beforehand. I’ve traveled but I’ve also turned down traveling and other things because of my pets. They are worth the commitment IMO.
Well just take Luna with you. You said she can live only 5 more years, You never know. It is better to take her with you even if she won't be ok, but you will be happy to have her with you. But if you leave her with some one else, maybe she will miss you, and die. She loves you girl, don't let her behind. While you travel, she can stay with some one, but if you move definitely , I think is better to take her with you, that is my humble opinion!
What about a house sitter for when you go away? Lots of ppl do that ....I've sat dogs, sheep etc and it's it's usually a great win win for the homeowner and the sitter.
I’m a pet sitter. I stay with the pet in its home, sometimes 2-3 weeks at a time. Interview some sitters and get references from them. At least give it a try! Heck, I’d cross the pond to sit for Luna! Xo
Pets are for life. There is nothing on earth that is more important than the commitment I made to my furry friends and that includes being able to travel whenever I would like.
Thats not correct or reasonable. The commitment we make to our animals is that we will do all we can to give them a stable and loving home and that includes recognising when you are no longer able to give your pet the best life. There are many reasonable reasons to re-home an animal. Elise has explained that Luna doesn't like to travel in her pet carrier and that she doesn't like to be moved about. With Elise being so busy now she is not at home all the time like she was before opening the shop and buying her garden and she can't take Luna to those places either without upsetting her. This also means dropping her pet sitters won't work. So this is not just about travel, even Elise's day to day life has changed so much to the point she can't spend much time Luna. Loving our animals means also realising you can no longer provide her the best home and making sure she gets what she needs from her home.
Since the decision to let go Luna was made public I don't feel bad commenting that pets are not disposable. They are a lifelong commitment and it's the tutor's responsability to make sure they are safe and loved for as long as they live. Single people should not get pets as placeholders for a partner and dispose of them once that partner is found. I hope Luna finds a better tutor and a loving home.
That is not what she is doing. If people actually listened to what she was saying maybe they would get it. The main reason is that Luna is home alone most of the time now that Elise's life is so much busier. The desire to travel is not the main reason, more like the last straw. Being a responsible pet owner means being able to recognise when you are no longer in a position to give your pet its best life. Good for her for putting the desire to see Luna getting the best life she can first, because I promise you Elise has made this decision because she loves Luna.
@@tamber6837 What a load of rubbish! People have to work to survive and unfortunately sometimes as our lives change over time we are no longer the best carer for our pets. This is especially true with young people whose lives change enormously over a 5 years. It is the sign of a responsible and loving owner to recognise they are no longer in a position to give their animals the best home and find the right person to do that for the animal. If she was dumping Luna it would be a different story but she is going to carefully select the right home for her and make sure Luna is safe and loved, so people need to stop being so critical.
Life is about expansion. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. I won't give up my dog or cat for him. He is a part of my life. That's the best way to be open to expansion. So I told my boyfriend my little animal family stays with me.
@@mogatronkel it’s all just an act on the camera. I really like her before and when she cries i feel for her but not this time. I can see through it, that its all just an act so her subscribers will agree with her abandoning luna. I hope nobody does that to you Elise.
Our animals are with us through thick and thin and I know you are torn and your life has moved fast especially in the last 6 months but give some of the suggestions a try about maybe taking her with you to some, not all, locations before you do that very painful thing of re-homing. Maybe see where the relationship goes also. I have never kept a bunny but have 6 other pets and they adapted so much faster than I gave them credit for.
Sweetheart you don’t owe anyone any explanation about your choice. I know this is hard but Luna will be fine. I am 60 years old and I regret I didn’t get to travel when I was younger, I always say I do not regret the things I’ve done just those I did not do. Follow your dreams and know it’s for the best. Pets do adjust. And I am happy for you.
Totally agree, regarding travels when younger, etc., and I thought I was the only older person watching this special young lady. Wishing her well on her travels.
Life is so short. Sure you will find a good time for Luna. I am 82 years old and look back and wish I had traveled more before I married and had family. Glad thou have found someone you can share your life with. Be happy and enjoy every moment. Wish you the best. Take care and be safe.
I have no idea why you cant have a bunny sitter take care of her at your house. Maybe Marcella or Sophie watch her while you are gone. She would still be in her home. Unless you are closing down your business and moving apartment. I could not give my furbaby away for a guy,probably because they arent for sure either. But you can have both. Im glad you found someone. But you are also Luna's someone.
@@TLhky98 There were so many animals adopted during covid. And now places are overrun because they were returned after lockdowns and people went to work. I have to travel every xmas .But i take my dog with me and my cats had a sitter. My apartment is small but i would make sure there were a few treats and my xmas tree was up just to make it more cozy for the sitter when they dropped by. 2 times a day to feed,water,do litter and a little playtime and scratches. Thats it. 5 days and they knew i couldnt afford alot but 80.00 was fine for gas and whatever else they wanted to use it for. They lived super close by. Always the same person. And she also has her family. I think the decision is a little rash. New chapters are good. But Luna is family.
@jetta.silence I passed up teaching in Japan, because I wasn’t about to justify bad behavior/leaving my pets and I absolutely don’t regret it. As a matter of fact, I took another animal in that a former friend decided to dump, because he wanted to travel. That’s why he’s a former friend. I’m glad there are nice people like you left. :)
Sounds a bit odd. Maybe I just got it wrong, but from the way you are talking about traveling it sounds you’ll never be home again. So much that you’ll give your bunny away. But then you’re painting your rental kitchen in the video after ? Idk it’s just random. Are you giving up the physical shop since you’ll be traveling so much?
I have a rescue dog and met with her first owner a month ago. She gave her up because she felt she deserved a better life. I am so so thankful that she did that. Our Bella is the light of our lives and gets 100x more attention. You know what’s right.
I too like to travel and when I do I hire a pet sitter. My animals love her and I never worry when I am gone. These next few years coming up...traveling will become very difficult as I have already experienced. Good Luck to you. Not going to lie...I am sad about Luna.
Throw away society I find the world such a harsh place 😢 hold your dearest a little closer for those who are discarded and for those who take in the discarded.
She was 18 years old Her people, who she loved all her life, took her, vaccination booklet, leash, collar and her belongings and took her to the Baldwin Park shelter. They said they were tired of fighting an older dog, signing papers and leaving without even looking at her. When she was raised by a volunteer at the shelter, she leaned on him probably wishing it was all just a bad dream. That moment was perpetuated by photographer John Hwang who was in the shelter at that time. Unfortunately, animals love loyal, with all their hearts, with all their souls and are unable to understand that human 'love forever' usually has expiration date. - until the annual, to moving, to the disease, to the age... Animals deserve better people. Eyes of an Angel team
I guess there will be no advent calendar for Luna this year 😔 I know you haven't been enjoying your apartment, and neighbours noise lately, at least you will no longer have the responsibility of having to stay there for Luna. At least you can now stay at your boyfriend's house. Ive travelled for business and pleasure, but I could never give up on a pet, for this reason. I loved travelling but more importantly, I loved coming home to my pets, that was much more fulfilling to me.
This is really sad, I hate to see when people get rid of an animal just because it doesn't suit their life anymore. Especially when this is the only life this animal has ever known.
I wondering if Sophie could look after Luna in the 14 days you will be abroad. As you said "Luna likes to be home", in your home. Maybe someone from your family could give a look at your cabin. Don't blow up what you love and constructed. You did very well maintaining your privacy. Congratulations and good luck in your new chapter, love & travel experience :)
I unfortunately had to unsubscribe (which is a personal decision I’m free to make just like we all are) because for me a pet is super important but I’m not going to bash her or the decision she made. I couldn’t part with my pet but I also don’t live her life and only she knows how she’ll handle the situation. Hopefully Luna finds a wonderful home to live out her golden years
So you think someone should put aside their dreams because she has to stay home and take care of a bunny? I find this so ridiculous. I am sure that if Luna could travel happily she would take the bunny with her, but Elise knows this would be traumatic for her, so she is trying to do what is best for her.
Just remember, you're still in the honeymoon phase with this person. No matter how starry-eyed or in love you feel, no matter what promises you both make, no matter what he says, things can go south extremely quickly and it all comes to an abrupt end. People aren't always what they seem. You need to know them for years and years and years to really see through what they portray themselves to be.
I am very well aware, but my god feeling is that we're a very strong match :) And if gives me the chance to finally travel and explore more, I'll gladly take the chance and see where life takes me. I can't sit at home and protect myself in feat of what might hurt me in the future, I'd pass on what could be pretty damn amazing.
@@shaistaali9802 I agree with you but Luna doesn't have an optimal life at all stuck alone all day in a corner with no visual or mental stimulation. She should be around calm activity, have a window to look out and another bunny. She deserves a much better life
@@toneluy8343 you don’t know that. Elise fooled me that she loves Luna so much but you don’t know people specially on camera. You wouldn’t know if the next owner will do the same as Elise is doing right now, giving her away if Luna is not convenient anymore.
Hi Elise I have pet chickens and cats and when I go travelling , usually to Thailand and Vietnam for a month, my parents looks after my animals for me, I am sure you will find a solution, I am a lonely child so I don’t even have a siblings to ask. I am sure some family members will look after her long term for you. 😊
You will be ok… don’t feel guilt. There is someone out there needs Luna. And you need to have happiness. Life is short. I’m 64, don’t be like me and say I wish I did. Be glad for each day and live life to your fullest. You will be fine, I’m very very happy for you. ❤️
I went backpacking in Australia and met a lot of fellow travelers, including a woman in her 60s. She was having a great time traveling on her own. So no limits despite any age. I plan on traveling well into my 80s, so long as I am healthy.
Dear there's nothing to do in Paris for 2 weeks in winter, so maybe you don't have to get rid of Luna for now Anyway happy for you to start a new chapter
Imagine if you give Luna away and then end up not travelling that much/living abroad at all. It's one thing to find another family for her once you've already been travelling a lot and then you realize that there is no way you can keep her and it's completely another thing to do it just because you THINK it's going to be difficult. I'm only saying this because once it's done and you've given her away, if things don't work out the way you have them set up in your mind, the regret will consume you.
I think there’s nothing wrong with finding a new home for Luna. It’s more responsible of you to find her a good new place than to keep her and not be able to spend enough time with her. I’m happy for you that you’ve found someone who shares your interests and wants to travel with you. Please don’t feel bad. I think you’re a beautiful person, inside and out. You’re just entering a new phase of life and the changes can be hard.
I'm sixty years old, I have two adult sons your age, you are a very well rounded young lady, you put everything important in its right place, you love your bunny and when you find her a new home your taking care of her. Your doing the correct things in your life ,I know you will have a beautiful future because your a great person, be happy kiddo ,you deserve it. And all us that follow you wish you the best in everything, we hope you still will be able to share your adventures with us. And bunny is going on to her new adventures. Be Happy kiddo. Just be Happy you deserve it. God bless you ,hope you share some adventures with us ,only when you can. What's important is you and your partner ,taking care of each other. You have a good head on your shoulders. Love your shows.🥰
You want to give her up after she has been with you all these years for a guy you have only known for a few months? Get to know him for at least a year before permanently giving her up ❤️
i thought she said she has known him for a while but they’ve been official for a few months? Either way I agree she seems to view her rabbit as a "thing", like a car u can ditch, instead of a permanent family member.
Oh honey! Just because you have a UA-cam channel does not mean that you have to reveal every aspect of your personal life. No one does that! Congratulations on having found a man who cherishes you and wants to spend time with you. It will be SO exciting for two young lovers to be in the City of Light at the beginning of the new year. How romantic. I wish you much success in your personal and professional life! As far as Luna, you've treated her well. She will be just fine in a new loving home.
Sometimes you can be too open ,too honest.,too kind.,too forgiving....and generally..just too decent a person-often some individuals can't cope with meeting a 'nice' person. Your warmth and personality shines through your videos. Do NOT let these possibly jealous people deter you from being you-You have done nothing wrong at all xx 🤗
I know that the decision to let her go was so hard for you, but you are doing the right thing for her. Make sure wherever she goes that you can visit her from time to time. She will remember you. I could never hate you. You are a marvelous young woman, and I am so proud of the progress you have made in your short, sweet life.
I’m sorry to see you that sad… i wouldn’t give Luna just for a 2 weeks trip, you love her ! I was petsitting my sister’s bunny and my home became his second safe place. I’m sure one of your friends or a professional petsitter could do that for you during your first trips at least!
Do you have a friend or family member that could take care of Luna during your travels? Maybe for the first trip you may want to consider trying that, since it wouldn't be a permanent decision. I suggest that because I can see how much it pains you. Whatever you decide, you should do what is best for you. Luna will be happy as long as she is surrounded by love.
Sooo happy you found someone to spend your life with. He must be a wonderful guy, l wish you all the happiness in the world. Maybe someone could keep Luna while ya'll go to Paris, who knows. We know how much you love her. Take care & just be happy. Hi from Texas.🌻🌻🙋🙋🌼🌼💐💐
I suggest good home with 📱📷🎞🐰🐇🌕for 1st year or an perment if others okay 👌to share seasonal, holidays anniversaries & you can set up goodie🐇🐰 📦🍎🥬🧺 be still part if the family .Rock On Beautiful people 🤗😷😇
No, unfortuanetely not. A bunny is not as easily moved as other pets, especially not a free bun. The space that they move into has to be bunny proofed, which takes a lot of preparation. They are quite different from other animals in many aspects :) And as also mentioned in this video, even if it wasn't for travelling, I'm not home enough anymore. In the long run Luna would be happier with somebody else.
I had a bunnie name Bengi and he was great - he was litter box trained ...so perfect indoor pet. I worked at home and all my contractors loved visiting him and feeding him carrots! Well life changed and my business grew so I had to find him a new home...I found a lady who was wheel chair bound and had a home based business and wanted a friend to keep her company. He's habituate fit perfectly next to her desk! It was a win win! We were connected through a bunnie rescue organization! Good luck to you and Luna ...I am sure your win win situation is coming soon!
I'm not trying to be mean but if Luna has a hard time leaving her home how is she gonna do well at another's home? I get that you have so many things you want to do and I hope that you are happy and that Luna is happy as well Animals are truly a big responsibility!
The travel and inconsistency are what stress them out. Once Luna gets settled and comfortable in her new environment for an extended time she will do well.
Transporting her to a new home may upset her for a while but she will settle in. It does not sound as if she dislikes other places just the actual transportation there. Elise should not feel guilty because she has to do this.
I have a sister with serious asthma issues. Several times she has been rushed to emergency hospital just to stabilise her as she can't breathe. We can't have pets as my sister allergic reaction is deadly, it will literally KILL HER. So we had to give up our cats to someone who will care for them. Illnesses cannot always be controlled, Elise doesn't need to explain anything to anyone. There are other personal reasons too as I believe it's nobody's business. Elise still will have subscribers no matter what. There are people who will give up their own children for adoption which I think it's wrong. Why not complain about that? Many children end up in social care or foster care and many of them are abused. Elise gave her bunny to a trustworthy friend, not to a shelter.
i'm of the mindset that you shouldn't have to share any of this with us! but thank you for doing so. i'm sure you'll find a great place for luna because of your love for her. excited for your travels.
@@EliseBuch I suppose if the questions are posed respectfully. But if you feel that you are being harassed then better not to give those people crumbs, IMO. Anyway, let's not focus on the negative! Onwards to Paris.
NEVER acquire a pet without doing the math - if their life expectancy is 10 years add 2 or 3 to that and plan your life around their sweet innocent lives - like a child. They feel too. I pray Luna finds a wonderful new FOREVER home this time. It's better for Luna if she's with a new family. Enjoy your travels and human love.
Well…. Whoever you choose, you better make sure they are going to ACTUALLY give Luna free range. Actually let her run freely. Because most people don’t understand rabbits and they will lock them up to a cage. And even outside all year round without talking to it much. And Luna can’t just switch to being an outdoor rabbit. And if she just gets a new owner who isn’t patient With her and let her run freely. I am not shaming you. Not at all!!!! Just be CAREFUL please. Cause people are lying bastards I pray you find her a great home. And I wish you congratulations on your bf and your future together 💕
I certainly do not think you are the worst person on earth. I don’t at all. But I don’t understand that part of a person that could choose. And this isn’t specific to you because this is something I have thought about and seen personal friends do. I could just never do it I don’t think. But I am really happy for you girl that you are into this next chapter in life. Truly truly am❤️ My heart just breaks for what you are feeling rehoming your sweet girl. I hope you can find her a home that you could visit and keep in touch with her.
Elise, live your life. We enjoy what you share with us but you never have to share your personal life. Balance is the key. So, happy for you. 🐇🌻🌼🌱🌶🍕☕🏠 all these remind me of you.😊
Si tu voyais ce que Paris est devenue, ce n est plus ce que c était... I m french, and Paris wont be a good destination for a "love trip" especially in January of next year... lot of riots will happen Take care
I have a bunny and would adopt Luna in a heartbeat except I'm living in Portugal. Anyway, if you want to send her this way... I'd love to give her a forever home.
I think it’s good you’re finding her a proper home that suits her needs, that being said please don’t adopt pets in the future if you don’t have a life that suits them. I say that with only kind intentions. Not everyone has a life that can accommodate animals
@Curious type don’t know why you’re attacking me. I basically said her rabbit is better off with someone else who plans on actually keeping it and giving it a permanent home. She clearly has priorities and pets aren’t one of them so that’s why I said don’t get anymore.
@Curious type we’re on the same page. I literally am living in a shed currently because a tree destroyed my house. I couldn’t find a rental that would take my pets and I couldn’t bare to leave my chickens with only daily visits. So instead of the luxury of hot water and real plumbing I finished out my shed and built an outhouse. Been living in a 12x17 box with 4 cats and a dog with my chickens right outside for 5 months so far and another 9-11 to go until my house is repaired. I adopted them and they depend on me so I will do whatever needs to be done to keep them safe and happy.
@Curious type rabbits are very sensitive animals, they absolutely can bond with their owners as much as a dog, and given that she has been a single rabbit she would view Elise as her family. It will be very traumatic to rehome her now. Owning a pet is a lifelong commitment, not a until I feel like traveling.
@@falygurl9703 thank you for saying this. So many people in these comments saying that Luna will “get over it” don’t seem to be aware that bunnies can bond very closely with their humans, especially if they only have one.
@Curious type I understand your concern. But what a horrible thing to suggest. I know you may just be trying to "put things into perspective" but she has made her decision and it's clearly not something she just decided overnight. I believe Luna will be loved wherever she goes, and I trust that Elise will do this process as well as she can.
I’m definitely not trying to make you feel bad, Elise, but it’s well known that pets can and do, feel a real sense of loss when their owner abandons them. Even if you find a good home for her, she’s been your pet for over 5 years. That’s not very nice to do to your pet for a guy you’ve known for less than a year.
I'd wait until after your Jan trip. If things don't work out and you find the boyufriend and you are not that compatible after all and this trip might show which way it will go, you won't have to also deal with the stress that you gave up Luna and the relationship didn't even pan out. My advice is to wait and see at this point.
I hope everything works out for you. Just be mindful. I left moved to a different country and even bought a house, and a few years later the guy told me he was a fraud and had been deceiving me the whole time. Guys are guys. They are what they are. Try to place Lula with someone that you can ask for her back if things don’t work out. You are still very much in a very new relationship.
y couldn't u have a friend keep her during travels and then get her once you've settled? I feel like you shouldn't have given up so easily, you are her everything.
Bunnies are not like cats or dogs, their constitution requires a really steady, quiet life. They are Easily stressed and not as resilient as other pets or humans… Elise has obviously been agonizing over this for a long time and truly loving Luna now means finding her a quiet (new) home. (No traveling, no small children) Maybe the perfect new mom (or dad) will see this vlog!
1. I am happy you found love, everyone deserves to be loved and cared for. 2. Luna will be happy in a new home. You will make the right choice and hopefully can visit from time to time. 3. Travel, explore, experience life, there is so much more than just making money. It’s a beautiful world out there. 4. No judgement, don’t stand for it. 5. Best wishes for this next phase of your life!
It is evident how much you love your sweet bunny. I hope this video was a source of comfort to you. Don’t second guess yourself. Life is to be lived. Take it from me, a introverted homebody that has spent her life in a bubble. Yes, I have had regrets in the past but finally made peace that I am a Luna and that is okay. Live … God bless.
It shows how much you love Luna and will only do what is best for her. Sometimes we have to make the hard decisions in life but be confident you are finding a new home for her out of your love for her not out of cruelty. I hope you follow you're heart and life your best life with your love beside you..
There’s no shame in doing what you think is best for Luna. Causing her unnecessary distress that could lead to health problems in the long run would be cruel. You’re doing the right thing by thinking of her health and comfort over your own desire to be her owner. Also, thank you for sharing your exciting news! I hope this new chapter is filled with so much joy and adventure! Lots of love from the U.S. 🤍
So happy for your new exciting life with love too. Very excited for you, I’m sure you can find a good home for Luna. We love our pets but you need to do this for yourself. I think you are a terrific person with an empathetic heart.
Why not just have family or a friend watch Luna? I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a child and when needed I have someone watch them or they go with me. Not the cats but they’re easy to just put extra food and water out.
Hey everyone-when you get a pet of any kind, you don’t give it up because you get a boyfriend. This is why the shelters are full to the brim. Irresponsible animal owners suck.
of course in an ideal world this wouldn't have to happen - but while I understand your point, you can see how much she is hurting about the decision. there's no doubt she will do the best she can to rehome luna properly, and it's not something she just decided instantly. luna may even go directly to a friend, or family member rather than in a shelter, who knows 💛
Maybe one of your friends or fans could adopt Luna? That way you could still visit her from time to time? Ideally also, she would be somewhere on a farm or in a house with a big garden and other animals to play with.
@@toneluy8343 ok, sure. I actually know someone that had to give up his dog because he lost his house and was homeless so he knew that finding his dog a home is best for the dog. That I understand. GIVING UP YOUR PET BECAUSE IT BECAME AN INCONVENIENCE is another thing. Animals have feelings. You can't just abandon them every time you start dating and want to travel.
can i have her ???? i am a pet lover .... i had a rabbit before and want another one .... they lovely ... a rabbit is so easy to look after , even with travelling and a boyfriend ... but yes .... i worry much that you will regret it ... however i 'd be here to rescue Luna ,poor girl xxx
I’m sorry you can delete my comment but a pet is for life, not for just when it’s convenient for you. Should of thought about that before you took on an animal which can live up to 15 years. Luna is only comfortable where she is so how are you going to find her a new home?
I think everyone can appreciate that this is so hard for you. You are looking out for the best for both of you. You can both be happy. Luna in a wonderful home where she will get so much love and attention and you going out exploring the world and chasing your dreams. I hope you can enjoy the rest of the time you have with her and that you find a home that is perfect for her.
ahh poor Luna , sadness, im crying 4 her, i give my pets away for a man and for the prospect of a future with him, don't do it u will regret it. if you do please give Luna to someone in ur family , I love u gurl !
Elise it will be hard but go for it. Luna will be fine and I know you will find her a home where she will be loved and can be happy and comfortable. Life is for living go out there and enjoy your travels while spending time with your boyfriend. Have no regrets my lovely.
Just do your best to find her a good home, you owe her that, and Im sure you will do just that. You deserve to live your life, congratulations on everything
Adopting a pet isn’t a temporary decision that you can just say JK to when it’s no longer convenient for you… This whole “explanation” is just so weird and makes no sense.
Wow! Your comment exposes a total lack of maturity and understanding. I would not want to know such a person as harsh and unimaginative as you. Sorry for you.
You are young and want to travel, there is nothing wrong with that. If you have a good friend or family that could take in Luna while you test out traveling that might be an emotionally better solution for now. Luna is a life you chose to take care of and welcome into your family, so finding a good home for her where you could visit seems like a better solution than simply finding a new home and writing her out of your life. Animals that are part of the family are in a way similar to a child, and there is no way we would write a child out of our lives just because we were bit by the travel bug. Being able to find your little bunny a home in which you can still visit her may be a healthier option for both of you. In the end what matters the most is Luna getting all the love, attention, and care she deserves.
Five Years with a beloved pet like Luna is not something that you can compare with 6 Months with a Boyfriend. The fact that Elise is so sad is an indication that this is not the right decision...🥲
I cried so hard with you babe, I remember when I had to rehome my Bunny Wrasta, broke my heart. But you will find the right home for Luna and someone who adores her just as much you do. You are such a good Bunny Mom don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. We can clearly see just how much you love Luna. Sending you a big hug hun ❤️❤️❤️
I am happy that you have met someone who makes you happy. I hope that you are able to find Luna a home where she is luved as much as you have luved her. Take care❤️
So you are deleting all the " bad" posts......just so the posts you keep will make you feel better about yourself. That's quite selfish. So you don't want to be bothered with Luna now that you want to travel with a boyfriend. I expect you to delete this, and that's ok. 😥
My darling, you do as you please. There will always be people that are opinionated and mean with their comments. I think if someone doesn't like what you decide, then too bad. Enjoy your new found happiness. Luna will be fine wherever she lives. I'm sure you will find someone to love her as much as you. Maybe, you could even find an extended babysitter that will let you visit when you can! Don't stress...easier said then done, I know! Enjoy yourself, as you said, time is getting away too fast! Love from 🇨🇦
Oh Elise - the decision for Luna has been painful ... but it sounds like you're making a good decision for her and for you. I am so glad you've found someone that you're enjoying spending time with. x
I am happy for you, really I am. Saying that, I have been adopting rescue cats, that owners give up. I give them a forever loving home. I hope you can find a trustworthy person for your bunny, and go on your adventures.
We understand don't worry about our opinion... it's ur life you need to explore to live not just working.. and Luna lived with you a perfect life and now she can continue that not just sitting alone in a room .. it's so nice of you that you not selfish and you think about what's better for her ❤ stay strong💪🏻
There is nothing wrong to let Luna spend couple weeks at bunny hotel till you are back. She’ll be alright and happy to see you coming returning to her.
You know Luna better than any of us. I believe you will make the right decision. (Maybe a family member could take her?) I lived most of my adult life working and raising kids as a single parent. You are right, life is truly short. I am happy for you. Do what is best for your future.
Luna will find a wonderful new home because she is the best bunny around! You have to grab life and live it while you can. No one is guaranteed more than this moment. My motto has been never look back with regret. Do what makes you happy and fulfilled. You are so sweet I think you are brave and lucky to have found someone you can love and adventure with.
Happy you have found someone and I'm sad about Luna as she is so sweet and part of your family!! I believe you will do whatsbest for her as I can see how much you love her. I wish you the best on your upcoming changes to your life!!!😭
Oh Elise, please don’t be so hard on yourself. If people don’t like the decisions you make that’s their problem! Keep on being you and enjoy life’s opportunities; whatever you decide to do about Luna will be the right choice for you and her. ♥️♥️
I love the idea another commenter had. Is there a friend or family member who could hold onto Luna temporarily while you do your longer trips? I used to watch my friend's hamster at my house whenever she'd be gone for a while. It was very easy, and I actually preferred that she brought him over in his cage rather than me having to go over there. And for your busier weeks at work, could you get a pet service to stop in once or twice a week to feed/spend time with Luna? It sounds like a lot, but there will probably be many lengths of downtime in the next upcoming 4 to 5 years where holding onto her would still prove to be very manageable. Fingers crossed for both of you, I'd love to see a situation work where you could still have each other.
Also wanted to say that you never really know what can happen in 4 to 5 years at this point in your life and in a blossoming relationship that is heading in a more serious direction. You could get married or even pregnant in the next two (I don't know your views on either of these so I'm just speculating). In which case, if you were pregnant or had a child, you'd definitely be travelling less. Travelling is important, but you can definitely still hold onto Luna while doing so!
Rabbits require daily care and attention, they're very social animal's and generally rarely should be a single rabbit you're supposed to have 2 but Elise didn't know that at first and Luna didn't get along with a new rabbit, so if she had a rabbit friend she could be alone more, but she is dependent on human companionship, I personally haven't finished watching the video yet but that's my input on rabbits, they bond with people and it's kinda rough rehoming them.
I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe her mom or sister could watch Luna while she's out of town? Maybe even staying with them temporarily? I would hate for Luna to lose Elise because transitioning to new homes is so difficult for animals 😢
Again go for it. Ilike I said till you find her perfect new home pet sitters. That way she is home safe and sound.so you can move forward without so much pain. Our pets are our babies.
Buildding her dreams ! With lovely Luna by your side. But know you want to deconstruct all your acomplishmentes and fallow the fantasy of a sand castel , setting your hopes of achiving the perfect life ON some one out side your self. I been there and done that. One thing I learned. No relationship should make us forget who we are and what we love
Wow, what a lucky young man to have found you. I am so happy for you. I have watched your channel for such a long time and all I ever wanted was for you to find someone who deserves you. I love the idea of you traveling and finally doing what you want to do. As for Luna, I think all of your subscribers have fallen in love with her. I don’t think it will be hard finding someone who will love and take care of her. I am totally in agreement about you not talking too much about your relationship but Elise, I am over the moon with happiness forever you. I wish I could give you a big hug. Be happy and May you have many years of happiness to come but please don’t forget us because we want to keep up with your journey.💕💕💕💕💕
As you have seen ...bf comes and goes....but animals are always loyal.💔
So sad, I noticed you have only liked the comments that are for your decision on Luna. Please don’t feel as if people are trying to be mean. Perhaps some are just seeing things from a different view. Luna is a big part of your life & your channel. I along with so many look forward to not only seeing you but Luna also. Just perhaps think on it prior to jumping into something that later you might regret 🙏🏻🐰
I understand the situation you are in but Lunas not a young bunny. I could not give Luna up for anyone. I've been raised to look after my pets from day one until the day they are no longer here, but everyone is different....
Don't give up luna for a man you have been hurt before luna loves you you will regret it 32 or 35 isn't old to travel the world is not safe at the moment Xx
I think it’s really important that people consider the life span of a pet and what your life is going to look like during their lifetime. Peoples lives always change. But I can’t imagine any change in my life where my pets would not fit into it. You don’t owe anyone an explanation as to what you do in your personal life. And frankly my opinion or anyone else’s doesn’t matter. But I do wish you’d have stressed to people in this video how much of a commitment owning a pet is and the importance of really thinking that through beforehand. I’ve traveled but I’ve also turned down traveling and other things because of my pets. They are worth the commitment IMO.
I agree 100%. Thank you for stating it so eloquently. I would not have been so nice.
Well just take Luna with you. You said she can live only 5 more years, You never know. It is better to take her with you even if she won't be ok, but you will be happy to have her with you. But if you leave her with some one else, maybe she will miss you, and die. She loves you girl, don't let her behind. While you travel, she can stay with some one, but if you move definitely , I think is better to take her with you, that is my humble opinion!
And a very well said opinion too! I would say the same.
Me too.
What about a house sitter for when you go away? Lots of ppl do that ....I've sat dogs, sheep etc and it's it's usually a great win win for the homeowner and the sitter.
I’m a pet sitter. I stay with the pet in its home, sometimes 2-3 weeks at a time. Interview some sitters and get references from them. At least give it a try! Heck, I’d cross the pond to sit for Luna! Xo
Pets are for life. There is nothing on earth that is more important than the commitment I made to my furry friends and that includes being able to travel whenever I would like.
Same
Thats not correct or reasonable. The commitment we make to our animals is that we will do all we can to give them a stable and loving home and that includes recognising when you are no longer able to give your pet the best life. There are many reasonable reasons to re-home an animal. Elise has explained that Luna doesn't like to travel in her pet carrier and that she doesn't like to be moved about. With Elise being so busy now she is not at home all the time like she was before opening the shop and buying her garden and she can't take Luna to those places either without upsetting her. This also means dropping her pet sitters won't work. So this is not just about travel, even Elise's day to day life has changed so much to the point she can't spend much time Luna. Loving our animals means also realising you can no longer provide her the best home and making sure she gets what she needs from her home.
Since the decision to let go Luna was made public I don't feel bad commenting that pets are not disposable. They are a lifelong commitment and it's the tutor's responsability to make sure they are safe and loved for as long as they live. Single people should not get pets as placeholders for a partner and dispose of them once that partner is found. I hope Luna finds a better tutor and a loving home.
That is not what she is doing. If people actually listened to what she was saying maybe they would get it. The main reason is that Luna is home alone most of the time now that Elise's life is so much busier. The desire to travel is not the main reason, more like the last straw. Being a responsible pet owner means being able to recognise when you are no longer in a position to give your pet its best life. Good for her for putting the desire to see Luna getting the best life she can first, because I promise you Elise has made this decision because she loves Luna.
Absolutely. Some are so quick to judge .
@@tamber6837 What a load of rubbish! People have to work to survive and unfortunately sometimes as our lives change over time we are no longer the best carer for our pets. This is especially true with young people whose lives change enormously over a 5 years. It is the sign of a responsible and loving owner to recognise they are no longer in a position to give their animals the best home and find the right person to do that for the animal. If she was dumping Luna it would be a different story but she is going to carefully select the right home for her and make sure Luna is safe and loved, so people need to stop being so critical.
Life is about expansion. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. I won't give up my dog or cat for him. He is a part of my life. That's the best way to be open to expansion. So I told my boyfriend my little animal family stays with me.
She is not rehomeing Luna because she has a boyfriend. Like she said in the video she is very busy and doesn't have enough time to spend with Luna🐰
@@rikkemeek1506 yeah right!
I have been with my boyfriend nearly 8 years. If I had to choose between him or my pets, I would help him pack.
@@mogatronkel it’s all just an act on the camera. I really like her before and when she cries i feel for her but not this time. I can see through it, that its all just an act so her subscribers will agree with her abandoning luna. I hope nobody does that to you Elise.
@@whimsywoodland me too! Lol
Our animals are with us through thick and thin and I know you are torn and your life has moved fast especially in the last 6 months but give some of the suggestions a try about maybe taking her with you to some, not all, locations before you do that very painful thing of re-homing. Maybe see where the relationship goes also. I have never kept a bunny but have 6 other pets and they adapted so much faster than I gave them credit for.
Sweetheart you don’t owe anyone any explanation about your choice. I know this is hard but Luna will be fine. I am 60 years old and I regret I didn’t get to travel when I was younger, I always say I do not regret the things I’ve done just those I did not do. Follow your dreams and know it’s for the best. Pets do adjust. And I am happy for you.
Totally agree, regarding travels when younger, etc., and I thought I was the only older person watching this special young lady. Wishing her well on her travels.
this x 10000. I am 43 and still trying to figure me out. She is doing great .
Totally agree. I am 60. Life is too short. Pets do adjust!
Life is so short. Sure you will find a good time for Luna. I am 82 years old and look back and wish I had traveled more before I married and had family. Glad thou have found someone you can share your life with. Be happy and enjoy every moment. Wish you the best. Take care and be safe.
You have to live your life lovely, enjoy your travels 😘
We dont hate you, we love you and all your beautiful clothes
Big hugs xx🐝🌻☀️💫👍🏽
I have no idea why you cant have a bunny sitter take care of her at your house. Maybe Marcella or Sophie watch her while you are gone. She would still be in her home. Unless you are closing down your business and moving apartment. I could not give my furbaby away for a guy,probably because they arent for sure either. But you can have both. Im glad you found someone. But you are also Luna's someone.
Exactly. This is rationalizing. I had to make that decision myself, but I chose my animals.
@@TLhky98 There were so many animals adopted during covid. And now places are overrun because they were returned after lockdowns and people went to work. I have to travel every xmas .But i take my dog with me and my cats had a sitter. My apartment is small but i would make sure there were a few treats and my xmas tree was up just to make it more cozy for the sitter when they dropped by. 2 times a day to feed,water,do litter and a little playtime and scratches. Thats it. 5 days and they knew i couldnt afford alot but 80.00 was fine for gas and whatever else they wanted to use it for. They lived super close by. Always the same person. And she also has her family. I think the decision is a little rash. New chapters are good. But Luna is family.
@jetta.silence I passed up teaching in Japan, because I wasn’t about to justify bad behavior/leaving my pets and I absolutely don’t regret it. As a matter of fact, I took another animal in that a former friend decided to dump, because he wanted to travel. That’s why he’s a former friend. I’m glad there are nice people like you left. :)
@@jetta.silence6356 my comment is below, as I didn’t tag you properly
@@TLhky98 likwise. Im sure your furbabies are living their best possible lives. 🥰
Sounds a bit odd. Maybe I just got it wrong, but from the way you are talking about traveling it sounds you’ll never be home again. So much that you’ll give your bunny away. But then you’re painting your rental kitchen in the video after ? Idk it’s just random. Are you giving up the physical shop since you’ll be traveling so much?
I have a rescue dog and met with her first owner a month ago. She gave her up because she felt she deserved a better life. I am so so thankful that she did that. Our Bella is the light of our lives and gets 100x more attention. You know what’s right.
I too like to travel and when I do I hire a pet sitter. My animals love her and I never worry when I am gone. These next few years coming up...traveling will become very difficult as I have already experienced. Good Luck to you. Not going to lie...I am sad about Luna.
Throw away society I find the world such a harsh place 😢 hold your dearest a little closer for those who are discarded and for those who take in the discarded.
She was 18 years old Her people, who she loved all her life, took her, vaccination booklet, leash, collar and her belongings and took her to the Baldwin Park shelter.
They said they were tired of fighting an older dog, signing papers and leaving without even looking at her.
When she was raised by a volunteer at the shelter, she leaned on him probably wishing it was all just a bad dream.
That moment was perpetuated by photographer John Hwang who was in the shelter at that time.
Unfortunately, animals love loyal, with all their hearts, with all their souls and are unable to understand that human 'love forever' usually has expiration date. - until the annual, to moving, to the disease, to the age...
Animals deserve better people.
Eyes of an Angel team
Could not agree with this post more.
I totally agree. Animals give their all but seem to be disposable.
I guess there will be no advent calendar for Luna this year 😔
I know you haven't been enjoying your apartment, and neighbours noise lately, at least you will no longer have the responsibility of having to stay there for Luna. At least you can now stay at your boyfriend's house.
Ive travelled for business and pleasure, but I could never give up on a pet, for this reason. I loved travelling but more importantly, I loved coming home to my pets, that was much more fulfilling to me.
This is really sad, I hate to see when people get rid of an animal just because it doesn't suit their life anymore. Especially when this is the only life this animal has ever known.
Totally agree ❤️
I wondering if Sophie could look after Luna in the 14 days you will be abroad. As you said "Luna likes to be home", in your home.
Maybe someone from your family could give a look at your cabin. Don't blow up what you love and constructed.
You did very well maintaining your privacy.
Congratulations and good luck in your new chapter, love & travel experience :)
i 'm feeling very sad for Luna, she doesn't deserve to be abandonned, i 'm sending her all my love.
This is totally how I feel too ♥️
I unfortunately had to unsubscribe (which is a personal decision I’m free to make just like we all are) because for me a pet is super important but I’m not going to bash her or the decision she made. I couldn’t part with my pet but I also don’t live her life and only she knows how she’ll handle the situation. Hopefully Luna finds a wonderful home to live out her golden years
@@Mejiaelis Same here
Me too I'm afraid .
So you think someone should put aside their dreams because she has to stay home and take care of a bunny? I find this so ridiculous. I am sure that if Luna could travel happily she would take the bunny with her, but Elise knows this would be traumatic for her, so she is trying to do what is best for her.
Just remember, you're still in the honeymoon phase with this person. No matter how starry-eyed or in love you feel, no matter what promises you both make, no matter what he says, things can go south extremely quickly and it all comes to an abrupt end. People aren't always what they seem. You need to know them for years and years and years to really see through what they portray themselves to be.
I am very well aware, but my god feeling is that we're a very strong match :)
And if gives me the chance to finally travel and explore more, I'll gladly take the chance and see where life takes me. I can't sit at home and protect myself in feat of what might hurt me in the future, I'd pass on what could be pretty damn amazing.
@@shaistaali9802 I agree with you but Luna doesn't have an optimal life at all stuck alone all day in a corner with no visual or mental stimulation. She should be around calm activity, have a window to look out and another bunny. She deserves a much better life
@@shaistaali9802 luna wont suffer, she is going to a great home.
@@toneluy8343 you don’t know that. Elise fooled me that she loves Luna so much but you don’t know people specially on camera. You wouldn’t know if the next owner will do the same as Elise is doing right now, giving her away if Luna is not convenient anymore.
@@9Blackcat Yeah a bad actress&is acting very vain...it's gross behavior really.No bunny in recent vlog&she does not appear to give a damn
You don't have to get rid of Luna. Just take her with you.
Your your own boss. Get a pet stroller , and pet car seat. She'll have fun with you
Hi Elise I have pet chickens and cats and when I go travelling , usually to Thailand and Vietnam for a month, my parents looks after my animals for me, I am sure you will find a solution, I am a lonely child so I don’t even have a siblings to ask. I am sure some family members will look after her long term for you. 😊
You will be ok… don’t feel guilt. There is someone out there needs Luna. And you need to have happiness.
Life is short. I’m 64, don’t be like me and say I wish I did. Be glad for each day and live life to your fullest.
You will be fine, I’m very very happy for you. ❤️
I went backpacking in Australia and met a lot of fellow travelers, including a woman in her 60s. She was having a great time traveling on her own. So no limits despite any age. I plan on traveling well into my 80s, so long as I am healthy.
Dear there's nothing to do in Paris for 2 weeks in winter, so maybe you don't have to get rid of Luna for now
Anyway happy for you to start a new chapter
Imagine if you give Luna away and then end up not travelling that much/living abroad at all. It's one thing to find another family for her once you've already been travelling a lot and then you realize that there is no way you can keep her and it's completely another thing to do it just because you THINK it's going to be difficult. I'm only saying this because once it's done and you've given her away, if things don't work out the way you have them set up in your mind, the regret will consume you.
I think there’s nothing wrong with finding a new home for Luna. It’s more responsible of you to find her a good new place than to keep her and not be able to spend enough time with her. I’m happy for you that you’ve found someone who shares your interests and wants to travel with you. Please don’t feel bad. I think you’re a beautiful person, inside and out. You’re just entering a new phase of life and the changes can be hard.
I totally agree with you.
I'm sixty years old, I have two adult sons your age, you are a very well rounded young lady, you put everything
important in its right place, you love your bunny and when you find her a new home your taking care of her.
Your doing the correct things in your life ,I know you will have a beautiful future because your a great person, be happy kiddo ,you deserve it. And all us that follow you
wish you the best in everything, we hope you still will be able to share your adventures with us. And bunny is going on to her new adventures. Be Happy kiddo. Just be Happy you deserve it. God bless you ,hope you share some adventures with us ,only when you can. What's important is you and your partner ,taking care of each other. You have a good head on your shoulders.
Love your shows.🥰
You want to give her up after she has been with you all these years for a guy you have only known for a few months? Get to know him for at least a year before permanently giving her up ❤️
i thought she said she has known him for a while but they’ve been official for a few months? Either way I agree she seems to view her rabbit as a "thing", like a car u can ditch, instead of a permanent family member.
@@Dubois_tada true, I am sad for Luna.

Oh honey! Just because you have a UA-cam channel does not mean that you have to reveal every aspect of your personal life. No one does that! Congratulations on having found a man who cherishes you and wants to spend time with you. It will be SO exciting for two young lovers to be in the City of Light at the beginning of the new year. How romantic. I wish you much success in your personal and professional life! As far as Luna, you've treated her well. She will be just fine in a new loving home.
I totally agree with you. I said the same thing. 👍❤️
Well said 👏 it is no1's business do what you feel is best for you 🫂 I have so much respect for you in what you feel is best for you🍀
Sometimes you can be too open ,too honest.,too kind.,too forgiving....and generally..just too decent a person-often some individuals can't cope with meeting a 'nice' person.
Your warmth and personality shines through your videos. Do NOT let these possibly jealous people deter you from being you-You have done nothing wrong at all xx 🤗
I know that the decision to let her go was so hard for you, but you are doing the right thing for her. Make sure wherever she goes that you can visit her from time to time. She will remember you. I could never hate you. You are a marvelous young woman, and I am so proud of the progress you have made in your short, sweet life.
I’m sorry to see you that sad… i wouldn’t give Luna just for a 2 weeks trip, you love her ! I was petsitting my sister’s bunny and my home became his second safe place. I’m sure one of your friends or a professional petsitter could do that for you during your first trips at least!
Do you have a friend or family member that could take care of Luna during your travels? Maybe for the first trip you may want to consider trying that, since it wouldn't be a permanent decision. I suggest that because I can see how much it pains you. Whatever you decide, you should do what is best for you. Luna will be happy as long as she is surrounded by love.
Good idea 👍
Sooo happy you found someone to spend your life with. He must be a wonderful guy, l wish you all the happiness in the world. Maybe someone could keep Luna while ya'll go to Paris, who knows. We know how much you love her.
Take care & just be happy.
Hi from Texas.🌻🌻🙋🙋🌼🌼💐💐
I suggest good home with 📱📷🎞🐰🐇🌕for 1st year or an perment if others okay 👌to share seasonal, holidays anniversaries & you can set up goodie🐇🐰 📦🍎🥬🧺 be still part if the family .Rock On Beautiful people 🤗😷😇
No, unfortuanetely not. A bunny is not as easily moved as other pets, especially not a free bun. The space that they move into has to be bunny proofed, which takes a lot of preparation. They are quite different from other animals in many aspects :) And as also mentioned in this video, even if it wasn't for travelling, I'm not home enough anymore. In the long run Luna would be happier with somebody else.
I have heard rabbits are a lot of maintenance. There are a lot in shelters, here in the States.
I had a bunnie name Bengi and he was great - he was litter box trained ...so perfect indoor pet. I worked at home and all my contractors loved visiting him and feeding him carrots! Well life changed and my business grew so I had to find him a new home...I found a lady who was wheel chair bound and had a home based business and wanted a friend to keep her company. He's habituate fit perfectly next to her desk! It was a win win! We were connected through a bunnie rescue organization! Good luck to you and Luna ...I am sure your win win situation is coming soon!
I'm not trying to be mean but if Luna has a hard time leaving her home how is she gonna do well at another's home? I get that you have so many things you want to do and I hope that you are happy and that Luna is happy as well Animals are truly a big responsibility!
The travel and inconsistency are what stress them out. Once Luna gets settled and comfortable in her new environment for an extended time she will do well.
Transporting her to a new home may upset her for a while but she will settle in. It does not sound as if she dislikes other places just the actual transportation there. Elise should not feel guilty because she has to do this.
💔 For Luna
Sorry, I will never give up my pet for a man or ....travel. Sorry NOT sorry ! - Unsubscribing.
It’s truly gross and callous.
Yeah I’m with you. I hugged my dogs after watching this and felt sick to my stomach. I can’t even watch her videos anymore.
I have a sister with serious asthma issues. Several times she has been rushed to emergency hospital just to stabilise her as she can't breathe. We can't have pets as my sister allergic reaction is deadly, it will literally KILL HER. So we had to give up our cats to someone who will care for them. Illnesses cannot always be controlled, Elise doesn't need to explain anything to anyone. There are other personal reasons too as I believe it's nobody's business. Elise still will have subscribers no matter what. There are people who will give up their own children for adoption which I think it's wrong. Why not complain about that? Many children end up in social care or foster care and many of them are abused. Elise gave her bunny to a trustworthy friend, not to a shelter.
i'm of the mindset that you shouldn't have to share any of this with us! but thank you for doing so. i'm sure you'll find a great place for luna because of your love for her. excited for your travels.
The thing is that if I didn't I'd keep getting qustions and people asking to see Luna, so I actually do feel like I have to say this soner or later :)
@@EliseBuch I suppose if the questions are posed respectfully. But if you feel that you are being harassed then better not to give those people crumbs, IMO. Anyway, let's not focus on the negative! Onwards to Paris.
Poor Luna 😣😭
NEVER acquire a pet without doing the math - if their life expectancy is 10 years add 2 or 3 to that and plan your life around their sweet innocent lives - like a child. They feel too. I pray Luna finds a wonderful new FOREVER home this time. It's better for Luna if she's with a new family. Enjoy your travels and human love.
Well…. Whoever you choose, you better make sure they are going to ACTUALLY give Luna free range. Actually let her run freely. Because most people don’t understand rabbits and they will lock them up to a cage. And even outside all year round without talking to it much. And Luna can’t just switch to being an outdoor rabbit. And if she just gets a new owner who isn’t patient With her and let her run freely. I am not shaming you. Not at all!!!! Just be CAREFUL please. Cause people are lying bastards I pray you find her a great home.
And I wish you congratulations on your bf and your future together 💕
How about your sister? Or someone who already loves Luna? 🙏🏽
I certainly do not think you are the worst person on earth. I don’t at all. But I don’t understand that part of a person that could choose. And this isn’t specific to you because this is something I have thought about and seen personal friends do. I could just never do it I don’t think.
But I am really happy for you girl that you are into this next chapter in life. Truly truly am❤️ My heart just breaks for what you are feeling rehoming your sweet girl. I hope you can find her a home that you could visit and keep in touch with her.
Elise, live your life. We enjoy what you share with us but you never have to share your personal life. Balance is the key. So, happy for you. 🐇🌻🌼🌱🌶🍕☕🏠 all these remind me of you.😊
Si tu voyais ce que Paris est devenue, ce n est plus ce que c était...
I m french, and Paris wont be a good destination for a "love trip" especially in January of next year... lot of riots will happen
Take care
I have a bunny and would adopt Luna in a heartbeat except I'm living in Portugal. Anyway, if you want to send her this way... I'd love to give her a forever home.
Oooh. The relationship didn’t last long. 😭
I think it’s good you’re finding her a proper home that suits her needs, that being said please don’t adopt pets in the future if you don’t have a life that suits them. I say that with only kind intentions. Not everyone has a life that can accommodate animals
@Curious type don’t know why you’re attacking me. I basically said her rabbit is better off with someone else who plans on actually keeping it and giving it a permanent home. She clearly has priorities and pets aren’t one of them so that’s why I said don’t get anymore.
@Curious type we’re on the same page. I literally am living in a shed currently because a tree destroyed my house. I couldn’t find a rental that would take my pets and I couldn’t bare to leave my chickens with only daily visits. So instead of the luxury of hot water and real plumbing I finished out my shed and built an outhouse. Been living in a 12x17 box with 4 cats and a dog with my chickens right outside for 5 months so far and another 9-11 to go until my house is repaired. I adopted them and they depend on me so I will do whatever needs to be done to keep them safe and happy.
@Curious type rabbits are very sensitive animals, they absolutely can bond with their owners as much as a dog, and given that she has been a single rabbit she would view Elise as her family. It will be very traumatic to rehome her now. Owning a pet is a lifelong commitment, not a until I feel like traveling.
@@falygurl9703 thank you for saying this. So many people in these comments saying that Luna will “get over it” don’t seem to be aware that bunnies can bond very closely with their humans, especially if they only have one.
@Curious type I understand your concern. But what a horrible thing to suggest. I know you may just be trying to "put things into perspective" but she has made her decision and it's clearly not something she just decided overnight. I believe Luna will be loved wherever she goes, and I trust that Elise will do this process as well as she can.
I’m definitely not trying to make you feel bad, Elise, but it’s well known that pets can and do, feel a real sense of loss when their owner abandons them. Even if you find a good home for her, she’s been your pet for over 5 years. That’s not very nice to do to your pet for a guy you’ve known for less than a year.
I'd wait until after your Jan trip. If things don't work out and you find the boyufriend and you are not that compatible after all and this trip might show which way it will go, you won't have to also deal with the stress that you gave up Luna and the relationship didn't even pan out. My advice is to wait and see at this point.
This is what’s happening right now.
I hope everything works out for you. Just be mindful. I left moved to a different country and even bought a house, and a few years later the guy told me he was a fraud and had been deceiving me the whole time. Guys are guys. They are what they are. Try to place Lula with someone that you can ask for her back if things don’t work out. You are still very much in a very new relationship.
y couldn't u have a friend keep her during travels and then get her once you've settled? I feel like you shouldn't have given up so easily, you are her everything.
Bunnies are not like cats or dogs, their constitution requires a really steady, quiet life. They are Easily stressed and not as resilient as other pets or humans…
Elise has obviously been agonizing over this for a long time and truly loving Luna now means finding her a quiet (new) home. (No traveling, no small children) Maybe the perfect new mom (or dad) will see this vlog!
1. I am happy you found love, everyone deserves to be loved and cared for.
2. Luna will be happy in a new home. You will make the right choice and hopefully can visit from time to time.
3. Travel, explore, experience life, there is so much more than just making money. It’s a beautiful world out there.
4. No judgement, don’t stand for it.
5. Best wishes for this next phase of your life!
It is evident how much you love your sweet bunny. I hope this video was a source of comfort to you. Don’t second guess yourself. Life is to be lived. Take it from me, a introverted homebody that has spent her life in a bubble. Yes, I have had regrets in the past but finally made peace that I am a Luna and that is okay. Live … God bless.
This made me emotional 😭 I quickly went looking for my cat to hug 😞
Poor Luna ..again animals dismissed for humans being selfish rabbits are not easy pets so many people don't realize that
Be kind
@@johnsonkelley8371 to your pets...they didn't choose you ..you chose them
If Luna could safely be shipped to California and if my home renovation was complete, I'd take her in a heartbeat.
It shows how much you love Luna and will only do what is best for her. Sometimes we have to make the hard decisions in life but be confident you are finding a new home for her out of your love for her not out of cruelty. I hope you follow you're heart and life your best life with your love beside you..
There’s no shame in doing what you think is best for Luna. Causing her unnecessary distress that could lead to health problems in the long run would be cruel. You’re doing the right thing by thinking of her health and comfort over your own desire to be her owner. Also, thank you for sharing your exciting news! I hope this new chapter is filled with so much joy and adventure! Lots of love from the U.S. 🤍
So happy for your new exciting life with love too. Very excited for you, I’m sure you can find a good home for Luna. We love our pets but you need to do this for yourself. I think you are a terrific person with an empathetic heart.
Why not just have family or a friend watch Luna? I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a child and when needed I have someone watch them or they go with me. Not the cats but they’re easy to just put extra food and water out.
Hey everyone-when you get a pet of any kind, you don’t give it up because you get a boyfriend. This is why the shelters are full to the brim. Irresponsible animal owners suck.
of course in an ideal world this wouldn't have to happen - but while I understand your point, you can see how much she is hurting about the decision. there's no doubt she will do the best she can to rehome luna properly, and it's not something she just decided instantly. luna may even go directly to a friend, or family member rather than in a shelter, who knows 💛
Maybe one of your friends or fans could adopt Luna? That way you could still visit her from time to time? Ideally also, she would be somewhere on a farm or in a house with a big garden and other animals to play with.
Can you imagine the amount of pets in the shelters if everyone would give up their pet for the sake of a man? Dear God!
Luna is not going to a shelter.
@@toneluy8343 ok, sure. I actually know someone that had to give up his dog because he lost his house and was homeless so he knew that finding his dog a home is best for the dog. That I understand. GIVING UP YOUR PET BECAUSE IT BECAME AN INCONVENIENCE is another thing. Animals have feelings. You can't just abandon them every time you start dating and want to travel.
Take care Elise! I hope you get the best home for Luna 🐰
can i have her ???? i am a pet lover .... i had a rabbit before and want another one .... they lovely ... a rabbit is so easy to look after , even with travelling and a boyfriend ... but yes .... i worry much that you will regret it ... however i 'd be here to rescue Luna ,poor girl xxx
I’m sorry you can delete my comment but a pet is for life, not for just when it’s convenient for you. Should of thought about that before you took on an animal which can live up to 15 years. Luna is only comfortable where she is so how are you going to find her a new home?
@Claire Phoenix-Griffiths they are chosen circumstances
She would probably enjoy a home with kids who would play with her a lot. You deserve happiness, he sounds wonderful.
I think everyone can appreciate that this is so hard for you. You are looking out for the best for both of you. You can both be happy. Luna in a wonderful home where she will get so much love and attention and you going out exploring the world and chasing your dreams. I hope you can enjoy the rest of the time you have with her and that you find a home that is perfect for her.
My bunny lived about 14 years old
ahh poor Luna , sadness, im crying 4 her, i give my pets away for a man and for the prospect of a future with him, don't do it u will regret it. if you do please give Luna to someone in ur family , I love u gurl !
Elise it will be hard but go for it. Luna will be fine and I know you will find her a home where she will be loved and can be happy and comfortable. Life is for living go out there and enjoy your travels while spending time with your boyfriend. Have no regrets my lovely.
Just do your best to find her a good home, you owe her that, and Im sure you will do just that. You deserve to live your life, congratulations on everything
Adopting a pet isn’t a temporary decision that you can just say JK to when it’s no longer convenient for you… This whole “explanation” is just so weird and makes no sense.
Wow! Your comment exposes a total lack of maturity and understanding. I would not want to know such a person as harsh and unimaginative as you. Sorry for you.
You are young and want to travel, there is nothing wrong with that. If you have a good friend or family that could take in Luna while you test out traveling that might be an emotionally better solution for now. Luna is a life you chose to take care of and welcome into your family, so finding a good home for her where you could visit seems like a better solution than simply finding a new home and writing her out of your life. Animals that are part of the family are in a way similar to a child, and there is no way we would write a child out of our lives just because we were bit by the travel bug. Being able to find your little bunny a home in which you can still visit her may be a healthier option for both of you. In the end what matters the most is Luna getting all the love, attention, and care she deserves.
Five Years with a beloved pet like Luna is not something that you can compare with 6 Months with a Boyfriend.
The fact that Elise is so sad is an indication that this is not the right decision...🥲
@@dittedatte8046 she’s acting sad so her subscribers won’t be upset with her leaving Luna for travelling with a man he only know for 6 months.
I cried so hard with you babe, I remember when I had to rehome my Bunny Wrasta, broke my heart. But you will find the right home for Luna and someone who adores her just as much you do. You are such a good Bunny Mom don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. We can clearly see just how much you love Luna. Sending you a big hug hun ❤️❤️❤️
If you weren't on social media you wouldn't even care! DO YOU!!
There is nothing wrong with giving your pet a better life for her
Whole mix of emotions in this one.
I am happy that you have met someone who makes you happy. I hope that you are able to find Luna a home where she is luved as much as you have luved her. Take care❤️
So you are deleting all the " bad" posts......just so the posts you keep will make you feel better about yourself. That's quite selfish. So you don't want to be bothered with Luna now that you want to travel with a boyfriend. I expect you to delete this, and that's ok.
😥
My darling, you do as you please. There will always be people that are opinionated and mean with their comments. I think if someone doesn't like what you decide, then too bad. Enjoy your new found happiness. Luna will be fine wherever she lives. I'm sure you will find someone to love her as much as you. Maybe, you could even find an extended babysitter that will let you visit when you can! Don't stress...easier said then done, I know!
Enjoy yourself, as you said, time is getting away too fast!
Love from 🇨🇦
You might regret it poor Bunny...
I am sorry about your bunny. I hope you find the perfect place and person for her.
Take Luna with you!
It really makes me sad when someone gets a pet and then after years gets rid of them! Pets are like our children.
Oh Elise - the decision for Luna has been painful ... but it sounds like you're making a good decision for her and for you.
I am so glad you've found someone that you're enjoying spending time with. x
I am happy for you, really I am. Saying that, I have been adopting rescue cats, that owners give up. I give them a forever loving home. I hope you can find a trustworthy person for your bunny, and go on your adventures.
We understand don't worry about our opinion... it's ur life you need to explore to live not just working.. and Luna lived with you a perfect life and now she can continue that not just sitting alone in a room .. it's so nice of you that you not selfish and you think about what's better for her ❤ stay strong💪🏻
There is nothing wrong to let Luna spend couple weeks at bunny hotel till you are back. She’ll be alright and happy to see you coming returning to her.
As I mention in this video, even if it wasn't for travelling I'm not home enough.
You know Luna better than any of us. I believe you will make the right decision. (Maybe a family member could take her?) I lived most of my adult life working and raising kids as a single parent. You are right, life is truly short. I am happy for you. Do what is best for your future.
Luna will find a wonderful new home because she is the best bunny around! You have to grab life and live it while you can. No one is guaranteed more than this moment. My motto has been never look back with regret. Do what makes you happy and fulfilled. You are so sweet I think you are brave and lucky to have found someone you can love and adventure with.
Happy you have found someone and I'm sad about Luna as she is so sweet and part of your family!! I believe you will do whatsbest for her as I can see how much you love her. I wish you the best on your upcoming changes to your life!!!😭
Oh Elise, please don’t be so hard on yourself. If people don’t like the decisions you make that’s their problem! Keep on being you and enjoy life’s opportunities; whatever you decide to do about Luna will be the right choice for you and her. ♥️♥️
I love the idea another commenter had. Is there a friend or family member who could hold onto Luna temporarily while you do your longer trips? I used to watch my friend's hamster at my house whenever she'd be gone for a while. It was very easy, and I actually preferred that she brought him over in his cage rather than me having to go over there. And for your busier weeks at work, could you get a pet service to stop in once or twice a week to feed/spend time with Luna? It sounds like a lot, but there will probably be many lengths of downtime in the next upcoming 4 to 5 years where holding onto her would still prove to be very manageable. Fingers crossed for both of you, I'd love to see a situation work where you could still have each other.
Also wanted to say that you never really know what can happen in 4 to 5 years at this point in your life and in a blossoming relationship that is heading in a more serious direction. You could get married or even pregnant in the next two (I don't know your views on either of these so I'm just speculating). In which case, if you were pregnant or had a child, you'd definitely be travelling less. Travelling is important, but you can definitely still hold onto Luna while doing so!
Rabbits require daily care and attention, they're very social animal's and generally rarely should be a single rabbit you're supposed to have 2 but Elise didn't know that at first and Luna didn't get along with a new rabbit, so if she had a rabbit friend she could be alone more, but she is dependent on human companionship, I personally haven't finished watching the video yet but that's my input on rabbits, they bond with people and it's kinda rough rehoming them.
I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe her mom or sister could watch Luna while she's out of town? Maybe even staying with them temporarily? I would hate for Luna to lose Elise because transitioning to new homes is so difficult for animals 😢
Again go for it. Ilike I said till you find her perfect new home pet sitters. That way she is home safe and sound.so you can move forward without so much pain. Our pets are our babies.
Buildding her dreams ! With lovely Luna by your side. But know you want to deconstruct all your acomplishmentes and fallow the fantasy of a sand castel , setting your hopes of achiving the perfect life ON some one out side your self. I been there and done that. One thing I learned. No relationship should make us forget who we are and what we love
One year later and it did indeed turn out to be a sand castle. Poor Luna.
Good luck in your new life....You will find someone to take care of Luna, she is adorable....
Wow, what a lucky young man to have found you. I am so happy for you. I have watched your channel for such a long time and all I ever wanted was for you to find someone who deserves you. I love the idea of you traveling and finally doing what you want to do. As for Luna, I think all of your subscribers have fallen in love with her. I don’t think it will be hard finding someone who will love and take care of her. I am totally in agreement about you not talking too much about your relationship but Elise, I am over the moon with happiness forever you. I wish I could give you a big hug. Be happy and May you have many years of happiness to come but please don’t forget us because we want to keep up with your journey.💕💕💕💕💕
