….SOOOO out-of-date!
Hi!
Man, do I have a lot to catch up on! I’ve missed you all! I have internet access back at my consistent-job, so hopefully I can keep up better now…
But I have good news!
Look who’s re-bonded (the little twerps!)

I had to do the bonding at midnight, in the bathtub (them, not me!), with a spray-bottle aimed at their (Robbies’s!) little fuzzy heads, but we have had happy co-habitation since February 13!!! (My BF was PARTICULARLY happy about giving up Valentine’s Day to sit and stare at the bunnies and make sure they didn’t kill each other, btw!)

Robbie was obnoxiously happy about claiming possession of the hutch during pen-swaps (he did these weird demented binkies that were actually creepy INSIDE the hutch!), so I JUST put the hutch into their pen 3 days ago, and they still don’t have access to the inside. I figure, maybe on April 15th (Tax Day, for you Americans!), I’ll let them have a try (they’ll have been living together 2 months…twice as long as their original bonding-time). I’m still afraid Robbie’ll go mental and go after poor silly Lizzy once he decides he has a hutch to be territorial over…but if he’s a jerk, I guess I’ll have to get rid of their lovely hutch that they both love.
More pictures for your amusement…
Miss Lizzy, who is 2 years old this month!

“Pick me! Pick me! I am the angriest bunny in the world!”

“I HATE a nail-trim, mother! How dare you put Boy up to this!” (In our imagined bunny-voice, Miss Lizzy Princess cannot be bothered to give my boyfriend a name…he is merely “Boy” to her highness!)

Robbie plots evil conspiracies…or washes his face…your choice!
I can’t wait to see what you all have been up to!
<3 from Lightchick, Lizzy, and Robbie

Great to hear from you… thanks for the update!
Hi, Rachel!

WAAAHHHOOOOOO!!!! Bunnies in love at last!!! I am so happy to hear this news, LC! (sadly, piccies are not loading for me though…boo!)
Would that be considered a “squirt bottle wedding?” (You know, like a shotgun wedding for hoomins?) lmao
Keeping my fingers, eyes and toes crossed that Robbie keeps his posturing to himself come time for hutch sharing!
Awww, MM, so sorry pictures aren’t loading for you…they look fine on my computer…???
It was VERY much a “squirt bottle wedding”! I had just HAD it with them and their posturing and posing and keeping me up till 4am so they could have barely-adequate out-time (separately, while spending most of the time sticking their noses into each others’ pens and getting bit in the process!), and decided that if they were going to taunt each other, they could do the taunting up-close-and-personal…the BRATS!
But they’re doing okay, now…I really want them to have the hutch because I know how much they like it, but if I have to take it out back and burn it to keep Robbie from killing Lizzy, so be it!
How are Pip and Mim doing?
Hi Lightchick, we’ve missed you!
Boy, they make a sweet couple. I know what you mean about having ‘had it’. After 2 months of Lola and Daisy almost being bonded I got tired of the snippy snotty bratting going on and turned them loose together in the living room (where I camped out with them). Every hour or so I would let my very friendly dog in to walk through the room and those 2 tried to climb into each other’s skin! By the end of the weekend they were thick as fleas and have stayed that way.
Look forward to your stories!
That is great! Good to see you, Robbie, and Miss Lizzy and happy to hear about the remarriage too!
Yea, yea, yea!
I’m so glad they have reconciled – with a little help from the squirt bottle!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WoooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back, btw! ;o)
How is Thumper doing?
Hahaha Kralspace! I think they KNOW when we snap and are just not going to tolerate any more foolishness! I love that you used the dog against them!
Thanks for the lovely welcome, as always, all!
Hi Beka! Thumper is doing well. He is a HUGE piggy and runs around like he’s starving to death all the time…makes my BF crazy trying to keep up with him! Question from BF, while we’re talking about Thumper: Is there ANY limit to the “unlimited hay” rule? My 2 take 2 weeks to go through a flake. Thumper, if given “unlimited” access, would polish off a flake in 2 days! (Not exagerrating!)
Thumper’s still not neutered yet. Grrr. I wish BF would hurry up and save the money and get it done soon, because Thumper is a bit obnoxious. He runs around in circles, and lately has taken to honking, and leaps out of every enclosure unless there’s a roof, and is really sweet, but sort of like living with a small fuzzy hurricane! (Although he only lives here on weekends, so my two seem especially calm when he goes home.) His funniest habit is that he likes to run laps around the coffee table. Not zooms. Laps. A very constant running speed, no particular urgency or purpose, just around the coffee table, again and again, and again! Very strange…

As far as I know there isn’t any limit on unlimited hay – I guess he’s not a grazer though.
Nope, not a grazer…a GORGER!
I can’t help myself…more cute pictures!

Sleepy bunnies
The following is Miss Lizzy trying to give me a heart-attack with her back-of-the-sofa balancing-act (she loves it up there…unfortunately, she has no balance, and I have to swoop in on a regular basis and keep her from falling off the back and getting stuck between the sofa and the wall!)

“What?! I am the pretty-pretty princess and I will NOT be told to get down!”

“Lalala! I can’t hear you!”

“Ooo, looky out there! OOPS! Lost my balance just a little…think I’ll lean on these curtains… MOTHER! I AM NOT GOING TO FALL!”

“See?! Perfectly balanced! So there!”
….and then she fell off. Forward, luckily, onto the sofa, instead of off of it. Silly bit!
LMAO!!!!
It was VERY much a “squirt bottle wedding”!
That’s a great expression!!
Glad your around again! And I’m so happy to hear Lizzie and Robbie are ‘back together’ (Hopefully not a hollywood on again off again romance
)
AHA! Piccies finally came through today! ^_^ Sooo adorable!
Can you get Thumper to hold still enough for a snap? I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a pic of him on the board…have we?
aaww, she’s beautiful. I think she watching for the postman to bring her BinkyBunny order that you didn’t know about…lol
Hey. Lightchick, great to hear from you!
The happy couple look ADORABLE. I especially like dizzy Miss Lizzy and her poses along the couch.
I am so glad to hear the Lizzie and Robbie have “tied the knot”! We have missed you around here!
Julie
What great news! And I love that “in process tipping over” photo
I agree with K&K – “squirt bottle wedding” needs to be a new term around here…

And LC, I hope you don’t mind if the mad capper put some tags on your sweet bunnies’ piccies…

I LOVE captions! Tag anything you want MM!

MM! Good job!
Hello L Chicky! Glad you found your way back! So heartening to see pics of Lizzie ans Robbie together again. Hehe, we all here act like we’re children of separated parents with those two – anxiously waiting for them to miraculously love each other again!
Love that one of them sleeping under the willow tent – Sweet!

MM, you asked for Thumper pics! I know I’ve posted some before, but here are more (like you all mind seeing bunny pictures, right?)

“Hi Dad!”

“Uhhhh….I think I’s killed my hooman!”

“Yes?”

When he’s not running in circles, he likes to flop on top of me. Cuddle-bunny!

Haha! There is!
HAHAHA!!!
