Hey everyone, remember me? Gosh, I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted here! I’m sorry I kind of disappeared off the face of the planet, life became crazy over the past couple of years and BinkyBunny.com kind of fell on the back burner -although be assured, I have used it a few times for reference. I am going to try and start being on more regularly now.
In a nutshell? During the past two or so years, I moved to Orlando, worked some cool jobs, lost some cool jobs, changed my aspirations a bit, and generally more or less fell out of the happy childhood nest into the cold hard world of independent adulthood. To compound this, my mom had to sell my childhood home and move to take care of her aging parents 1500 miles away. These past few years have definitely been the years that everyone is entitled to where the world smacks you upside the head and tells you how small and defenseless you are. Basically, a load of stress. XD
Little-Bit and Peter are doing well and are bonded nicely now. It took a long time for Little-Bit to warm up and groom Peter regularly, but she’s become quite fond of him I think. They love to snuggle and have never fought. Unfortunately their size difference has caused some negative developments, namely that Peter can be just a little bit of a bully and likes to bowl right into Little-Bit. Therefore Little-Bit, already being the high-stress bunny that she is, has become more or less paranoid about where Peter is at any given moment so she can avoid being shoved. I’m working on trying to remedy this…but anyway, this is definitely something I will post in the behavior forum!
Little-Bit still has to have her molars trimmed every so often, although unfortunately (and this makes me feel terrible) this year has been particularly tight and I have had to go prolonged periods of time without having that done. Fortunately her molar spurs are slow-growing and small, and the vet always reports that there is no aggravation inside her mouth due to it. I know it can’t be fun for her though.
If anyone recalls, the way I found out she had molar spurs years ago was because she had been spitting out her pellets and had choked a few times. Spitting out her pellets became been my signal it was time for another trim, but since I have been unable to this year, my remedy has been to wet both bunnies’ food so it is not a danger to her. Which has turned out to work great as a temporary solution. Actually I’ve found this to be greatly beneficial for both buns –their poop has been FANTASTIC and neither has had GI issues! (Why doesn’t everybody wet their bunnies’ pellets..?)So yeah, plugging along here. How is everyone and your buns?
Edit: Also, I have to mention. My Mom recently got a bunch of old rolls of film developed, and we went through them last night. Unexpectedly, there were a few long-lost photos of me with Binkles when she was a baby. Wow. Many tears were shed.

Helloooo! I just found your pm before then came to see if you’d posted. :p
Thanks for the update on you and the bunnies. I have wondered after you from time to time. Wow, finding those pictures must have been bittersweet. I remember what Binkles meant to you.So pleased to hear from you again **runs off to find MimzMum**

SARAH!!!!!!!! (glomps you)
OMG…I’ve wondered and wondered how you’ve been! I am so glad to see you back!
(does a happy dance)
I’ve had a pretty rum year myself…Mimzy got head tilt in June and Pip had a scary seizure. My family is kind of coming apart and the latest development is we may have to think of moving from Alaska. (That’ll be a new one for everyone here.) I’m starting to feel very old and yet still have kids at home who are having trouble finding their own wings.
Glad to hear Lil Bit and Peter are a couple…even if he is being a bit of a poop. Lol…..
Pictures of you and Binkies….Awwwwwwwwwwww…..would love to see those!
Haven’t been back to DeviantArt since making my piddly account…they’ve probably shelved me as inactive long ago!Looking forward to seeing you here more often. I’ve missed your posts.
(Thanks for the heads up, Jerz! This was a much needed smile for my day!)

Thanks LPT!
Mimz! <33 I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time too. It kind of seems like my family is coming apart at the seams too, what with my mom moving so far away and all, but also because we've had so many deaths recently. No one ever warned me that my twenties would be fraught with losing so many of the older generations of my family…though it makes sense, I suppose.
Gosh that’s terrible to hear about Pip and Mimz! Are they both okay now? Did you find out what the causes were? Seizures are scary things.
I’ll be sure to post the pictures of me and Binkles when my mom sends me the jpegs. I haven’t been on DA in a while either, lol. My aspirations have kind of shifted a bit. My focus is still on art, but instead of going into character animation, I want to do more technical art. See, when I moved to Central Florida I became completely obsessed with the Space Program. Since the Kennedy Space Center is here, I’ve been exposed to a lot of it, and I just completely caught the ‘space bug’. Now my goal is be an artist in the space industry –which sounds outlandish at first, but actually it’s completely feasible. I already almost got my dream job working at the Kennedy Space Center as an artist last year. They called me out for an interview and everything, it was amazing. (Actually, they called me on my birthday!)
I’m a nerd, lol.
As far as my studies and things, I’m going to school part time and working full time. (Well, usually anyway…I’m currently ‘in between’ jobs, but…) So far I’ve held two professional graphic art positions. One was supposed to be permanent, but alas…the economy.
