The Adventures of Mouse, Chalk, Barney and Snowy

[Becca]

Cute pictures :shock:

Barney and Snowy just happen to be one of my favourite bonded couples ...EVER!!

I have had an amazing idea for a really cool 'photoshootylike' picture LOL

Get a white background and a black background and stick them together so its like half white half black then put Snowy on the black half and Barney on the white half... LOL!!

I get crazy idea's sometimes! :?

 

[mouse_chalk]

LOL!

That is actually a good idea Becca! Barney often doesn't show up well on dark backgrounds, and Snowy doesn't show up on white backgrounds, so they would be well-balanced!


I am so proud of myself!! I just trimmed Barney's nails for the first time EVER! First time I've done any of my buns, except maybe 2 paws of Chalk a year ago lol. YAY!!!!! I have Ali and her brilliant videos to thank.... I just sort of thought 'hey, I can do this, why am I being such a scaredy cat?' And I did it! :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance: Thanks Ali!

The others are all ok at the moment luckily.... I suspect Mouse would not be so good and just lie there and take it

Great pics!

Gorgeous pictures, and you know I agree about Snowy, I think she's beautiful. Steve looks like a little boy on Christmas flushed with pleasure at holding a wonderful gift! I can see how he loves Snowy.

Chalkie-walkie is soo sooo soooo cute too! I lover her face, and her colouring.

Teehee, you are so right! He looks like that whenever he sees any of the bunnies. He sort of gets this look of 'aww, I love them!' Anytime they do anything vaguely cute. Even if they just hop by actually lol. The other night he was worried about Chalk because she was sat in a funny position. He thought she looked uncomfortable, I thought she had just stretched and stopped midway or something. He still worried, so I went and picked her up and told her to go and tell Daddy she was ok. She hopped onto the sofa and went and sat on the back, right next to his face. He just sort of leaned his head on her and smiled, as if to say 'I'm so glad you're ok'. SO cute! I'm glad I picked a bunny-loving man, without even knowing it at the time

By the way, of course Chalk was fine! She was just sat sleeping with her bum up in the air LOL!


I weighed Barney this morning! He is exactly 6 1/2 lbs Oooh, he was mad at me for putting him in the tub on top of the kitchen scales lol!



Oh, and thanks for the lovely comments!

Well done for clipping Barney's claws!!

*Claps*

I can clip the front paws quite well but I think it might be worth checking out Ali's vids as I'm not always succcessful on the back ones!
Where did you find Ali's clipping vids?

Are those video's of your buns still not working?

 

[kherrmann3]

Do you try bunny-burrito-ing your buns to clip their nails? Just curious! I have to do that with Toby, and he breaks out of the burrito at least two-to-three times per pedicure! It gets the job done, though!

 

[NZminilops]

How were they keeping their nails short if you weren't already clipping them? Sorry if I missed that bit, I'm a lazy reader today .

Sakura HATES being upside down with a passion, she really freaks and stresses, I hate clipping her nails :?. I can do her front with her just sitting, I pick up one foot at a time and do them, but she has to go upsidedown for her back feet.

That is great that you were brave and did it, woohoo! :biggrin2:

Teehee! That's ok!

I was taking them to the vets lol.... :embarrassed:

To be fair, Chalk and Snowy have both had their fair share of operations this year, so we usually ask the vets to cut their nails at the same time. Saves stress on them. (Obviously we didn't ask this when Chalk had her emergency ops :?) They all just grow really slowly, so don't need doing more than every few months, max? We've even taken Mouse before and the vet has found nothing to clip! Mouse is fine to just be held and cuddled but she jumps a MILE when you try to prod her or do anything else. That's why I gave up trying and just took them in, because I was worried that she was freaking out so much and I was going to hurt her. Saying that, I've had a lot more practice with medicating bunnies and bunny buritos now lol, so I might find it a bit easier.

Barney didn't need a towel. He just laid on his back like a good boy, twicthing his fluffy nose at me! I strongly suspect the others will need to be wrapped up very well though lol. I think that I could manage Snowy and Chalk, but Mouse.... she's a different character! I'm also very thankful that Dotty has very very short nails at the moment lol so I don't need to worry about that just yet :shock: (Oops, sorry downstairs bunnies for mentioning Giant Black and White bunny in your blog!)


I can't remember if I wrote this further up or not either but Mouse and Chalk are now completely recovered from their VHD ***! They were very quiet and not so keen on the veggies for a couple of days (still eating a good amount, just not excited about food) but they're back to their normal cheeky happy selves now

 

[kherrmann3]

Not to mention the "other bunny" here, too, but wait until you have to trim her nails! One kick and you'll have a black eye!

Good for Barney, just giving up and letting you clip his nails. I bet those were evil thought nose-twitchies!

 

[mouse_chalk]

GUESS WHAT???


I just did Chalk's nails!!! YAAAAAYYYY!!!!

I got some very angry honking, some paws in my face, and at one point she struggled out of the bunny burito and scurried back to the cage.... But I just went and got her back and wrapped her up again... I got all 4 paws done!

[align=center]
YAAAAY!


[align=left]I know it seems a silly thing to be scared about, but I have a sort of phobia of sharp objects around people/animals lol. I'm ok if say a nurse is using a needle, but if anyone carries a kitchen knife of pair of scissors near me I run away terrified. So this is kind of a big thing for me- I managed to secure my bunnies, wield a fairly sharp object (the clippers), get the job done without hurting anyone. I know I wouldn't, but it scares me anyway

[mouse_chalk]

I'm on a nail clipping roll! I've just done Snowy's nails as well! YAY!!!

:bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Glad to hear the have recovered and are back to themselves.

 

[mouse_chalk]

Eeek! I can't believe it's been so long since I updated this blog!! :shock:

To make amends, I return with lots of pictures of Mouse and Chalk :biggrin2:

They were very cuddled up on the floor earlier so I sneaked down there with my camera to capture the cuddly moment. Sadly they woke up and started hopping about, but I still managed to get some half-decent shots.....


Check out the bunny mouf!! :hearts::hearts::hearts:

Close-up:

I wasn't eating the broom, honest! (This is blurry, sorry )

Ok, you caught me red-handed...

'Why is Mouse biting my back?'

I wasn't biting Chalk's back!

And here is for my artsy shot....

*Please don't look at my big ears*

You think my ears are big? *mad*

Can I make the jump?

Errr... EXCUSE ME! I'm in the bathroom, if you don't mind!

Mouse and her ears again....

That's not a very nice thing to say!

BYE. Not talking to you now :X

But Mouse said it was tasty?

Stop....with.....FLASHY THING!

GOOD DAY!

I guess Mouse thought I needed more close-ups...

Must....chin...high...object!

GOOD DAY! I mean it this time!

That's all for now.... hope you enjoy

 

[kherrmann3]

[mouse_chalk]

Thanks Kelly!

Mouse says 'are my wips not kissable?' :cry1:

 

[Wabbitdad12]
