The Nethie Boys

[Little Bay Poo]

Today we clipped Billy and Ronnie's nails. I took the opportunity to snap some photos of both because I think they look cutest when they are upside down. As always, the bunnies were NOT amused.


I'm no good at captioning pictures, so feel free to make your own captions! Here's some shots of Billy:

Ronnie began his disapprovals even before the nail clipping...he knew what was coming.

It didn't stop our plans:

After we were done, Ronnie was still a little upset:

Let me think now, what exactly could I do to get even? maybe I shall pee on their pillows! or chew up their favorite shoes..... or maybe bite them at my first chance! They should be afraid......

Hee hee, the disapproving looks are undeniable and so darn cute! Great pics of Ronnie! He's precious:inlove:.

The ones of Billy on his back are PRICELESS! You make me want to run out and get a nethie, even though I'm not too fond of them, lol.
SO cute!

Juliew19673 my bags are packed and I'll be waiting in my area for you to come get me, however we will still need to give 15% of my residuals of film/photo income to Little Bay Poo, but my disapproving looks will more than make up for the cost of saving me from this Hell"....

"Ronnie juliew19673 here,am booking plane tickets for us both as we speak"..:run:

Also, Happy Gotcha Day Ronnie! - your so lucky to be SO loved and glad that you were "got" by the slaves that have you..

EEEeeeee!! ronnie and billy on their backs!!! too cute for words!!! i dont get it, billy is so hyper (right?) and you still manage to get him to lie quietly on his back? i haven't managed to do that with my bunnies, they kick and flip themselves over whenever i try, and i get the silent treatment from them after that lol!

to cut their nails, we need 2 people: my husband carries the bunny, while i cut the nails

Ditto for me and my hubby regarding the nail cutting.

Ronnie and Billy are cute in the upright position; they're downright adorable when reclined. :biggrin2:

Hahaha! What you see with the still pictures is Billy "seemingly" calm and composed. But what is really going on is the kicking, flipping himself over, and general spazzing out that comes with nail clipping. He's gotten a little better with it over time so there are longer periods of calmness where I can actually work with cutting a few nails, but inevitably he will freak out at least 3 times during a session. It's definitely a two person job.

The funny thing is Ronnie looks completely terrified in his pictures, but he is actually much better to work with than Billy...although maybe it's because he's scared stiff! Billy is more of an ANGRY bunny. He's very vocal. When we were finished clipping his nails he went into his cage, promptly stomped at us to let us know he was pissed, and then sat himself down in the back of the cage to fix his ruffled fur.

oh yes! Yohji does that too! as though by holding him, we humans have defiled him in some horrible manner! he spends forever grooming himself after we put him down! :X

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool to have someone offer to do a portrait of Billy! I even ordered a couple of mugs with the print on it because I thought it would be a nice little keepsake. They should be coming in the mail in a few days When they come in I'll have to get a picture of Billy sitting next to the Billy mug

As a side note (and I'm probably only writing this because I'm a little frustrated today) my lovely mother expressed her feelings at my stupidity at letting someone make a portrait of Billy and putting prints up for sale. I was only trying to make small talk with her (as I'm constantly failing at engaging her in normal conversation without me coming out emotionally wounded). I thought the Billy portrait was a nice neutral, trivial topic to bring up. WRONG.

She told me not only should I be getting merchandise for free, but I should also have made the person who did the portrait PAY ME for the right to use Billy's likeness! I don't care about money...I only ever wanted people to enjoy watching my bunnies like I enjoy them, and I certainly never wanted to charge anyone for it! And no, she is not a business woman...this is just one example among hundreds where she felt the need to turn things around to make me feel stupid. I cannot remember a single time when she has been supportive of anything I've ever said or done. I'm sure there were times, but they are so outweighed by negativity that I can't recall them. ullhair:

Ok, rant off.

 

[juliew19673]

some Mothers can definetly be your worst critic; I bet she was treated the same by her Mother (usuall is a pattern as afew of my friends have your same problem)..

As for Billy, yes I wouldfeel it to be quite the compliment that someone wanted to do his portrait - he is that well known on youTube. Can't wait to see the photo of Billy next to the Billy Mug.. Kinda feel bad for Ronnie being left out - so perhaps I'll work on a Ronnie portrait - I can do stick figures pretty darn well!

Most people pay to have that done. An pay they do. Alot actually.
