Excuse me, but can I have Winston? :inlove:

I love them both, they are so cute. Goodluck with bonding!

I think you guys all haveto back off and let me have Winston. Since I already have one Winston, 2 in my house would be just lovely.

No way! That would be too much cuteness in one house. Thats illegal or something.

As of this weekend, I've had Winston for a whole year! He's grown a lot...

the little monster on his first day home!

And above is the big monster now... Winstonhates being picked up, and will lunge and grunt if you try to catch him, but once youdo,he's a big attention hog.

Pip misses being stalked by his friend Mr. Kitty Mittens in the picture frame.

Wary eyes...

Playing in my favorite new toy... the Paper Bag! I never knew something could be more fun than running up and down the stairs, but I was clearly mistaken.

King of the suitcase

I spent a lot of time out playing yesterday.I freaked out when mommy tried to pick me up to bring me out of mycondo. She always does it very gently, but i still dont like it. But, Once I was out, and she was done messing up my mohawk, i had a lot of fun. I explored the living room some more... zoomed around the carpet, trying tosee how much of a mess I could make. Then I checked out all of the furniture but Pip interupptedmy escapadeswith all the noise inside his paper bag... he's always making noise, I knew there was a reason i didnt want to be his friend. My favorite part of the day though was hopping on and off the suitcase. This is a new addition to the furniture selection... there's talk of it being put away in the garage, but I don't really like that idea. I can see everything from up there, and especially keep an eye on annoying Pip to make sure he doesnt escape from his pen and run onto my turf!

Here are some more pictures of the little guys. They are so energetic and personable and every day their personalities come out more. I noticed while Winston was hopping around that he might have sore hocks on the bottom of one of his feet. The one foot has a good size hairless patch that is slightly red, but not bloody or hugely inflamed. After reading up on it, I think maybe the bottom of his crate is contributing to it. When not running around, he lives in a large dog crate with a second level. The second level is made of NIC grids, with cardboard and polar fleece on top. On the bottom level, he has another fleece blanket, but he usually rolls it up. Otherwise, the bottom of the crate is a plastic tray. I'm going to try to put down some more cushioning on the floor. Is there anything else I can do to alleviate the problem for when he's inside the crate?

Bonding Session 1:

Today was our first try at it! I put them together in the kitchen, which is pretty neutral territory. I had to separate them once or twice, but otherwise, they ignored each other a bit with some little nips here and there.

Playing with the blue towel. They both started digging on it at the same time.

Last year, I took some pictures of Winston to include in my Easter cards. Everyone loved him and He is just so photogenic I couldn't resist a second photo shoot this year with Pip too. Pip feels pretty strongly about giving bunnies for pets on Easter... after all, that is how he ended up outside in Connecticut as a baby, and then ultimately in rescue. I took about 40 shots in all. It turns out it's pretty hard to photograph two rabbits when Winston contemplated giving Pip a few good nips, and Pip decided he was going to eat everything and anything (the basket, Winston's ears, or his personal favorite a bite of Marshmellow Peep.) The photo shoot ended after both got antsy, and Pip successfully chomped an ear of the marshmellow peep.

"Mommy, I told you last year, I don't like sitting in baskets!"

Pip says bunnies are not for Easter! He also says that he's glad he was rescued from the outside before something ate him.

Love Bunnies... sometimes... for a minute.

I love the bonding photos! I cant believe I missed them, how gorgeous are they together?! You dont know how badly I want to steal Winston!

I cant see the Easter photos for some reason..

Any more bonding sessions lately? Ive found a spray bottle with water works well for nipping

Winston is the disapproving rabbit of the day. He was pretty angry with me for this picture!

Happy Easter Everyone!

entry from the bunnies:

Our momwent away almost 12 days ago with her work to Tampa. We've never been to Tampa, but we hear it is very warm unlikewhere we live now. We don't think we'd like it. We're pretty sad she ditched us for Easter. Hasn't she heard we bunnies are sooo much coolerthan coachingkids? We hear she comes home in twooo days and we are very excited for treats, and to run up and down the stairs again. Chances are she'll probably start up with that nonsense of making us try to like each other like she started after Christmas. Does this mean we have to continue these ridiculous play sessions in the kitchen? Really mom, WHO plays in the kitchen? there's nothing for us to jump on there. Well i guess we are excited for you to come back anyways...

A friend sent me this site where you can put together photo shows... so naturally i needed to do one with the bunnies. http://www.photoshow.com/watch/cV8sU6Zq

Took some videos of the bunnies over the last few days tof course, once i turned the camera on, theystruggled to find cute things to do. If you can tolerate the annoying high pitched voice I tend to use everytime I talk to them, they do have their cute moments.
