The Nethie Boys - 2009

[Little Bay Poo]

Ok, here we go...

A link to my Flickr account (which I've also been horrible about updating, but have added some things in the past week):

And a Flickr set where I've added photos of Billy binkying:

I'll start with Ronnie, since I have less pictures to post of him. What can I say about Ronnie? He circles, humps, circles, humps, flops, looks at me pathetically, and goes crazy for apple chips and oats. He is incredibly difficult to get photos of, whether he be in his little area or running around the rest of the apartment. This kid just never stops. I've found that I have to aim the camera blindly and hope for the best. No time for lining up shots or focusing...he's gone much too quickly!

He looks pretty good (non-tilty) here:

I had to tempt him with lettuce to get him to sit still for pictures:

Now for Billy.

Billy is still a character. He can be sweet, calm, and loving, but also mischievous and hyper. He likes to put his head down for pets and tooth purrs when he's enjoying it. He lets me balance things on his head and gets rather confused, thinking that I am just trying to pet him.

Billy still loves to binky. He recently outdid himself and was so tired that he slept the whole following day.

Good morning, Billy

My first attempt at catching a Billy yawn, but I was thwarted by the cage bars!

Would you like to come out, Billy?

What's that in your mouf?

Alright, alright...I'll let you out. But get that piece of bunny's bed out of your mouf!

More Billy pictures in a few minutes...

We finished some cookies, and I had to try this out:

Chef Billy

I bought some props in the doll section of the craft store. I can't use these glasses again because Billy twitched and poked his eye. Was runny and irritated for the night.

Tried to set up a country girl theme, but the hat was too small for the wig

Billy didn't seem to mind. He was enjoying his hay

Made another setup for some Halloween pictures

Tried the wig again, but Billy didn't like it

The hat balanced well enough on its own

Billy cycled between angry

And confused

Billy has also been binkying a lot lately. He never gets tired of it

Frolicking on a spring day

Look at those rippling muscles

And the incredible effort

Woah, I'm beat

Nice and snuggly

No time to rest, must prepare for the next round of binkies

Tee hee! ::clicks heels together::

And there you have it!

OMG your bunny's are way to cute.

 

[Fancy77]

Those Bunnies r so adorable and u take great pics...wow

 

[NorthernAutumn]

Wow!!
Honestly, very few bunny photos have the power to make me coo the way Billy and Ronnie do

Your photo skillz are some wicked, Robin!!! I've always enjoyed them, but CLICKING HEELS???!!!

Doesn't get better than that.

I think you should publish a book of joyful bunny pics.

LOL'd like crazy at Chef Billy

Thank you thankyou thankyou for the update!!!!

So glad your boys are doing well! I know Ronnie looks sad, but it sounds like he's living the good life!

Yea that.

I wish I could have taken pictures like you take when I had my foster boy, Andy, here. He could binky up a storm, but I never had the camera ready. Besides, I'm sure my pics wouldn't turn out half as good as yours...

Billy still steals my heart every time I see his pics. He is such a handsome little man, especially when he is doing what he loves most -- binkies!

How do you know if Ronnie is happy? He always looks so disapproving in his pics, that I would find it difficult to imagine him at his happiest. Good to see his tilt is only minimal and that he is back to his usual antics.

Thanks for the update.

Those binky pictures are TDF! Oh, those boys are precious!!!!

 

[Little Bay Poo]

Thanks all! Glad the pictures were enjoyable :biggrin2:

NorthernAutumn, I'm of the mindset that photography (at least for me) is more LUCK than skill, granted the right tools are available. I take hundreds of pictures and get 1 or 2 that I like (if that). The mid-binky shots would not be possible without a willing participant, a DSLR camera (point and shoots don't cut it), and my speed light. Without a speed light, my binky shots wouldn't happen.

myheart, you know that Ronnie actually binkies more now, after his illness? I guess that's how I can tell he is happy. Unfortunately, with his tilt, he can't binky properly and will land on his belly! He's not as adventurous as Billy and gave up trying full on binkies a while ago, but still does a head binky when I come in to see him

Awe... that brought a big smile to my face the moment I read it. I am so glad that Ronnie gets excited enough to do head-binkies for you. Head-binkies are still so much fun to see.... Anything to know he is a happy little guy.
