| Chopper likes to groom Joey, and Joey is obviously not afraid at all :) |
| Closeup of Chopper grooming Joey while Joey is eating. He licks Joey's ears, and his neck and back, even the top of his head. Joey walks around with a spikey hairdo from Chop's licking :) |
| Chopper likes to lie on the floor by Joey. It's almost like he wants to protect or guard Joey. |
| Chopper sometimes gets up and walks around, but goes back to check on Joey every 30 seconds or so. He sniffs him, gives him a lick, and then walks away again. He's so protective!! |
| Brian was in the kitchen, and Chopper was looking at him, but he still wouldn't get up away from Joey :) |
| Often, Chopper lays down as close to Joey as possible. He was so close in this picture, that Joey's whiskers were tickling his ears! He shook his ears sometimes, but still wouldn't move away :):) |
| If Joey ever felt threatened, he has plenty of safe places to hide, and can go in his cage at anytime. He CHOOSES to come out with Chopper, though! |
| |
| Notice how both of Joey's ears are down--he's not a lop. He originally had both ears up. I only see him do this when he's REALLY relaxed or ready to sleep in his cage. Normally, it's one ear up, one ear down :) |
| They couldn't be more than two inches from each other, and Joey is just munching! |
| This is Joey lying on the kitchen floor. Rabbits will never do this unless they feel absolutely secure and comfortable. This is a very vulnerable position for a bun. Chopper even came up to sniff Joey, and Joey never flinched or got up!! |

| Finishing his song :) |
| Jack is checking on Joey, who curled up in his litterbox because it makes him feel secure. |
| Joey is not afraid of Jack at all. |
| |
| I heard this "grunch, grunch, grunch" coming from the kitchen, and I thought Jack was having a late supper...here's what I found instead!! |
