Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time since i have blogged last and since then I have sold out. However, recently I have been missing rabbits a lot and missing showing and the friends I've made so I have decided to come back. I am not going to be back in full force I am going to have 6 rabbits max. I am beyond excited though to welcome back Wagner's Genesis, ANR's Etienne, PJ Pride's Deuce and Wagner's Xavier. I would like to thank everyone who sold them back to me. I can't wait to get them. I would also like to thank Julie because she encouraged me to get back in and sold me Xavier back. I can't wait to get a fresh start.I am excited to start everything again and do it all right. I am getting indoor pet cages just because they are cheaper and I think it will be easier overall. It's going to be quite exciting and I wish everyone was here already! I can't wait either. We are moving so I won't have my shed anymore which is kind of a bummer but I will have a garage that the rabbits can live in so that will be nice.
I'll keep you all updated!

Etienne's First Leg
Today as I was driving home from school, I went to the end of the drive way and got the mail. As I was sifting through the mail I saw something for me! I was already super excited because I never get mail so this was an exciting day! Then I opened it and saw Etienne's leg! I was so proud of him!! He get BOSV!! He's such a little cute guy! This is very monumental because it is my first leg that I earned with a rabbit and it also Etienne's first leg! He's such a little monkey boy! I showed it to him and he tried to eat it! I think he was really excited too haha :) There was 20 Solids in the second show so he did pretty good! :) Shown by 11 different exhibitors.
I am so proud of my little ET he's such a good boy! I know he should sit at home for the next couple of shows but I can't let him do that! He's too cute, even though he may not do very well as a senior I think that I am still going to take him anyways!

Babies! Human and Rabbit!
So this title is kind of weird but oh well! Currently I have a baby, not a real one but like one of those real care dolls like that are just like real babies but are really fake and stuff so I am waiting for it to do something so I decided while I sit here and watch it I will blog about it haha.
Anyways! Now on to the baby bunnies which are super cute! Pooh and Piglet are super cute already. They are weaned and Bling went to go have a litter at Julie's house then she will be coming back! I am really excited to see how they will turn out. Currently they are looking really nice :) Then there is little Xavier and Xava. They are 4 weeks old now and are wild children! They are oh so cute and very bouncy. I am excited to watch them grow up because it's Etienne's first off spring! Hopefully many more to come. He's such a cutie too... That's all the babies I have right now :( but hopefully in 30 days or so I will have some more!
I have Davi due May 3rd which is soonish, today I can palpate her so hopefully she is expecting! Then Demi is due the same time but I dont think she took so I will try try again. I am determined to get her bred! Then Genesis, Tiujana and Toy will all be bred end of may!

Shed Remodel - 2011
There's a big Shed Remodel in store!
I am super duper uber tuber luber (other words that rhyme with uber) excited!
I guess I will explain the layout... Currently where the shelf is I am going to be putting all of the cages there for a couple reason 1. It's better air flow 2. It will give me more cage space and 3. I just wanted a change haha :) But I am getting a new 6 hole which has holes that are 24x24 so those can be used with doe and litters with smaller litters and just to get the kids some more kicking room! Then I will be getting 4 new pet cages from here (http://www.petmountain.com/product/cages/11442-504595/super-pet-my-first-home-3-pack-assorted-colors-.html) I highly recommend them! They have awesome stuff for an even awesome-er price! Soo then those cages will go where the 8 hole is now so then it will be like a little pet stacker but they are going to go on the wall with the window so there is still plenty of room and such... then on the other wall where the maternity cages were I am going to get a cabinet and have that house all of the like grooming supplies and everything else then I will put my carriers either in the loft or next to the little cabinet thing... That's the plan we will see how it goes! But all in all I am really super excited!! This should all be done in about 2 weeks!

Catch Up Time! - Hamburg Show - Post 1 of 100000
Well just like the title says it's Catch Up Time! Sorry I haven't posted since March! I have been super busy and just dont feel like blogging sometimes haha but oh well what can you do?
I guess we will start off with Hamburg Show. Hamburg was really fun and I liked both the judges. I thought that they placed fairly and did an excellent job. In the first show Mary Ellen S___ I forget her last name but she was the judge for Show A. Etienne did pretty good he placed middle of his class but it's time for him to sit back and grow haha. Even though he won't actually do that because I like showing no matter if I win or loose haha. Kennelly didn't do so hot which kind of determined my decision that he isn't really helping the herd and should go to a nice 4-H or Pet home. He's such a sweetheart so let me know if you are interested :) Genesis did awesomee okay just kidding not really she got 6 out of 8 but oh well what can you do,she normally consistently places the top 3 but I guess not this show. Then Filbert got DQed because I put the wrong tattoo on whoops! I put FILB and it's FILBT :( oh well it happens. Then Toy won her class!! YAY! She lost to the senior doe for BOS because she wasn't as developed and still has the baby coat which is understandable.
Then in Show B the judge was Ben Haagen, who I really like. He is a really nice judge and goes through all the animals and then he explains a lot why they were placed where they were. Etienne did pretty good he got 4th out of like 10ish I think, but he said that he just needs to sit back and grow up some. He's a nice buck though :) Then Genesis got 2nd because she was being a little poophead and wouldn't pose so he couldn't really evaluate her that well then she's got some molting issues going on but he also really liked her. I am so proud of Genesis, she's such a sweet girl! :) Then Filbert got 3rd or 4th I cant remember I had to go and change the tattoo so he didn't get DQed this time haha. It seems like at every show they are always getting DQed at least someone is! Then Toy won her class again!! She's on a roll! She's so nice and loverable and she lost to the same Senior Doe.
Then as Julie and I were leaving we stopped to deliver some rabbits for Transport and then we ran into Pam and Traci and Traci had this amazing buck for sale and well I felt him and Julie and I both looked at each other like one of us has to get him and well that would be me! So introducing The Boyz Deuce! He's such a wide wide wide wide massive buck. He's a little over 4lbs so hopefully he won't be for Leesport but you never know! :) I am so in love with him though. I can't wait for little Deucey's! haha :) Thanks Traci! Then we got Filbert of course who is awesome! Thanks Eileen! Filbert is such a big love bug, he reminds me of a puppy and he's very blonde at times, he's constantly putting his feet in his water dish so I need to switch him over to a bottle I think haha :) But I think Filbert and Genesis will make some really nice babies! Then I got Tiujana from Ashlee. Thanks Ashlee! Tiujana I call her Tiggy for some reason but she's a super short doe with a really nice crown so I am hoping she will shorten and fix some of the crowns here. I am excited to show her though and see how she does :) Then I saw a fuzzy lop in the raffle and I figured if he was still there at the end of the show I would go see if there was a chance I could get him. Sure enough he was still there so they handed out new tickets to people who wanted him and there was probably 7 other people and I won! I was sooo excited I never win anything like that. So to say the least I was astatic. He's a registered buck named Copper. He's 5 years old but boy he can still have babies. I am excited to see how his and Toy's babies.

Landon's Day at the Spa
Landon is my broken orange pet Elop for those who don't know! He's such a love and is so friendly. He was hopping around the shed today and well he's a pig and he like rolls in stuff and I am not sure what he rolled in but anyways so he was really dirty. So I brought him in and we just kinda chilled for a while until he started to smell a lot so then I was giving him a bath and he like broke one of his toe nails poor little buddy! But I patched him up and we continued on with our bath. Weirdly he didn't enjoy it at all hahaha, anyways he's such a lover and put up with it. So then we cuddled some more for a while so he could dry and once he was finally dried I clipped his teeth he has an under bite and then I put a diaper on him so he could hop around the house! I never have tried putting a diaper on any of them before but I think it's something I might have to try more often now because it works! He looks so cute and there's no mess to clean up! It's just slightly awkward walking through Wal-Mart with a pack of diapers but oh well I love the bunnies!

York Show!
The York show was pretty fun not one of my favorites. It was really crowded and Julie and I got there late so as we were entering they were doing SSB so we grabbed Jacque and Kennelly and ran them up to the table. Then Julie unfortunately missed her class for Harper her Tort Wooly :( But it was a fun show, just really crowded and hard to walk through. Our next show is Washington which I am really looking forward to. I am hoping I will be able to scrape up enough money to buy a 6 hole from martins where each cage compartment is 24x24 so that'd be like perfect! Genesis was our high point of the day she placed 3rd! yay goo Genesis! Etienne placed 5th in SJB so I am proud of that too! It was an open only show so that was okay so I am proud of their showings in open! :) Next show is Washington, PA on 3/20!

Sitting and Waiting
Currently I am sitting and waiting for Polar's Orajel to dry on his ear so I can tattoo him again ... yes again I am not very good at tattooing so often I have to do it more than once haha. but oh well I am getting ready for the York show tomorrow yay! I am excited to go to it but I don't really have that night before show excitement for some reason. I love being at the shows but idk for some reason this show it just doesn't seem like it's tomorrow. It's just gonna be me and Julie tomorrow so no April or Chrissy which will be also weird. I am showing Polar,Pandora,Genesis,Kennelly,Etienne and if Ruby isn't prego then I will be showing her too! I am excited to show Genesis the most I think to see how she does. She will be in the SJD class so hopefully there will be some competition. Polar Pandora and Etienne are all going up against each other soo obviously we can only have one winner and hopefully it will be one of mine! haha :) UHmmm what else Oh yeah Jacque will be shown by Julie but he will be showing against Ken ... Ken's gonna pull out his BIS this time I feel it haha.. The York show is all open so I am not sure if it's that big of a show or what so I guess we will see when we get there! I guess this is totally just rambling and everything so I guess I will go finish tattooing
I will let you guys know how the show goes!

Angoras....
This post will be all about Angoras haha :)
So I can't decide I know I definitely want at least one angora maybe more I just don't know! I thought about getting a stacker of angoras like 4 of them maybe but then I am not sure. I think I am going to get a pair probably. I want to get fuzzy lops still too but I am running out of room which I didn't really think was possible in my shed. I guess if I utilized my space better I wouldn't run out of room haha. But here's my plan to get an 8 hole have 4 of the holes be for angoras then 4 for juniors/hollands then get 2 more of the smaller 18x22 or whatever they are cages so then that'd make it like a 10 hole so then that'd be 10 more cages then I could have 4 cages for hollands and 4 cages for fuzzy lops then I think I'd get another stack of maybe 2 cages like a 2 hole with each hole being 18x24 maybe? orrr better idea!!! I could have the 8 hole be for fuzzy lops then the 4 smaller cages be for juniors then I could get 2 - 24x36 cages I think that'd be big enough for the angoras or maybe at 30x36 I will have to measure how wide my shelf is and get customized cages from martins because I could stack the angora cages on the shelf. Then I could utilize my loft more and put all my random stuff up there that I don't really use that often so then the shelf wouldn't feel so crowded. I am seeing in the summer a huge shed remodel which includes a new 8 hole martins so it matches my other 8 hole then 2 of the huge cages probably pointerhill so I can have them shipped and 2 more of the smaller cages.... okay sooo who has the check book?!
I need to star this blog post or something so I know this is the one where I talk about what I want to do so I know what to do when I have the money to do it haha
OH By the way Idina - Palpated positive :D Sahar- Palpated Positive :D Davi - Palpated Negative D:
Sahar is due on Sunday when I am at the show of course she's such a squirrel so idk what kind of a mother she will be then Idina is due on thursday that week! I am so excited. Blings babies are so cute! They have their eyes opened and are just trying food and binkying all the time... i love bebies!

A Special Thanks
I just wanted to take time to say Thanks to April and Julie and Chrissy for all they have done for me. All 3 of them have been there in their own ways and without them there is no way I would still be in this. They have made such a big impact on my life in general not to mention my bunny life.
April is always there no matter what when my crazy family gets in the way she understands and she calms me down and always knows what to say. She also helps me shop for bunnies even though they aren't always the most logical decisions none the less April is always there :)
Julie is good for a laugh all the time. She's very funny and she always cheers me up. She also thinks a lot like me so then we get a long really well and she understands my weird train of thought. She also helps me make good smart logical rabbit decisions and she is so funny and she can put up with me for a while so that's good :)
Chrissy oh Chrissy what would I do without her! She is my buddy we talk all the time we are both newbs at this whole rabbit world and the weird stuff no one else would know she knows. She also knows what to say to me all the time.
I love you guys so much and you guys mean the world to me! Thanks for everything you do and all you do!! Thanks for sticking with me through everything and understand and not getting annoyed haha :)

No blogginngggg
Sorry for the no posting I haven't really been in the mood to blog nothing really exciting either. Uhmm the most exciting thing is Bling's babies are slowly opening up their eyes so that's good they are definitely oranges and so cute. I need to get new pictures of them. I think they are a buck and a doe I am not totally sure but they are both different so one has to be a buck and one has to be a doe. I already have a favorite it's head is a lot wider than the other so I hope it stays like that. Nothing else really happening everyone's good same old same old

Boredddd
Well I am beyond bored so I made a video tour of the shed and well I posted it on youtube! bahah :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmmWS4xTq-E
In case you want to watch it haa
Anyways, So I cleaned the shed today. I got rid of a bunch of stuff so that's good, a bunch of random mismatching water bottles and other stuff like that. I am really excited to paint the shed finally. I want to paint it white I think with swirls of light blue I am thinking. I am going to try to rope Julie and April into coming over and A helping paint or B just keep me company or C come over after it's painted haha :) I am gonna try to rope Julie into painting the blue swirl things too because she's an awesome artist!
I am thinking I am going to get this stack of 6 that pointerhill has it's like 6 15x22 inch cages so I am hoping to use that then the other 2 cages which would make a stack of 8 strictly for juniors since nothing else would fit in them ahah :) but with the upcoming litters I am hoping I will have it in time for them. In theory I should. It's only about $130 or so. My hours at work picked up a bunch so that's awesome :D so I am happy with that which means I can in turn afford more bunny stuff! haha. Although after these cages I will officially be at the max number of cages I want/Can afford/Can fit in the shed haha so that's good!
Sorry this post is so random well I will ttyl!

I am really excited to paint the shed finally. I want to paint it white I think with swirls of light blue I am thinking. I am going to try to rope Julie and April into coming over and A helping paint or B just keep me company or C come over after it's painted haha :) I am gonna try to rope Julie into painting the blue swirl things too because she's an awesome artist!
I am thinking I am going to get this stack of 6 that pointerhill has it's like 6 15x22 inch cages so I am hoping to use that then the other 2 cages which would make a stack of 8 strictly for juniors since nothing else would fit in them ahah :) but with the upcoming litters I am hoping I will have it in time for them. In theory I should. It's only about $130 or so. My hours at work picked up a bunch so that's awesome :D so I am happy with that which means I can in turn afford more bunny stuff! haha. Although after these cages I will officially be at the max number of cages I want/Can afford/Can fit in the shed haha so that's good!
Sorry this post is so random well I will ttyl!

The Does
I only got 2 does at PasRBA. The first one being ANR's Davi. She's really sweet but is kind of scared in her cage still so she's a pain to catch but once your holding her she is so sweet! She has really nice type, an awesome body nice big head lacks a bit in the crown. I bred her with Repeat in hopes that with his head and crown that it will correct hers. I have a feeling and I think this should be a really nice pairing! I am super excited for it, she's due 3/11/11 so hopefully that date will creep up quickly too!!
Then I got ZBR's Sahar, she's a really crazy doe. I nicknamed her Squirrel lol. She has a nice body but lacks in overall mass but she has nice type for a BEW. I am impressed. She bred right away to Blowpop so that's exciting. I am excited to have little BEW babies! They are gonna be gorgeous! She's due 3/7/11. Should be a nice pairing. I don't want to get started in BEW but I did want a pair to see where I could go with BEW.

The Bucks!
So I guess I will post about my new rabbits haha :) JK I really am in love with them!! They are so nice and soooo cute. My favorite new one is Etienne by far. He is such a cuddle bug! He is always looking for attention and is so nice :) He has awesome type too! He got 4 out of 11 at PaSRBA I only showed him once and for him being a young Junior I would say that's pretty darn good! I am excited to have more show bunnies and to hopefully start winning!
The other buck I got was Blue Jeans I haven't really had much time to bond with him but he's a good breeder! haha :) I bred Sahar who you will hopefully hear about on Friday but he got the job done multiply times very fast! He has really nice type for a BEW the thing that stands out most to me is his H/E/C it's really nice! He has super thick ears as well. He doesn't pose very well just yet so we will have to work on him a bunch with that.
I think that's all the new bucks I got I hope at least haha. I thought I was getting more new rabbits than I actually did I got 2 BEW Bucks but I sold one a BEW doe so that makes 3 then 2 HL so that makes 5 then I got my old Mini lop buck back makes 6 and then a ML doe which makes 7 but I sold 2 so that makes 5 then I pre sold one so that makes 4 then I sold another one so that makes 3 and then my friend is borrowing my buck so in reality that only makes 2 new rabbits and I bought 2 new cages and they are empty. I bought some smaller ones strictly for growing out juniors until the 4 month mark when I decide if I will be keeping them or not so that way I can have a lot of space for them and stuff. So I am hoping to get more of those right now I only have 2 but I am hoping to get like 6 more which would make 8 junior cages which in my opinion would be perfect! Okay enough blabbing
TTYL!

Yay! I am back home! Pasrba was BEYOND fun! I got to meet a bunch of people like Zach from ZB Rabbitry then I met Kristen from Keep's Rabbitry and I also got to meet Paige and her mom from Narrow Gate Farm and Lisa and Faythe Young. I also met Elaina Schneck, Dawn Zimmerman (CONGRAGTS ON YOUR BOB!) and probably other people haha :)

(When I say We I am referring to Julie, Chrissy and I haha ) Then we went to bed and got up about 6 got to the show room about 7:30. I ended up not showing on Saturday but Julie showed and AWESOME doe she got from Hunter from PJ's Pride. She's a broken chestnut she's gorgeous! Then throughout the day I accumulated all my rabbits and bought a bunch of stuff haha :) Then I met Kristen from Keep's Rabbitry. She is so so nice!! :) Then after the day was over Julie and I went along with Kristen,Faythe,Paige, Brenda and Lisa to dinner and that was a lot of fun :) Julie and I are kind of quiet and shy I guess or chronically shy as Keep calls us :) but it was really fun, Paige was super entertaining too haha :) We went to some Tavern place that took FOREVER for us to get our drinks and it took an ETERNITY to get our food haha :) Anyways, that was really really really fun! So then we went to the hotel, Chrissy wasn't feeling well so she stayed home. Then Sunday I entered my new buck Etienne who is SO cute! I love him! :D He got 4 out of 11 with some TOUGH competition so I am proud of him :) Then we just kind of walked around and had an awesome weekend. I will post more on the new bunnies and more funny stories in the upcoming week!

Procrastination is a skill
Well we leave for PaSRBA in T- Minus 16 hours and 12 of those hours will be consumed with sleeping and school and homework. so that leaves me with like 4 hours to get ready which actually the more that I think about it is a big chunk of time! haha :) I am so excited!!!!!!! I went to the grocery store today and bought lots of food! I am so excited because thats what you do at rabbit shows is eat food haha :) It should be a fun time chilling with the homies, playing with rabbits, eating food, showing rabbits, what more could you ask for in life? I don't think anything! Right now I am printing pedigrees, and mapquest directions so I mean I guess that's a start right? I am bringing the following well rabbits, I decided to show Pandora I think not totally sure yet but I am gonna see when I get there what they think. I am gonna have to buy another 3 hole carrier I think soo that's not gonna be good on the old budget! haha on the plus side my parents gave me some money which is awesome!!! Thanks much parents if you are reading this haha :)
Anyways I think alls I have to do is clean carriers, clean the shed for this family coming to pick up a rabbit so I guess a clean shed would be good. I need to clean the cage out that they are getting too I think yeah I need to do that and move the rabbits currently in it into another cage. I guess I had more than I thought but the problem with doing it after school is it gets so dark out and who likes to do stuff when there are stray cats around? not me because I hate cats, I don't hate like anything except for cats haha. But I guess I will do that all tomorrow I am gonna be leaving school at like 10:50 so that will be good. I guess since my stuff finished printing I should stop and maybe start on my mountain of homework.

Home Stretch
It's a week before PaSRBA well technically THREE days before I leave for PaSRBA with Julie from Oak Ridge Rabbitry. I am soo soo soo soo soo soo soo soo excited! It's gonna be a blast. I have to get carriers clean from Farm show hehe whoops :) then I just have to cut nails, tattooes and stuff like that but I can do that at the show while I am bored waiting. Then I have to pack my stuff like clothes maybe so I don't smell all weekend, well we are going to be at a rabbit show sooo I guess it'd be okay to smell haha JK :) But then I have to pack the food bag which is SO important more important than bunnies. Haha this blog post makes me seem like I am a slob but really I am not ..... well most the time I am not hahah, anyways then I have to pack the bunny bag ohhh yeah I guess I should pack the bunnies too haha :) Unfortunately we have some bad news here, super cart is not going to fit between my 97 carriers and Julie's 96 Carriers we made an executive decision that it would not be wise to bring Super Cart. Alas the next show he/ or she will come no doubt! So Julie and I will be stuck carrying in carriers looking like weenies haha :) I think that's it for now, look for a post Friday before we leave for PaSRBA anddd when I come back look for a novel post!

A Request
So since I once again have been failing to write my blog oh well what are you gonna do I am gonna try super duper hard even harder than I have been which obviously wasn't that hard to keep it updated. So from here on out if you don't see a post like every 4 days you should just comment on one and yell at me hahaha
So bunny news not much really! Well other than PASRBA IS COMING UP!!!!! no big deal or anything haha jk! I am beyond excited I feel like I am a kid in a candy store, and christmas is tomorrow and I just got a new puppy and I won the lottery that's how excited I am. I am gonna take like 4000 pictures of everything and anything so be aware people the camera will be on the loose! haha :) I think as for showing I don't want to have to worry about like missing a class or something like that so I am just gonna take the 4 babies and Ziva. I think Ken is gonna have to stay home this time because in reality I am picking up like 6 new rabbits sooo I don't actually have room for many show bunnies. ALSO I am going to hopefully find some fuzzies there too :) So just to get it straight in my head here's who I am getting
1- Solid Tort Jr Buck
1 - Solid Tort Jr or Sr Doe (I can't remember)
1- BEW Sr Buck
1- BEW Sr Doe
1- Mini Lop OLIVE <3 <3 <3 *Shout out Elaina!*
and I am going to be stealing Elaina's angoras she is getting sooo I will have to get some big carriers for them too! ahah :) Then I am hoping I will have some money left over to spend to get some fuzzies! Normally I bring a ton of stuff back with me but this time I am bringing a ton of bunnies back!
Oh I have to remember to bring Elaina's 3 hole carrier, then I sold a 4-Hole one and a small cage, and bring Mirie and Chomper to sell. I think that's everyone haha :)
OH! sorry this is so random but anyways so about a month ago some how Omen who was Aprils but then I stole her since you know I steal bunnies a lot but anyways she got out of her cage unlatched it or I forgot to latch it but it was convenient that Landon was hoping around the shed that night and well of course Landon wanted children so yesterday Omen gave birth to 3 babies unfortunately Omen is not a good mommy and she had 1 outside the box and 2 inside the box and she didn't pull fur or anything like that so sadly the babies froze before I had time to get to them :(
On the bright side of things for those who are still reading this ridiculously long blog post, around March 11th I will have about 7 litters I can't really have any more than that because A. I only have 4 nest boxes and can't afford to buy more than 3 at PaSRBA haha :) and B I only have 6 maternity cages soo I might need to find another one haha :) or I will just wait on breeding a doe :( poops! haha :(
Also on another note I will be purchasing an 8 hole for real this time with my tax refund money that I am getting from my taxes I hope that it will cover the majority cost of the 8 hole because I dont have that much money anymore. But I figured I will need at least 8 more cages to cover the new rabbits coming in and all the babies being hatched/ born
I think that's all for now sorry for the super long blog post hopefully more in the next couple days!

Why Hello No Sleep!
Blah school started again :( I don't mind school going there and all but it's the getting up early and all the homework and test studying and everything like that I don't enjoy. Anyways that's what I haven't posted anything in like 2 weeks because I am back to being a stressed out sleep deprived working high school student.
Let's see bunny news, FARM SHOW! YAHOOO
This was my first year showing at farm show and it was so fun! I was so proud of my placements!! Polar got 2nd out of 11 in his class at 10 weeks old! Atta boy Polar! Close behind was his pretty much identical brother Denali who took a third because of a tighter crown and not as full. But still had 10 weeks old beating out the other juniors I think that's pretty good!! Genesis and Bennery got DQed for not weighing enough that was a big shocker those two have always been teeny. Pandora didn't get to show because I thought she wouldn't have weighed enough but she does but I can't wait to show her at PaSRBA.
Kennelly got a 4th out of 11th YAY KEN! I am so proud of him, he has really come a long way from our dead last placing in October!
Then Ziva the biggest disapointment of the day :( She got DQed for a dewlap. I was sooo disapointed I can't believe it I could barely even see one, I don't know if you could even call it a dewlap! But it's a judges opinion so we will see what happens at the next show. Hopefully it won't get any bigger. If it does she will make some GORGEOUS babies.
Major Congrats to April and Serena from Razzle Dazzle Bunnies on their BOB in ND!!! The got BOB with their FIRST Netherland Dwarf Litter, Homegrown Buck at the age of 20 weeks!! how crazy awesome is that! Congrats again guys!!
Also Congrats to Julie from Oak Ridge Rabbitry on her BOSV and BOG! With Brayden who has been staying here and is such cuddle bug I miss him! and Heartbreaker her Homegrown shaded (seal I think?) wooly!
I am soooo excited for PaSRBA it's almost here! We have our hotel booked and everything, I can't wait on the new additions!
