Little Slow..err..Majorly..haha

Well I guess I had better write a blog now eh..haha. Last month, went to Chestermere hoping to put on my last show and do well. I exceeded ALL my expectations majorly and came home with lots of ribbons and other items. As expected there was JUST enough fuzzies to get a BOB leg thank god for sure there! In total, I came home with 3 BOB and 1 BIS! I would have taken another BIS in Open if I actually entered all my rabbits in the open show who was the same judge as the youth show. I was going for comments on my rabbits and I knew that Zoey was a bit overweight and Ari LOOKED like a DQ cause she was shown in WA a few months ago and was DQ's all times. So i only showed SOME in that show. You can get what you can get! Anyways comment wise I was extremely impressed. Lacy, the broken siamese jr doe would have taken a bit more placings if her stupid coat wasnt chewed! All three judges commented that she has the most potential out of the three and should compete at convention. I COULD NOT BELIEVE how the judges commented on them, convention animal?!?! All three of my jrs did well in the long run, Ty even beat his dad at the youth show! The judge said he will bloom into an awesome show animal! Those two arent even my pick of litter! Alexa, the siamese jr doe took a BOS in one show, saying amazing promise and should be a nice show bun in a rare color!
Getting back, Alexa has gone with Gayle in Edmonton to make some awesome show babies, Lacy went on to a friend of mine who may show her next time and Ty is still at home with me. :)
On showing, the youth show was very amusing, it was basically all my rabbits against eachother! The judge had a look at each one, she took one look at Zoey and just went overboard! "This is one of the nicest fuzzy lops I have ever seen" This judge has alot of experience so I was very impressed, including she is my OWN breeding from my old line! She couldnt fault Zoey at all! Then a min later, she takes out Ari and Nova. Takes a look at Ari and goes wow. I was expecting another DQ..then a min later she says Ari BOB after looking at Zoey and Ari together for a couple min. Zoey was a bit overweight but it was a youth show so I figure better have an animal underweight anyways..lol. So its BIS showing for youth, I was against the famous Tri Doe from Shannon, figuring I dont have a chance and she definately deserved it. Then its BIS Ari! I was speechless..haha. Beautiful animal she is. Thanks Sarah for the pleasure of showing such a beautiful animal as well as her half sister. You should have stayed in fuzzies. :P
These beautiful animals, Ari, Nova and Snow have gone to live with Kaitlin in Washington to make some awesome babies with some convention bucks Kaitlin just bought. Make some more winners! These buns are not gone for good, they will be back one day. :)
So in all, I got lots of stuff and my beautiful animals got my last chance to perform. Also, I went to the zoo that weekend and cruised around downtown Calgary. A wonderful trip!
So this is perty much the end for me, I will still be around chatting about rabbits of course but not physically breeding, etc.
I know as time goes by, my rabbits ive always had from the beginning are starting to age and its quite unfortunate but they will stay forever with me. They are my family!

So some are wondering why is there a broken black buck on ur for sale page..lol. I got him from a trade basically, he is for sale though because I am no longer breeding and currently, I have 2 does and 4! bucks..haha. He is a cutie, possibly still available is u email asap. He is actually the grandson of Chester, a fawn fuzzy, half brother to Zoey who I gave away when I moved. Unfortunately he died suddenly due to some causes I will not post on here. You know who u are. Anyways he was bred to a holland doe just before he passed away. And the end result is this little buck, named Alex. :P

Ok, getting back to normal now, my rabbits are spoiled as ever, grass and more time with me as well as more out time to be annoying..haha. Ty is definately coming into himself which I didnt think would happen. Beautiful cobby SHORT body and wide shoulders but his head hasnt caught up yet so will have to wait and see. :P Other then that life is normal, spending time with my animals and trying to finish up school and exams coming up.
I will post blogs on here, voicing my opinions to anything or just talking about the weather..haha. Cyah!
