Ramp






The long delayed images of the ramp that Allen built for Magic and the handcart. I've had a few co-workers offer to buy it from us when we get done with it. *Shrugs* Maybe Allen should have a career change? It's squeaky but it's stable. I watched Allen jump on it numerous times and climb up and down on it. Magic seems to like it better than the stairs, she goes down very willingly, up I have had to coax her a few times but she does go up it. Charity(3 yr old I think) adores it, she was running up and down on it one afternoon when she came with one of her sisters to walk Magic that she woke me up. I rolled back over and went back to sleep, but asked mom later who it was. She's so cute.
Allen also started to sand the old hand rail down so he could urithane it but Dad's sander just up and quit on him one day. He told me the paper had ripped so he turned it off and got some new paper, and it wouldn't restart. He said he's going to get a new sander and if dad knows why it's not restarting, that, that would be wonderful news to know.
Happy dad? I know I've been forgetting to send you some, so now everyone can see them! LOL. It really is nice and sturdy. Allen's going to ask Mike if his inlaws want us to leave it for when they move in, we'll just tuck it up where the boat shall be vacating soon, when we are done with it.

I'll get pictures of magic's ramp tomorrow, we got it done and into place today and got magic to go up and down it. she's not a freak for going up, but down she's got down pack.

Babies growing up

Well, no pictures today, don't have the time to go take some and then upload them.
I've gone through two of the dutch litters and sexed them. KItty's didn't survive, so I'm just retiring her and getting her a pet home. As for the HOlland Lops: Skye killed hers like normal, so she's getting rebred, that's the only way to get kits from her is to bred her back after she kills one litter. Angie is about 2 weeks off from her due date with a Fuzzy Lop. Let's see if she produces to him.
Back to my babies, the Dutch:

Robyn's got 3 bucks, and 1 doe(Shamefully) but everyone one of them are awesomely marked, so they should sell well. Naturally I'd get a full litter that looks great when I'm in a spot that I can't really keep any to show first.
Amita's I haven't sexed all of them, but so far one steel is a buck, the other I think is a doe, same thing for the blue-steels, 1 buck, 1 doe. The black I didn't check.
Neena's are still too young to sex properly but 3 Grays(Not steels like I thought) and 3 blacks(Yes I thought there was only five but there's six! One of these days I'll learn to count better) Her Gray children, 2 of them aren't badly marked, I've pulled one of those to keep to start my gray lines, the last is slightly mismarked. the blacks, one has a heart shapped(sorta) black spot on it's shoulders so it's pet quality.

The horses, my gosh Jazz needs a bath, I don't think much more dirt can get into her fur. If it's nice this weekend, I'll get both Jazz and Pheeny bathed. They need it soo badly after the long winter and it's been a long time since Jazz had a bath last, Pheeny I'm sure had one more recently.
