E-Town bunny show

This morning, at 6 am I left my house for a bunny show, I know, bit crazy but it was fun, had to scope out the 'local' bunny scene. Here's a few of my guys waiting. Syd, Oreo, Lindsay and Mimzy from left to right.

Two shots of around the room. It wasn't bad, smaller than I anticipated, but then again, Nationals were during the week so the bunnies that flew out to San Diego needed a bit of time off, as did their humans. I'm guessing around 700-800 rabbits total were there, it was a double show so not many. Considering I had almost half the dutch present for open show, that's bad.

A couple of Flemish Giants waiting and resting, now they are some pretty big buns there. Flemmies are 15+ pounds, there's no high weight on them, 15 is low weight.

My Velveteen Lops: The solid blue is the buck, about 4 months old. The Doe, the broken blue, is a proven mother, she just weaned a litter of 5 babies.

I can't wait to see what color babies they will produce come spring. Their parents were both torts, and produced blues. It's exciting.

Still working on names for those two ladies, he was calling the buck Edward, so Eddy again? Oh well.

I'm beyond exhausted so I'm off to put in Finding Nemo so I fall asleep and I've got a bit of rearranging of cages and bunnies tomorrow so the bigger two(between 6 and 8 pounds, instead of my 4 pounders) have the bigger cages.

Rabbit update- getting ready for show.

Well turns out Samantha may not be riding with me afterall, it was kind of depressing, so I took Amita out to snuggle with this morning. I let her hop for a bit in the grass too.

I might bring her just so she can get out and I'll bring an X-pen so she can hop around. If I can find my harness' I'd bring those for them to hop.

Missy Montana(below) is in a new home. She's now a pet, I've tried breeding her and she won't take, and I've tried to show her, and she over stress' and gives herself a stress cold.

And Lindsay(below) trying to hid from me, she's good about posing for the camera, since I tattooed her. She'll be okay to show, I'm not expecting alot of her in her first show, but I would LOVE for her to do very well.

Everyone else is doing wonderful, they love Aunt Lisa & Uncle Jim's messed up collard leaves.

Castle & Sheltie Fun Show!!

That is an honest to goodness castle, I got the picture for Jessica, mainly. That thing was HUGE. That was taken as we drove past it, but it was humongeous. Dad thinks they may rent rooms like a motel. The gate at the end of the driveway looked locked up, maybe just for the season? Either way I think I can find this place again if you want to go by it again some time.

Sheltie Fun Show!

And Yes it was fun!! Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jim had a fun show for the Sheltie club, and I tagged along to see what it was about.

Three of the ladies waiting while we had lunch. Satin was in her crate, but these ladies stayed out to enjoy the weather, and Piper to watch her ducks.

Piper loved her ducks. She was thrilled to go back in a second time later in the day.

Satin working the coarse. I had Piper and Paris at the time, or I would have gotten closer for some other pictures.

We got in late and Everyone flopped onto the floor to nap. Long tiring day.

Aunt Lisa and I were eye balling this little blue pup. I get the feeling the two of us wanted to bring her home with us. I think we could have found a place to put her . . . Dad would have killed me.

Fencing and Keeneland Race track!

A couple days ago I hung around and helped put the fence in, Uncle Jim's just bringing the boards around here.

As Aunt Lisa and I left for the track, closing day at Keeneland, Uncle Jim was still moving the gravel dust up the hill from the truck down bottom. (More pictures on his blog)

Aunt Lisa and I both have never been to Keeneland so I printed directions and off we went!

And here's a gray horse that we both loved, natually of coarse it was near last in it's race but that's because I picked it too. Opps, I knew I could be bad luck! Lentanor raced today, we missed his race by like 5 minutes, but we got to watch the replay, 3rd place, not bad!

Just a shot across the track towards the board: I did get some with the film camera of horses coming out of the gate, a few of the races we watched, we got to see them come out the gate right in front of us. The track is grayish, not brown like dirt, because it's a synthetic blend with rubber and what not in it. Some think it's safer for the horses, some think no. It's still a work in progress.

The perfect way to end a day! That was from the porch behind their house before I left to head for home.

Nothing much to update with, other than posting a few rabbits on Craigslist, Jacob AKA Scrapes, a little blue polish buck. SOmeone was supposed to pick him up Wednesday night, but they had to bail and reset. Naturally, I knew that was going to happen when I brought him back to the apartment to wait, so I didn't bother Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jim going back and getting him.

Also listed is one of the little Tort dutch does. I kept one, the runt. She might have someone that wants her.

Jacob AKA Scrapes:

Few shots of the horses. Jasmine got moved over with Heidi and Phoenix because she rubbed on the gates that make up Josie and Bo's stall. She seems to love Heidi. Heidi's got a new BFF, and they are both Phoenix's girls now.

Had nothing to do so I made a page!

So I figured I'd share it, it's for horses that are very special to me. I tried to make sure people wouldn't get offended by it

Well I got bored waiting for Rachel to come online

http://ayasorarabbitry.webs.com/index.htm I updated the rabbitry site too. HAHAHA I gotta stop waiting for her some times. She didn't get on until after midnight, but she had pics for me.

I thought that pics was cute. Lana, the mini rex baby she fostered and her own son.

Update for Allen.

Well Allen, yes, we have internet now. Road Runner is fast! But for entertainment, the guy that came to install the modem and hook the desktop up, I *had* to ask what system/computer does he prefer? Well he's a college student and taking Computer Engineering and he prefers Macs, YES I said Macs. He said they were less complicated. If it came to windows, he doesn't mind XP, Vista's a nice pain at times and the older window's versions just put him to sleep. Interesting.

Anyway. Pics from around the apartment. After some work. Sorry one is sideways, I did color coordinate my bathroom. One is from the heavy frost a few days ago.
