Good Day

This is one proud Momma. I bred to the buck I got from Virgina, and Today she gave me a surprise! 8 Little wiggly ones.

I know they aren't going to be blue or black, They'd have darker skin if that was the case, so maybe tort, blue tort and maybe a tri or two? I dunno. Give me about 5 or 6 days for fur to start coming in and I'll know for sure. Mommy's a Broken Blue-Tort and Daddy's a solid Tort.

I bought two posts, but we only managed to get one into the ground.

Though for not being cemented it, that post is very firm, we tried to wiggle it after packing the dirt pack in around, and then watered it down, waited for that to soak in and then put some more dirt and going to pack it again tomorrow; it is very solid, we couldn't move it.

Blaze told us when it was time to pack up for the night by running back to the barn.

Lots of moving of items

That's the bookcase that was placed in the 'closet' like thing. For right now the breyer's are going to stay there until I get a shelve up to display them.

This is looking directly into my room at the other bookshelf which is already holding many of my books and Breyers.

I gave the two Velveteen Lop bucks cups, the Red New Zealand buck and one of Velveteen Lop does. They had a ball rolling them around their cages and picking them up and tossing them.

The video is of Shelly and her little cup.

Sadly, I only have 1 cup left that isn't being used as a toss toy and being used as a feed scoop. I need more of them cups!

Rabbit side of Barn complete

I wanted to get the rest of my rabbit cages up on shelves against the wall so I bought another box of screws and 3 2x4's to put the last five cages up. These five will be the home of my mini rexes.
I didn't end up with any in progress pictures, and these went a whole lot faster than the first ones, and they're level too!
Arthur and Gwenyth share the top, since they are my opal pair.
White Gold is goign to have a shelf next to her for suplies. Michelle is goign to share the bottom with my other buck that is coming down with Rachel at Thanksgiving time.

I cleaned out that whole back corner and dad was able to get that trough like thing off the wall. Much neater now.

Preston Court Days and Horses

I took Sunday off from sitting at our yard sale so I could walk around Preston's Court Days, and see my furry kids. After hearing about Dad, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jim's trip I decided to get parked by 9AM and I walked from the little country store to the far side of the village. This shot is about halfway from the store to teh actual start of the village. Yes, more people per square mile than the Warrensburg(New York) Townwide Garage sale in a village half the size of Argyle(New York). There was a TON of people.

When I was walking, faceing the Village, my truck is somewhere on the lefthand side in the picture-I think.

Just a shot downtown, lots of golf carts, 4-wheelers.

More tents!

People didn't care when they walked in front of you. For a small little town, it took WAY too long to drive through.

I did bring home a bunny. Red New Zealand buck, about 15 weeks old. The guy I bought him from said I'd get blacks from a cross of colors with New Zealands. Don't know why I believed him, we shouldn't, but purebred pair of red's is what I had originally wanted anyway. SO I might keep Pippin and get a Californian doe to cross with him to try a cross bred of two meat breeds and then purebred New Zealands. I called him Aragorn, to keep to a Lord of the Rings theme(I know Trisha isn't Lord of the Rings).

I stopped twice at Micheals to see Tessa, but she was up on the top of the back hill. I didn't feel like walking across the whole pasture just to see her. Oh well. Maybe next Sunday. I also stopped by Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jim's to see them, I lended a few hands helping them with their Chicken house, and then I grabbed a bit of food to start feeding Jazz once a week, beet pulp and mare and foal mix. She loved that stuff. I hope it tasted good to her, cause it smelled yucky to me. Jesse said he is going to set up a time/date to come take a look at Oriana for his fiance Holly. Shockingly after Dad had mentioned him to me and Aunt Lisa I ran into him at the gas station on the way home! Oh the Irony. Holly and Jesse looked at pictures that I had on my cell phone. I have increasingly too many pictures on my cell phone.

Petting Zoo Ambassadors and Jersey Larry's now Magellan!

Jackie, a lady that works at Tractor Supply asked me about bringing some of the rabbits up for a kids petting zoo event. I obliged, took the day off work and brought one ambassador for each breed and some of the dutch babies that I have for sale.



In the far ex-pen is Speedle and Michelle. Speedle was one of the favorites, everyone loved him. Michelle needed exposure to the public and socialization, hence why I kept her in the back, I was afraid of her nipping kids. I held her for some petting a few times, but she was grumpy. Little more time and work should help.

I borrowed Aunt Lisa's x-pen to put the dutch into. I sold one of the blue dutch bucks, Amita's last boy.
Jackie was miffed that I didn't bring Kevin as the ambassador for the Velveteen Lops, I brought my other buck, Parker. Parker just needed exposure to people so when he hits the show table it won't be so scary for him.

Jackie made it up there around noon with her two pigmy goats, she sat there with Cindy in her lap for a while. Cindy was being super good, she'll work wonderful as Ambassador of the English Spots.

This is Greta Goat, I think . . .

Greta and Lily's butts. They are twin Pigmy goats, and Jackie's kids.

I returned back to Aunt Lisa's to return her x-pen afterwards and found that Jersey Larry had been out adventuring the big horse pasture. On the way down the hill I stopped for some pictures.
He had been standing right in the middle of the driveway when I pulled up. I wonder if he's been conspiring with Jazz.

Jersey Larry meet Big Larry.

Big Larry wasn't fascinating enough, he had to check out the flock of sheep that came running over because of the truck. Big Larry chased them off as if to say 'he's my kind! Not yours!' right after I snapped this picture.

Long exhilerating day. The goats were soo cute, that's as big as the two will get too. Jersey Larry we are contemplating calling him Magellan since he is enjoying investigating and adventuring.

More Horse and Bunny Pictures

Sam inside the x-pen, Blaze was tormenting him, but Sam's not aggressive or a sprayer so he was okay being loose with Sam and Colby on the ground.

There's Colby in the other x-pen the same time that Sam was out. Sam and Colby are my two sweetheart dutch bucks.

Gabriel outside with Blaze pestering him.

Speedle wanted a closeup shot.

I stopped by Aunt Lisa's this morning to give my girls their dewormer. Jazz was up at the water cooler.

I also stopped by Micheals to see Tessa real quick. I forgot to take my halter for her out of the truck so I used one of Micheal's so I could pull her out so mom could see her. I got mom to take a picture of us.
