A Fresh Start

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.
