Updates

Been awhile since I last updated. Have had only one show, the GNW's Monroe show, which sadly I end up not being able to make it to. I became really sick the night before, and the morning of the show, so end up having to stay home. It's the first time I've had to back out of judging a show, and first time I've been too sick for a show. Since it was a local show, my dad still went with my rabbits. I had entered six, but since I had two juniors that we were suppose to tattoo that morning, he only took four rabbits.
The rabbits didn't do so well without me there. My Black jr buck that is for sale did get a BOS for his first leg. I didn't find out until I got my show results that both Diego and Katarina managed to get their senior legs to grand out!
Currently I have 3 litters. Diamond's litter will be weaned this week, then she will be going to live down in the Chehalis area. Pipsqueak and Rogue both have litters that are about two weeks old right now.
Put boxes in for four does today, and all four immediatly started nesting.
Next show isn't until March... a long time to go without one, however I have nothing to show but Diego and some Blue jr bucks, so it's probably better that this is a slow time. Have been getting nothing but Blue bucks in all of my litters! Would be nice to get some does...
I do have three 4-H shows in the meantime to judge, which will help give me my rabbit fix. One of them being for my former 4-H club, which is always fun to go back to judge at, even though it make me feel old. I only know one of the kids left, whose in her last year, and the last of the kids who was a member when I was just graduated this last year (might I add that she won this last year's ARBA Queen title!).
For the other two, one is also for my county, their fundraiser for awards at the fair. Then the other, I will be going back over to Port Townsend. I judged their fair last Summer, so am looking forward to going back to their area.
