Hope everyone here in the northwest is doing alright with all this heat. Yesterday it hit 105 degrees here! I had to dunk all the rabbits, which helped them some. Have fans going, and the freezer is working overtime freezing water bottles. We have AC in the house, which if anyone is really suffering, I can bring them in. I'm trying to avoid this, as it'll be hard to get them back outside in this heat after adapting to the house.
I had three litters born at the end of last week, all of which I've taken all the fur out of their boxes, so they don't overheat.
The litters born last week are:
Rodeo x Cover Girl
Desperado x Sasha
Rodeo x Ladybug
A week from Saturday is the Clusters of Specialties. I'm secretaring the two Dutch specialties. In conjunction, there will be an all breed show this year, which is a benefit show for judge Kevin. He fell and hurt his back last month, and has been having quite a few complications due to this. My dad is working on several projects to put in the raffle, including one of the fancy grooming tables, and two gardener tool boxes. I think he has a few other things he's putting in too...
I'll be entering 7 Dutch in the shows. Then Nicole and I will have 5 Silver Martens entered.
My dad and I will be making a trip to Eastern Washington, to Lloyd's place, sometime next week. Lloyd is selling out of rabbits, due to health problems. I'll be picking up several new rabbits, including a pair or trio of his pure Blacks (only produce Black, no matter what they're bred to-- Zoe is one).
Hope everyone stays cool in the meantime. It's suppose to be 99 degrees today....
