General Updates

Well, I'm writing this from camp so not too detailed.

We are down to four bunnies, two harlies and two mini lops. Though that could go down to three as Bicardi has an injury to one of his hind legs. I've told Curtis to keep him comfortable and not to move him much. Hoping that it is not a break. But I will know more next week when I get out of camp.

I've got the birds I have left for sale as I just don't have the time for them and I don;t think it is fair to keep them. I'm very picky on where they go and most people who have contacted me about seem to think I should be giving them away to them... Not what I will be doing!

I will be keeping the four buns, the two dogs and Peaches, probably the llama, but if the right home comes up he will be going. Everything else I am giving up for now. Hard choice, but the best for now I am thinking, especially when I am uncertain with how much I will be home this winter. I have taken the plans on how the few I have left will be cared for, but don't want to have too much to deal with either.

Will write again when out of camp next week!

Back from Edmonton & other news

Well, I went down to the EARS quad show in Edmonton on the August long weekend. Was going more to deliver buns and visit than anything. I did enter Keaton and two of the Fuzzies that I co-own with Brianna. I didn't figure I would get anything as Keaton was finally losing that condition he had held for so long and the Fuzzies were more to make numbers. Well, Keaton surprised me again by picking up another 4 legs. 2 for breed and two for opposite. And the big surprise he was picked by Jake as the Best of Best Opposites! Was a total shocker! Keaton was supposed to be sold to a youth breeder in Washington State, but part of his transport was not confirmed, so he ended up coming home again with me. I have basically no bunnies left, babies that Brianna has, Keaton, and two harlequin juniors. Yes, two harlequins, I was bad, I picked up a very nice little blue magpie buck from Barb Adams, but he is super clean in his markings, hopefully he crosses well with the sweetie I kept back. I am considering keeping one of the Mini Lop jr does from Obsidian and Smudge, but that is yet to be decided.


Also from the trip in Edmonton, I picked up Ms Kiley, who is a new Canadian Champion. She will be going back to Calgary in the spring/late winter as I believe Lisa will have a handsome beau lined up for her then.


Other news, on a personal level, when I got out of camp this time the young man that I had been dating, surprised me by proposing! We haven't set a date(next summer), but needless to say I am very happy!

Not much else going on
