Enumclaw Show Report Delivered in the Mail

I was happy to see my show report from the Enumclaw, WA show November 12th, 2011 show up in my mail. This was the show I was unable to attend due to my incident hitting black ice. The buns however still made it to the show and did quite well. I was surprised to see 6 legs in my show report and finally  be able to see how well my rabbits did.

Here were the results:

Show A:
Best of Breed: M an' M's Susie Q
Best of Group Shaded: M an' M's Spearfish
Best of Group AOV: QAF's Fizz
Best of Group Self: M an' M's Jensen

Show B:
Best of Breed: M an' M's Jackpot
Best of Group Self: M an' M's Jensen

For just being in a car accident, I think the buns fared quite well on the show tables. I am most thankful for the fact that they are all ok. Just waiting on my show results from the Monroe, WA Show December 3rd. Hoping there will be a few legs in that envelope too!

Until more news,

More Crock Dwellers

You just gotta love baby bunnies. Especially Standard Chinchillas. They are so cute! Even when they sit and poop in the food crock...

Until next time, 

Toodles,

Its a good day when....

That rabbit that has been bred several times, is a wonderful show rabbit, but has never produced, nor nested, is actually nesting in preparation for kindling. I am SO excited. Tonight M an' M's Beattle Bug decided that today was the day to start nesting in preparation for her due date next week. I am so excited at the thoughts of finally getting some babies out of her. I was very shocked to say the least when she started gathering hay in her mouth and not just munching it as normal. She was obviously trying to get my attention, as I was not going to give her any hay this evening, so she decided to start ripping up the cardboard divider between her cage and another rabbit. She typically doesn't engage in such behavior and is rather timid. But because didn't want her chewing the entire divider up, I gave her a handful of hay. Good thing I did, or I would have never known! I am also glad I had my camera out at the barn to snap a video. Here it is:

 

 I can't wait to see if she kindles! This is the rabbit that has a WONDERFUL coat, looks beautiful, but refuses to eat anywhere besides her cage. This makes going to shows difficult, as she looses condition fast, and makes traveling and showing at ARBA Convention an almost impossibility. She is definitely one of the divas in the barn (can't forget M an' M's Queen of Cartoons, the original Diva, she wrote the book on how to be a princess, and even taught other rabbits on the way to Convention how to be Divas). Regardless, I am happy that I might be able to finally get some little Beattle Bug babies! Luckily I have bred several other does so I will have the option to foster her kits if the whole first time mommy thing doesn't work out. I will keep everyone posted on her progress! Cross your fingers! Now if only M an' M's Peridot could take a hint...LOL

Until their are Little Beattle Bugs in the box,

Take care,

Sometimes I wonder what are bunnies thinking?

You have to wonder...what do rabbits think about, and what do you think this rabbit was trying to achieve? This is one of M an' M's Under the Cover of Night's kits, who is conveniently blocking the food dish, while sitting on to of another kit in the process. This little ruby eye white kit has turned out to be quite the character. The black kit underneath, had no desire to move and just stayed, smooshed in the crock while the rew sat on him. Crazy bunnies.

Somedays, I just don't understand the bunnies, but they are cute all the same.


Until next time,
