We are packing a preparing for our mini family vacation to Longview, Tx. We leave tomorrow. We are going to visit our old church that we attended for 2 years and visit some friends from the area! Friday night we have a specialty show and then a double show on Saturday! We are bringing 6; would have been more, but we sold some!

We are hoping Grizzly will finally grand. This poor boy has more 2nd and 3rd place that any rabbit I know! The judge that is judging the specialty night is one that really liked Griz and gave him best opposite variety (under Muffin!) So there is a shot!

We are taking Ivory and she turns senior TODAY! So we are hoping she will get a senior leg. One ofthe judges at the Saturday show gave her best opposite breed at a little over 3 months old. Said he had never place a REW higher than 5th in class. So that is hopeful. She has a scratch on her ear from her escapades the other day (all of the rabbits were out because a child left the door open over night!)

We have a new doe that just turned Senior. Her name is Hartman's Solo, she is Grizzly's daughter. She is so cute and I hope she does well.

Then we have our juniors. If Blue Cheese makes weight (last weight a coupld of days ago was 1#15 oz), I think he will do ok, but he is full on in his uglies! Long ears and small head. I know it will come back and he still has a short body and great bone, but lets see how he does without that head!

Pixie is also in her uglies. She has an amazing body though! It is super short. Her ears are long right now and small head. Cant wait until they are past this! Pixie will probably not be coming home with us. We may be trading her for another REW.

Then we have TIKI, she also has a short little body, but she has a little longer ears and smaller head. Hope she grows into them (Ivory did too and grew into them!) Her bone is a little finer, but she has that nice short body and good markings. This will be her first show!
