Saturday BLOGs
I actually stayed home from a rabbit show on purpose today. It's weird. I've been one of the most active exhibitors in the country for the last couple of years and I've enjoyed it. But I'm getting to the point that I do not enjoy having the same judges show after show, especially those not particularly skilled in Hollands. Last summer especially, it seemed like we were having the same judges, exhibitors, and rabbits every two weeks.
So I'm going to be a little more picky about where and when I show. When I told my husband that I was going to cut down my show schedule, he just laughed. That's the same response I got from friends. No one seems to think that I can do it. They may be right, but then again, I just might do it.
I can see the toll that my show schedule has taken on my garden. It's almost unrecognizable. So I hope to take some of these weekends off to revive that hobby. To that end, I have decided to discontinue Saturday BLOGs. I will also skip Sunday BLOGs unless I go to a Saturday show and get home in time to report on the show.
Readership is generally down on Saturday anyway, so I'm sure it won't be sorely missed. By the way, this is not an April Fool's Day joke. I do confine my big pranks to one day per year.
I do have some really good news to share. GC The Nature Trail's Brook had two live babies this week! She had had one dead litter previously and then missed two or three times. This was her last chance and I dreaded the thought of losing her without any babies. But now the ballgame has changed. She's a wonderful doe out of GC LL Brendan and Saynora's Katee. Her full sister, later litter, Triss, also had two live babies on the same day. They are with Rio. Unfortunately, they look tiny and may be peanuts. But at least she did everything right!
I'm working on my for sale list. I will be selling some surprising rabbits due to my enthusiasm over my latest crop of Hollands. Currently, I'm in the process of contacting my waiting list on particular rabbits, but after that, I'll get the photos posted on my for sale page. These rabbits can be delivered to the Ohio Mini Convention. Keep your eyes peeled.
No, I'm not selling May, Rio, Merlin, or Wizard. Sorry.
I'll talk to you on Monday.
