Celebrate A Milestone With Me
There's a letter sitting on the small shelf by my front door, ready to go out to the mailbox the next time someone makes the trip down to the main road. I'm really excited about that letter. And I hope you'll celebrate with me.
The letter goes to ARBA. Inside are payment and legs for four grand champions: Crazy Horse, Jamillia, Padawan, and Hope. That's really nice and I am glad for that, but that's not my milestone.
There are also four registration forms in the envelope. Jamillia, Padawan, and Hope all granded so young that I'm sending in their registration forms and their GC legs at the same time. I'm also sending in Jocasta's registration form. Now we're getting a little closer to the really exciting part.
Jamillia, Jocasta (not yet granded, but has 3 junior legs), and Padawan are from the same litter. I've mentioned before that Jamillia and Padawan are my first third generation, home grown grand champions.
But here's another milestone - they will be receiving red, white, and blue seals on their pedigrees. This is a first for my rabbitry. I'm so excited!
I'm so glad that I registered all of my foundation stock and consistently have registered anything that I found worthy of breeding.
It's hard to believe that when I register Jamillia's, Jocasta's, and Padawan's offspring, my foundation rabbits will be moving off of the back of the pedigrees. I've been working hard to develop my own rabbits and my own line. I'm getting closer by the moment.
I've bred Jamillia and Padawan together. Keep your fingers crossed. It may within the next year or so that I'll have achieved my ultimate milestone - a gold seal on a pedigree - with all The Nature Trail's bunnies on it!
