Well, it has been a very busy month as it is for many people. Last week on top of baking for our grandma, Cristina starting a new website for a Timberframe company, and I working for Patterson trucking for a couple of days it was just nuts! Last Thursday we met up with Ingrid and Sylvia at Fast Eddies in Naniamo for lunch and they picked up 12 rabbits! That was nice. Lots more cage space- all fuzzy lops and mini rex, and a jersey wooly as well. Then on top of it Saturday was our big Christmas party, so we were busy getting things prepared for it on Friday. Saturday on top of running around going crazy doing last minute things we did all the outside decorations and lights. Then we ran and fed rabbits, came home got changed and company started arriving. We all had a great time, wish we could have invited more people but 20 people in our house it just comfortable and anymore gets way too crowded(our house is tall but not wide, lol)
We had a very lazy Sunday morning but got to the barn as Dot and Dash our 2 rescued barn kittens from this summer went to there new home : ) They got a great home in Saanich with a couple of horses and 40 acres to play in!
Yesterday we headed to Naniamo and did some Christmas shopping then we headed to Nanoose to clean cages for Andrea and Wally, then off to Staples and grabbed dinner, then we stopped at the house to check on the Tigerlily(kitten) as she came down with a cat cold(vet said basically like a human cold but because she is so young and with a bit of this virus couldn't be vaccinated like all the other cats are yet. so on Friday on top of everything else she went to the vet(forgot to mention that one) and is on some antibotics. Doing great though. then off to our Aunt and Uncles to drop gifts off to them before they head to Hawaii for Christmas! Then visited until 9:30 then finally the poor bunnies got fed! Then off to Crofton to pick our mom up from work, and then home.. It was a VERY busy day and that has been how the whole month has worked..
Last weekend(the 8th weekend) we moved the TV room from upstairs to downstairs so had to move all our computers and equipment downstairs, and moved the dining room into the tv room upstairs. Cleaned all the carpets as Luke got into red food coloring(yes it was a diaster!). And then we re-arranged other rooms in the house as well.
Today I am working on my aunts DVD's to drop off to her tomorrow, and then we have a bunch of stops to make this week- need to stock up on feed, dog food, make sure we have enough cat food, make up the rest of the baking gifts and then of course barn cleaning etc, etc! Selina arrives from Yellowknife on Sunday the 23rd at 10pm in Victoria. So anyone wanting to see her come by on the 24th, 25th, or 26th, or early on the 27th :- ) As we leave on the night of the 27th for Vancouver and then off to Alberta until the 3rd. I can't believe how fast this month has gone!
Now rabbit wise... All is well. Not much to report. Had 2 JW litters that unfortunetly one was born on the wire, and the other the doe just didn't pull enough fur. I have I think 4-5 does due on Christmas day : ) I am going to breed 4-5 more this week as well! Some really nice shaded and self babies out there right now that are almost ready to be weaned! Otherwise not much else new JW wise- they are being very spoiled this winter- there treat mix consists of:
Dairy Text which is basically like cob but a little sweeter and a little higher in fat with added vitamins mixed with ground flax, flatted barley, alfalfa pellets, and fast track(what they use for horses that colic) a bunch of us breeders are trying it out to see if it helps with those babies that get upset stomachs. Too soon to tell yet for us!
Anyway, I have to go but there is at least an update : )
Oh, and yeterday while we were Shopping Dillon picked up his last 3 mini rex, as well : )
My dogs and cats got very spoiled for Christmas. The cats got a 12 pack of mice as well as a bunch of organic canned food(salmon and turkey mainly). The dogs got a huge 2 1/2 foot tall bone, a bunch of treats and marrowbones(liver treats, soft treats, hard treats lol). And I am going to buy some pig ears on the weekend as well for them(they LOVE those!)
