Jersey colors, busy weekend, busy week!

The 5 Jersey babies are doing well. I confirmed colors(I think) One chinchilla and one Frosted Pearl for sure. 2 Blue torts, and one siamese smoke pearl. 4 does, and one buck!

We had a very busy weekend with Tammi and Jody coming by the farm. Tammi got all her Mini lops(elaborated in Cristinas blog) and Jody dropped off a rabbit for Tammi, we saw her beautiful new Silver Marten buck! And we got our new nestboxes! Very nice craftmanship! If anyone wants nestboxes, grooming tables etc built contact Jody! She makes excellent ones!

We got cage cards printed for quite a few of the rabbits in the barn and put those all up. I think almost all the Jerseys are done now. I think we missed one black and that is it! Cristina will have to get her butt in gear and do all the Mini lops : )

Last night Tammi and Saskia and Coleton came to the house for dinner, we had a great dinner and a long good talk. Then the Chimney caught on fire!! We've been burning wet wood and so we had to start running around like chickens with our heads cut off. It was quite an interesting couple of hours. Got that all sorted out, and the smoke smell out of the house. I think the house is about 13 degrees right now only though because we have to wait for Norm to come and look at it and clean it before of course we light the fire. ;)

We had a good time showing Tammi all the animals. The only cat she didn't see was Max. We tried to find him but had no luck, he finally came home at 7:30 this morning. He is very much "his own cat". He does things on MAX'S terms : )

Today we are heading to the ferry to meet Wendy to take lionheads to Kelly in Black Creek. Then we are picking up a friends holland herd who is selling out and they are being shipped to Alberta(except a couple are going to Wally/Andrea). Then from there we are picking up MORE cat food at Petsmart. I swear they are inhaling it in this cold- and they aren't even outside very much!!! I guess with 7 of them it is to be expected. We are going through a bag of Nutro Natural Choice cat food every 2 1/2 weeks(about $38 a bag).

Well I should go find breakfast and get ready to go in a little while.
