What a nutty week!

Since last Friday it has been INSANE around here. I'm talking shakes head crazy!!

We were in Ucuelet all day Saturday, then Sunday we were up super early to unload our dads truck of tools, and our truck of "stuff" from his RV trailer, as he is moving back home(he worked on the West Coast for the past 4 months, but because of his health has had to become a "travelling mechanic", then after that we cleaned the barn, and worked on a whole bunch of pics.

Then Monday we get a phone call at 5am that our dad is really sick and needs us to go get him. So we drove all the way up(3 hrs one way) and picked him up and took him to Nanaimo hospital. Our mom stayed with him while we came home and dealt with a few little things, then we fed rabbits and did chores, they got home and we went to bed pretty darn early! Yesterday we spent all day working on various things we needed too like Champagne and New Zealand Sanctions from the April 5th show. With being sick all last week we didn't spend any time on the computer, and I had some things to do. I've also been busy e-mailing judges and trying to get things organized for Luxton and Cowichan Fairs in September as catalogs need to go out pretty soon for those(because they are fairs, and Cowichan is the biggest fair on the Island).

I had to go to the post office on Monday and yesterday for stamps, and we mailed Valerie Uptagraffts show towel back(hand towel) she had forgotten at the show, then we had to mail a bunch of other things, and finish up the show stuff(all done now)(everyone had their legs weeks ago, but with being sick last week things got postponed!)

I had to research a course that my uncles logging company has to take, and today we worked on our taxes and got them finished. Plus we put a new oxygen sensor on the truck and went to the feed store.

See? Crazy!

Tomorrow we have to work on the oxygen sensor on the truck- long story, and one I am too lazy to type out. I just finished (in the oven) baking a cake for our Uncles B-day tomorrow, and it is also our good friend Sylvia's b-day as well in case she reads this before I send her a b-day greeting tomorrow : )

Rabbits are all doing fine. We will have some Champagne babies available if anyone is interested. We are keeping the buck, but both does in the older litter will be for sale, and we have another litter of two as well. The one doe is very nice, we just don't want more then 4 Champagnes. We will be selling the seniors as we replace them with juniors we've bred as well, so inquire if interested in senior stock down the road!

The only things left on my "HAS TO GET DONE THIS WEEK" are the Luxton and Cowichan catalogs, and my delay on both is I STILL don't have judges for Luxton. I've e-mailed over 20 judges in the Northwest and for the ones who have written me back they are all booked, and some I haven't gotten a reply from. And Cowichan show the judges are all booked, but, we are still waiting for sanction numbers.. That was mailed off the 7th of April. This mail system is SLOW.

Well better run and check the cake!

Picture and website update, and other animals!

We've been slowly getting caught up on website updates, although they won't be published for a couple more days yet. We've done over 100 pics in the past week, and have been adding them to the website. Mainly Mini lops, as everyone is coming nicely out of "ganglies" and some are maturing beautifully! We are looking forward to showing them.

As we've been taking pictures, the dogs and cats have been having fun annoying us and getting in our way! Here's Cassie, one of the 4 barn cats deciding it was "her turn" for pictures!



Also included is a pic of 2 of Andrea's dwarf hotot babies- so cute! And a pic of a Bear we saw eating on the side of the road the other day driving from Ucluelet.





I've sexed my litters... Boy did I have luck with BUCKS! ugh!!! Fantasy has 2 gorgeous bucks and a doe that are looking really nice! the other one buck is actually pretty nice too but is a blue point so unshowable color.

Maggie Mae and Hero have 2 dark smoke pearl bucks, and a dark smoke pearl doe.

Leapin' Miss Sierra X Leapin' Rock N Roll- a tort buck, Blue point buck, Smoke pearl buck and Blue point buck.

Leapin' Panache X GC Jentle's Hero- 2 blue bucks

Schultz's SEcret weapon X Leapin' Munchkin- dark sable point doe and siamese smoke pearl doe!

We've gone through tons of Mini lops and mini lop litters. I mean the barn is soon going to be full we have so many babies and juniors we are growing out. For now we are fine with quite a few empty cages(at least a dozen I can count off the top of my head, BUT! we have 8 more does bred, with 3 due in a week... That is the end of breedings for us. I have 2 more Champagnes to breed, possibly 3 and then that is it for sure this time lol! I bred the last Jersey wooly on the weekend when we bred the other mini lop does, and one Champagne doe.

Fair weather rabbits

In the past couple of weeks, I've had more Jersey babies born then any other time since last October. We've both decided the jerseys are "Fair Weather rabbits". The mini lops bred all fall, all winter, and now all spring. The Jerseys have been a whole other story!!

We've been sick this week, with bad colds so haven't been on the computer or writing blogs. We are feeling much more human now, so thought I should write a blog!

Leapin Maggie Mae X GC Jentle's Hero have 3 kits left- not sure if blues or smoke pearls.

Leapin' Panache X GC Jentle's Hero- 2 kits- blues

Leapin' Ms Sierra X Leapin' Rock N Roll- 4 kits- 1 tort, and 3 sable points and blue points

Schultz's Secret Weapon X Leapin' Munchkin- 2 kits- dark sable point and a smoke pearl we think? They keep changing!

I've been trying since last October for Secret Weapon and Maggie to have litters. Maggie had 2 dead litters in the box, in a row, and she has the live litter now(she was proven before) so it was just winter!

We had a new Champagne litter today as well, 2 HUGE babies. Doing great. About 3/4's the size of our hands! They are big babies! Still waiting on the other Champagne to kindle.

We will do some more breedings in the next week, and I will hopefully find something interesting to write about : )

The 5 babies from Fantasy X Cowboy are doing great. I will see about getting some pics this weekend. 3 of the 5 are looking really nice with great bodies!

The sable point buck from Foxy Lady and Cowboy is doing fine as well, he is fostered to a mini lop(Rosalind). Its looks so funny this tiny Jersey against these huge mini lops who are just a week older then him, but are 3 times bigger then him!

We did a whole bunch of new pictures last weekend, but haven't felt up to doing website updates.. We will hopefully start working on them tomorrow.

Our dad is moving from up Island back down here, to travel with his job instead of living at his job(and towing the trailer) so we will be busy this next week organizing him, and helping him move everything back down this way.

It bugs me!

When people say "wow, you are doing another breed?", Or, you "Sure have a lot of different breeds". Or you sure have a turn over on breeds etc.

What better way to know a breed then to BREED AND SHOW the breed. This is my opinion but it just bugs me when people comment, on something that is really not an issue to comment over!

I can think of many Nationally winning breeders who have more then one breed of rabbit. In fact, a lot of the ones I am thinking of have at least 2 breeds, some have 3 or 4 or more.

For me, I don't think raising more then 4 breeds does anything for all the breeds. Unless you have hundreds of extra cages and time to devote to the breed.

For us, Mini lops ARE the main breed with 72 holes for them. Mini lops have been here the longest, besides the first few years we spent with Holland lops and French lops. We had French lops for 3 1/2 almost 4 years, and Hollands for 3 years.

Since then, yes, we have tried various breeds and yes some didn't stick around for very long but every breed we raised so far, before we sold out we won a Best in Show with it! French lop, Holland lop, Mini rex, Netherland dwarf. We really haven't had many breeds.

I know of a breeder who has had rabbits here on the Island, has incredible stock especially in their one breed, and has 7 different breeds of rabbits. Has had rabbits since the mid 70's, and has raised many different breeds. Although the breeder doesn't have a big turn over of breeds, some of the breeds they don't do all that much with(having just a pair or trio or up to 5 animals at times).

We have a huge pet food industry here on Vancouver Island, with no sales of rabbit meat for human consumption allowed, a lot of breeders are going for the pet food industry. In fact, the pet food industry on the Island is so good we have all our culls sold for the next YEAR.

Yes, we are getting 3 satins coming from the US. Why ? Because our meat sales are so good, it would be nice to help pay for the feed bill some more with these meat sales. And we've always thought the red satins are beautiful. If you want to see more judges, and better judges I think you better want to see those judges raising all kinds of breeds, the more hands on experience the BETTER THEY ARE!

My opinion, as always : )

Litters coming up

We have 2 Champagne litters, 4 Jersey wooly litters(one doe is sold, so will be 3 litters) due this next week. All the does need to get boxes put in tomorrow. I've already put one Champagne box in as the doe has been nesting for the past week. And I will put in the other boxes today or tomorrow.

I am looking forward to these litters.

Secret Weapon has 2 babies- a Siamese Smoke pearl looks to be a doe, and a Siamese Sable also looks to be a doe.

Panache has 2 dark smoke pearls or blues ( I think blues) by Hero.

Mara, Maggie, and Ms Sierra are all due this week.

The 5 babies of Fantasy X Cowboy are 4 bucks and 1 doe. Blue torts, Smoke pearl and Blue points.

The one baby from Cowboy X Foxy Lady is a Sable point buck- SO CUTE!

I think we may work on pictures today. We also are hoping to get the pet site finished this weekend. Tomorrow we do a shipment of 6 Jersey woolies to Ontario. On Tuesday 5 Jerseys go to Alberta, and then throughout the next couple of weeks a bunch more will go. That will be nice for cage space. We have 72 Mini lop holes and 52 we are keeping so far(not including the youngest litters) so we will need as many empty holes as we can get!

We decided how to work out our holes:
72 Mini lop holes. The mini lops are a really fun breed that we both enjoy, and they are our main breed. 4 holes for the Champagnes, and 4 holes for Red Satins as we have a huge demand for meat for the pet food industry, so we NEVER have a problem selling our culls. 8 holes for the Jersey woolies.

There are some breeds we would never try again, and we are offically finished with cavies for life(sorry cavy breeders) just not for us. (we haven't had cavies since last fall. I've tried them 4 different times in the past 8 years, but I just enjoy the rabbits that much more.

Well I should go and get my butt in gear... We are having a very lazy morning. Our mom is sick and usually we hear her early in the morning working around the house, but with being sick she didn't get up early so we both slept in, and then we've been getting caught up on e-mails etc. Now, I must go get some work done!

They are coming today!

It is a bittersweet story. Today is the last day we will see Andrea for a full year. This is going to be a tough day! : ( Her Dwarf hotots come today, for the next year... We will be breeding them for her, and showing them for her as well etc. We are both looking forward to it, as we've never worked with Dwarf hotots and will be something different!

There are 6 does, and 1 buck coming. She is also bringing 2 brand new stackers, 2 carriers, nestboxes, dishes, and their toys and pedigrees : )

We will get pics of them in the next few weeks to blog about : ) 2 of the does Classe and can't remember the other does name have litters of 2 each. And 2 more does are bred.

I will blog about the dwarf hotot experience as we go along over the next year. Keeping Andrea updated etc.

As I said it is bittersweet. I am happy and sad at the same time. I am really happy we can continue for her, as she put so much work into them the last 3 years genetically as well as breeding to the standard.

Can you keep a secret?


I had to tell a white lie. That is my secret. Why did I have to tell a white lie? Well, I'll tell you!

So, after a year of sitting I decided to sell my pick up. A really cute 91 Chevy Sonoma(pic attached with all of Andrea's cages from moving her from our farm to Wally's last year). So we charged the battery on the truck, and started it. The truck sounds FINE! Totally fine.

Now, what I haven't told you yet is we took the truck in and had $4000 of work done on it a couple of years ago. Last April we took it in for a tune up and everything was GREAT! Last May we had to sit the truck because we thought their was a noise coming from the engine (they had just put a new used engine in the October before (6 months before), and the truck ran beautifully. As soon as we heard the noise we took it to Crofton Auto who said yes, there is definetly something up. No warranty.. 3 month warranty ONLY on used engines. So of course, CRAP( or well, more terms for that but I won't write those ;) Beginning of May we drove the truck to Monroe WA, all the way down to Toledo I belive it was called to get French lops from Lynn and Patrick Eden. Something like a 5 hour drive. NO PROBLEMS with the truck.

Anyway to make a long story short we sat the truck for almost the last year, and had to start it once last fall to move it, and again it ran great no problems no noises.

So, I decide you know what? Screw it. Sell it! Norm was going to give us the van to use anyway, as he is buying a pickup in a few weeks. So, we thought sell the truck, keep the van and all is well. Well, now that the dumb thing sounds great I will drive it/put insurance on it for 3 months (will only use it for up to a month as then I will sell it as soon as Norm get his pick up). And get the other 2 months of money back. So, I put an add before we started the truck, on one of the sites for $1500, put about the motor occasionally making a noise etc. I've now had 3 phone calls, and 6 e-mails about the truck.

WELL! Now we've decided to drive it for a few weeks, because if it isn't the motor and isn't expensive to fix I will take it in to the auto place and get them to fix it and get more for it.. Then we will sell the Van, and put the money from the p/u and the van for a Ford F150 that I REALLY want ;)
I'm done with Chevs!

Anyway, where does the secret come in? I had to tell everyone that phoned and on the site that due to a family emergency I wasn't able to sell the truck for 2-3 weeks. Now, part of this is true. I have one family emergency I can't talk about, and another my step sister has cervical cancer and just had surgery this week in Alberta. That is all true.

So in 2-3 weeks we should be down two vehicles, up one vehicle for Norm, and then hopefully by beginning of May up one vehicle for me!! : ) Oh.. I can't wait : )

On rabbit news now... I will either blog or Cristina will in 2 secs on one thing, but Panache finally 3 days late had 3 babies, one doa peanut, and 2 either blues or dark smoke pearls doing great! Maggie and Mara are due on Monday, Sierra and the 2 Champagnes and Sophia(didn't take I don't believe) next Wednesday.

Off to either write the other blog.. Or get my butt in gear to wash a truck... Then off to the barn... (our other blog is about the barn)

Crazy week already

I can't even imagine what Andrea must be going through, moving for an entire year to Ireland.. All the things she has to do. I feel like we are moving to Alaska and this is just a daily thing for our house.

Taxes are due in a few weeks as everyone knows (here in Canada they are due on the 31st), well neither Cristina or I received our GIC info in the mail to do our taxes. So we searched for the last hour through our junk drawers in our desks (got them cleaned out too) and they definetly were not in there.. So she is on the phone right now to CIBC to get hers and then I will call for mine later. We have to go to Duncan to the accountant with our uncle in a few minutes, only been trying since last Monday to do that.

We have tons of things to do at the barn too, we have to make room for Andrea's 2 stackers, and we have to get things organized for the shipments this weekend and next week.

I will write later if Panache has finally kindled!

Luke is fine



We just got back from the vet, and Luke is healing nicely. I didn't think their was a problem but it is always better safe then sorry. It didn't end up costing anything either (thankfully), and he is healing properly! He goes in on the 22nd to be checked over, neutered, and get the one staple out.

A busy weekend



We had a very busy weekend. Friday we spent finishing up the show stuff, mailing all of it. Because we only had one vehicle until Saturday morning we had to take our mom to work at 3pm every day, and then head to the farm after that. Well, by the time we fed rabbits, had a quick visit with our grandma, and headed home it was already almost 6pm. Andrea was coming at 6 for dinner/visit for a few hours. We had a fun visit with her (as always) and she left at 10, we picked our mom up at 11.

Saturday morning we were up early to clean the barn. The day didn't go quite as planned. We got to the farm at about 10:30 because by the time we gave Luke his morning pills, and did a bunch of other things around here it was 10:30. We did get the barn cleaned though. Then, we head over to our grandmas about 1:00 for a sandwich and get a phone call that Luke has pulled 2 of his 3 staples out... So we rush home. Our vet isn't open on weekends so we either had to call them in for an emergency or wait until this morning. We decided to wait, as it is not infected and is nice and clean. He has an appt at 11:20. Plus we had to be in Nanaimo by 6pm and were rushing around like crazy as it was. Our mom and uncle made 5 trips to Duncan throughout the day Saturday for parts for the brakes for her car.

So anyway we ran home and did that. By then it was 2:30. We had to rush back to the farm, feed/water/hay rabbits, run back to the house to get ready as Saturday night was Andrea's surprise party at Kelseys in Nanaimo.

So we rush home.. Changed outfits about 8 times (at least for me), finally we were ready (okay I admit I was the slow one) at 5:00.. Then we had to run and get propane.. Well, the gas station was NUTTY busy, so we had to wait.. I think it was something like 5:20 before we even left Chemainus.

Now, you have to keep in mind with not having the car we had to use our farm truck. And when I say farm truck it really is. It does not have a working radio, the clutch is almost gone (I'm the only one that will drive it besides our dad who hates driving it so I am the sole operator 99.9% of the time when we have to use it), keep in mind the truck is almost 30 years old, and only has 4 gears (no 5 speed, no power etc). So... Starting out is slow, but painless (it really isn't that bad) and finally you can get it up to about 100-110km an hour. It could pull a house, but not win a race :- ) None of the dash pieces work (speedometer, battery, gas gauge), where the radio is supposed to be is a gigantic hole.... So anyway we made it at 5:55!! We had a great night visiting with everyone, got lots of pics and had a great dinner.

Sunday morning we headed to Ladysmith and Nanaimo, then to the farm and did pictures. Had someone return a Holland lop they bought as a pet 3 years ago (as they were moving). I felt so bad for the poor family, they I know are going to miss him so much. They sent his hutch and indoor cage, and bag of hay with him as well. He was very spoiled, if we don't find a suitable home for him we will keep him and they can come visit him whenever they like : )

I did manage to get a few pictures yesterday, and this week will be busy organizing shipments and transport next week. Kathy M is taking 5 Jerseys and 1 lionhead to the Alberta show for me(the lionhead is another breeders), for a buyer up there. Then there are 6 Jerseys flying to Ont hopefully on Sunday.

Secret Weapon had 3 kits by Munchkin, this is the same breeding as Fantasy! Just waiting on Panache now. I need to check due dates for all the other girls as well.

The for sale page is current, just a few left that we need to move out.

I decided to keep the tort jr doe I was going to sell. I figure I will grow her out and already she has a better body then dad, so I'm looking forward to watching her develop. Plus, I love the tort color! I think one of my favorites I've sold is Hardly an Angel- a chocolate sable point- what a fun color!

Well I better run. I have to take Luke in 25 mins and knowing him I probably have to find 6 tennis balls before we go.. ;)

A new page will be launched

We are in the process of launching/making a new page off our website. This page will be designed for the pet rabbit owner in mind, especially within this area(Vancouver Island) but could work for all areas of Canada (for some of it).

We will be selling Conditioning mix already made up in bags, with our labels. Bags of feed, if needed. And Bags of Orchard Grass Hay (2-3 flakes per bag), as most pet owners just don't have the room to store a 50-100lb bale of hay.

We will also be adding our rabbit sitting on our website, as we have been doing more and more of it these days. Stay tuned for all of this!

What a month...

April is just getting crazier by the day.

Yesterday Luke(the golden Retriever) and Harley(the Rottweiler) got in a huge dog fight. Luke started it, but Harley won... Big time.

Luke had 3 huge teeth puncture wounds on his right front leg. He was pouring out blood all over the place, we stopped the bleeding, and bandaged him all up (to keep the bleeding stopped). We then had to take the bandage off a few hours later and check it out to decide from there what to do. The incisions were quite deep and we figured he would have to get stitches. So we cleaned them, and left them cleaned and opened for the night as his leg was quite swollen.

We called the vet first thing this morning to have him go in. He may need surgery down the road, but for right now all is fine. He did have to have 4 staples on one bite, and the others are deep but not deep enough for staples. Poor guy. He is on Antibiotics, and Anti inflammatory. He is sleeping right now. He goes in on the 22nd to have the staples out, be checked out (we have to call right away if the swelling gets worse) and take him in.

We have to keep him quiet for 2 weeks.. That should be interesting. It has been no problem so far as he really isn't feeling good. He was quite mad that we weren't going for a longer car ride so he can't be feeling TOO bad : )

Star and River keep going up to him to make sure he is okay. And stealing the cheese we gave to him to put his pills in. (or trying too). They kept getting their own pieces. Every time we would stop giving them pieces they would start hitting us with their paws.. It was quite cute.. but got annoying lol! ;)

Cowboy and Fantasy's litter is doing good. They are getting very cute. Well that is all that is new around here... Quite a few of the Jerseys I put up for sale are pending. And 2 Mini lops we hadn't planned on selling but will be an excellent start to someone in GA will be shipped out over the next few weeks.

We have to keep a close eye on Luke, so today we have to go to the Accountant I think? With our Uncle for a few things, and then we have someone coming between 3:30-4 to look at Jerseys. Otherwise we will have to be at home monitoring him :- )

For sale page updated

The for sale page has been updated with many new pictures... Please check it out. We are having to be really picky with what we keep, as we are only working with Shaded woolies and there are some fantastic producers up for sale! Chantilly Lace produced Escapade... Snookums produced Cowboy, etc!

Kim :- )

Some new pictures

We managed to get a few new pictures today!

First, my favorite Jersey wooly (his pics will be on the website shortly) Leapin' Heza Smooth Cowboy- Blue point Senior buck. Cowboy is a sweetheart with gorgeous type, just unshowable color!







2nd- Posey's Escapade- Blue tort Junior doe (she is looking more blue tort these days!)
So everyone that wrote was right : ) She just isn't quite the proper shading of tort but I will work on that. Beautiful junior doe!





We also got lots of new pics on the for sale page, and will keep updating pics over the next few weeks!

I haven't sexed litters but lots of smoke pearls, blue points, and sable points in the boxes. As far as I remember they are almost all bucks.... *(sigh!)*

Rabbits BC, April 5th show

All went pretty well with the show yesterday, although the day did not start out well.

We found Tigerlily our 6 month old kitten had been hit and killed on the road. Of course, as you can imagine we are devastated. But knew we had to put brave faces on and go on with the day. I guess we looked pretty tired and worn out, as a couple of people commented we sure looked tired. Only 2 people knew at the show, and I don't think they told anyone so that was the start of our day at 5:30 yesterday morning.

The show went smoothly, a couple of small hiccups (comment card missing) but otherwise everything went very well! We had a lot of people who entered bucks who were does, does who were bucks ( lol)

We did very well with the mini lops. I will let Cristina post those results. We sold our 2-4 hole carriers we took to sell, plus a 2 hole! So that was great. About 1/4 of the plants, the nestboxes, about half the treat mix we made up to take to sell, and we have a few people interested in rabbits! So that was all great!

Jentle's Hero was BOS both shows. Leapin' Heza Smooth Cowboy ( I only showed 2 JW's) was DQ'ed both shows for being a blue cream or blue point ( I think blue point?) they raved over his type, and head though and Michelle said he would have been one of the top contenders if he was a showable color! Even Kathy Mannweiller commented on him being such a nice buck! So that was good. Cowboy is my favorite, so that was nice to hear! He is SO sweet!

Other then that, we were very tired and had the Myer family help to take everything down and put away. That was so awesome of them! And then Jody helped fold down tables, and did a bunch of sweeping so we were cleaned up and out in about an hour!!

We sold the Charlie the Champ buck to the Myer family, as George will get more use in our herd, and eventually down the road we will need to bring in a really good herd buck. For now, though, Charlie will help our depth out and we will see what is in that litter of 3!

I will be updating the sale page with new pics this week.

Some sale animals, litters, life in general

Life, as per normal around here is crazy. How could it not be with this many animals? Who in their right mind would have 5 dogs, 11 cats, 90 rabbits, goldfish and 5 cows? Well, I guess other rabbit people!!

We put a whole bunch of for sale animals up- check out the for sale page.

We are busy preparing for the show this weekend ( we are show secretaries). We are actually pretty organized, but, it is a lot of work. Today we had to go to the Cowichan Exhibition and get gate, bathroom, and show room keys. Then we had to drop off a sanction form for Cowichan Exhibition fair in September. Then we had pictures to take, rabbits to feed, visit with our grandma. Entries to work on etc etc. I mean life is nuts : )

Litters are doing fine. Unfortunetly for some reason the Champagne litter the babies keep coming out of the box. So we've lost 2 of the 5 : ( We just had the box made for us, and it is a deep big box, so there should be no reason for them coming out. I will rebreed the doe when the 3 remaining babies are 4 weeks, as a meat breed raising 3 babies is a little pathetic lol! (as long as she is in excellent flesh condition to rebreed, of course). Right now she feels excellent. She is a good eater. 2 cups a night or more, and babies are still in the box.(or supposed to be)

Jersey wooly litter is doing fine. Foxy Lady had 1 baby we fostered to Fantasy. Fantasy lost one of hers so is down to 5, is raising 6. All smoke pearls and blue points for all 6 babies.

We have some gorgeous mini lops that are now weaned. Can't wait to watch them develop! Lots of neat colors, we have lots of litters to keep an eye on over the next few months : ) Some nice show woolies too! Escapade, Built to last, and a blue jr doe.. I am selling Hardly an Angel... she is really nice and I may kick myself but I can only keep so many.

A few new pics of sale animals are on the website tonight. Being show secretaries we can do our own entries whenever, so we haven't figured ours out yet. I know I only have 2-3 Jerseys, and 1 Champagne to enter. Until we get the Mini lop club changed to both our names I won't be entering any mini lops(as I don't want to take sweeps under my name until we both have our names with the club!)

Otherwise nothing much else happening.. Super busy with all this show stuff, life, animals etc. I will try to start working on pics over the next week, after this show is over.
