Is this November?

I don't know about you, but I think this weather is awful! Yet, I don't really want it to be 35 degrees either.

I don't mind the heat, but my animals hate it. And with Harley having to stay quiet and live in the barn for the time being I wouldn't want the heat to come. Harley gets too hot in houses(being a big dog, lots of fur!) and the slippery floors aren't good either. And no stairs in the barn, so it just works out better all ways around.

He got a new toy yesterday, and he has his balls and the cats and rabbits and radio etc. He is quite content!

I just have one trio of Jersey woolies left. The 10 haven't been paid for yet, but I have been in contact regularly with the people getting them and they have promised to send payment. I've organized transport and will drop them off next week/Friday to the transporter!

The trio left is GC RH's Tonka, Leapin Mara- 1 leg/REG, and Leapin Hot Flashez 1 leg/REG
I am asking $150 for the trio- way less then they are worth that is for sure! I was originally asking $125 for Tonka alone. Very nice rabbits. They were unfortunetly supposed to go to Atlanta GA and then the airlines kept giving us a hard time AFTER we got health certs so these guys have also been vet checked. How often do you find that- lol!

We spent 8 hours yesterday working on books for the company we are book keeping for(our uncles), plus we had to do a whole bunch of photocopying and making up bills and all kinds of things. Plus we had to run downtown for more paper and various labels etc. It was a busy day.

Today I've been busy getting pedigrees organized. We look to have a shipment of approx 10 rabbits going to Quebec/Montreal next week, plus all the transport rabbits will leave next Friday- empty barn! I think we are down to only 2 holes maybe 3 empty now.... That will be nice! We decided to breed a few more does.. We counted how many babies in the Mini lops(only ML's) born this spring that lived(didn't count the few that were DOA and we had one baby from Addison's 11 that didn't make it past 5 weeks, and one from Sara's as well. Anyway, we had 117 born! That includes the newest 28! We decided to go ahead and breed a few more first time does before the heat comes. We can have a couple of litters to play with this summer, that way. And we will start breeding again late September.
We also rebred some does that didn't take. Neither Penny or Butterball took (at least we didn't feel anything) so we rebred both those girls. Penny we bred back to her sire Heath for a chocolate/broken chocolate and lilac litter! And Butterball we bred to Black Jack. That should be a nice cross! And Cocaine we bred to Huffle, for a rebreed of a doe named London that Jen from Rah Rabbitry had that was awesome. We also attempted to breed Godiva since she went an entire year without having a litter, and we weaned off her litter a few weeks ago. She is in prime(a little chunky) condition, so we tried to breed her to As you like it. And we tried Ocean Pearl with Imagine. We will re-try those 2 girls today, and breed Midnight as well.

All we will have left after next Thursday or Friday is the 4 rabbits to go to 100 mile house(jersey woolies) to Patti and family- Cowboy, Panache, tort buck and Chantilly Lace and baby. And the dwarf hotots, and all the mini lops. Oh, the last trio of JW's if they don't sell before...

We got an e-mail from Andrea asking us to sell the dwarf hotots for her, as she doesn't feel she is at a point to keep them. We are waiting to make sure she is absolutely certain and then we will put them, the 2 stackers, and the carriers(maybe?) up for sale. She may want to keep the carriers I'm not sure. About 12 dwarf hotots IF she is truly positive will be for sale.

We will be down to one breed again, and you know what it is the right thing to do. I like just having one breed.
