My favorite and worst rabbit moments

I have a lot of favorite rabbit moments, and definitely some not so good moments as well.

One of the worst "Show" rabbit moments was, we were supposed to go the VIEX fair, and we had a really bad week, between college and I can't remember what else we were in lousy moods.

Usually if we are complaining on a Friday afternoon or Evening we totally forget on a Saturday morning and are raring to go(even that early in the morning).

Well, this one morning we woke up, and went to go to the barn to load the rabbits.

We were already over an hour late, NOT something we normally are. We are normally one of the first people at the shows! Anyway, we were late, grumpy and really thinking we should have skipped this day. Well, the truck won't start, so now, not only are we late, we have no wheels and we haven't even loaded rabbits yet.

So, we had to use our old, old farm truck with no canopy or anything. We loaded up all the rabbits into the back, and put a big piece of plywood over them, and headed on our way to the show. Very slowly I might add!!!

We get to the show, and Cristina gets a rock in her sandal. It took something like 25 mins to get the rock out, and Vern from M&S rabbitry helped her get it out(I think he thought we were nuts) but anyone that has had a rock in there sandal going into there foot knows how annoying and uncomfortable it is! We were trying to unload rabbits and we are so late judging has STARTED. NOT something Cristina and I ever do. Literally, if judging starts at 9:30 we are at the shows by 8am. If judging starts at 8 you can expect to see us there between 6:30-7. Now, for college/school if I showed up 1 min before the classes started that was good for me. Cristina was ALWAYS early :- )

Anyway we had DQ's for our hollands- light toenails on an opal, and we didn't do well at all with any of them. This had to have been in 2005. 2004 was the Best in show with Aerik, and 2006 was the last time we showed the hollands.

One of the best moments was winning my first "real" best in show with Sunny's Aerik a French lop buck in 2004. We had a best in show the year before with Sunny's can't remember her name, but Cera Young had that doe/was showing her so we could take credit for the breeding, but not the Best in show. Anyway, that was a great day.

One of my other best moments were all the trips to Enderby BC to the rabbit show. I think we went 3 years, and I loved it. The okanagan is beautiful, and they have the old drive in movie theatre. It was always so much fun, our mom would come with us and we would stay the weekend and go out for dinner, and we would go as tourists etc. Maybe one of the okanagan people reading this blog, will start a show up again- HINT HINT! Boy, those were the days, so much fun!!

Another bad rabbit moment was some of the US trips, getting lost, terrible motels, stinky rabbits, oh the fun lol!

Last year and the beginning of this year has been a great showing year(s) for us, and we are grateful for that.

Other favorite rabbit moments are all the times hanging out with our rabbit friends, and chatting rabbits, visiting our friends with rabbits and going through there herds. Something I wouldn't trade for the world!
