Too many that we like too much!

As you already know we have cut way back on the number of rabbits we are keeping. But! We were pulling some juniors out that we were going to sell and we were like. But... we really like you! We want to keep you! They were our picks as babies but we didn't think we had room to keep them. We are trying to figure out if we can! The sable chin from Black Beauty was our 2nd favorite of the litter, she is looking gorgeous again! Katie from Addison, all the babies from Arabia are VERY nice, and the chestnut doe from Ava.. If we were to keep all these guys it would only still put us up to 41. With 50 holes.. So we would still be just fine.

We are having a very lazy, lazy morning. I went outside and took the dogs out for a pee and a romp. And came back into the house ate shreddies for breakfast and have been playing on the computer all morning. It is a beautiful day outside.. I should go do something.. but after digging a new septic line for 2 days, all our painting and house renovations etc.

Monday the 11th Star the dog starts dog training for her bad behaviour towards strangers, especially men... Hopefully this works!(she is 10).

This afternoon we are going to the river to find rocks for the wedding. We will paint them, put each guests name on them and our mom is buying lace today to make up gift bags for each guest... (with chocolates, candies etc)

Yesteday 2 pet mini lop babies went to their new home with 2 young boys(about 9 and 11). They will be spoiled rotten bunnies that is for sure!

We got a whole new septic line dug and put in. That was a lot of work! Everyone in the neighbourhood is finding their septics are going. I guess the septics around here were all put in around the same time, and they keep talking about putting sewers in but have never done it.

We were debating about going garage saleing this morning but couldn't find any adds in the paper. I wasn't looking in the right spot because I found nothing but I gave up and decided to go onto other things LOL

We started to type our youngest litters and are very pleased with some of the babies. Godiva and Butterball have the standout litters! Really nice babies in those litters! Midnight has a buck and a doe that are looking really nice, and Portia oh I forgot about her for a second there- she has a gorgeous, gorgeous chestnut doe and 2-3 others we like. The least liked litter is Midnights but it was a full brother/sister cross and we got the best and worst of both which we expected/was to be expected. However, still 2 really nice babies! All way too young to know for sure but at least on first typing : )

Our first show since early June(besides sending the 2 rabbits to WA State Convention) is on the 16/17 so only 2 weeks from this weekend. We are looking forward to it, and should have quite a few to show if they ever stop moulting. We tried to breed 3 does yesterday but didn't have much luck. Black Beauty X As You like it- no connecting that we saw, Audrey X Brayden- they did connect, should be a litter with dilutes! And Ocean Pearl X Imagine- another litter with dilutes we hope but no connecting either. We will keep trying! Ocean Pearl is being a pill to get bred. I think our first and only Mini lop so far!

Well I am rambling!!!
