Usually by this time of the year, I have a full-blown case of cabin-fever - but I think it will bypass me. It seems we have endless chores to do in the rabbitry lately; the cleaning is ever challenging, especially in this cold weather, and of course we have nails to trim, molting coats to groom and nestboxes to wash.
Show season is just around the corner now and we should be excited, but at this point, I am just trying to figure out how to arrange all my weekends to accomodate everything there is to do - in addition to the weekend rabbit shows, Jody has taken up playing airsoft - which is almost a type of roleplaying game, similar to civil war reenactement, but using modern day military uniforms and replica military and assault rifles that shoot non-lethal plastic bbs. These ‘games’ are held throughout our state on weekend days so we have these to add into our schedule, not to mention the already-planned soccer games and soon-to-start high school track meets. My head is spinning.
I really want to do two things most of all: 1)work on my websites using my new computer (yes, I have a guardian angel who saw to it that I needed a new computer…..one I could never afford on my own), and 2)breed and show my Polish rabbits. But who am I to think I can expect to eek out some time for just my own pleasure?? foolish idea…..
Rabbits are all doing great, we have a couple of nice looking young Hollands that should be ready to show come April or so, and Kelly has two litters of French Lops almost ready to be weaned - her next new show string hopefully!
Kelly has sold out of all the rabbits she intended to sell, well actually, the last two she sold - she should of really kept them as we are going to the ARBA Convention this fall in Michigan, but she was convinced she’ll end up with some good stock from these litters she has now. Hope she is right!
Bitter cold expected this weekend - button up everyone!
