Yum pocky yum!

As I type this I'm munching on some Pocky. :) It's been a long day at work- a continuous 10 hour day. I'm not a morning person- but nothing makes me happier than being at the vet clinic in the morning. Seeing my co-workers, boss, doctor all settling in, starting out with some coffee and preps for the day. It's quiet and calm. It puts you in a good sane mood because you know what the day holds for you later. I love saying "Good morning." Its probably one of my favorite phrases because 98% of the time, you get a smile and a "good morning" back. It's just the start of your day.

Sorry for me rambling. I have a few photos to share today. Sorry, not yet the convention pictures. >_< You know a little about what treats I like, what about the bunnies?

1) Oats- oats are a wonderful treat our bunnies enjoy anytime. A hand full of rolled oats a couple days before a show could put a little more condition overall on your bunnies. Some oats mixed in your feed in the winter is a great way to keep dense puffy coats in the winter.

2) Sunflower seeds- need an extra "shine" to those winter coats? ;) A good way to gloss is to give a pinch of black oil sunflower seeds every couple of days. Mixing some into your rabbit feed works too- just make sure you do not add too much, you don't want to make the feed to hot.

3) Hay cubes- alfalfa or timothy, hay cubes are especially awesome for shows! It's a good way to avoid all that hay that gets stuck on or in their coats. Make sure they are fresh cubes, get them from a feed store or online where you know they are fresh. Mine will not touch the ones from a pet store, they are old, not fresh, and just plain yucky.

4) Shredded wheat- a good way to make my bunnies go bonkers is to wave a strawberry frosted mini wheat above them. Such torture! LOL. Not too many, though it is hard not to give "just one more" after they finish the first one or two you give them. The imprint of a sad puppy dog face up against the wire cage door comes to my mind. Heart breaking! :P

5) Papaya cubes- papaya is great for preventing wool block. A good friend of mine, Lisa of Wooligan's Rabbitry, her children used to call this "bunny candy". Most defiantly correct! A couple small cubes every other day or a spear a week was what I was always told as recommendation, however, we don't give it as often as we'd like. Pineapple works too. I prefer feeding it dried.

Just thought I'd share! :)


Hare's Mystic "GG2", who is for sale.


WWR New York Minute, a sable point doe out of Hare's Mystic and LeSage's Shakira.


WWR Rawk, a very nice Siamese Sable buck, litter mate to the doe above.

Wonderful Day at Turlock

Yesterday we attended the rabbit show in Turlock, CA. We celebrated one of my very good friends Christina's 21st birthday(early), which was loads of fun! It was such a great day and it was great to see everybody, like always. :)

I am going to note my two noticeable wins of the day. In Show A, Jersey Woolies OPEN my buck Thumperhill's Ammadon won Best of Breed! This will be his sixth leg. In show A American Fuzzy Lops OPEN my new buck from convention, Twin Elm's Independence Day received 2/8.

For show B, AFL Open, "Indy" received 1/8, BOV, and BOB! I was so truly shocked and unbelievably happy! The AFL competition is tough as CA holds some of the top breeders in the nation. I'm still so very happy.

Independence Day was a buck at convention I was eying the whole week I was there. Until one day(day before last), I stood by his coop admiring. Then I just saw it. A sales tag. I pulled out my phone and dialed the phone number! Met up with the owner, and once I felt him I told her, "I'll buy him!" Thank you so much Adrienne and Patricia Terry for selling me such a *wonderful* buck. :)

I took a picture with the judge, Scott W. from Colorado. I have always admired Scott's judging, he was our open judge for AFL Nationals in Monterey, CA in 2007. Not to mention, our open AFL judge at the 2008 ARBA Convention, in Louisville Kentucky just last week!


With a good excuse, theres a reason for our silly faces. LOL.

I uploaded some Convention pictures! Hope to post some tomorrow or Tuesday. Here are a couple of the new convention bunnies settling in...





One last thing to mention, we have done some Nationals breedings! They are late since the National's show date is earlier than expected... but hopefully it will work. :P

Fuzzy Lops:
Due Dec. 6th- Hobb's Katie X Twin Elm's Indy
Due Dec. 10th- WWR Olga X Twin Elm's Indy
Due Dec. 10th- FH's Luvlee X Lucky Lop's Addison

Jersey Woolies:
Due Dec. 6th- WWR New York Minute X Thumperhill's Ammadon
Due Dec. 6th- WO's Blue Belle X Wendover's Banana Pancakes
Due Dec. 6th- Brightside's Paix X LeSage's Cracker Jack

And I'm sure there are more to come!

Yes, I'm alive.

I haven't had much time to update my blog! I've been home from convention for a week now. However, I've been catching up on homework and work has been taking up most of my time! I have a show tomorrow in Turlock, Sunday I have to do a great amount of homework, Monday I have school and work, Tuesday- I'm hoping things will go back to normal again. :)

Convention was great! Kentucky was great! My first plane flight went great too. :) The momories, fun, excitement, ah it was a wonderful experience that I'm sure I will be talking about for quite a bit of time.

My bunnies did okay, I had a few "top ten" placements. Like I had said, everybody decided to molt, I think they thought it was a way to get out of it. :P I took 6 bunnies, sold 3, came home with 8. We have FIVE new bunnies from different locations of the nation I'm very proud to have brought home.

I'll add a picture of a little doe I came home to. This is WWR Raquel. She's a cutie!


I took pictures at convention. I hope to upload/share those soon! :)

Bye-bye Bunnies!

Today we waved goodbye to our dear 6 bunnies who will be attending the ARBA Convention in Louisville, KY.

I have to say, it is heartbreaking. You wonder if that will be the last time you will see them and if they are going to make it there and back okay. However, I do not further those emotions as we do not need any of those "bad vibes" floating around and connecting.

I wish Gail and Chuck the very best and safest drive. Tonight they plan on only making it to NV. Our very last words being, "See you in Kentucky!" just gave me that feelings, WOW- this is OFFICIAL! This is really happening! I've waited a few years for this moment. I'm am quite stoked, I may add.

My best entry, WWR Sango, will not be attending convention. This is such a shame, she just isn't in coat and I will not put her through stress if she isn't finished enough. She is such a deserving doe, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Nationals or Convention 2008?! I THINK SO! :)

I want to thank EVERYONE for the good-luck wishes and safey thoughts! I truly appriciate it. <3 I plan on giving blogs *hopefully* while I am there. If not, expect lots of TALK and PICTURES when I return!

I added a blogging link to my side bar- Tru-Luv Rabbitry. If you aren't checking out Tim's blog already, I highly reccomend it! I hope you don't mind Tim. :) I have a couple other blogs in mind I'd like to add to it, but I think its time for bed...


Until next time...

P.S. 3 more days! Eeek!!! LOL.

Stockton Rabbit Show- 10.18.08

Hello all,
Today was a great day at the Stockton, CA show. The weather was perfect. This was by far the smallest Stockton show I have ever been too!

Though I attended, I did not show. I delivered a few sales rabbits and hung out all day with our friends. I want to welcome Rachelle of Wroyal Reign Rabbitry back into the rabbit hobby. :) She picked up WWR Carly and WWR Highfives. I think she has gotten a wonderful start with her American Fuzzy Lops. I really hope my two girls fit in well and will make beautiful babies for you.

Rachelle, Katie(Starlite Rabbitry), Amber(Wonder Woolies Rabbitry) my mom and I sat down and had conversations with each other. Its been a long time since we've had such a relaxing show with no tension! I think it was great, and even with a week before ARBA Convention- it was what I needed. (I need to stay sane, ya know. ;)

I took a couple pictures of some Fuzzies. I'd like to share.


Starlite's Jamba- an Orange Junior buck owned and bred by Katie of Starlite Rabbitry. Jamba did really well for Katie!


This is a little Fuzzy Holland Lop that my good friend Teri Reymann of Sonshine Rabbitry had gotten in a litter. This little guy was exceptionally typed, and will probably make his new owner proud. :)

It was great seeing everybody today and nice meeting you, Rachelle!

Our Stockton Winnings, Convention is quickly approaching!!!

We attended the Stockton, CA show last weekend, and did acceptionally well! I was showing a good amount of Junior Jersey Woolies who had just made weight. I have to say, I was quite proud to put on and take off my animals who were showing.

The numbers were AMAZING! The last Stockton show I remember the numbers being low and dissapointing. There were 45 Jersey Woolies in Open and 22 Jersey Woolies in youth, but only 10 Fuzzy Lops in youth which was a little low, but acceptional. I showed my Jersey Woolies(besides two) in Open. :)

And congratulations to Desi who won BOB Open show A with WWR Sir Mix A Lot!!! (and man, am I stupid for selling him, but I'm so happy he couldn't be with a better owner! :D)

I brought home a super cute little Chestnut Fuzzy Holland from the Maki family. Thank you so much Sarah! She's a doll.

It was a busy but great show day. Of course seeing our friends was awesome too. I kinda didn't see the wooly gang too much because most of the day I was at different tables with my bunnies. :P

So, the other night we entered for Convention. I thought I was going to be nervous as I was making the entry but it was super quick and easy! I entered 8, two fuzzy lops and 6 jersey woolies. I'm excited! One month away... I hope everyone keeps their coats together. Nerve wracking! LOL.

I need to get you all pictures of our very few babies... :P I bred one more doe today, Wooligan's Kitty to WWR Sleeptalker. ;)
