"Garage" the Kitten

A few days ago, we found a kitten locked up in our garage. He obviously wasn't properly taken care of, as well as skittish, from the start I started holding him even if he wasn't very fond of it. Very quickly her didn't seem to mind.



We took him down to our vet clinic and had him tested for Feline Luekemia, and unfortunately, he tested positive. Idealy, in this case you euthinize him. Personally we didn't want to, so we set him up for a night to wait until doc got in in the morning to see what he would do. I'm a person who lets life take its course, and what needs to be done, needs to be done. I'm not really a cat person, but for some odd reason, I couldn't get this little kitten off my mind, I just really hoped doc either got busy in the morning or considered trying antibiotics.

Next day we get down to the clinic and talk it over with doc. Doc said we can give him 4 weeks and see if the Luekemia "Negs" out, as sometimes kittens will "shed" the luekemia and it turns negative. Luckily, we are giving him a chance, the sad part is we really don't know what happens after this, if he doesn't shed the disease.

We cannot keep him, but he surely is cute. If he doesn't go negative, if we rehome him, he's going to have to go to a special home and be a single cat. He is sooo much better than when we first found him, extremely playful and VERY loving. I just love him to pieces! Let's home things change.





He loves puring and making buscuits. So adorable.

And just to throw this in here, here's a picture of a little baby pug named "Pugsly" and I. :) I'm thinking about sharing photos I take at the vet clinic, what do you guys think?



Hope everyone is doing good, times appear to be hard. :(

Portola Valley Summer Show

We had a fun day at the show. I didn't have much to show and all I brought were bucks. Currently all of my does are either on litters or molting. What can you do, it's summer!

We got there an hour late and missed on class for woolies(Tan Pattern Junior Bucks), and an add on since I wasn't able to bring my Shaded Senior Doe, Shakira. I brought Caudill's Slim Shady(Self Senior Buck) as a replacement, as well as the regular line up of Wooligans/WWR Ro Sham Bo(Agouti Senior Buck), WWR Aladin(Agouti Senior Buck), and White Oak's Seshomaru(Self Senior Buck).

Placings were all pretty consistant. Ro Sham Bo was 1/2 and BOG all three shows, Aladin 2/2, Shady 3/3 in the two shows he showed in, and Seshomaru 1/2, BOSG, BOSB in show A under Carol Green and the next two shows 1/3 BOSG.

I did bring one fuzzy, Abraham, and he was First BJB both shows.

Most of all, it was a super fun show. The weather, food, friends, rabbits were all wonderful. :)

Here we have Sesh and Ro Sham Bo.

Hobb's Katie(brkn. opal) X Hobb's Tacoma(blue tort)

Little broken opal buck, who's name is WWR Philly.

He's completely adorable.



I will get the Summer Show pics up ASAP. They are on my facebook, but photobucket is such a hassle anymore... the new uploader they put up for some reason doesn't really work all the way through. There's a lot going on right now. Found a kitten in our garage yesterday as well as a 3 week old baby Jack Rabbit... what's next?

Fuzzy Lops

Hello all,
My best friend Katie, of Starlite Rabbitry is selling out of her American Fuzzy Lops and Lionhead rabbits. I went over to her house this evening, and as always, she has superior stock. I highly recommend emailing her if you are looking for/interested in either breed.

Though it is completely sad, I think Katie is making the best decision for HER, and that's was makes me happy. Sometimes you have to let life take its course without the obsticles. I don't have much to say, but I do want to say I respect her decision, and even though it is still sad, it's all going to be okay.

You can email her for a sales list at: kagee2003@aol.com

Katie's website: http://www.starliterabbitry.com/

Please keep Katie in your thoughts as this is a hard decision, this ISN'T *just* Starlite Rabbitry selling out, so respect and be kind!!!

Thank you,
Susie

JellyBean's Visits the Babies

It's been pretty hot here in Rio! The weather has been topping about 104* Fahrenheit. With temperatures like this, we most surely bring in the babies.

I brought them all in a big blue tupperware tub that we usually store hay in. Our cat JellyBeans watched them closely, and I watched her closely too, to make sure she wouldn't harm the babies.



I turn my back for a second, and when I turn around, I see she vanished. So I look inside the tub, and there she is, lying with the babies! She wasn't touching them or trying to eat them, simply just hanging out with them.



Pretty cute!!!

Stay Cool,
Susie
