The weekend is over and it flew by once again! Saturday was the Crapaud Exhibition and it was a good time. There were over 70 rabbits in the exhibition, which is the highest number we have ever seen. The weather was great, and it wasn't too hot, which was nice for both us and the rabbits.
Our rabbits did well enough, I had a couple of new juniors that I was happy to get some comments on. Best in Show went to Bunny Hop Wabbitry once again, however it went to a different rabbit than the one who won the IRBA show.
I bought a nice little doe from Bunny Hop over the weekend. I can't take her home with me yet because I need to move some older rabbits and make room. We usually end up selling a few bunnies at the exhibition, but we didn't sell one this year!
I'm waiting on some of our Mini Rex to hurry the heck up and finish their molts! We have some nice seniors that we really want to show at some exhibitions this year. A black buck in particular. Our only senior entered in the exhibition won best of breed, because the juniors just can't compete with baby coats. Especially since fur is on 30pts. Even the senior that won really needs to molt, he's the only one who hasn't started to yet but he's a broken chocolate and he's starting to get that orangy color in his coat!
It was nice to have nothing to do on Sunday after a long day in Crapaud. I took a bit of a day off. I slept in, which I rarely get to do anymore! Then I decided I was only going to do what I wanted to do all day. So, I went to Brookvale and hiked through the ski resort with a friend and our dogs. Climbing up those huge downhill ski hills was hard work in the heat, but we had a lot of fun, and so did the dogs. It's a great place to explore in the off season, there were no bugs and there was no one around, so the dogs could enjoy time off leash. We just had to be careful not to get lost, because it's surprisingly confusing, and there aren't any signs. My next free day with half decent weather, I plan to go back. We were even thinking of camping there, it's just so amazing!
Well, that's my weekend in a nutshell. We have some babies due soon so I'll post soon to let you know what we end up with! Have a great Monday!
