SO HOT

It's been very hot here, as well as it seems to be every where else. Trying to keep the animals cool has been the hardest, but thankfully we haven't lost anyone. Waters have to be checked often and even if they have water, we check the temperature because it gets warm and the animals won't drink it.

We haven't ridden the horses, except for twice in the late evening and I no longer take Dazin for her walks...we really need some cool weather!

I tried mowing the grass today, however I felt like I was going to have a heat stroke, so I am putting it off until later on this evening. We have had a lot of storms, but it just seems to only cool things down for a minute and then it becomes "hot and steamy" outside.

My JW babies are doing good...growing like weeds and they are in their "cutest" stage.....chunky faces and the tiny ears. Hopefully they will turn out to be show quaility----if not, they will have to move on. I promised myself to stay small with the bunnies and I am sticking to it.

Hope that everyone is doing well and keeping cool....I sure can't wait til fall!

Latest news

It has been so hot lately and I am looking forward to the fall weather! I attended the Taylorsville night show and it was great to see all of my rabbit friends. I did notice that the number of people that were showing, has dwindled down compared to when I was showing a little over a year ago...it made me a little sad. Showing the rabbits is a great hobby and you meet so many wonderful and friendly folks...I want to blame it on our economy. Rabbit sells has also really seemed to have dropped off as well.

Thanks to Teresa B., I was able to bring "BL'S Lefty" back into my rabbitry, as well as a new addition...a really cute little blue doe, named Toy.

My new babies have opened their eyes and are jumping around in the nest box a little....they are so cute and hopefully will be some nice show bunnies.

I am looking for some cages, I decieded to go with hanging cages this time verses the stackers, because I just don't have alot of extra time to keep the stackers clean. If anyone has any available, please contact me with what you have and your asking price.

Other than that, I'm just trying to keep everyone cool and comfortable.....we are going to be in for one HOT summer. Hope all is well with everyone!

Taylorsville Night Show

I am planning on attending the Taylorsville night show on July 9th, however I won't be showing. The only doe I have at the present time has two babies on her and the buck is in a sever molt.

I am hoping to pick up another Buck and Doe, to get my rabbitry started back up. I have promised myself to keep it VERY small and manageable for me. I have a trio of buff- colored silkies that I would like to sell (asking $35.00 for the 2 hens and one rooster), if any one is interested. I have made the decision to stay with the Batham Cochin's. My email address is brandi_loughrey@yahoo.com if anyone would like me to bring them to the show.

My new babies are a broken chestnut (with a full butterfly, just not sure if it will have the 10% color needed to show) and a chestnut....not sure of their sexes yet. They are the tiniest babies that I have ever had before. I am so excited to be starting back up with the bunnies and hopefully can start showing Bones again sometime later this year.

We've had alot of rain lately, here in the Valley and it is much needed. It has cooled things off quite abit and is helping the tomato plants grow!

Not much else to report for the time being...hope everyone is staying safe and having a good summer.

It's about Time!

Bl's Intensity and Keep's Mini Me are the proud parents of 2 JW babies. Intensity kindled 4 this morning (2 DOA) one appears to be either a chestnut or an otter and the other is a broken charlie. They are VERY tiny, so I hope they survive. It has been many months since I have had any kits born---I only have 2 woolies at the present time. I'm hoping that the chestnut (or otter) is showable. I am sooo ready to start showing again, however I know that I won't be able to show until the fall---works out better for me, at least it won't be so hot!

I am excited about the new babies....this is the start up for my new rabbitry. I plan on keeping the name BL'S Bunnybarn, since it is already established with ARBA.

Other than that, I have no news...trying to keep all the critters cool is a full time job and I am staying busy with that.

Hope all is well with everyone!
