This handsome blue tort buck bred by Barry Hustins/Ft. Cowan and happily owned by me was one bouncy bunny yesterday but did sit still enough to show his stuff. Now I reallllly need to get a photo up of him. Oscar, who I bought as a junior, is the pairing of Cowan's Oliver bred back to his mother Cowan's Anne Miller. I repeated the breeding and am really liking his younger brother who is BBF's Orrin on the juniors page. Orrin looks very much like Oscar did as a junior. Oprah isn't the Only One with an "O" list. (Oliver, Oscar, Orrin)
The juniors were a bit crazy on the show table (not just mine) but they wouldn't be juniors otherwise, right? They must have been taking their first show day in stride though as they cleaned out all their food while in the carriers for the first time too. I got to stop feeding them Mexican jumping beans I guess.
While not always possible, when a club can get into the building the night before to set up, it is helpful to both them and the exhibitors. The show ran well, thank you Sec. Jill, Dee and Chey and we were headed home before 4 p.m. The kitchen had great food. The Shepherd's Pie was homecooked cozy food and as always Janice B.'s Whoopie Pie cake, yummy. Lots of compliments on the awards being something different other than trophies. Wall hanging message keeper boxes with framed bunny print on front, three picture framed message board, glass framed bunny prints, shadow boxes, tapestry bunny pillows, etc. Trophies are nice but winning something you can put in your home that is useful and even non-rabbit people appreciate, even better.
Came home to hubby finishing up cleaning small drop pans, so we put the rabbits away, washed up and headed into town for a celebratory dinner. Yeah!
