The Convention was fun!! I was running a fever and not feeling 100%, but still had fun. Saw Pam judging, but couldn't seem to catch her in a down time. She was busy, busy, busy!
I bought an intermediate black French Lop doe and a 10 wk old Cali doe (for my daughter). They're both really nice. I saw another French jr. doe for sale, but wasn't paying $200 for her.
Got a big bag of Critical Care, and some other odds and ends. Checked out some of the carriers they have, and saw some that are on my "wish list".
I do think they need to allocate more space for the actual judging. With all the people that had to bring their rabbits ahead of time to the tables, on carts, and the lawn chairs, and those with rabbits actually on the table, you couldn't even move, much less see any of the actual judging. Friends that I bought my other Frenchies from were there, with their Flems, and we were able to actually hear the judge's comments and watch the judging. The youth wasn't nearly as congested as the open, so hung out there gathering information.
There were a couple of the girls from my daughter's 4-H club that were showing, so she hung out with them, helping (and checking out boys, if their conversations were any indication. LOL). This was her first rabbit show, and she agrees it looks like fun. After showing horses from the time she could walk, she was like, "You just plop them on the table then pick them up when the judge is finished." LOL I tried to tell her that, but I guess seeing is believing, or she thought I was just pulling her leg. haha
All-in-all, a very good time. I really wanted to see the rabbit hopping tomorrow, but unless I'm feeling better in the next few hours, it won't be happening. :-(
Pics of the two new girls (not posed, taken by my daughter):
She didn't come with a name, so we've been calling her Rosa..anyone have any better suggestions???
This is Trisha, the 10 wk. old Cal. It's a new line that the breeder is working on, and he said my Al's Cal buck should cross really well with her. We shall see...
