This was my first rabbit show in a long time andthe day was crazy. The last time I went to where the show was being held I took a certain county road. Today, after we got gas in the car, we were starting from a different point then normal. So I took another county road that I was sure crossed the one the show was being held on it did. Well, what I didn't realized the county road were on was on went from being paved to unpaved. I also think the army had recently shelled the road for practice because there werelarge sized craters. These were not the normal Indiana post winter potholes.
So as I desperately dodge the holes I am hoping that when I get to the road I need to turn on it will be paved. My hopes did not materialize, this road to must had more of the same artillery craters as the other. The next few miles consisted of dodging from side to side aiming for the more shallow ones. Finally, we hit pavement again!
Normally this showruns very smoothly, normally. It was just crazy, didn't start on time, that was no big deal. There is usually a order to what breeds are judged, didn't appear to be one today. For example the Nethies are usually judged as a group, they were broken up into different groups, judged by different judges at different times.
Lionheads are usually the last to be judged. Today, it was English lops, Daisy was in her travel cage for a good portion of the day. I got her out from time to time, but after 11 hours, she was not in the mood to sit still. The judge was very understanding, as she was not the only one, but Daisy was not at her best. We got up at 5am and left for the show at 630am. It wasn't too far of a drive, but we needed get a good spot. We came home at 530pm, so it was a very long day. Put the bunny's back in their cages, cleaned up the travel cages and put them away.
When I went to put Daisy back into her cage she shot for the gap behind Sweeties cage. I was in no mood and did not have the energy to get her out, so I left her there. After I ate supper, I sat down watched tv and realized I needed to clean cages. A hour had passed since I left Daisy behind Sweeties cage, Iwalk into the rabbit room and she is still there, stretched out eyes half opened.
Karen and I only took four buns today, Titan, Daisy, Carmel and Tiny. Titan won best of breed in his variety, but he is finishing a molt, so it wasn't in the best of shape. Daisy after her long ordeal, won first, Carmel was disqualified for weight. He isn't overweight,the judge said heis larger then normal for a Lionhead. Tiny, came in second place.
No black Flemish does, I didn't expect to find one but I was hoping.
It was a very long day for Karen. My son's girlfriend was over last night and she is a sweet girl and atalker. Karen had two mystery shopper reports to do, she started them at 10:30pm and between my son's girlfriend talking to her and then he came up from the basement and talked to Karen also she didn't get them done until 330am. She went to bed right after that and got up at 530am for the show. Needless to say she did a lot of napping. In a way it was good things didn't go according to normal.
Sorry for the long post, I just looked at the time on my pc and it is very late. I have a bunch of bunny's waiting for their treat.
