Today has been a looong day again, so I am heading to bed early in a bit. But first, I have some updates!
Checkers was adopted, he still lives in Knoxville, and had a New Bunny Slave Daddy Named Nick, Congrats to both! :bunnydance:
Congrats to Ginger Snap as well, she found a wonderful lady in Knoxville that had never had a bunny before, so she will get all the love she could ever hope for! Congrats to Ginger and Lacy!:bunnydance:
Since Steve's OP is tomorrow I shut down most of the rescue works, minus caring for the rabbits here. So of course we had a shelter call to pick up to pulls on their last day. I picked them up but they are living with our foster Amy. They are very young Mini Rex girls, maybe 4 mos old (Jr. Nails, trust me my arms are allmessed up!). One is Castor (it must be a common color, as we get mostly Castor Mini Rexes) and the Other is Blue?? ish with some tan, but not dark enough for Blue Otter, so I will be looking that up in a bit. They are yet to be named, Amy will be doing that, but the blue girl only has a tiny little nub tail, so well I have some name ideas.
I had a lady show up today at our house asking about the rabbit rescue, funny we never give our address out.... She said our neighbor Cindy told her that we did the rescue and she was over Cindy's and thought she would just drop in :shock:. I was not at all prepared for that, but she got some bunny love anyway. She even filled out an adoption form. Oh its another Teacher at the school Cindy teaches at, very nice lady and former bunny salve.
My little brother is getting more into his 4H donations! He has started raising rabbits, a few different breeds (that I will list in a min.), and donating a few from his litters to 4H kids, my dad is even getting built hutch business out of it. So if you know of any great 4H kids, email me, he should have some litters very soon! I plan to do the same with the babies I don't keep myself out of my Angora litters. He is going to the Middle TN show on the 24th and he is coming home with a trio of Harlies, 2 pairs of Mini Satins, and a single REW Mini Rex buck with 3 legs. Caleb is our show guy, he has been in 4H and showing rabbits now for about 7 years, lord that sounds like a long time for him. He is a great person, he was the one that thought of the donating bunnies to 4H kids, thought of it all by himself! He is really excited about the Mini Satins, as he is just not getting REW but Himis, and his Harlie Trio is headed by a very nice looking Jr. Buck that shoulddo well in showwith two pretty good looking girls. Yes, we are a bunny family.
He is going to have: Harlies, Mini Satins, Nethies, Mini Rex, and he has a pair of English Angoras.
We also had to say good by to our 4 rehab snapping turtles today. My parents are rehabers for TWRA and they had 4 of the cutest baby snapping turtles that ended up in a pool (thankfully with no Chems!). They came to my parents just the size of a quarter, but now they got up to just under the size of your palm, so they had to go back to the wild. We drove them down to the Natural Center by the river here and let them go, and boy were they ready to go! Cute, but nasty little guys, so yeah they had to go.
Anyway sorry to keep going on, hope everyone has a nice night, and I am going to spend a bit of alone time with Steve before we go to bed,NCISis on.... We have to be at the Hosp. at 9, whichs means really like 8. But I will keep everyone updated on him and how I get along with a house that feels full of his family: his mom, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson....
Must be nice for the kids to get a chance to show a rabbit and get one and not having to spend a bunch. Nice for the parents, too, I guess.
