Rabbit Show in Storrs, Connecticut

[JadeIcing]

Have to wait and see if I can go. Part of me is worried that I will come home with a flemish doe.

 

[jupiterannette]

Me to! :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

It is all day. People start arriving around 7am (like me) and the actual show starts at 9am. I am so bad, I still have to send in my entry.

JadeIcing - Let me know if you can go. I will still pick you up no problem. I would be there probably around 6:15am. However, I am probably going to stay right till the end and that may be till 5pm.

[JadeIcing]

I am there! As long as I don't get sick that morning. In which case I willlet youknow.

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

Don't forget to PM me with directions to get to your house. Don't get sick. Chubbs is going and he wants you to hold him.

Sharon

 

[JadeIcing]

*squeel* CHUBBS! God I fell in love with him.

I will soon. :biggrin2:

 

[JadeIcing]

After it is all said and done I don't think I will go to the show. I have soooo much I have to prepare for and need every spare moment. As of yesterday no time off can be requested till Ded 16. So I have to cram all my things into the days off I have.

 

[BlueGiants]

Awww shucks! That's too bad.....We'll miss you... but I can't understand what could POSSIBLY be more important than a rabbit show?

(Take care of what you have to do, while you can!)

 

[jupiterannette]

So who is going tomorrow?

I am!

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

I am going. I am bringing 14 rabbits with me. Bringing 12 to show, 1 to breed, and 1 to sell. I love this show as it has awesome ice cream across the street.

Sharon

 

[JadeIcing]

I wish but sooooo much to do! Take pictures?

 

[BlueGiants]

HI all... have to let you know, I will not be going tomorrow :sad:. Until I find out what the rabbits died from (since the dog attack) I don't want to stress them out anymore. A couple are acting stressed, a couple are still not eating right...and I can't take a chance on losing anymore.

I had another rabbit autopsied and am having the samples sent up to Cornell...I have to know if I'm dealing with a biological issue or a stress related issue.

My kids are mad at me... (not going) my husband is mad at me... (writing off the entry fees!) but I have to do what's best for the rabbits.(With apologies to my human friends...)

 

[JadeIcing]

You are doing what is right. My prayers are with you.

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

No apologies necessary. There are other shows and there is no need to stress them out.I have never completely stayed home from a show but have left rabbits home on purpose because they just weren't themselves. It is safer to leave them home. You will be missed.

Are you planning on going to the Wine Country RBA show in Ithaca, NY? I am, just wasn't sure if you were planning on going or not.

Take care of those rabbits and if there is anything I can do...please let me know.

Sharon

 

[BlueGiants]

I've never stayed home from a show either... first time in 10 years.... talk about depressed!

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

Hmmmm, nobody said YOU had to stay home. Why not just come bunnyless?

Sharon

 

[BlueGiants]

Nahhh.... my heart would be breaking.... and I feel likeI need to be home incase something else happens. (And I don't want to have to tell everyone what happened... not yet.)

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

Very true. You will be missed.

 

[jupiterannette]

Sorry for your losses cathy. hope everything gets better for you!

and somebody better have some flemish there!

PS

what is the everage price for a pet flemish..

i am used to 20$ for the ones from the farm....

i jsut dont want to get ripped off...

and are blues more expensive??? females???

im looking for a blue doe. matuer age.. for pet ONLY.

thanx!

 

[BlueGiants]

I don't want to discourage you butthe blues are pretty rare... Iknow one other person that shows blues that might be there, but I don't think she has any right now... (I just gave her a handsome blue buck to breed her does with 2 weeks ago...)

Most people get $50-75 for the Flemish... (sometimes you can get a doe that won't breed for less).

I'm sure there will be other colors there.
