Life.. And rabbits!

Just thought i would share some stuff. Right now we have an amazing chicken area! Though we only have three we have room for about 3 more! They love it out there especially because the water from the rabbits misters rolls down to there coop and it builds up in the corner which attracts a lot of bugs. I expect to get some more when school starts. Also I just got my permit and driving is a little frustrating at first. My mom is getting a new car because hers is beginning to be non-fixable. Which means i have to wait to start driving until after she picks out a new car. Don't want to break down on my second time driving! Depending on what she gets i might have to learn to drive in my sisters car (scary!) because if its very fancy and on the large side then my mom wants to me drive my sisters car so i can learn in a smaller car, But if she gets a sport car (like the one she test drove yesterday) then i can learn to drive in it! Also i have some lovely steels in my convention litters! but im also getting people from different states asking for my convention babies. I don't know who to get rid of i like them all! besides the ones im selling as pets. The only broken buck in Autumn and Gabriels litter is having really bad eye issues.. i have treated it with teramycin and go dry and i have given him just a dab of liquamycin in the mouth. He is in a lot of pain which makes him close his eyes and when he closes his eyes it makes his eye get matted again. Its a vicious cycle! and his mom and siblings keep licking his eye so when we got to wean today i will separate him from his siblings. Also there are rumors that my FFA might close down after fair! i have been desperately working towards my state degree and i would be very upset if that was real! a lot of schools in california are losing their FFA programs but i thought we had a lot of support at our school or at least enough to keep it open. Well thats all i have to say.
Have a fantastic week! Only one more week tell summer school is over for me!

The new BABIES


So my convention babies are looking fantastic! I have a variety of colors from, black chins, blue chins, blues, smoke pearls, Silver tipped Steels, and my favorite smoke pearl chins :).
Featured in this picture is my smoke pearl doe, Esther. She has a great head and her crown is actually pretty nice though you cant tell from this angle. She is for sure going to convention. My goal is to place once! thats a lot to ask especially for my second year of going to a convention but even if I don't place Mall of America will be worth it!!
Well I hope everyone is doing well and I hope your convention babies are showing promise! :)
Have a wonderful summer,
