Tulamore Farm & Rabbitry

Life is never dull around here. There's always something going on. Today I met my friend Thevee at the Tractor Supply store for some fun shopping - I remember when fun shopping to me meant Saks or Neimans! She needed to pick up a grooming table that Dru had made and left with me last weekend so we added a little thrill to the trip with the TSC shopping spree.  While standing in my driveway chatting, a truck pulled in. It was a man whose family had bought two angoras from me more than two years ago. Here is a picture with Maura the day they left for their new home:

and here they are with some of their littermates --

Their family has fallen on some hard times and could no longer take care of the bunnies. So here they are back with us. They are not in "horrible" condition but needed some mat removal and talon clipping and they could use some groceries. Annie and I worked on them after dinner. Here are before and after pictures:

These bunnies come from my original lines. Their mom, Severine, always produced the most intense color. She was a vibrant fawn. There has been discussion about there actually being red English Angoras in existence. I'm not sure where those discussions lead but there are 3 reds on Severine's pedigree.

I'm sorry that the family is having such problems but I am glad that they thought of the welfare of their bunnies and brought them back to me. We'll get them fluffed and plumped and find good homes for them. They will always be our babies.

UPDATE: Our two fosters are doing very well and will be going to their new home soon. Here are pictures from 11/16/09.

Speaking of visitors, when Dru visits she always brings gifts. She must know how much we are enjoying Maura's Call Ducks - look at what she brought us!
