Tulamore Farm & Rabbitry

I had only decided earlier in the week to go to the Blue Ridge Rabbit show in Charles Town, WV. It is not a long drive and I am so unsure about being able to get to the other scheduled shows. The way my calendar stand now I won't be able to go to any in October (so I'm going to try for Mullica HIll and Delmarva!). It threatened to rain but just stayed overcast and windy which I'll take any day over hot and humid. This show last year was a hurricane day and we felt the remnants of an east coast storm. I only took 4 angoras and one Dwarf Hotot doe since I was without the valued assistance from my daughters.

In the first show, Delilah was BOB with her brother Aspen BOS. All 4 (Tommy and Sam came too) got very nice comments from Judge Stacy Bollinger-Sauter. Aspen is developing nicely - he must be to get BOS over Tommy! Dwarf Hotot judge Roger Cota placed Mordrid first in her senior doe class but picked the very cute Funck junior doe entry as BOS to the BOB senior buck (Vernonika's).

Second show - same placings for both breeds (very close for Mordrid in the DH again) but this time Judge Rusty Westhoff gave Delilah 2nd Reserve in Show. She's only been a senior for a week so I'm hoping this is the start of good things for her for the fall shows. BIS went to a Dutch (Martins?) and 1st reserve went to Lynn Miller's French Lop (I love those basketball bunnies). The shows in Charles Town are always fun and the show committee from BRRCC was very welcoming.

My celebration was cut short by a phone call from home. Rabbit problems that I will write about after the outcome. That's why I'm up so late - keeping a very close eye on a very important doe. Cross your fingers for her.
