Boy, how time flies... it has been almost a month since my last blog. As you know, A LOT has happened since then, and I have come to the heartbreaking decision to sell all of my precious little bunnies. I have sold several rabbits so far and I'm now down to about 40 bunnies which is nearly half of what I used to have! I have lots of nice brood/show quality still for sale though, so please don't hesitate to email me. I will give discounts on multiple purchases, and transportation can be arranged to the Indy Convention for a $25 per rabbit fee. Thank you all for your support! May God bless you!

New Website Template
So I thought I'd give the website a new look. It wasn't intentional until I started playing around with Weebly. It took me a little over 3 hours to complete it the way I wanted it lol Enjoy!
In my opinion, Weebly is so much better than Webs. For whatever reason, Webs stopped letting me upload pictures. I tried and tried to fix it, but nothing. So I made the switch to Weebly. When you compare, they're about the same, but because of the Webs incident, I now like Weebly better. :)
Anyways, I just thought I'd post a short blog before August slipped away from me...

Mixed Emotions
I'm having mixed emotions about selling my rabbits. Over the past few months, moving is a frequent topic for my family. So it's hard to tell if they're "just talking" or not. I think I've mentioned this before, but when we move, I'll have to sell my rabbits... I have no choice. I hate thinking about it, but I know the day will come sooner or later. Which is why I'm trying to downsize to prepare for the worst. If I can keep my numbers down, it will help me if I have to sell them in the end. Selling all of my rabbits seems so unimaginable, but I will have to sell them when we move. With that being said, I won't be buying the awesome buck and doe I talked about a few posts ago. It breaks my heart because I wanted them SO bad! But, like I said, I need to down to keep my numbers down to prepare for the worst, because I'm sure the time will be coming soon...
Until next time, keep cool.
Until next time, keep cool.

Additions to the For Sale page
I've been blogging a lot to make up for June... haha!
I have added several more rabbits to the For Sale page. Check 'em out! A few orange and sable point does were added as well. You know me - that never happens! I usually keep most of my does and if they are a color that I'm working with, they fall into the "why not keep them" category. :) But not this time. I'm trying to move on and cull some of the juniors and seniors to replace them with their better kits or siblings (if that makes any sense!).
I'm really looking forward to breeding again this fall. I have several does that are at breeding age and I'm really anxious to see what they produce. I'm especially excited to see what Tiki produces for me. When I first got Tiki, I was fortunate enough to breed him (just once) before it got too hot. Hopefully, if I get lucky I can start breeding again at the end of August.... keeping my fingers crossed!
Well, I guess that's everything for now. I just wanted to make a quick update to notify everyone about the new additions to the For Sale page. ;)

Rambling Thoughts...
What to do, what to do. I have had bad cases of the 'wants' lately and I can't seem to get rid of them. So, I'm going to blog about it since people always say it's best to write down your thoughts.
I really, really want this amazing buck. The seller also has his daughter for sale. So you probably think, "Go for it, what's the problem?" The problem is that they are very expensive, about 6 1/2 hours away, and I'm pushing the limit with cages. That's something to worry about. Both the buck and the doe are varieties that I don't work with, but I could squeeze them in with my brokens which is what I plan to do. I'm thinking very seriously about the both of them and also considering a shaded buck that she has available.
If I wanted to purchase the trio, that obviously means that I would have to make room for them. I counted all of the rabbits that I sold in the past 2-3 weeks, and I sold a total of 16 rabbits. Thank you to everyone who purchased a bunny from me! You have helped me out tremendously! But with all the juniors I have, sadly, the extra cages are already gone... So if you are interested in any of my rabbits (even ones that aren't on the For Sale) please don't hesitate to ask, because I will consider all offers and give discounts on multiple purchases. :)
Speaking of available rabbits, I posted Heartfelt Cameron on the For Sale page yesterday. I don't really want to sell this doe, but I figured I should since I'm trying to focus on solid oranges rather than broken oranges. Cameron is a very nice little doe. She has a good head and tiny ears. Her body has a nice shape to it but she has a low shoulder. Cameron is a proven brood doe and usually has 2-3 kits in each litter. If you are interested in her, please contact me for more information.
Keep cool until the next blog!

Hot vs. Cold
Wow! Is it ever hot outside! Since it's so hot, I've decided to have a discussion about hot and cold weather.
Hot vs. Cold - What's your pick? Living in the south, I don't have a favorite, because it goes to the extreme. It's typically around 100 degrees daily in the summer and the hot, humid heat usually lasts from May thru September. On really hot summers, we'll start getting heat waves in April.
As for winter, we rednecks are used to the warm temperatures, so when the cold comes around, we're about to freeze to death! It's obviously not as cold in the south as compared to up north (I'm SO glad) but it still gets pretty chilly down here - believe it or not. This past winter, we had temperatures that never reached 32 degrees in the afternoon. (I remember this because we had frozen water bottles 24/7) Burrr!
To sum up today's topic, my favorite seasons are spring and fall - not too hot, not too cold. Here in South Carolina, our spring and falls are in the 60's and 70's (sometimes 80's) which is beautiful weather! :)
Anyway, stay cool until next time....

New Looks
I'm sure you have already noticed the blog if you are reading this. I hope you like it! I think it's pretty neat for a change. I was getting bored with the old design.... maybe this will motivate me to blog more often! lol
I've added a few senior brood does to the For Sale page, so check em' out! I also have several juniors still available waiting to go to good homes. ;)
Other than that, nothing much is going on right now. It's feels awesome outside though! It felt like fall! It's hard to believe that it is July and is was 69 degrees yesterday! We finally got a break out of all this hot, humid air. The past few days were so cool that I didn't even have to turn on the fans in the barn! It's amazing! Unfortunately, it's supposed to warm back up to the high nineties as the week goes on. At least we got to enjoy it while it last...
That's everything for now. Hope you had a nice, cool weekend!

Back in the Saddle Again
I figured the song 'Back in the Saddle Again' by Aerosmith was a good title for this blog since I haven't blogged in almost a whole month! I hope everyone is doing well and having a great 4th of July with their family. We're probably going to have our family over this afternoon for a cookout then watch some fireworks.
Anyway, nothing new is going on with the bunnies. I've been selling quite a few which is a good thing. Let me tell you why.... when I decided to have a herd reduction, I counted all of my rabbits (bucks, does, juniors, kits - you name it) and I came to a conclusion with a grand total of NINETY-FIVE (yes, 95) rabbits! Okay, it's time for a little downsize, don't you think? So I came to yet another conclusion to have a herd reduction.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased a precious bunny from me; you don't know how much it has helped me! May God bless you!
That's everything for now. Hopefully I'll have a few more blogs before August! Haha!
Happy 4th of July!

For Sale Updates
I've added some updates to the For Sale page. I figured I should since a list just didn't cut it for me. So, now there's a totally new layout than before.
What's new in the nestbox? A lot! For starters, all of Spike's babies are does. The kits out of Broken Dreams and Silver Sand are all does. I'm going to sell them all, though, since I just don't have room to keep them.
Caramel has a broken black buck, a blue doe, and a blue otter doe. Horray! I'm completely thrilled! I'm going to keep Chanelle (blue doe) and Jenelle (blue otter doe) since that's all I can keep. The broken black buck (un-named) will be available since I still have his sire, Tiki, and don't need him, too. This buck should turn out to be just like Tiki as he is very nice so far.
Anyway, check out the For Sale page and make offers. :)

SUMMER HERD REDUCTION
I've decided (well, my rabbits actually decided for me that they need their own cages) to have a "Summer Herd Reduction". I always say I need cage space and I'm getting tired of saying it. It sounds so nice to have the extra room if and when you need it. With that begin said, I have listed about 18 juniors and seniors on my For Sale page. Feel free to take a look! I only made a list, because it would have been a lot of work to include pictures and information on each rabbit. However, don't hesitate to ask for more detailed information about a specific rabbit (pictures, pedigree, reproductive ability, etc.) I have a lot available that I need to sell, so I'll consider all offers and give package deals on purchases of 2 or more rabbits. Thanks!

I Made It
I just realized this... titles should always be capitalized, right? Well, why not capitalize titles to blogs? They're still titles, right? I usually don't bother capitalizing them, but I'm going to start.
Now you're probably wondering about the title. I chose this title because today was the last day of school. I made it through another year!
Anyway, I have lots of litters so let's move on. These litters can also be seen on the Nestbox page.
Mikey x Dancer ~ 4 kits (5/7/11) - 2 REWs, 2 seals
Spike x Silver Sand ~ 4 kits (5/8/11) - 1 broken chestnut, 1 broken chinchilla, 1 opal, and 1 chestnut
Spike x Broken Dreams ~ 2 kits (5/13/11) - 1 broken chinchilla, 1 broken blue(?)
Tiki x Caramel ~ 3 kits (5/20/11) - 1 broken black, 2 blue otters
Tango x Mango ~ 5 kits (5/21/1) - 5 oranges
Tango x Cameron ~ 3 kits (5/21/11) - 3 oranges
Bondo (Black Tort) x Melody ~ 1 kit (5/25/11) - 1 tort(?)
Fireball x Sunsation ~ 5 kits (5/25/11) - 5 oranges
There's a mistake on my Nestbox page... In Broken Dream's litter, she has a broken chinchilla and the other may be a broken blue. However, on my website, it says a broken chestnut.
Other than that, nothing more has been going on. Until next time, God bless.

Columbia show
To be completely honest, I haven't thought about blogging lately. Things have been really busy around here and the week goes by too fast.
So how'd I do at Columbia? I think I might have gotten a leg in Show A with Tiki. He could have gotten Show B, but the judge noticed the little nip on his ear. :( I was pretty bummed because it had just happened. Overall, I didn't expect to win anything... I just wanted to get an opinion on my junior torts. I got a "looks promising" in Show A on Drake. The pictures on my website make them look better than what they look like now. Ha! It's okay though - they're at the ugly awkward stage so what can you do?
As far as recent litters, I'm waaaaay behind! I'm not going to take the time to write a paragraph about each litter; I'll just cut to the chase. ;)
Mikey x Dancer ~ 4 kits - Two are REW and 2 are either sable point martens or smoke pearl martens. The REWs will definitely be for sale. However, the other 2 kits will need to be evaluated.
Spike x Silver Sand ~ 4 kits - Wow. Just wow. Silver Sand actually had 6 kits in her first litter, but sadly 2 didn't make it. SS has 1 broken chesnut, 1 broken chinchilla, 1 chestnut, and 1 opal. I think I'm going to sell the whole litter though.
Spike x Broken Dreams ~ 2 kits - For some reason, I can't remember what BD has! I checked all of the babies last night and it was a looong day at the show. I can't believe I don't remember! One I think is a broken... well heck, both might be broken! I really don't know. It's bugging me now; I have to go check.
Tiki x Caramel ~ 3 kits - I'm pretty nervous... I just sold Caramel today and fostered her babies out. I should have made a better plan, because the litter I fostered to is Broken Dreams and her babies are about a week old. All I can do now is hope & pray. They should be a lovely bunch. Two of the kits look like blue otters (!) and the other one looks like a broken chestnut (maybe).
Mango also had a litter, but I feel awful that I didn't have time to check them because of the busy day at the show! Until then, God bless.
