These girls keep me busy! But I wouldn’t trade this life for anything in the world. I am one proud mama.">

This past weekend we attended Lionhead Nationals in Dalton, Georgia where Peyton didn’t win nearly as much as she usually does. Her rabbits were up against some of the most beautiful rabbits we’ve ever seen. We felt a little out of our element to be honest. We are quiet, introverted, and like the calm. We are never the life of the party, and we are ok with that. But I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world. We learned so much about what we do and don’t need to do… and Peyton came home with excitement about where she wants her breeding program to go from here.
.
We did walk away with a first place in the senior tort class in one show, and a best of variety and best opposite sex variety in the seal variety for the Nationals show. And she tied with a win with another youth exhibitor in the variety ID youth competition. I was so proud of her for signing up for the youth competition because she has never done that before. She is so quiet and shy around people so she usually doesn’t sign up for anything that might require her to walk around and talk to people.
.
Peyton has a little over three years left that she will be able to show as a youth exhibitor. Both of us are excited to see where the next three years will lead us.">

I’m also thankful for some of the best friends I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I get to do this show mom thing with @sassyflufffarm and her kiddos!">

At first I started deleting comments but then decided to leave them. It is comical to me to see how people react to something they don’t agree with. I guess there are some people out there who think rabbits deserve a posh life and breakfast in bed? 🤷🏻♀️
.
What’s funny is that those people know NOTHING about true rabbitries. If they did they would know that these rabbits get pampered on the daily. They would see what being involved in this industry does to boost confidence in our kids. They would understand that rabbits are bred for bettering the breed and improving genetics.
.
I will never be ashamed of what we do. Our rabbits are very well taken care of, and watching my daughter thrive is reason enough for me. For every group of haters out there, there is another group of people who are more educated and more dedicated to their rabbits than probably ANY rescuer out there. We have access to fresher, healthier foods for our rabbits because they are specifically formulated to improve digestive health and appearance. Hay is not always necessary. I’ll say it again. Hay is NOT always necessary… that is IF you are feeding a complete timothy based feed that your rabbits are thriving on.
.
Normally we offer hay cubes. For wooly breed rabbits this can often be a better solution than loose hay because loose hay becomes matted in their wool. If their poop begins to look “off” and I notice that the cubes aren’t being eaten, I offer loose hay several times a week. And for those of you saying “hay is 80% of their necessary diet”… read the ingredients on a quality brand of rabbit food. Oh but it’s the roughage that they need? We offer oats and shredded wheat as well.
.
As for the cages? Well… get over it is all I can say about that. Our rabbits are healthy, happy, and spoiled.">
-
.
But sometimes it’s necessary. If you want to talk rabbit poop we can, but if you know you know. So today this is my current situation. Hay all over my gorgeous new barn floor, and what I’m sure will be a long grooming day tomorrow.
.
Next show will be the Cherry Pie Extravaganza in West Monroe, La. In two weeks. It’s a quad plus a specialty. FIVE LEGS up for grabs. Let’s hope all this hay doesn’t become a matted mess.">

.
The old barn was covered in wood or wood paneling and the rabbit pee was soaking into the wood. It was a stinky dirty mess. Now everything is covered in non absorbent material that can be cleaned with a spin mop!
.
I had so much help! It took me, my husband, my father, and my son! And of course my best friend came over to help me move back in and organize my space! Thanks @sassyflufffarm">

.
She also got to bring one of her best friends and they all spent the day getting beautiful and going to dinner before the ball! HUGE thanks to Traci Russell for making their night perfect while I was tied up working! I’m so glad our girls are friends! We really do have some gorgeous girls… inside and out!">

.
Our lionhead program is finally producing a lot of winning rabbits and grand champions! We have put a lot of work into them whereas our fuzzy lops were just getting started. We learned rather quickly that having two wooly breeds was going to be more than we could keep up with. We will miss their sweet snuggly personalities, but sometimes you just have to learn to say when. You know?
.
Wish us luck in our upcoming shows! Peyton will be entering her Lionheads in the Lionhead Nationals show coming up in March. This will be our first Nationals, and we are excited!">

Yesterday morning I picked up Peyton from a sleepover at 8:30 in the morning and we headed out. We stopped in Chandler Tx to pick up Sidney and Stormi because I needed to make this trip without staying overnight due to threat of severe winter weather. Thankfully Sidney helped me drive. We arrived at Rolling Meadows around 6:30 pm and it was love at first site.
This morning I heard from Beth at Rolling Meadows informing me that the weather indeed came. They have frigid temps, lots of snow, and wind gusts that were dangerous. Praise the Lord for His protection. We got in and got out before getting stuck in all that.
Peyton and I decided to spend the night at Sidney’s house last night because we didn’t arrive back to her house until 1:30 am. This morning when we left to finish our trip home to Louisiana the wind gusts and temps had already arrived. It was a rough final leg of our trip, but we made it and Luna is making herself right at home. I wasn’t sure what Phoenix would think but she immediately started prancing and playing with the puppy. It was so cute.
Peyton is in love with her new puppy. I can see the look on her face sometimes like she feels guilty for loving another dog so easily after losing Tucker. But seriously… there is no way to meet this dog and not instantly fall in love.
It is a very Merry Christmas indeed!">

I personally hate the typical@wooden or metal nesting boxes. I prefer something breathable that can be sanitized and won’t rust.">
