Goodbye sweet boy :(


Its a sad day in the rabbitry today, I had to put Lars down  :(
Lars was an older boy, 6 years old....he was the sweetest bunny I have ever owned.  He loved to give kisses & get his head rubbed. ♥
Somehow he managed to hurt his back, and started dragging his backend.  After a few days of seeing him not get better, only getting worse...I knew I didnt want to see him suffer any longer so I decided putting him down would be the best thing to do.  This was the hardest one I've ever had to do, I'm usually pretty strong when it comes to stuff like this but Lars made my eyes well up with tears....I held him for a little bit, gave him some love & whispered in his ear how sorry I was & that I loved him.  I really loved that bunny, he is going to be greatly missed.
RIP Lars

Mountain State Fair

This past Saturday, we attended the bunny show at the Mountain State Fair.  It's been a while since we've been to a show so it was great getting back into the swing of things again....even though I felt a little out of the loop  :P

First, I want to say HUGE congrats to Christopher Lile~from Lile's Lops in Canton NC....he won BOB with Hamilton's Ziggy aka Humprey and BOS with Hamilton's Minnie in the Youth show.  He also did really well his Broken Senior Buck, Smith's Willie & 2 of his homebred junior does, Lile's Isabella & Lile's Candace....that is so awesome Christopher....CONGRATS!!!  :)

Our show results, Brendan won BOB with Yogi and BOS with Audi.  Aubrey showed Sunshine, her little REW doe at the fair.  This was Aubrey's first bunny show, I think she had fun even though Sunshine was the only REW! lol  Anyhow, she came home with two 1st place ribbons which made her smile  :) 

Here are some pics from the show....enjoy  :)
