A Bird Bath

John and I bought our backyard bird friends a little gift.  We love to bird watch at our feeders so we thought it was only appropriate to offer them a place to bathe.  Or let the dogs get a drink of water:)

It has a nifty little water circulator in the center that is powered by 2 D cell batteries so no electrical cords to mess with.  No takers just yet, but I'll keep you posted.

I'm movin' on...

Yesterday was the Ohio State Rabbit Breeders show in Columbus.  This was also the show I was meeting someone who was going to take the black bun back to California.  Lucky for us the timing worked out great and he hitched a ride with some fuzzy lops to go live with his new mom in San Francisco.  Here I am getting all my squeezes in before his departure.

And here he is after a smooth flight.  Amazing how well animals travel.

As for the actual show, I wasn't thrilled.  It seems they forget about the angora exhibitors and it takes a little prodding from us to get the ball rolling.  You kind of feel like a second class citizen.  Unfortunately I didn't even get to go check out the alpaca show going on at the same location as I didn't want to miss the call for showing.  However, John did and he took this awesome picture of a Suri alpaca.  He's so regal!

And a couple more parting shots of the super cute bun:>)

Football

It can seem like an unendingly long time for football fans from the end of one season until the beginning of the next.  This week was especially good for John and I as the NFL draft came and went and then there was the OSU spring football game today in Columbus.  I have not been to an OSU football game since the late '80's and John has never been to one, although he knows more about the buckeyes than me.  We were both thrilled to be in the stands taking it all in.  The weather was great with very little rain and mostly overcast skies despite the possibilities of thunderstorms.  We love our buckeyes!!

She blooms

I just love this time of spring for all the flowering trees.  Remember last year's birthday gift that John got me in the form of a crab apple tree?  Well, she is even more lovely with age.  She is in full bloom.  I wish I could say my azalea bush was doing as well but those are so hard to grow.

Kentucky State Rabbit Breeders Association show

Yesterday John and I took a road trip down to Louisville, KY for the Kentucky SRBA double show.  Our efforts were worth it as Mandie took Best of Breed in show A and Bunzilla took Best Oppostie Sex of breed in show A and B.  Bunzilla now has enough legs to be a grand champion.  I was beginning to get worried as there never seems to be enough bucks entered for a leg but this show did not disappoint with 31 English Angoras entered. 

The first photo is of judge Glenn Carr going over Mandie and Bunzilla.

Unfortunately, the drive home got a little slow in parts!  LOL

Happy Easter

The buns and I are hoping everyone has a wonderful Easter.  We plan to eat well and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather.

New office worker

As is customary, we try to make good use of the new buns in the office.  Here, the black bun is acquainting himself with the reservation pads.

Pen, check.  Cell phone, check.  Grooming appointment book, check.

Notice the snarky customer in the top of the picture.

  This job is not without it's perils.

His sister skipped orientation.  She eats too much and needed to sleep it off.
