Score!

Whenever something unexpected but desirable occurs Andrew and I shout-"SCORE".  When I left this morning to go to the Ohio state rabbit convention to attend the UARC Angora Specialty Show I was annoyed that I had been fussing with and pruning my rabbits coats since November and they all shed in February and March leaving me with limited show prospects.  LH Blackberry, who was in prime coat at New Year's eve, had shed and grown her coat back since but its length and density was not where I wanted it to be.  I blew her coat out and took her anyway (my one entry) - happy that I would be getting together with my rabbit friends and not worrying about a win.  I had a great time visiting and the specialty show was well organized and a lot of fun.  And guess what? Blackberry won Best of Breed in Satin Angoras after all and I got the awesome apron that I am wearing in the photo below! Click here to see show photos.
