English Angora in Recent Shows

A few weeks ago in Stockton, CRCS held two all breed shows and NCAG put on a specialty show.

Betty showed three colored senior bucks. The judges commented that they were so close that it's hard to choose. It must be the case, because each buck won a Best Opposite Sex.

At the top, Avalanche is posing nicely on her grooming stand. Avalanche is in her second coat; it is usually harder to keep a second coat prime than a first coat. Holly is doing a wonderful job.

In the second photo, judges Ruby at the left and Joe at the right posed with Avalanche. We are all very familiar with Joe who is our ARBA district director representing CA and the rest of dist. 2.

Three Generations of Rabbit Lovers

In a recent show at Stockton, our beloved show secretary Rita brought her daughter and grandson with her. This is the baby's first rabbit show. With grandma's top quality Satin and Silver Marten, baby is set for having good foundation stock to start his rabbit habit soon.

Just received great news: Rita's Satin broken blue junior buck won the BOB and Best In Show at the Satin National at Monterey two days ago. A huge win, congratulations!!!

A Day of Hiking

Betty reports a day of hiking:

"El Toro peak is the highest point in the City of Morgan Hill; the city uses the likeness of this peak as the official logo. The Historical Society of Morgan Hill sponsors a hike to the peak of El Toro once a year; this year the hiking day was on Saturday, April 21. After living in Morgan Hill for almost 30 years, hubby and I finally decided to take the hike.

The first photo shows me and the other hikers gathering in front of the city library.

In the second photo, I am pointing to the steep path that we are about to take.

The Boy Scout members were very kind to dig some make-shift steps and set up a rope on the side of the steepest part of the trail for the hikers. I followed a guy with a dog shown in the third photo. The poor dog could not use the rope; he was sliding and slipping his way uphill.

In the fourth photo, it shows that we are holding on to the rope to prevent us from sliding down the steep slope.

We finally made it to the top; the fifth photo shows the birdseye view of the City of Morgan Hill.

Getting down was as hard as climbing up; my poor butt hit the ground twice. The last photo shows the peak that we have just visited.

My body is crying out loud against the hiking and climbing. Rabbit shows are more of my cup of tea. Next Saturday, I will be in the rabbit shows rather than at the top of any mountain."
