Allen Makes a Birth Annoucement

Look at that full tummy!

Allen says,

"California rabbit shows' favorite dog is now a mom!

Cali Shumaker-Mesick had 3 fat, healthy babies on February 23 beginning at 12:10 a.m. Randy was on his way home from the airport in L.A. that evening/morning. I had gone to bed in attempts to get sleep before the Turlock/Del Mar show weekend, but woke up every hour to check on Cali. She was due on the 23rd, and we feared she would have them while we were judging in Turlock. But, Cali had them just a few hours before we had to pack up and leave for the show. Needless to say, I did not sleep for more than an hour. But, I was very thankful that Cali had her puppies safely and with me by her side. She had two boys and one girl.

Brooke Baldwin's brother has already asked for one of the boys, and we are pretty sure Muriel and Tom Keyes will become proud parents of the other boy.

As for the girl... she's destined for rabbit shows, Colored Angora Goats, sassy calico barn cats, endless miles on the rabbit show road, and beautiful Black Mountain in Tollhouse!"
