Cali Misses Allen

Cali says, "Where is Allen?"

Cali says, "I miss my Allen!"

Cali says, "Who are you? You are not Allen, I want my Allen!"

Cali is Allen's constant companion. She follows Allen around at home, goes to rabbit shows and goes on trips.

This time she could not go with Allen who is so far away in Africa. Cali misses Allen.

Randy takes Cali to shows, but Cali still misses Allen. She looks a little lost, and a little sad. Cali says, "Allen, come home soon."

Jim and Marianna Visit Betty

Betty says:

"I taught at San Jose State University for 26 years plus few years at other universities. Jim was the chairman at my department for 24 years. Jim was efficient, hardworking, a top scholar/writer in economics and an excellent manager. I have wonderful memories of these 24 years.

Our families became close friends. Jim’s wife Marianna was a principal of a Catholic school; son Jim Jr. whom I've known since he was nine years old, now a successful executive at a pharmaceutical company. Marianna had an English Angora as her classroom pet in the 80s and Jim Jr. took care of it during the holidays and breaks. Eventually Jim Jr. became so interested in the rabbit that he would have one as his pet.

Now we are all retired, we still keep in touch and enjoy our quality time.

Jim and Marianna came to visit me recently. Here are some photos to share with my friends."

Pete and Lori maintain a friendship with Betty though they are no longer into rabbits. They would drop by to visit from time to time. A few days ago, the whole family came to visit.

A good time enjoyed by all.

Lindsay's Christmas Bunnies and Poem

‘Twas Christmas night
And all through my home
The cats were all snoozing
The dog had a bone

When all at once
I had a premonition
And hurried to check
On my bred doe’s condition

Then what did I see
All snug in the hay
But eight tiny French Angoras
And I whispered “hooray!”

Alongside the nest box
My tired doe sat
With a look on her face
That said “Did I do all that?”

With everyone settled
To bed I did go
To dream of the kits
And their very first show.
