Boo Visits California

Last time we saw Boo, he and mama Tomalene and sissy Vanessa were in Myrtle Point, Oregon in March. They came to Monterey for the Mini Lop National in April.

Boo is not too thrilled to be in the rabbit shows for two days plus the long 10+ hour drive.

Betty says, "May I hold Boo?"

Betty and Boo are practicing ballroom dancing; two heads have to be as far apart as possible!

Boo is happier to be in mama's arms.

Don't Get Our Secretary Mad!

With three all breed shows, two national breed shows and over ten specialty shows going on in Monterey, our able secretary Rita is buried in paper work.

Rita says, "Who judged this breed? It's not marked; I am all confused!"

Dr. Steve R. says, "It's me, don't get mad!" Both are happy after the clarification.

Dolores And Granddaughter Colby

Proud Grandma and Colby in 2009.

It's hard for grown-ups to realize how fast time flies.

In September 2007, Dolores brought granddaughter Colby to the BVRA show, see http://ncag.blogspot.com/search?q=colby This past weekend we saw Colby growing into a little elegant princess.

Where did time go?
