Brother Sister Act

Remember me?

That little goofball was me six weeks ago.  See what six weeks can do?  I'm so handsome now.   I've been brightening so many people's day that Carolyn help my mama Betty to name me "Chu's Brighton".







This is my sister, mama Betty named her "Chu's Angelyn", after our mom Chu's Angelique.






My sister is kind of shy, she tries to hide behind me.



Come on, Angelyn, show your pretty face and wool.



Sis is still trying to hide her pretty face but look at her, isn't she a little beauty?  Don't be afraid, big brother is going to protect you.

Rachel's Giant Angora Wins Best In Show at Wisconsin State Fair

 

 

 

Youth is our future, and our youth are doing great with Angora showing.  Rachel in Wisconsin sent in the great news:

"Over the past few months, my French Angoras and Giant Angoras have done well on the show tables, winning numerous Best in Shows and Reserve in Shows. However, I recently had a very special Best in Show win! At the Wisconsin State Fair last week, my Giant Angora Junior Buck named Champ won Best in Show! This was a very big and exciting win for me at this show!"

Look at this trophy, it's more than 1/2 of Rachel's height!

Congratulations Rachel, keep up with the good work.
