Rich Briones from Phillippines

While waiting for show C to start, judge Melissa Magee introduces Rich Briones to us.
From left to right are: Carol, Betty, Rich, Casey and Melissa.    Melissa introduces Rich:

"Rich Briones is a vet student and secretary of PLCI the rabbit club I worked for in the Philippines . We actually met in Malaysia first, so we have been in 3 countries together. 

Rich took her rabbit and cavy registrar tests at convention at passed both. She’s worked the necessary shows for the rabbit license traveling to Ohio for 2 shows and then meeting me in Texas for the shows there. She stayed with me before King City and worked the cavy show there with me. Rich plans to return next year to finish her cavy license.

Rich has started to feel like a family member so Ed and I call her our second daughter." 

  

It's so wonderful to see such dedicated rabbit and cavy people from overseas.  Being an Asian myself, I am thrilled see our hobby expanded to countries all over Asia.  It'll be wonderful if Rich gets her license and comes to the US and judge, I'd love to see that happen.
