Extra Large Judging Coops at the ARBA Convention at Reno

The new judging coops for Angoras. 

The holes are extra large.  Instead of 4 holes in one set, there are 3 holes. 

These are donated by NARBC to be used in conventions going forward.  

 

Robby Makes Debut

Hi, I’m a boy. 

My name is Robby. 

I am a junior, I am a baby boy. 

Mama Betty is taking me to the convention.  What is a convention ? 

Raecelia Fun Day in the Wind

It's a windy day, mom.

Raecelia's wool is flying in the wind.

Isn't this fun?

It's fun to be outside but Raecelia needs to keep her coat pristine to attend the ARBA convention coming up.

 

Himalayan? Stephany's Fun Day

At a show, there's this long crocheted stuffed animal.

This is the front end of the long stuffed animal, it's supposed to be a Himalayan rabbit!
It's a gift from a friend to Stephany Brundage.

Stephany had a fun day.   Charle came to visit and had a photo op.  Charlie and Stephany used to live in the same little town called Willitis but Stephany has now moved to a neighboring town.   When they met, Charlie was still showing English Angora and Stephany was a little girl.  Now Charlie has retired from showing and Stepany is a judge.  Time flies.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei Role-Playing Funnies

I'm not into AI but some on-line sites offer the chance to put in pet photos to have fun.  It's hard to resist, here are my white cats Bao Bao and Bei Bei playing different roles.   Just for fun.

Royal Cats.

Cowboy Cats.

Rockstar Cats.

Christmas Cats.

Pirate Cats.

Shining Knight Cats.

Wizard Cats.

Professor Cats.

Space Cats.

 

Cousin Alfie Makes the Cut

Cousins Alfie and Riley were born two days apart.  This is Alfie when he was a baby buck.

Alfie at 4 months old.

Alfie and Riley grew up together and competed in the same class neck to neck.

Alfie at 5 months old.

Alfie and Riley alternate their placings, each won some and lost some.

Alfie is now 8 months old and developing very nicely.

Alfie won over his cousin Riley to making the cut to go to the ARBA convention this coming week.

 

Riley Gets Cut

Riley as an older Junior Buck. 

Riley as a young senior buck. 

Who is that?

It’s Riley without his glorious wool.   He did not make the cut to go to the ARBA convention, losing out to his cousin Alfie.  Riley get a cut of his wool instead.    Either way, it’s a “cut”.
