New Beginnings

It has been some time since I have added anything to this blog. Much has been happening at Maple Glen this year. Starting out 2009 was not so great, but there are always good things and bad things that go on. Hopefully there are many more good things then bad for everyone. Jan. /09 saw a few losses due to bad feed, which many experienced last year from the Purina problems.

On the show table, we are pleased to write that Maple Glens Rogue has done very well for herself. Acquiring 6 legs in total, therefore acheiving her G.C. and winning RIS at the Dorchester, Forest City Rabbit Club show on May 30. 2009. Several of our Satin Angora rabbits have all won legs.

Maple Glen attended the Angora Nationals in New York on May 9, our little junior rew buck, Nitro won BOS for Satin Angoras, and a red tort senior doe earned 2nd in the coloured senior doe class.

I even entered some of our wool and skeins in the wool and garment contest for the first time ever. What a surprise!! A skein of 2 ply french angora wool won first place, and a skein of 2ply satin angora won 3rd, An entry of coloured plucked satin angora wool won 3rd place. What an exciting day.

In the rabbitry, Satin Angoras Somerhill Cairo and Maple Glens Blazer have had a litter of 6 red kits, 3 buck and 3 does. Born May 3, 2009.
French Angoras: Bonnies BG2 (a sable pearl doe) and Farfelu's Cadbury (a chocolate buck) had a litter of 5. Amazingly enough they had 3 BLACK, yes black and 2 BLUE, yes blue, go figure that one out. (3does and 2 bucks) born May 25, 2009.

Next post, I will let you know which shows we will be attending in the fall. Bye for now
