New shipment of fuzzies!

Last night was a dream in the making. I have so many good friends that raise Fuzzy Lops in different parts of the country, and we always admire each others stock, talk over e-mail or the phone, and send pictures back and forth. My good friend Lauren (of Kismet Rabbitry) had some super nice ones for sale and I couldn't miss out this time. I took the intiative, and with the help of so many other people we made the shipment from all the thousands of miles away in Michigan to California! We had two six hole carriers stacked on top of each other and had it shipped that way instead of the common form of sticking carriers in a dog crate. Robyn Fry (of Fry's Fuzzy Farm) made the tremendous effort to drive all the way to Chicago, IL to ship them off from that airport. She is an angel! (Robyn, we promise to send you a great batch of fuzzies or woolies sometime soon!)

I was so nervous, anxious, excited, and basically freaking out last night. I just wanted to see those wiggling noses and fluffy wool! My friend Susie (of Wooly World Rabbitry) went in on the shipment with me. It was such a last minute endeavor. We decided to do this, picked out who we wanted, and shipped them out within a week! We were expecting 11 fuzzy lops. I went to the airport (luckily it's only 10 minutes away from where I live) at 9:30pm. The plane was supposed to be in at 10:00pm and the rabbits were to be at cargo by 10:30pm. I had barely talked to the man at the counter and we already had a problem. Apparently cargo closes at 10:30pm and he said I had better hope they get in by 10:30pm or I would have a hard time getting them that night. I talked to a young kid at the counter to keep myself busy and occupied so I wouldn't get too anxious. Luckily, right at 10:15pm they arrived! All the workers in the whole unit went outside and oooed and awed over the bunnies. They've seen rabbits shipped before, but took it upon themselves to ask me a host of questions about why I show them, how many do I have at home, and do I realize there's that many in the shipment. LOL!

I packed the group in the car and off we went back home! Everyone was given water and hay, which they took to easily. Tonight Susie and I will get together and separate our own rabbits from the group, and decide on a couple of decisions on some does.

Stay tuned for photos to come soon!
