I spent last night rearranging hosing in the garage for one rabbit. I am very fond of sly and the big hunky guy likes to see other rabbits. Sly gets so sad when he can’t see any other rabbits that he won’t eat or drink! Annabelle is due to have her litter next week Thursday. The temperatures in upstate New York have been quite cold so I want to be able to heat Annabelle’s house for when…
We raise Giant Chinchillas here at Cacia Farms. Living in upstate Ny we can have brutal winters with large amounts of snow and wind. We move all our rabbits into the garage for winter to protect them from the harsh winters. This also enables us to continue to breeding throughout the winter.

I decided yesterday I would take the day off, well that lasted about 1 hour. People who own border collies do not get days off. He made a record 40 minutes after Jeff left for work before he began to struggle in the bed with me. We call it struggling with Gus because he doesn’t really snuggle.

We so far have learned that pete cannot in fact be contained without solid walls and roof. We learned that if you do not secure the gate the runs that the rabbits will run free. Most importantly which I cannot…

I looked out the window only to see my wonderful border with his head under the fence. As I was opening the door to call him back to me the whole border collie…
Have you ever heard the saying “when the cats away the mice will play”? Well, my wonderful husband is off to hunting camp this weekend. Jeff leaves tonight and will return on Sunday evening (in theory with venison for the freezer). Well, any perfect housewife would use this time to deep clean the house, maybe wash all the linens, and clean the refrigerator. Let’s all be honest here, I’m a wonderful wife…I just seem to lack the perfect housewife gene. …
