Christmas Recovery

The "King of All's" babies

They grow up so fast.

Wiggly new Christmas babies.

So shiny and soft.

Little pinkies and one black.

Well, there is nothing like a batch of Christmas babies to help me get over my upper respitory infection, bronchitis and hives. Very run down after being so busy and working so much, my body finally said enough. The three litters of babies were what got me out of bed each day. I had to check and see if they were being fed and had not gotten tangled up in wool. After so many years raising angoras, I almost can predict what colors will be born. This time two of the moms sure fooled me.

I bred rew G.C. Pearly Mae to tort G.C. BIS Wyatt thinking that I would get many whites as Pearly has so much white in her background. Not one white! ( Black, chocolate tort and blue tort) Then I bred tort G.C. Pandimonium to rew G.C. BIS Sullivan thinking that I would get lots of black as he had thrown black before and she has a black mom and black brothers. She ends up with five whites and one blue tort! The last litter was to a black buck, Wander and a rew G.C. BIS and they did have black and tort. She seemed a little worse for the wear after her litter and I fostered them over to Pandimonium.

I am truly enjoying the jersey wooly litter and they are growning up so fast. They are much more high strung then the angora babies and try to launch themselves out of you hand after they are picked up. They are really tiny and slippery so I have to really watch them and get a good grip or they might end up in outer space. They look so calm in the photo but looks can fool you. They will have to have lessons on how to behave on the show table, just like their dad.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year. I personally slept right through it.
