Whats New?

Well, Its been a while since my last post, however there have been many changes. First, I have a barn now!!!! Its 16x12, red, and really awesome. Also i have two new goats!! On the left is Penelope and on the right is Peaches. Both are a little over 2 months old. Something interesting that i found out is that Peaches is from the same mother as Lily and Daisy, wich is why Lily and Peaches are practicaly twins!
Also in a few weeks (hopefully!) i will be getting my Chickens and Ducks!
In the picture below you can tell Lily isn't really sure what to think about her new sisters. For the first day or two Lily and Daisy were absolute bullys twords the little girls, Daisy would full on charge them! it was horrible! but they have since worked things out, and boy am i glad considering Lily (the biggest) who weighs around 65 ish pounds, and has 4.5 inch long horns could do some real damage to the poor little girls who are only 12 ish pounds and a foot tall!

Also, i have been getting ready for the fair! so much to do and so little time. The rabbit i used for showmanship last year lost ALL the fur on his stomach and legs over the last five or so months! so i spent alot of time "training" a new rabbit and turns out i would have been able (most likely) to use him because i found out rubbing mashed up banana on your scalp help hair grow back....so i though about this for a while and figured "hey, its just banana, its worth a try", and turns out it works amazingly to regrow a rabbits fur too! So, my best rabbit is looking pretty good again and is healthy all thanks to a simple banana.
Below is Jimmy, the rabbit i spent alot of time training. I am going to use him for showmanship this year so Oliver (the one who lost the fur) has time to fully heal and what not.
