I know it's been a while since I've posted.
My step father, Hartley Gurney, died on April 5, from complications from the kidney transplant. The complications turned out to be an antibiotic resistance bacterial infection that he was exposed to in hte hospital shortly after the transplant. More people died each year from these infections, which are almost always picked up in hospitals, than from auto accidents, AIDS, and breast cancer combined. And yet there is almost nothing being done about it. After everything that he had been through, his death was a hard blow.
We cancelled our trip to the west coast to visit my brother in July because my mother wasn't doing very well. But we did go to Maine last week to visit my in-laws. Pictures here if you're interested.
And Now: CAVIES
Some big changes. I am no longer breeding texels. I have one junior sow left. She was too cute to sell, white and chocolate with a chocolate nose. Here she is
She's a sweetheart, and I will sell her if someone wants her enough.
My broken teddies just aren't breeding. I had one beautiful litter of three sows, including a Lilac, REO and white with beautiful type. I have one stunning broken boar, but he just isn't getting the job done. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
On the other hand, I am getting some really beautiful creams. Lots and lots of cream teddies, both sows and boars. And I need to start making some decisions. Let me know if you're interested in a cream teddy cuz I got 'em.
And now for my abbies:
I have a Salmon Agouti junior sow:
And a golden agouti roan sow:

And, born last week, a lemon agouti sow:

She doesn't look like much right now, but she seems to have all the rosettes and ridges in the right places.
These girls are NOT for sale. I'll try to post a list of what I do have for sale in the next week or so.
