Samsara Cavies on the road again.

Can you say busy? My life reached the point of beyond hectic a few days ago and hasn't slowed down yet. The interest in the Compendium has been well beyond expectations and I find myself rushing to fill orders while I try to complete university assessments and get my traveling menagerie prepared for another trip. It is all good, just very busy.

So the news of the hour is that I have arranged to buy another stud boar. Yep another one... I'm a wee bit hopeless. This boy is everything I could ever want though. He's a tri colour coronet (no agouti whooo!) who carries texel and may possibly carry satin. This means that when bred to a texel sow he can give me shelties, coronets, merinos and texels. Plus that gives me two potential satin carriers in the stud. Which leaves me with the teensiest of chances of producing satin longs, which is better than no chance at all. Of himself he comes from an absolutely amazing stud and has won a Reserve in Show, his offspring also seem to do quite well at shows. I'm quite excited. A friend is collecting him from the National for me.

In other news Ayanna feels to be at the six week mark so Sterling has performed his duty admirably once again and I'm now just impatiently waiting to feel movement so I can more accurately guesstimate her due date.

Feather and Tommi continue to gain weight and both seem like they are passed the worst of it.

Oh and there are two other girls who will be joining the Samsara menagerie. I uh fell in love with a gorgeous crested sable and I just couldn't resist her. I'm going to show her on the weekend and probably bring her and her cagemate home with me.


As to the weekend it's the August winter show and AGM for the NSWCC and I have entered Laertes in his dally class, Manny in his sheltie class and Ebbie as my requisite pet. I'm taking down a whole tonne of CD's of the Compendium and some hard copies as well and we'll see how they sell. I've had no NSWCC members contact me about the Compendium which either means they aren't interested or I'll be besieged at the show. I don't really mind either way. The orders I've had will cover my petrol for several more shows which is more then I could ask for as is.
