The babies are 8 weeks old now and starting to go to their new homes. Which meant I had to make my final choice yesterday.  I got the choice down right away to these 4 because I need to keep a doe and these are the girls.  After that, it wasn't all that easy as three of them had equally good shoulders, butts, length and wool qualities.  So next I looked at the foof factor.  I'm a sucker for lots of face foof.  That eliminated one.  Eventually, I went with my preliminary choice. And here she is: Woolybuns Winnie the Poof.

The reason I had to make my final choice yesterday is cause somebody else is now a new mom.  People often ask me how I can stand to part with any of the babies.  Well.  I think this picture explains it perfectly.  I not only get the fun of the babies while they are here, but I get to enjoy the excitement new mommyhood brings. 

I also finally decided on a name for one of the French angoras I brought home from North Carolina.  Since she's French, I decided she needed a French accent to her name.  Introducing Avillion's Bun Vivant.

Good thing I had so much bun fun yesterday.  The rest of the day was spent dealing with this.   Head gasket gave up the ghost.  As he poured fluid in, fluid flowed right back out the bottom.  It's a 1994 with over 220,000 miles and assorted other issues threatening to flare up.  Not worth a $1500 repair.  The boy kid young man needs another car.  As a college student not currently working, he of course has no money for such a need.  I guess I'm buying a car sometime soon.  In between driving him to and from his classes.

The babies are sure growing up fast!

Yuck about the car - ain't nothing worse than being forced to make the decision between a new car and very expensive repairs. Sorry!

The names are as good as always. I'll know you have lost it when the names lose it.

220K doesn't owe you much except a quieter goodbye. Good luck with the hunt.

Oh what cute babies to have! Winnie the Poof -- that is too much. I don't think I would ever be able to give them up -- even though Stitches went home to a good mother and now has a feline friend.

As for car issues, they too have been rampant here. Mr. Man just got his car out of the garage yesterday and this morning it turned around and acted up again. So back it goes.

Thanks again for helping us talk ourselves into being bunny parents! We couldn't be happier. :)
