Just swept the rat show

Our club is pretty small, but still this is a big deal for me. The last time I got to take so many rosettes home was the 2009 Spring show. Best part was that my favorite most gorgeous Buck took Best In Show, and his daughter took Best Youth, so the continuity there makes me so happy.

I didn’t will ALL the ribbons (obviously, lol) but taking both BIS/Best Opposite AND Best Youth really really chuffed me. Especially since the BIS and Best Doe are still young enough to breed. Being able to line up a GCH x CH litter really makes me happy!

Sorry, I just needed to squee :slight_smile:

That’s great but where are the pictures? :wink:

How exciting! I want pictures too!

I never thought I’d congratulate someone on their rats, but hey, a calling’s a calling. :slight_smile:

CongRATulations!

Yay for your ratties! I think they’re awesome.

Congratulations and PICTURES!!! :slight_smile:

(I miss my ratties.)

Had to click on the thread because I had no idea what it meant. It all makes sense now. I agree with others - if you’re going to squee over your rats, you have to post pictures.

The winner’s picture pages are still going up on the website so the full results page isn’t available yet, but I can show off my kiddos anyway :slight_smile:
