Vacation in Columbus

[Miss Z]

Great pictures, Monica. Those cakes are incredible! I can't imagine how long they must take to perfect.

How kind of you to give the animals water. In temperatures as high as you say, they would have been in real danger of dehydration. Was there some sort of official on hand that you could have highlighted the problem to? I don't suppose every time shows like that are held, that there is a caring person such as yourself about to lend a hand.

Thank you, Monica. What wonderful pictures, and what a delightful outing that must have been!

Thank you also and God bless you for looking after the animals and giving them water. I wonder if there are officials at such events who are supposed to oversee the care of animals on exhibit.

There were people sitting by a table, owners or breeders of the buns, maybe judges or people who signed you in. Not sure. As soon as I saw the buns I noticed that many had no water or that the drinking cans were dirty. So I mentioned it, and after waiting 5 minutes in the heat of that barn I could not stand it any more and asked where the water was, he directed me to the watering can and water. Steve opened cages for me, so I could clean the little water cups. Some were really dirty. Some were spilled and dry as a bone. I probably filled over 150 between rabbits and roosters and chickens.
They were so grateful. All the animals so sweet and kind and grateful. It was hot and I was sweating but I was also happy in my heart to help. My soul sang when I saw the buns drink the cool water. At one point I was so tired Steve filled the water up for me and did some too. Once he saw how thirsty they were and how they drank right away he helped with a true heart.
One would think being a bun owner that the rabbits stole my heart but it was this rooster who stuck his whole head in and just drank and drank and drank. I went to see him the next day and I do believe he remembered me.
