[ChickenPotPie]

I just got word that Amy Do, director of the movie Rabbit Fever and my friend Betty Chu, English Angora exhibtor are leaving tomorrow morning for New York City to appear on the NBC's today show! Eeee! I'm so excited!



They'll appear on Friday's show. You might want to record it. Betty is bringing her mulitple BIS winners Lucianna and Lilianna.

Can you tell I'm excited.

You're friends with Betty Chu?! That's like hanging out with JLo, only cooler cuz there's rabbits involved.

I'm soooo excited, I saw this on another thread. Is there somewhere I can get Rabbit Fever online? I still haven't seen it.

Yes, she really is known all over the world by rabbit exhibitors and more, isn't she?

Betty lives two towns over and we go to the same shows. We're not best buds or anything but we talk at shows and she's helped me in a lot of ways both with rabbit and personal stuff.

Betty is awesome. She's the one who taught me some of my most important grooming techniques. She's also told me that I cannot have Angoras. LOL She knows I have some high maintenance boys and tells me Angoras are for my later years and that my JWs are just my speed. She's so right.

I watched the trailer. What the hey? Was that a jack rabbit I got a glimpse of in the judging?

Yes, Betty is a good person. She helped my lovely wife Tracy get started in French Angoras by introducing us to breeders at the shows. She also helped us in our search for Satin Angora rabbits and other rabbit projects. She told us not to start with English Angoras since she has the best and we would not beat her. She was right. We would have been discouraged by not winning. But we did very well with French Angora, Satin Angora. We did okay with Giant Angora and eventually had a few English Angora too.

She also helped us get started in spinning. Betty is an accomplished fiber artist who spins, knits, and weaves with angora wool.

When showing Angora rabbits, exhibitors tend to set up camp, groom the rabbits with blowers, brushes, and combs, then sit around waiting for the rabbits to go up to the show table.

There is a lot of chat and information exchange.

I learned about angoras and fiber at Camp Angora.

Have a good day!

That was a Belgian Hare.

It's a rabbit that was bred to look like a hare.

Have a good day!
