Went to our second show of the year at Leetown, WV which was two rings but due to other commitments (grandson birthday) we had to leave early and were only able to take seniors. Our Lamancha Blue-Ridge Zoey took Reserve Grand in one ring  while our Obers won every class in both rings. Blue-Ridge Her Xcellency took Grand Champion in both rings and Blue Ridge Zephr was behind her as Reserve under both judges.

Blue-Ridge Venus died this evening. When we left her out in the morning she was fine but that night she did not want to eat. I suspected ketosis and treated her for that. Later she began aborting and when we assisted she was hot inside (red flag). The kids apparently had died and turned toxic. She was dead before we could get a vet here.
