We assured the kids that we would keep Jessie...she would just keep being the mom, but her babies were for butchering when they were bigger. (We'll take her back to Jordan for breeding). Sometimes I think it might be too much for kids to have to deal with, but hey, if we were back in the pioneer days...?
I have loved watching Jacob blossom in his responsibility in the few days that we've had her. He LOVES that rabbit. He named her. He put political pressure on Anna to join him in his vote. It was between "Silver" and "Jessie." If you knew Jacob's latest obsession with a particular robot from a particular movie that will last from infinity and beyond, you'll know where he came up with the name. First person to guess correctly is the correct first guesser! (I know myself and my schedule well enough to not even attempt to promise a prize. I know, I know...I never even told you, out of all the wonderful comments and suggestions, what we named our first three goat kids-and we don't even have them anymore).
Before my tired brain spits out any more disjoined post material, I'm going to bed!

The boys and I were thinking about the meat rabbit thing recently. I would love to hear how it goes, how much work it is, etc. Also, keep in mind that down here in the lower 48, we aren't used to working quite as hard, so scale your analysis up or down for us softer folks.

Soooo, I know the movie is Toy Story 2, but wasn't Jessie a cowgirl? Just wondering... :)
