Liz- Some ppl just don't get it

This is the last month I would feel comfortable doing a safe breeding with her. She had to be bred because she is old. A good breeding range for first litters is around 4 to 8 months. Perferably around 6 months of age. The older the doe the greater the possibility of complications.


And please, what don't I get? That today is my free day? I don't know how long you people think it takes to clean house or feed pets or whatever, but not as long as you think to believe.
