Anyone out there care to share? I would be interested to hear if it is a regional thing, or more widespread. Any ideas. I think we all wonder if we are going crazy, lol, or maybe our bitches sense some kind of environmental change??? Love to hear from others seeing this. I am ready to pull my hair out w/ one. September 11 was a year since her last season...she will be 3 in January and to date she had had (only) 2 seasons. She was late starting, then ten months apart, now a year and counting. She's finished, OFA good hips, dual titled.... I'd like to have a litter... I have a few boys on my "short list", but if/when she comes in, I think my best shot to get her in whelp may be w/ a housemate so I'm leaning towards going back to her grandfather to see if.... I almost had myself convinced that since there wasn't another intact bitch here...maybe that had something to do with it...you know how when one comes in they all come in. I know it sounds silly...but...
