Nothing goes as you hope, with the timing and if a bitch or a mare can get you to change your own doctor's appt, to rush them to a vet for an AI, or destroy your plans for a good Sunday football game , or if they can give birth at 2 am on a Sunday morning in the pouring rain on a Holiday weekend....they will. It is all Mother Nature's master plan to make sure you are ready for the REAL work when the little ones arrive.....LOL . It's all part of the "fun" Kathy WEBSITE UPDATED: Jan 8, 2005 _http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com_ (http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com/) VICTORY GSDs, There Is Something In A Name ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
