Title: Looking for a maaaaaaaaan.
Post by: Lesley Silvester on January 04, 2013, 05:12:44 pm

Before this year, Pom came into season every twenty days.  this year she switched to 21 days but she is now is season but was due on Monday.  I was beginning to think that Curry still had the wherewithal and had been at her.  Judging by the hoof prints on her back, he has been dooing his best.   :roflanim:

Need to check whether the owner of the male wants her CAE tested then book her in for 25th, assuming she is back to being regular.  I thought it was only humans whose cycles could vary.

Rowan is looking for a maaaaaaaaaaaaan today (and tomorrow) too. She clearly didn't get in kid when I took her to the billy, and I don't want her to kid so long after Ellie, so we've got this now, two days of earplugs needed, every 18 days til....March?  :P

We're usually done by the end of February so must get her done next time. She was late starting this year though.  I didn't notice anything til the beginning of December. She's as ratty as h**l with Cloud - snapping and butting her.  Mind you, Cloud does try to wind her up.
