I know the time=money thing, as a mechanic of 15 years.
I also know I cannot afford the animals I want, so I am going to work with the ones I have and add 1 or 2 more females to either make what I want or be able to sell/trade what I make to get the ones I want. Plus I want to see what my 2 "dinkers" will do
I am just not a patient person and dont know if I can make it waiting another year on my two girls. So I am starting a hunt for a female pastel close to the 2 yr mark here in san antonio.
