Hi, all :)

I found this phrase in a novel (The Marked Son) and I'd like to know the meaning. I've googled it, but couldn't find one.


[FONT=&quot]“Shelley’s my best [/FONT][FONT=&quot]breeder. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I shouldn’t have left her, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]but she didn’t take this time around. [/FONT]

A million thanks for your help! :D

The writer mates this dog regularly, but on the most recent occasion she did not become pregnant.

You need to separate it like this: [FONT=&quot]“Shelley’s my best [/FONT][FONT=&quot]breeder. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I shouldn’t have left her, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]but she didn’t take, this time around. [/FONT]
The comma is not necessary but "she didn't take" is a unit as is "this time around".
