A huge thank you to Dr. Kellon & to all of the wonderful people who took time to reply to my post about my Mustang's "Non-IR" diagnosis after blood tests.... I really needed, and heard what you said about staying on top of the diet... I know that he doesn't need grass but I did need back up to continue my absolute, obsessive no-grass/no sugar ways... Your stories of slacking and the resultant horror will stay with me! Thank you, thank you....My guy will stand on a loose rein in our grassy fields knowing that there is a "head up" command and a neck slap waiting if he decides to violate the rules... No eating grass with a bit (ever) has always been a rule for my guys, so he was raised that way, and no eating while I am leading you somewhere is also a rule.... so yes, I am already quite a maniac and it actually is easy on him to have very clear rules. But now I will also not let those little sprouts in our dry lot go unpicked, and I will continue to kill off the perimeter outside, and not succumb to the insidious voice that tells me,... "well, a little bit can't hurt anything, anyway... don't be such a control freak"...
