After secretly testing the strength of his paddock's fence boards Relevante found a weak one that he was able to break allowing him to slip his head through the opening and grab a morsel of grass with his very dexterous lips. Off I marched to Tractor Supply to purchase enough 16 gauge wire mesh fencing to line the inside of his paddock from top to bottom. Now he's taken to chewing the wood above the gate closure of his stall door. Because the wood is rough-hewn I didn't notice it until the vet was out for vaccinations and showed me that his incisors on the left side of his mouth had significant wear. An investigation soon revealed the source of the problem. Tomorrow I'll be painting his doorway with Ultra Chew Guard like the Israelites covered their lintels and doorposts with blood during the 10 plagues of Eygpt as I mutter under my breath, "Your killin' me Smalls." (From the 1993 movie Sandlot).
