what gets me--- as a person with a food/weight problem, I have always tended to want to overfeed everything around me. And the thought of my animals standing hungry wondering where I am just KILLS me. The few times I had to be out of town til 10 or 11 at nite or even once i think til 1 in the morning, I was just miserable thinking how my horses were hungry and wondering where I was. And when we were at the boarding barn they hired a 14 year old kid one time to feed and he would skip horses sometimes and I couldnt bear it, I would feed them myself... And the woman who had svertla was overweight.... I don't see why she did not think animals needed to eat. All her puppy mill breeder dogs were bones too, and filthy, laying in diahreah. She had a large wire cage with a mother and six puppys so close to the dining table it touched one corner and the puppies were laying in their own mess, loose mess, and the poor filthy mom was coated in it. My husband said later he was just sitting there the whole time trying not to vomit. I am a pretty big slob but I do have my limits :) i think she must have been mentally ill, theres just no other explanation. If someone told me a horse didnt need to eat much--- oh well, I may as well admit it! Karen you told me Tivar didnt need grain or hay and he was a real nice weight without it but I just cant stand the thought of him and nasi standing there feeling left out when I feed and I have no grass like karen, so I gove them hay and then at feeding time a little handful of pellets or beetpulp. I wish I had a seminole dealer close by so I could give them a handful of haffy hoof every meal but I dont but anyway... I know its ME, my issue and I imprint it on my animals. Thank goodness my issue isnt to starve things! yikes. Janice Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
