Re: [RC] feeding broodmares - Bette Lamore

Thanks for the feedback, Susan. Always worth heeding.
BTW I was referring to the local vets---- Charlie is my I-need-the-best-leg-man-in-the-country-and-am-willing-to-drive-an-hour-each-way-for-him vet. And my Charlie story is when he was buried appointments and my stallion Explodent needed another surgery---- double tenectomy in fact--- and Charlie got up at 5AM to be there by 6 and couldn't ask that of his staff so there I was with him on an air mattress on his lawn (before that fancy new operating room he has now) holding up the saline solution--- assisting with the anesthesia--- and loving every minute of watching a genius in action! It wouldn't be the last surgery he let me sit in on, either---- beats ER on TV all to hell! And bet he remembers that story--- he remembered you last time I mentioned you had fond memories of him.
Thanks again for your feedback!

BTW, I have a story for you about Charlie that I doubt he remembers.  Years
ago, I was in my first semester of undergrad pre-vet and I had a pregnant
broodmare up in Santa Ynez waiting to foal.  Charlie came out to see her and
said it would be at least another week before she foaled.  Sure enough, she
foaled my little mare Katy late that night.  I zipped up to see her and
Charlie came out for her check-up.  I asked what was up with his errors in
prediction and his reply was that no other profession provides as many
opportunities for looking like an idiot as does vet medicine.  I'll bet he
doesn't remember it, but I sure do! <g>
