Guess my car just smells like failure compared to your dozer now. Maybe it's the regular diesel keeping the critters away.

Understand that founder is OFTEN more about diet than trimming schedules. While long hooves can cause problems, founder usually starts from inside the horse. I had a vet explain this after my own scare. You REALLY need to manage their feed and exercise along with trims. Your two-week rule is GREAT for keeping on track, but don't blame founder just on trims. It's a whole-body issue that needs constant attention.

Funny how nature keeps reminding us we're not really in charge, no matter how much we try to organize things. Squirrels chew through patio screens, raccoons have their own schedule for garbage night raids, and birds just invite themselves in. It’s like the wild world has a quiet agreement to test our fences and open doors, just to keep things interesting. That pigeon choosing your spice rack is the same deal, a little chaos breaking up the routine.

What about hiding protein in savory breakfast foods, ever try that?

That "lists starboard" line got me. My one try at brickwork was a little planter box. I was so proud until it dried and looked like it was trying to crawl away. It had a solid lean that would make a sailor dizzy. My husband still calls it my modern art piece.
