Waiting....

So, Obe was started on the alfalfa pellets this past week.  She's had a few days on them (she started full time on them on Friday after a test run on Thursday morning to make sure she'd eat them!).  So now begins the waiting game.  I'm excited to get her off the grain completely and get her NSCs as low as possible to see how that affects her attitude and general well being.  If she drops any weight, I can always add beet pulp or a ration balancer or Cool Calories...there are many options other than grain.  Right now, she's getting right at a pound of alfalfa pellets and a cup (about half pound) of Empower Boost at every feeding.  In the morning, she gets her MSM SmartPak...and that's it! 

Let the waiting game begin! 

If only this weren't true...

Sadly...I can't tell you how many times I've heard or had this kind of conversation.  *sigh*
