And thank goodness my mare didn't read the book when she went to Texas and 
conceived the very last foal by the late Kellogg stallion Lawmoss on Dec. 2 a 
couple of years ago!  That one WAS planned (albeit hastily when we realized 
that the stallion might not survive into the following "breeding season") and 
we were thrilled to death with the resultant Oct. 26 "daddy look-alike" filly!
