A Year Ago There Were Three

One of the main reason I started my other blog was because I wanted a Cyber Journal so if I was in need of a date or event I could easily find it no matter where I was at.

Tonight I was looking back at last year posts for the month of February and boy did we go from one spectrum to the other weather wise.  Had also forgotten that when we had a sleet storm Walter's owner had three horses (he used to have four but one died).  Here is the link... http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2012/02/rain-sleet-and-ice.html

I'm glad we did not have a sleet storm this year and with the warming temperatures forecasted for next week doubt we will experience one.  Last night it got down to 34 and right now it is 37 and Walter had a runny left nostril today, hope he doesn't get sick.

We went into town this afternoon around 6:15 p.m. and as of that time Walter had not been fed for the day even though the kid had been home from school for at least two hours.  When we came back at 7:11 p.m. he was finishing up his daily ration but without the sun shining on his water barrel could not tell if it had been filled or not.  Guess I will find out tomorrow morning.

I have no idea why someone would want to take on the great responsibility that comes with owning a horse when they obviously have no time to devote to their animal nor the economic means to properly care for him.

Thank you for visiting Walter's World.

  1. Does he let you know if he's hungry or thirsty?

  2. He does, he acts agitated and moves his head from side to side. I usually offer him water first because if I offer him food he wont take the water afterwards hoping I will keep on feeding him.
