Yesterday he kept on looking at me every time I went outside and moving from side to side to get my attention but I had to ignore him. I love Walter but I love my mother even more and I don't want his owners to come to the conclusion that it has been me who has been reporting them all these years.
Sometimes I even feel like his owner is testing me by purposely not feeding or watering him to see if I will call the authorities and confirm his suspicions or maybe I am just being paranoid. Late yesterday afternoon I could not help myself and I went to check up on him and his water tank was partly downed which meant he had no water.
Had to remind myself that he has his owners to look after him on weekends. This morning I went to start mother's mini-van as I needed to go into town. He did his horse sound and was moving from side to side. I caved in and went to his corral and sure enough no water and no food. What he did have was his face covered with horse flies.
Yesterday I had gone to Sutherland's but lord and behold it was 8:15 p.m. and the store was closed so this morning I went back to buy Walter's horse pellets and I was lucky as that was the last bag.
When I was coming home, I slowed down as I passed his house. Since they cleared the overgrown bushes and cactus a while back I could see his barrel was upright and he was eating hay. That made me feel a little less guilty.
Late this afternoon I was watering mother's trees when I saw his owner and the two kids walking to the corral. They had a bag of something that they placed in the ice chest where they usually feed him. Was very surprised to say the least. The father waved at me and I reluctantly waved back.
Thank you for visiting Walter's World.
