I went into town and bought him some more horse pellets. I was surprised that the kid fed him at 4:00 p.m. but he forgot to water him even though his water barrel was downed.
In light of today's events...I, like millions of Americans...was glued to my television set. I did not get to check on Walter till late.
His water barrel was still empty
This time he did not turn me down when I offered him water. In fact he was glad to see me arriving with some liquid gold. Poor Walter, it got to 95 degrees...probably felt like more with the sun shining on him and no shade to speak of.
He drank 7.5 gallons this evening. I do believe the kid or someone from his house saw me from the window but no one came out.
