It has been a cold, wet and dreary day. The dogs slept in the garage/carport/shed last night and left on their rounds around noon. They must go in different directions because they do not return together.
El Enano (Ralph's dog pal) has been spending a lot of time with Tontolin so that means Ralph is not with him. Ralph is so evasive. He comes around for a couple of days and then he goes missing in action. Before they closed the main road into the sub-division I went to HEB to stock up and bought him his cat food.
My gosh when did cat food go up so much? His small bag of food was almost $5.00 so Ralph I might just have to switch you to HEB's brand or feed you dog food....joking!
He stayed away for a couple of days and it wasn't until Thursday February 26th that he finally showed up. He has not been back since. I sure wish I knew where he hangs out at.
Tonight it is drizzling and I feel so bad for Walter and Dulcinea but more for Walter since he is in that wet feces infested corral with mud up to his ankles.
My little Walter

No dogs, no Ralph, the Flu
It seemed so strange to look out the window in the morning and not see the dogs sleeping by the front door or by the front tree. Funny how I got attached to them both without even noticing it. I could see the little path they had made from the front yard of the adjacent lot near Walter's corral all the way to my tent and going to the backyard where the down fence is at.
I had a lot of theories as to why Pedrito left. Perhaps his owner had been out of town or maybe had been incarcerated and he had to take to the streets to fend for himself. Maybe he just got out of the hospital or a nursing home and now he had his owner back.
In the mean time Ralph did not seem at all preoccupied with his absence. He looked a little thin and he was sneezing quite a bit. He did not eat much but he drank a lot of water and went to sleep in the warm sunny rays atop dad's old car.
That afternoon I fed him supper and once again my ex-little porky pig ate very little. That was the last time I saw him, Thrusday, February 12th one day after I last saw Pedrito.
He could have very well come by Friday and Saturday but I got the flu and was out for almost two days. Unfortunately, mother caught my germs and Sunday she fell ill as well.
The saga continues...

A milestone was reached
It was a cold and wet day. Once again Walter spent his time by the fence bordering the corral. Saw when his owner using a pitch fork threw some hay his way. Today he did not put it by his feeding station as that would have required his owner having to go into that soggy corral.
It was 2:45 p.m. when he did that so I am pretty certain he had not been fed since yesterday. There is very little to graze on at mom's property, he has pretty much eaten all there is to eat. I went to check his water and noting that it was low, I once again hooked up the water hose to fill it up.
Tomorrow the weatherman says we will finally see the sun, for Walter and Dulcinea's sake I sure hope so!
Another day that Ralph does not come by.
A new milestone was reached today...Walter's blog received 10,000 visits. Thank you!
