Went for my morning visit with Walter and found him eating his own feces. That is never a good thing and just tells me what I already know...he is not fed enough and is hungry. I should be used to this as I have seen him do this so many times but it still angers me.
I looked at his water barrel but could not tell even with the sun bearing down on it, if it was full or empty. I try to always offer him water before food otherwise he wont accept the water as he would rather keep on eating. However after seeing him eating poop, I decided food was more important.
I am almost out of his 50 lb bag of horse pellets but I was waiting on mom's mini-van to be fixed because it is easier for me to be able to unload it a little at a time while the bag is in an upright position as with my bad back there is no way I can lift it and carry it in the house.
I usually put them in butter or yogurt containers to seal in the freshness and to make the portions more manageable and then I place them in my giant size cooler so no critters like mice come calling.
After feeding him I offered him water but he declined, so I let him be. Came back an hour later but he still would not drink the water so I figured there must be water in his barrel.
Again this afternoon we had to go into town, it was 6:00 p.m. but I did not see the kid or his mother's car in the driveway. We came back an hour later and the ladies car was home but there was no sign that he had been fed.
As I made my way to his corral he was moving from side to side agitated. He devoured his pellets. Like this morning I offered him water but he wanted to flip it over, so I suppose he was not thirsty. I could see the television was on at his owners house so they were clearly home.
Thank you for visiting Walter's World.
